Louisiana congressman-elect dies of Covid
Luke Letlow was to have been sworn in Sunday.

Rep.-elect Luke Letlow (R-La.) has died from the coronavirus, multiple sources confirmed Tuesday evening. He was 41.

Letlow, who announced on Dec. 18 that he tested positive for Covid-19, had been in the intensive care unit at Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport.

"The family appreciates the numerous prayers and support over the past days but asks for privacy during this difficult and unexpected time," the family said in a statement that was first reported by the Monroe News-Star. "A statement from the family along with funeral arrangements will be announced at a later time."

Letlow, who served as chief of staff to former Rep. Ralph Abraham (R-La.) before being elected to fill that seat, was supposed to be sworn into Congress on Sunday. He is the first member or member-elect to die from the coronavirus, though dozens of lawmakers have tested positive for Covid-19 over the past year.

Letlow leaves behind a wife and two small children. He was initially admitted to a Monroe hospital on Dec. 19, but was transferred and placed in the ICU last week when his condition deteriorated.

Lawmakers and aides on Capitol Hill said they were devastated to learn of Letlow’s passing. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a brief statement that “our hearts break tonight as we process the news.”

The entire Louisiana delegation, led by House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, issued a joint statement offering their condolences.

“Luke had such a positive spirit, and a tremendously bright future ahead of him. He was looking forward to serving the people of Louisiana in Congress, and we were excited to welcome him to our delegation where he was ready to make an even greater impact on our state and our Nation,” the statement said.

“More than anything, Luke was a loving husband, father, brother, and son, and his family — like so many others who have been affected by this evil disease — needs our prayers.”

Gov. John Bel Edwards offered condolences via Twitter: "It is with heavy hearts that FirstLadyOfLA and I offer our condolences to Congressman-elect Luke Letlow’s family on his passing after a battle with COVID-19. #lagov."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid him tribute as well: “Congressman-elect Letlow was a ninth-generation Louisianan who fought passionately for his point of view and dedicated his life to public service. As the House grieves Congressman-elect Letlow’s passing, our sorrow is compounded by the grief of so many other families who have also suffered lives cut short by this terrible virus. May it be a comfort to Luke’s wife Julia and their children Jeremiah and Jacqueline that so many mourn their loss and are praying for them at this sad time.”

And Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the GOP conference chair in Congress, also mourned Letlow's passing: "Such devastating news about Congressman-elect Letlow. A tremendous loss - we will be praying for Luke and his family."

Louisiana's 5th District covers the northeast part of the state. Letlow had won a runoff Dec. 5 over another Republican, state Rep. Lance Harris, to settle one of the last undetermined races of the 2020 election cycle. Abraham had declined to seek reelection this year.

Before working for Abraham, Letlow had worked in the administration of Bobby Jindal, Louisiana's former governor.

On Twitter, Jindal said: "I first met Luke when he was still a college student, and spent countless hours with him in his truck driving the back roads of Louisiana. His passion for service has been a constant throughout his life."

Instances of candidates being elected to Congress and dying before they can be sworn in have been very rare. One notable instance was Jack Swigert, a former astronaut who was elected to a House seat in Colorado in 1982 but died of cancer in late December.

LSU Health Shreveport Chancellor G.E. Ghali said Letlow died from a heart attack following a procedure related to the infection.

Assuming this is true (which it probably isn’t or is at least a huge embellishment), you’re saying he died from a procedure that was only necessary in the first place because he had COVID, but the cause of his death wasn’t COVID?

According to Karrin logic no one ever dies due to AIDS since AIDS itself is never what kills people but actually other illnesses that people’s immune systems can’t fight if they have AIDS.

Brain ischemia can happen without bleeding at all, no loss of blood. If you're going to keep moving the goalpost eventually you'll be correct. Some die from blunt force trauma, not from bleeding to death.

Hey, this pedantic meandering should be right up your alley.

Weighting the risks doesn't factor into the cause of death.

