Mississippi: 10, Hinds County: 2

Update: A UMC student and a JSU student tested positive for the virus. 

The Mississippi State Department of Health reported more cases of the Wuhan Virus, including two patients in Hinds County.




Sharyl Atkisson posted a complete list of U.S. Covid19 deaths on her website. The list includes basic patient information. The common denominator is the age of the patient.   There are 62 deaths. The number of deaths for patients below the age of 60 is less than the fingers of your hand.   Those patients had underlying health issues.

The timeline as I understand it: Last Thursday Jackson hosted the Tobymac concert and the next day announced school closings. That same day, Friday, the Governor returned from Spain with his family. The next day, Saturday, a travel ban from Europe was announced. On Sunday, the first COVID-19 cases were reported in Hinds County.

Rather than looking for fault at the federal level, perhaps we should look in the mirror.

Oh, NO, Kingfish. You MUST subscribe to the hysteria and bathe in the media frenzy. There is a killer on the loose and we must cower in FEAR.

Stay home! Avoid people!

Don’t wait for government to tell you where to avoid, use common sense. I sense that things are about to get really bad. There are most likely people walking around who have it and don’t know it yet...already exposing everyone.

@1:29. I’m a 50 year old on immunosuppressive drugs for a chronic disease. I can stay home for a while without losing my job, but my wife has to go into the public occasionally. I would greatly appreciate it if you could do what you can to avoid public places to the greatest extent possible so even if you come through this fine you minimize the risk of crossing paths with her and possibly eventually killing me. Thanks for your empathy and consideration.

Watch for an influx of cases around our state in 14-28 days. Will doctors at UMMC self quarantine after spending off time in highly infected areas?
I agree @4:44, stay home, avoid crowded areas.... basic comprehension required for favorable results,

Department of health stopped reporting patients’ age. The new ones must’ve been young people.

Thanks for keeping updates in an easy to access format, KF.

1:29, please educate yourself with Nassim Taleb's thoughts on the situation.

Like the title. Mississippi whooped Hinds ass.

Wake up said...

There is a surgeon at a downtown Jackson hospital who got bored so went to New Orleans with his wife and other friends then posted pics all over the Facebook. Then he will be in surgery Monday morning. It’s hard to imagine his lack of judgement. And how could someone be so self centered as to brag about which restaurants they are in while in New Orleans, which has the highest per capita infection rate in the country. Let’s bet better than this

If Archives and History can 'close down' the Governor's Mansion and other venues around the state, who has the authority to require that the big box stores, out of an abundance of caution, close for a period of time?

Obviously these places have no concern about public health. Costco went right ahead with grand opening and allowed several thousand to congregate, even after schools and other venues had announced extended closures.

Why can't the State Department of Health (or some other authority) shutter some of these huge breeding labs? They obviously will not do it on their own initiative.

Meanwhile, keep putting your hands and fingers on those gas pump handles, key pads at the stores and mini-bank, car-wash buttons and vacuum nozzles, the little plastic pencils you sign with at checkout, hand rails and door handles at Belk and Target.

The bankruptcy sales have happened, yet. He will advertise them this summer or fall after this blows over.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
