Jackson Jambalaya

The damage from the shutdown will be more substantial and longer lasting and more fatal than the virus itself.

they're blue states?

That sure screws up the narrative.

Mississippi's reporting is unreliable. There is a Hinds County case known all over Northeast Jackson that doesn't show up in reporting. There is a suspected case in Rankin County where testing results weren't back yesterday because......wait for it......the medical clinic forgot to send the sample out to be tested on Friday.

Yeah I still can't filter by race. What is with you media people and your slavish colorblindness?

Why isn’t that being reported?

Perfect example of why bioweapons are bad business. They always cause blowback.

Other than the disproportionate mortality rate for elderly people, the only other thing that stands out is the lack of a morbidity rate. We have no dreaming idea how many people are infected.

Unless you are aged or already medically compromised there is no need to take any test. The notion that TPTB can manage a controlled exposure process to produce a right-sized (flattened) curve that matches available hospital resources over (x) months/years is 100% pure steaming bullshit.

It isn't too late to purchase ammunition if you haven't already done so but at this point you should hurry.

Antard is itching to lockdown Jackson. A Marxist dream come true.

This is not useful.
It is early days and testing has not been widely available.
Drawing conclusions from a small reported sample is ridiculous.
And, woman clearly missed that the "community" contacts not identified with travel spread quickly. Nor does she " get" that , in every flu, those who are frail and old are the first reported as they are the most vulnerable.
Our Governor's recent trip to Spain and self quarantine may be our salvation. He was in a position to see why he needed to react quickly and decisively.
This is a time to listen to experts and not get your information from those for whom " a little knowledge is dangerous".

Wonder what the real agenda is. World wide and in the USA the infected rate is well below 1%. The U.S.(350 M) has seen a steady rise in infections since the outbreak began, with at least 4,661 confirmed cases and 85 deaths as of Tuesday morning. Now the Prez and his group, all violating their social distancing on TV, are talking about how to use the DoD MASH Units. They need to isolate the sick and let the unaffected folks go about their day to day activities. Shame they don't do this for the Flu.

This is a time to listen to experts and not get your information from those for whom " a little knowledge is dangerous".

Absolutely. That is why I'm not listening to you.

11:22, with up to a 14 day symptom free incubation period that you are still contagious, your comment just shows how low information most people are.

Washington state was ground zero. There was a Mardsi Gras party at the nursing home several days before the virus ripped through it. They had no idea what was happening with CVID-19, and we can now see the results of taking no preventative measures. For the rest of us to pretend nothing is happening is to invite those same results. This is not 1999, and there is good reason for us to not party like it is.

Interesting, yet not surprising, that California reports male, female, other.

Sharyl is hot

Almost all fatalities were people in their 50s or older. Americans 55+ make up almost 30% of the population. Unfortunately the Millenials don’t care one bit if they get the virus while on spring break or bar hopping and then bring it home to their parents or grandparents. Nobody wants the world to grind to a halt, but there are things everyone needs to do to protect a large percentage of our citizens until an effective treatment or a vaccine can be developed and distributed.

I hear Mississippi has more epidemiologists than people than can spell epidemiologist. The comments on this post tend to support that rumor!