If you're drowning so I try to save you but run you over in my boat and kill you, did you die from drowning? If instead you die of a heart attack while being pulled into the boat because of the strain on your body from the rescue, did you die from drowning?

So now the mask protects the wearer?

[Winehole23]

So now the mask protects the wearer?If others mask up and social distance at a high rate, the answer seems to be yes.

[DMC]

If others mask up and social distance at a high rate, the answer seems to be yes.

If others mask up...

That's too many variables. What does "others mask up" have to do with "do masks protect the WEARER"?

So if others are masked up and someone isn't wearing a mask, is that person now at a risk of contracting the virus vs being masked? If so then the masks aren't preventing the spread.

a typical surgical mask would provide some incidental protection to the wearer, though that is not the primary benefit. a different mask like an N95 would protect the wearer more.

It mostly works the other way. If you have the virus -presumably you wouldnt be a sociopath and don't know- and you don't wear a mask then you are spreading the shit all over the place. People make contact with surfaces your shit is on or your crap in the air gets on them.

The mask does protect you to a certain extent. It prevents you from breathing it in directly. However if a maskless carrier is spreading it all over you or you interact with things where they have been then you can get it the next time you eat or when you get home and take off your clothes etc. That is the point of handwashing.

The virus can incubate for up to two weeks so there are a whole lot of people that don't know. That is the point of staying at home whether you have symptoms or not.

It requires community effort of course which is anathema to your objectivist ideals but it is there just the same. The point is not to ensure protection. The point is to make things safer. The only thing that would ensure safety would be draconian quarantine measures. It's why so many draconian states have done so well with this.

There are several good writeup in sci-am, JAMA, and the NEJM.

So basically him not wearing a mask at times probably had little to nothing to do with this guy getting COVID. I mean, we aren't monitoring who's washing their hands or using poor hygiene practices with masks and other PPE.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have worn a mask, it's a douchebag move to go without one around others. However let's not keep getting the cart before the horse and pretending the mask protects the wearer when in reality it most likely offers very little protection sans all the other caveats. If you're going to say someone deserved to die because they didn't wear a mask, then how many of the total deaths were people who "deserved to die"? Of course those not in politics get a pass (unless they ever tweeted about masks from a conservative standpoint), because that blame can be placed on the outgoing POTUS.

They were made long after the invent of masks.

The change wasn't made to protect the wearer.

By the time the change was made, millions were likely infected already.

His point is valid. Republican congressmen like him have decided to set an example that it is unnecessary to wear masks in a group setting. Now he's dead. I'm glad.

[DMC]

This has been pointed to him a dozen times, his reiterations are pure bad faith and "agenda driven."

Like I said before, one of these has to be true:

1. The CDC didn't know masks protect the wearer and gained sudden new knowledge in May of 2020 (impossible)
2. The CDC knew the mask protects the wearer and lied to the public. (improbable)
3. The CDC doesn't rely on the efficacy of masks to protect the wearer but to mitigate the spread from the wearer to others. (most likely)

This "protect the wearer" concept is ad hoc and lacks any real scientific basis. For a group that harps on following science, some of you sure don't seem to mind abandoning it for convenience.

It's enough to wear it to protect others from you, wearing is wearing, but the fad is now to use COVID as a scarlet letter "he didn't wear a mask, of course he got COVID". It doesn't follow the science.

Shit or go blind, McGoo.

[DMC]

His point is valid. Republican congressmen like him have decided to set an example that it is unnecessary to wear masks in a group setting. Now he's dead. I'm glad.

no but he probably had the virus for a period of time before he was tested and gave a whole bunch of other people covid from not wearing his mask.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Stop the nonsense. Science for decades has shown cloth masks to be useless. No one will ever know what is happening due to pcr tests.

I've read scientific testing on various mask types and the efficacy comes down to layers and the density of the threading but they do have relative levels of effectiveness.

I would ask you to provide a scientific journal that states what you claim and if you do I'll show you eight that don't.

