Im a bug chaser so I have been trying hard to become infected. It really isn't easy to catch.

I'm glad they gave a good stern warning.

odd I don't know anyone who has this covid 19.

The word I have out of Lauderdale is, some of the nursing staff had the virus. Naturally, they spread it among the patients. My sister in law has an uncle, in one of the facilities, with the virus. He is a very tough individual, but I'm not sure he will beat this. He made the comment, that he was tired, and wanted to go home. May the Lord, send his ride.

No way does Hinds County have only 2 deaths.

@ 1:59, same here other than the usual, I know a guy who knows a guy type stuff. Sho Nuff, hope he does well. 1:32, thanks for that link. This would've never been said openly back when I was in. Damn, may as well leave the keys in the front door. Stay strong ya'll.

My husband, a physician made a Kroger run in Flowood this afternoon for our family. He wore his mask, gloves and goggles. He was astonished by the stupidity of the shoppers. He said that only 1/3 of shoppers were wearing masks. They were ignorant regarding social distancing. I cannot Understand the the thought process of these individuals. When he arrived at home, he immediately took a shower and sprayed down the clothing he wore. My husband, three children and I spent an hour disinfecting our groceries. Our family has been self quarantined for a month. It makes me angry that selfish individuals are putting others at risk. My rant. Happy Easter!🙏

5:16, stupidity? They are just waiting on the CDC to clarify that masks do no good for civilians just like they said 6 weeks ago. The only reason they suggest masks now is to keep you from biting your fingernails and picking your nose in a public place and then touching something. It’s not for your safety, it’s for everybody else’s. But thanks for wearing your mask.

have it delivered to your front door. I swear I have never eaten better, the belt was introduced to another hole. Now if our good Governor would lift the burn ban I could burn all these cardboard boxes stacked on my front porch.

@5:16 it's going to catch up with you sooner or later.

I’m amazed how many people in social media think coronavirus is not serious because it hasn’t affected someone they know (assuring they would be informed). For the past week, Covid-19 has been the #1 cause of death in the US.

Sho Nuff, may the Lord grant peace to you and you family.

5:16, I went the the Kroger in Madison on HWY 51 this afternoon. The vast majority of shoppers were wearing masks and most had gloves. I also noticed a large percentage of the cars in the parking lot had Hinds plates. Apparently, those of us who wish to take whatever precautions we can are gravitating to the same places. (I don’t live in Madison either).

I went to 55Kroger the other night. Decent crowd in there. All but a couple of whites wore mask and stayed away. Unfortunately, only a couple of black older women wore masks. The rest of them didn't wear masks nor made any effort to stay away from each other. Noticed the same pattern at Sams the next day. Totally anecdotal. I get it. BUT a friend of mine went shopping over at Westland and said most of the people wore masks but then when I asked about age, said it was an older crowd.

Of course, Kim Wade should always wear a mask, if nothing else, just to improve his looks.

Clinton Kroger is 75% masks. Color does not matter. But age does. Most older white and black folks wearing masks. Younger folks not.

Lauderdale epidemic has to be the nursing homes. Socializing has never crossed my mind when passing through Lauderdale county.

The Justice Department (DOJ) may take action next week against local governments that have cracked down on religious services as widespread parts of the country are shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, a DOJ spokesperson said Saturday.

“While social distancing policies are appropriate during this emergency, they must be applied evenhandedly [and] not single out religious [organizations],” DOJ Director of Communications Kerri Kupec tweeted.

She said the Attorney General William Barr is “monitoring” such regulations.

The DOJ move would come as some churches are standing up to city governments that have blocked them from holding in-person services during the outbreak -- even in "drive-in" formats that keep people separated and in their own cars.

A judge in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of Mayor Greg Fischer’s ban on drive-in church services there.

“The Mayor’s decision is stunning,” District Judge Justin Walker, a former clerk to Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, wrote in a memorandum to the order. “And it is, ‘beyond all reason,’ unconstitutional.”

Freedom of religion is the first of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” its text begins.

Separately, in Greenville, Miss., two churches have said that police came to their drive-in services and threatened to fine worshipers.

“Churches are strongly encouraged to hold services via Facebook Live, Zoom, Free Conference Call, and any and all other social media, streaming and telephonic platforms,” Mayor Errick Simmons’ office said in an April 7 press release announcing a ban on in-person and drive-in church services.
Attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom have filed a lawsuit challenging that order on behalf of the Temple Baptist Church in Greenville.

Kelly Shackelford, president of the First Liberty Institute, argued in an appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Friday that the city’s order “is just massively unconstitutional.”

“It targets churches in a way that it targets no other group,” he said. “Cars in parking lots are fine. It’s only a crime if the cars in the parking lot are at the church parking lot.”

The virus is highly contagious, and authorities at various levels of government around the country have been urging social distancing guidelines or implementing stay-at-home restrictions in an attempt to slow the spread.

Americans are being told to avoid close contact with one another, maintain good hand-washing hygiene and avoid leaving their homes as much as possible.

