The State of Louisiana is taking a big hit from the COVID-19, or coronavirus, outbreak. The state has one of the largest "hot spots" of the virus, and the growth rate in the state has been concerning.

But the other thing Louisiana has been doing, it leading the way in helping one another. Locally we've seen tremendous support for our local restaurants, now we see Drew Brees doing his thing.

Drew Brees has been helping Louisiana since shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Brees started giving back to the state then, and gets a lot of credit for helping to rebuild the city. Now Brees is giving back in response to the virus outbreak...

Drew Brees is an incredible football player, the greatest New Orleans Saint of all time, but he's a better human being. For all of the championships, and records, Drew Brees should get way more credit for his character.
