Release the long term care facility name and location! Oh, I forgot, this is Mississippi, home of the good ole boy network.

.00017 mortality rate in Mississippi so far.

The yearly mortality rate is .0087 average.

Hey good ole boy idiot. Same reason they don't release the names of individuals who die from the disease. Get a clue.

Hey 2:35,

Actually it's not the same reason. You can't claim HIPAA as a reason not to release nursing home cases where there is more than one person who's tested positive. Several other states release this info, yet we still don't. It's because they don't want to cause a panic.

Unfortunately, though, that's not a reason to withhold records under the state's public records act.

I’ll check the private rooms at Shapleys said...

Who is the lobbyist for nursing homes? They have power and deep pockets apparently.

Wait till Tate opens the government again and every one shows up at Public Safety for drives license. That will be something to witness.

Infections are not rising. Testing is. Tens of thousands had it and thought is was a light cold.

Anonymous said...

Sunday had the highest number of test in a single day. 422k. And one of the lowest positive numbers. 21k. Includes 56 State's and Territories.

Madison county is out of control. Maybe they need to go on lockdown.

Testing is rising and numbers will go up, of course but I don't think as many people have had it as people assume. Yes, millions have had it just because of the million confirmed cases we have that didn't slip through the cracks but there are 328 million Americans and if I had to guess I would say less than 10 million have had Covid. Still a long ways to go and I think it's gonna get bad.

Would imagine Madison county has those numbers because of Nursing homes and the amount of health care workers that live in then county.

Anonymous said...

By the numbers provided Hinds is also out of control. Is this due to county and Jackson or separate?

Anonymous said...

I live in Madison the City, and I do not know anyone who has tested positive, nor do any of my friends know of anyone who has tested positive. Isn't it time to start breaking the numbers down by voting precinct so citizens can know exactly where the infection is circulating? That would be useful information. Telling me daily overall infection rates and deaths no longer tells me anything, nor does the white/black ratio. What does that tell us? We are all human.

1:31 am Your math is likely faulty on the number of cases just based on the data from countries with more testing.

But, I will agree with you that in 3 weeks ,there will be a resurgence with the pre-mature openings, especially the ones with few restrictions or adequate guidelines.

The resurgence now might not be quite as bad if the heat and sun keep it from living in the air as long as it can now. Its the resurgence in Oct.

People in the Middle Ages were better at social distancing and wearing masks than we are.

Lock the state back down. (Not cause the covid; it’s just that the same dupes who put on a bubble suit and hide in their houses are coincidentally the same people that cause traffic problems)

Calm Down said...

If the wuflu is as deadly and infectious as some here proclaim, and our answer to the problem is lockdown and masks, this country is over, cause a large enough percentage will not comply, and an equally large number will attempt to comply, but fail at it miserable (see Chris Cuomo break out of his basement while infected).

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.

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.