There were more than 500,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. as of Saturday afternoon and at least 20,000 deaths.

I don't know if most of the cases in Lauderdale are Nursing Homes, but that is the rumour.

But having a relative in a Meridian Nursing Home for 4 weeks in October 2019, here is what I can tell you.

The Nursing Home I had experience with, had immense turnover, with some Nurses driving from above Starkville to work weekend shifts. The CNAs I spoke with were working at multiple Nursing homes, even in other counties. The Hospice employees were going from facility to facility and to patients at home. Some Nurses and CNAs were also working home health part time.

So if only 5 of those healthcare workers went to New Orleans for Mardi G, and were contracted COVID-19, when they returned, the amount of people they could expose would be exponential.

This may be apples to oranges, but there was a FOX News article about a town in possibly Norway. Their initial testing showed an infection rate of 5%. But as more tests became available, a much larger amount of the towns population was tested, and the infection rate was 15%. Many didn't know they had it.

Another report indicates there could be as many as 8 different strains that have mutated globally, some not as severe as others.

Enforcing social distancing can be dangerous. In Wisconsin A MD and her husband in their 50s had an adopted daughter in her teens. The mother had underlying medical conditions and they allowed their daughter's boyfriend who was in foster care to move in and self quarantine.

But the kids wouldn't stay home, so the parents rented an Airbnb for 2 weeks for the 2 teens. Apparently they didn't like being kicked out of the 600k house, and the boyfriend and another thug used the parents Volkswagen van to kidnap the parents and execute them in a ditch.

To be fair, this may not have been completely about self quarantine, as one of the girls friends told police that she overheard the daughter telling her boyfriend that her parents had stacks of banded 1000s, and they could be rich pretty easily.

First of all it's Zerohedge, so there's that. For those unfamiliar, Zerohedge makes Fox, CNN, etc. look like the NEJM.

In any case, putting COVID-19 as the cause of death in all cases where it was diagnosed makes sense. When this thing settles down a bit and researchers can begin to, well, research, they need to be able to find all the presumptive/possible COVID deaths. If the cert says anything other than COVID, it won't be considered. As patient files are studied, researchers can categorize deaths more fully, but for now, think of it as "get the information down and sort/analyze it at a more appropriate time." In any case, death certificates almost always list a presumed/assumed cause of death rather than a in-depth list of factors based upon autopsy, a battery of tests, etc., because in most cases, none of that is done. Granted, there may be a very limited few patients, such as those on the verge of dying from another cause, who contract COVID, die, and whose certs could plausibly list some other cause, but if the other cause was listed rather than COVID, there is just as much chance the other cause is wrong because it is just a different presumptive cause _and_ COVID researchers will never even look at it.

It's bad enough when people assign conspiracy to that which is better explained by stupidity, but when people assign conspiracy to that which is easily explained as appropriate practice, they are putting on a dunce cap over their tin-foil hats.

Lastly, as an aside, I wonder if people actually consider just how foolish they sound when they say things like, "I'm no doctor/lawyer and I have no medical/legal education or experience, but here's some highly complex medical/legal advice..." If you were a plumber (or mechanic or carpenter or...) on a job and the person who hired you for your expertise came up and said, "I don't anything about plumbing (or repairing cars or building houses or...), so we called you, but I don't think you are doing that right...," how would you feel?

I wear my P100 out because if I’m asymptomatic it gives the hardcore appearance I’m protecting myself or others.

Posts have taken a decidedly bizarre turn. Must be tainted Easter eggs.

Zerohedge combines interesting hard to find finance info with crackpot political conspiracy theories that are probably written by foreign adversaries trying to sow political discord.

Thanks for not providing any of your own caveats though your whole comment is itself nothing more than an appeal to a level of anonymous expertise.

"... so there's that."

@8:41, you people are as predictable as a clock. If it doesn't fit your personal view, it has to be a silly conspiracy theory. Has it ever occurred to you, that all conspiracy suspicion is a theory until proven, or disproved? I never mentioned a conspiracy. I simply linked a different point of view, but with people like you, that is anathema. How, can we find the truth, unless, we consider all points of view? Could it be, the truth isn't important with your kind? Did you read the CDC directive? If you did read the directive, you conveniently overlooked the instruction to assume the virus was the cause of death without verification. That, sir, isn't a conspiracy theory, that is an outright lie. Why would deception be needed by an agency of the government? This deception would lead to an inflated number of deaths, which in turn, would lead to excess panic, and paranoia. From where I sit, it appears to me, there has been and continues to be a concerted effort to exacerbate the problem. Call me silly, but I become skeptical when someone attempts to deceive me. One final question, is the truth important? I, say yes.

@10:08, yes, that must be right. Very clever of the foreign adversaries to send the CDC directive throughout the country. It was most definitely a crackpot idea to post the directive, where someone could read for themselves. To have a doctor, who has been filling out death certificates for over 30 years, explain how the deception was implemented, was surely a crackpot idea. We, also, don't want to forget, that said doctor was disqualified by @8:41. Seeing as she had no expertise. Are you people for real?
