    Actually, I was told by someone that most migrant workers in China have 2 phones, one for work and since they haven't been working that is a large part of that. Not sure how true but I still believe China lost way more people than they claim. One number I heard was 50-60,000

    I was born in Opelousas, grew up in Alexandria and live in Texas because I wanted to be close enough to home to visit without living there. I love it here.

    Not that I care a lot, but my feeling is that DeBlasio has been routinely blasted as near inept. Cuomo is getting, deservedly so, great accolades on his factual briefings, but he took a lot of heat in his delaying school closures.

    I spent my early childhood in Denham Springs. Then we moved to Lake Charles for my step dads work. Most of my family is in the Prairieville/Gonzales area. I left Louisiana at the young age of 21 to join the military.

    The wife is probably the reason I dont live in Louisiana. Texas has a lot of depth in choices in places to live and close enough to visit. (minus the time I spend in West Texas).

    My father was from Covington and mother from BR. We spent my fist 10 years in New Orleans then my father was transferred to Phoenix then San Francisco. We moved back to BR when I was in the 8th grade and lived there through Katrina. Afterward I moved to Covington to help my father through dementia. Lee High and LSU grad

    San Francisco ... ok that explains a lot. That place is a virus, warping every mind it comes into contact with. :p

    That makes the most sense, I do not think 21 million people died in china.

    So many Louisiana people I talk to in Texas say the same thing.
