Covid19 Update

Wuhan Virus deaths continue to climb in the good ole U.S. of A.  There are 1,241 deaths today, 241 more deaths than yesterday. The top ten states are:


New York: 454
Washington: 150
Louisiana: 83
California: 82
New Jersey: 81
Meechigan: 61
Gawgia: 56
Florida: 29
Massachusetts: 25
Texas: 24

Louisiana surged into third place as the situation grows more dire in New Orleans.  The Times-Picayune reported:

 Louisiana is taking drastic steps to surge its medical capacity to prepare for what officials fear could be an overwhelming tide of coronavirus patients in the coming days, with the state planning to put more than 1,100 beds in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center to ease the strain on New Orleans area hospitals.

The move, which will see 120 beds in the convention center by the end of this weekend, is the linchpin of a plan to boost the number of hospital beds, health care workers, ventilators, protective equipment and other resources available in Louisiana.

That plan now includes 60 new health staffers and two new 250-bed field hospitals to be provided by the federal government – half of the 1,000 beds Gov. John Bel Edwards requested – along with nearly 400 ICU beds that hospitals across the state are adding in the coming days and weeks.... Rest of article.

The troll woke up early in his mom's basement. Maybe Sally five-fingers aroused him.

Callous very much? This is just the tip of the iceberg. Why don't you take a short drive down to New Orleans and offer a helping hand.

Johns Hopkins tracking of the Chinese flu has become worthless. Cantrell has never been equal to the job.

Anonymous 8:30 AM,

What kind of "helping hand" do you mean? Are you down there?

No? Thought so.

This ought to make the staff happy.

COVID-19 social distancing has critically limited our advertising revenues.

We do not want to lay people off.

If you appreciate our work, please support our staff by paying what you can to become a JFP VIP today. Thank you!

KF I think you’re the sanest voice going right now in Miss media. Thank you for keeping me updated.

@8:30 here. If @6:43 felt this was nothing, then they could lend a helping hand in a "hot" zone. I was being a bit of a butthole.

I am actually going to work everyday at an essential operation, and putting myself and potentially my family in jeopardy. Be safe.

P.S. I see you had fun with Georgia and Michigan on the list, but why not the others as well?

New Yawk
Warshington
Loosana
Californication
New Joisey
Florider
Massattusetts
Texas (ok, don't mess with Texas)

Some interesting data here. From this one two-week sample most of the movement in the lower 4/5ths of MS appears to be passthrough.

to all the people like phil bryant who after his trade junket there, thought china was such a wonderful place, strap this one on. the communist party that runs china knew about this virus as far back as fall 2019. they did everything they could to suppress news about the spread of it. for those paying attention, please be advised that the communist party runs the media there and they tell the population only what they want them to hear. no-one , not even a government , wants to admit they were wrong about not jumping on this problem right out of the gate.
when this is over trump should slap a huge tariff on all their junk products they produce in order to pay for all the damage done as well as telling them to stop their commercial sale of wildlife for human consumption , or else. this is another example of how brain dead politicians and the wacked out left wing want to blame every body and every thing except who caused this outbreak. you got your precious chinese communist party to blame for this and nobody else. and yes, that s the same outfit that people have been glorifying in this country for the past 15 years. tell me all you china lovers? what do you think about that bat eating country now? TELL ME!!!!

Not a fan of Chicom, before, during, or after the virus. Don't believe a word they say. Bring the jobs home. Build the wall. Trade yes, but on our terms, fair competition.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. 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.
