Jackson Jambalaya

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.

Waiting for one of the medical marijuana cultists to claim that pot can treat the Wuhan clap.

Eeehhh 3:54

watcha talkin bout? my stash has me feelin jus finnnnnnne.

Has anyone checked on Carter Jewelers? I’m worried because I haven’t seen the Coronavirus Liquidation sale advertised

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.

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.

Feed the frenzi. 4:34.

"Has anyone checked on Carter Jewelers? I’m worried because I haven’t seen the Coronavirus Liquidation sale advertised "

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

4:34, keep talking out of where you're going to use all that toilet paper you've hoarded!!!!

Hopefully it'll muffle the blah, blah, blah sound of your voice!
