Louisiana Leads U.S. In New COVID-19 Cases As Hospitalizations Soar

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA - AUGUST 17: Nurse Carla Brown (L) fist bumps Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards at an event where the governor honored her for her vaccine work on August 17, 2021 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Brown embarked on a personal mission to save lives and vaccinate members of underserved communities in Baton Rouge after her husband David died of COVID-19. Since March, she has helped vaccinate more than 2,000 people, many in their homes because they were elderly or did not have access to transportation. Brown and co-worker Missy Hastings work as a team during the in-home visits where they also provide accurate vaccine information helping to dispel the fears of those who don’t trust the medical establishment. Louisiana holds one of the nation’s lowest vaccination rates with just 38 percent of its residents fully-vaccinated. COVID-19 hospitalizations hit a new daily record of more than 3,000 in the state today. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
