Mayor Orders Curfew, Mandatory Masks

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is holding a press conference right now on the Covid-19 response.  It is streamed below.


* Mayor said the infection rate and death rate are among lowest for cities of similar size.

* Mayor says Governor's order opening up businesses in surrounding burbs forced his hand. He likened Jackson to an island, saying it could do little to prevent Jackson residents from visiting the burbs and returning to Jackson.

* Jackson is now under a masking order in businesses. Businesses are limited to 5 customers per 1,000 square feet (He misspoke and said 5 per square foot). POS registers must be 6 feet apart. (Um, registers are Kroger and Corner aren't six feet apart.).

* Use 1-way aisle markers.

* Conduct daily temperature checks of employees.

* Customers must wear masks when not seated at a table.

* Restaurants and bars must close at 10 PM.

* Self-service drink stations, buffet tables, and similar items are prohibited.

* Auditoriums, theatres, and similar venues must remain closed.

* Order will be posted Thursday on Jackson's website.

* A curfew of 11 PM to 5 AM is instituted.

Every level of response has been idiotic. From the feds down to the locals. The BEST response would have been no response.

Jaxson Karens' dreams have come true.

Curfews and mandatory masks 2 months after

He's going to have every sovereign citizen that thinks any public order is tyranny defying his order (and common decency) by deliberately congregating in large crowds with their guns on display. Some people seem to want to cause as much harm as possible just to prove they can't be told what to do, just like a bunch of 5-year-old kids throwing a tantrum when mommy won't let them have a cookie before supper.

How do you eat and drink in a mask? “Wannabe autocrat”.

Madison county and Rankin county business owners just nominated Ladumba for the man of the year award.

Make sure you wear the mask all day everyday until you get respiratory infections. Create your own Covid 19 sickness.

Also, touch everything you can while wearing gloves, then buy a bag of chips and eat it with your gloves on. It's ok, your hands will be clean.


DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE FREEDUMB PEOPLE. Trust us! Chokwe mayor for life!

Can people be arrested for not wearing a mask? Can they be ticketed? I smell a new revenue stream

Well, I’m sure all the folks shooting each other will put down their arms at 11pm, go home, and pick things back up at 5am while wearing a mask. We’re all safe now. Thanks Antard “I touched my mask and face 50 times during the press conference” Ladumba.

To those who think wearing a mask is an unconstitutional infringement, why don't they carry their logic all the way and refuse to wear any clothes? They're always the first to complain that the government isn't doing anything about saggy pants.

@2:03pm - You do realize the vast majority of “adult” Mississippians have the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old. Of course they’re going to “rebel against the government tyranny.” Mah Freedumbs! While they infect everyone with Covid and their stupid conspiracy theories.

Since Jackson is limited to 5 customers per square foot, I guess my 200 square foot conference room is limited to 1000 of my clients at any one time. Will have to remove the conference table and chairs to comply, I suppose.

Five customers per square foot. That would be cozy.

Close by 10:00 PM because that is when the 'rona wakes up, apparently.

Mayor flap jaw must be back from his Bloomberg funded anti-gun/anti-2A indoctrination, i.e. "leadership" by tyranny.

My initial reaction after reading this manifesto was to check and see if this is April fools day!

Point of Service registers must be 6 feet apart. If the physical registers are closer to 6ft, they must simply close the lane that's too close. At that point a register that's not operational it is no longer a POS register, it's a closed register.

Go to Kroger right now (run!), the self-service registers have had every-other register closed, this way people aren't right on top of each other.

It's going to be okay, everyone, we can handle this.

"US officials including Surgeon General Jerome Adams and Vice President Mike Pence have urged people against buying and wearing masks to protect themselves from the new coronavirus. "You can increase your risk of getting it by wearing a mask if you are not a health care provider," Adams said. "Folks who don't know how to wear them properly tend to touch their faces a lot and actually can increase the spread of coronavirus," he added."

"The CDC only recommends masks for select groups of people: Those in a region currently experiencing an outbreak, healthcare workers treating coronavirus patients, and anyone who experiences flu-like symptoms."