[spurraider21]

When were these comments made? What did they say exactly? Have they changed recommendations at all since then?


They were made long after the invent of masks.

The change wasn't made to protect the wearer.

By the time the change was made, millions were likely infected already.

You're being obtuse intentionally.

Masks either protect you from a virus or they do not protect you from a virus. The efficacy of masks didn't change in 2020. The CDC already stated masks do not protect you from the virus. The reason they changed their advice was to mitigate the spread from asymptomatic individuals. Now the narrative has shifted to "masks protect you" without science to back that up. The CDC knew what level of protection masks offered even in 2019. For them to say they do not protect you from the virus, then to turn around and say "but they might prevent you from spreading it if you have it" just reinforces the notion that they do not protect the wearer.

None of this is an argument against mask wearing. It's simply an argument against the claim that someone caught COVID because they weren't wearing a mask.

[DMC]

Fuck these citizens that ignore social distancing requirements.

Nice to know.

You can stop harping on the death count now since it's likely many of them ignored social distancing requirements. Their deaths are all good things.

you've been told a hundred times before that masks are generally worn to protect others FROM you, and not the other way around.

surgical masks dont create a seal, so they dont necessarily protect the wearer from catching a virus that can be breathed in (as i said in an earlier post, something like an N-95 mask would do a better job of that). with that said, even a surgical mask does provide some incidental protection to the wearer, but not significantly to the point where people should feel confident wearing it for their own safety. at a time when the virus was contained, or at the least, not very far spread, it doesnt necessarily make sense to have everybody wearing surgical masks. but now that its everywhere and its impossible to know at a given time who does or doesnt have it (short of everybody getting tested weekly), it makes more sense as a precautionary measure. if there's incidental protection to the wearer, thats just a bonus.

the cdc knew that surgical masks dont give much protection, which is why they werent recommended at the time. N-95 style masks were in short supply, and it was needed by medical professionals as PPE, which is why people were cautioned against buying them.

however, now that the virus has spread considerably, to the point where we have millions of active cases, it does make sense to have people wear masks in public to prevent unnecessary spread of the virus

this congressman-elect was a dipshit for going to public events where nobody (including himself) seemed to be wearing a mask, at the time there is a contagious virus going around

Supply should not affect CDC recommendations for personal safety and virus transmission. The supply issue should be dealt with through legislation, not misinformation and misdirection. Either way, the CDC did not say masks were to protect the wearer but it's slowly morphing into that, and with it comes the finger pointing and hatred, basically you forfeit your right to live if you don't wear a mask. The same people against the death penalty are glad an otherwise innocent man is dead because he didn't wear a mask.

Funny you folks have to keep being reminded of something you claim you already know. There are a lot of people who are dead today because they did not take advised precautions, either social distance, hygiene, masks or visitation to people already under quarantine. All of these people are just as guilty of ignoring this advice as are the others. Singling out someone because they are in an opposing party and saying they deserved to die for it, that's pretty inconsistent with all the crying over the death count.

what exactly did the CDC say about masks that got you so concerned?

[DMC]

This particular death should be looked at further proof that the conspiratards and the "you cannot tell me what to do" attitude are dangerous and the conservative movement needs to reevaluate what is important.

But you have no idea who in the death tally was a conspiratard and since ~ half of the voting population is conservative, and it's been said here that COVID affects the right more than the left, then checks and balances would show probably an overall positive effect from the good deaths canceling out the bad ones.

It was about conspiratards and the "you cannot tell me what to do" culture encouraging others not to wear masks and not to take the vaccine. It's about spreading sickness and causing death as a result.

So their deaths are a good thing, just as Spurminator said. It's good that republicans die. That's been established since it wasn't challenged.

Now we are just toting the ciphers. If half the deaths are republicans, then those were good deaths. Being good deaths, they have to have a net positive effect. The dead democrats, those are unfortunate deaths and those are the victims in all this, so that's a net negative. The net positive should cancel out the net negative. Justice is served, or if you prefer, karma is served.
