I still see people out going into stores which is very very risky. People should only do essential shopping right now.

Wendy's is serving breakfast again. I will spend my last days on this earth enjoying it every morning. Every fast food joint has an open drive through. I've got masks.

Out in California neighbors are calling 911 when they hear other neighbors cough and sneeze. If that sort of tattle tale bullshit starts happening here I'm going to fake cough my brains out. I might even drive over and fake cough on the sidewalks of the Fondren.

Jesus H Christ. What will we do with a real problem.

Still an absolute nothing burger. How many have died of influenza in the same amount of time? I'm betting triple the numbers.

And Trump, to little too late, has completely caved to the Democrats. What a disgrace.

11:54, glad you have masks, and also glad that you fall for the concept that the mask will be of benefit.

Surgical masks are designed to prevent the 'outflow' of air from the wearer's mouth - they do little if anything to prevent the 'inflow'.

Even if your mask did help, the transmission of COVID is not limited to the air one breathes, but is more often transmitted from person to person on surfaces.

So - enjoy your breakfast, eating in at Wendys. If that's what floats your boat have at it. For myself, I would have passed up the opportunity anyway without the COVID issue.

Wendy’s breakfast isn’t even very good. It’s overpriced crap. You can have all of it.

12:59 has the palette of a kindergartener. You going to tell how McDonald's is so much better? Wendy's and Whataburger both use a fresh cracked egg and real quality sausage. It makes a big difference.

Can someone explain WAPT's story on a Rankin County woman with COVID19? If she tested positive and resides in Rankin, MSDH would report a positive case in Rankin. It makes me wonder if this is poor reporting on the part of WAPT or if this woman jumped the gun on telling people and actually tested negative.

I never knew Wendy's to have breakfast. What in the world do they serve. Popeyes, fifteen years ago, had the best breakfast in town and no tables for octogenarians (the discount coffee crowd) drooling and pointing at women.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. We'll be like Europe soon enough. Shoot, in Germany they're stocking up on sausages and cheeses. It's a Wurst Käse scenario!

I went to a necessary doc appt. this morning. Was asked a lot of questions, particularly had I traveled in the last 14 days. Made me wonder. What about all of the physicians who have been on spring break with their families? Wouldn't they be needing to self quarantine too? Scary

12:54 can you please identify yourself with a sign or something On your person so I can identify you and keep my distance during this horrible pandemic! I bet you also thought Obama was coming for your guns too! lol

Let all the healthy people get it. Get over it. And move on.

How did I did I know I could come here for yet another hoax theory. Y’all are so dang dumb. Yes, influenza kills a lot of people, and we spend billions to fight it. It constantly evolves and evades a longterm vaccine, and it’s been a reality since time immemorial. It’s a horrible fact of life. Meanwhile the Corona virus is brand new, deadlier than the flu, and with no known treatments or vaccines. The hope is we can prevent it from being yet another horrible fact of life.

Have you ever seen a case of viral pneumonia? If you haven’t then shut up and keep your poorly informed opinion to yourself. There’s more to life than bidness and baby Jesus you dang morons.

Y'all realize if this goes more than two weeks, people will just not care and go back to work = Business as usual. Everyone do what you would normally do if you had the flu. Live, life, love. Just please calm down.

I'm proud that Rankin Rankin County has remained virus free. This is probably attributed to our prayer and devotion.

@march 18 @12:54

Right now H1N1 comparable deaths as of day 68, global, not US:

H1N1 Deaths: 263
COVID19 Deaths: 7969

But it’s “just the flu”

Might want to check those stats. The link below is from the CDC and is only for the US.

Rankin County, if only you knew.

McDonald’s has fresh eggs, as well. All you gotta do is ask for them. Pretty good stuff. I’ve never had breakfast from Wendy’s, so I can make a comparison.

Next week it will be 300, maybe then People will understand. It was never a hoax,it's not going to be contained and we are totally unprepared.

These numbers are either low, or they are more than 24hrs late on posting results.

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.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
