16. I live in New Orleans. We had a ton of cases early on, but got it under control.

At one point, my city had the highest per capita infection rate in the world. It was pretty damn scary.

My state has not yet announced that they will block people from Florida and other hot spots from visiting Louisiana, but I am all for it.

It's been really tough, but New Orleanians mostly followed the rules and the mayor has been cracking down on businesses that violate the orders from her office.

I don't want to see an increase of cases in my city and state because other states defied reason and logic. I want them to stay the hell away and I will back my governor and mayor 100% if they choose to keep the idiots out, by whatever means.

We suffered through some pretty stiff restrictions early on and I don't want to see us lose all that hard work because some morons in another state don't believe in science.
