State Gets First Coronavirus Case

The Mississippi State Department of  Health issued the following statement.


Tonight the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reports its first presumptive positive case of coronavirus or COVID-19. Final verification will come from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The individual is a Forrest county adult male who recently traveled to Florida. After confirmation by the Mississippi State Department of Health’s Public Health Laboratory, the patient voluntarily isolated himself at home to prevent further transmission to others. The patient was not hospitalized.

The Mississippi State Department of Health is conducting further investigation to limit spread
of the virus from this case.

Governor Tate Reeves is fully aware of the situation and remains in close contact with the
State Health Officer for all elements of COVID-19 response.

State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs will release additional information and guidelines to
Mississippians at an 11:00 press conference tomorrow morning.

Not exactly “breaking news” when MDE emailed this info out last Friday. I’ve been quietly waiting to see when it would finally hit the news.

I want to say I’m shocked it took this long, but I trust no one so my expectancy is low.

So many questions left on the table.

What part of Florida?
How old is the patient?
When did he travel?
When was he tested?
When did he feel sick?
What were his symptoms?
Has the state been in contact with those he exposed to the virus?
Forest County...all of those beach trip folks moving through there right now.
What made him suspicious it was covid vs allergy junk thanks to all of the pollen?
And how in the hell did those 50 folks from USM travel to South Korea and not get it?

Listen wise President Trump. This is a hoax invented by the Chinese to hurt him. Just because a few people have died — all of them old by the way, trust our national leaders on this. Trump has a knack for this stuff and isn’t afraid of any thing.

Could someone in Jackson have the courage to follow the greatest president in our history and pass the first state travel ban? Before you lawyers tell me it can’t happen, I hired some of you boys and before the court could hear it, the virus would be over. If you want to travel outside the state, u have to be quarantine on ur own dollar for two weeks, then you can go home. Dumbasses getting on jets. Haley would have done it, and Kirk fordice should as hell would. We send the head of the committee to prevent the virus to dc so he will probably get it. Idiots. They don’t have FaceTime in Jackson? The virus won’t kill us. Stupidity will.

"Governor Tate Reeves is fully aware of the situation"

I'm fully aware of the situation too.
In the mean time, I'm in contact with my wife about leftovers in the fridge.

One must make plans for that 2:30 a.m snack.

Did anyone else hear Kim Wade get utterly BTFO on his own show today? I felt bad for him.

If they quarantined him at home, he doesn't sound very sick to me.

This is a know no5hing press release. WTF is Tater Tot going to do with the information? I mean really? He’s a damn bank teller. Waste of paper.

Don't feel sorry for Kim Wade. He has a thick skin and has exponentially more influence than you do @9:53 PM.

If you need to feel sorry for someone, then feel sorry for Fat Melvin who flat out can't get out of his own stupid way.

You fox pnews sycophants need to turn the dial away from that deadly misinformation

This virus can kill you

This virus can cause you weeks of pain like you are drowning WITH medical attention

You will likely NOT have medical attention

Stay inside now

Stfu about politics

Congress should pass a law requiring all illegal aliens crossing the border from Mexico to be tested for Corona virus. The National testing station for illegals is in the sanctuary city of San Francisco.

This is really going to thin the heard. Most at risk are:

Prisoners
Fatties
Drunks
Smokers/vapers
Diabetics
Selfish boomers
Asthmatics
Diseased sexual degenerates

8:19 - I hope you meant to say your 'expectations' are low, not your 'expectancy', especially if your talking about your life.

Meanwhile, get in line early for the opening day of COSTCO. If you hurry, you can congregate with 1022 others before the gate opens. Masks will go quickly.

I guess my comment about fatties and diseased sexual degenerates was too accurate to get approved lol

@8:02
I already have a full face respirator and an NBC suit so I ain't skeered. When is the Costco opening? My local walmart ran out of potted meat and wolf brand chili last week.

10:54 must be a very sad individual.

Seems that person does not like to think, smile . . . or laugh out loud.

10:43 pm and 7:43 am Those with your ignorance and self-centered attitudes will be the reason the virus will be hard to contain in the U.S.

10:43 pm Hospitals are trying to reserve their beds and ICUs and supplies for the 20% who will get the deadly form of pneumonia this virus can cause.. You should know that if you are paying attention.

Both of you fail to " get" that the symptoms can initially be so mild that you don't know whether you have a mild case of the flu or coronavirus. ONLY a test will identify your symptoms. This requires you to know what the mild symptoms are and isolate yourselves.

I

10:43 pm You can't limit who you infect to those you don't like. There have been children and young people in that 20% of those having a serious case. Not every person under 60 knows whether or not they have an "underlying" condition. An "underlying" condition may not have developed enough to be diagnosed.

Sadly, we can't cure stupid but ignorance can sure be spread and you both have managed to stay ignorant despite the fact that both of you could have taken the time to try to educated yourselves.

I was gonna say you people need to get your info from reliable sources not state run tv(fox), but you’ve already been brainwashed so just consider this statement more fake news

This will be over in November said...

Kim Wade.

LOL !

He's one of the voices of reason this week.

BTW, he did ask a great question . . . if this "virus" is so bad, what's being done to quarantine the homeless and illegals ?

5:45am is typical of the hypocrisy of the left on perfect display, and I am sure they are completely oblivious to it. Hurls political insult...lectures like they have knowledge...tells us how to live our life...then tells us to keep politics out of it to wrongfully feel absolution from the insult they started the whole conversation with. Good grief I hate these people. They are so smug it is sickening. And they are so often wrong. I'm still waiting for all the global warming bullshit that was supposed to happen by now, and for so many other things too numerous to list. They have been proven wrong by nearly every single factual result of their policies over time for the poor fools who give them power, with the extreme examples of socialism and communism resulting in untold misery and death.

They just simply don't live in reality. And this person is a shining example of it....completely oblivious to their own immediate reaction to hurl a political insult...doesn't really know what the hell they are talking about and has fallen for propaganda ("this virus can kill you"). No shit. So can about 1000 other things every single day, many with exponentially higher odds. This one has a 1% mortality rate at the moment that is literally falling by the second.

As I keep saying....this is exactly why Trump is president and why he will win no matter what they try to stick to him. They just won't stop.

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.

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.