"The World Health Organization joined TikTok last week to provide accurate information about COVID-19. In one of two videos posted, it explained most people should not wear masks and provided instructions for how to properly wear one."

"The only people who need masks are those who are already infected to keep from exposing others. The masks sold at drugstores aren't even good enough to truly protect anyone." Fauci said.
"If you look at the masks that you buy in a drug store, the leakage around that doesn't really do much to protect you," he said.

CDC - "We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed infection, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility"

Lol you just can't win with you people. You want to open up, the city is opening up. A few percatuions to take, and now that's too much. Y'all want it one way, and it's the other. I know, we are a "radical" city. Again, say what you want but a majority of y'all are acting like children about some of these things.

from @MaxKennerly on Twitter:

The CDC report is terrifying. One symptomatic person attended a 2.5-hour choir practice with 60 other people.

32 confirmed and 20 probable secondary cases. 3 hospitalized, 2 dead.

3:55 you are exactly right! jackson can't win if they open up or if it stays closed...

anyway--i think the point is that we want everything to be open like it used to be. Want to know how Austria, South Korea, China have not only flattened their curve, but have a great handle on things...mask wearing in public. Yes-its required in those places. We're too "cool" or too 'free' to be forced to wear something that will really, really help us get rid of this, or limit it so that we can get back to 'normal'.


we never think of others. always ourselves. masks in public would help. dont care. just me.

3:50, puhleeeze. I know that doctors used leeches in 1776 on you, but things evolve. Here to counter your drivel is current guidance:

CDC on Homemade Cloth Face Coverings

CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.

CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.

And, why "voluntary?" Because CDC is Federal and not an enforcement agency.

A, why did CDC change guidance: Asymptomatic transmission.

B, why did they initially advise against masks? Because, like with hand sanitizer and every other item of PPE, some folks HOARDED it, some folks GOUGED others, and hospitals were short of supplies. That's changed. You can buy a mask at Kroger. They work - TO PROTECT OTHERS mainly.

C, for further questions and contrasting facts to your FreeDumb anti science post, folks can go to https://hub.jhu.edu/2020/04/24/covid-19-mask-glove-use/

That's Johns Hopkins for you who want to read something not off a Derp website.

Patriots show responsibility for others. Patriots wear masks. Not skeleton masks while toting toy guns. Be responsible for someone besides yourself.

All I got out out his latest "order" was that now "face coverings" are required . . . (not masks).

According to hiz' honor, not everyone has enough money to afford a mask.

WTF ?

That reminds me of the old bawdy poem.

" Back in the days of old,
When Kings were Kings and knights were bold.

Birth control was not invented.

So they wrapped a sock around their C#ck,
And babies were prevented. "

@4:01p- Besides the fact that this is from MARCH, I've copied and pasted a DIRECT STATEMENT FROM THE ARTICLE:

"All three hospitalized patients had two or more underlying medical conditions."

Realistically, they could have just as easily been killed in a car crash OR died from one of their underlying conditions. Those that were exposed and survived are actually better off than those of us cooped up at home with NO IMMUNITY to this virus.

So what exactly was the point of you sharing this old article?

Mark Jordan needs to put back up his billboard on I-55 North that said "Last One Out Turn Out The Lights". Only a damn fool would invest any money in a city with this "leadership" and judicial system.

Well, if you live in the 7 counties with hotspots, Scott, Leake, Lauderdale, etc, the GUV is nowrequiring masks for customers in retail, too. And, he's right.

FYI The CDC and Surgeon General now recommend wearing masks. The guidance on not wearing masks was from early March.

Not to worry, no one else in the capitol city is listening to him either.

BTW, don't look for the local news report ( WAPT or WLBT ) that exposed a group of around 100 having a block party last weekend.

It's since been removed by all parties.

1) the CDC report came out today

2) “preexisting conditions” includes high blood pressure, obesity, & other common conditions that are rife in MS

was your reax to 9/11 “meh, some of them woulda died in car crashes”?

He's not the only one who wishes he could figure out how to do that. He's a brilliant man, his time is running short, and I hope he can figure it out soon.

When you read the WHO narrative about masks, it makes you wonder why we are being forced to wear them.

@5:19p- It may have come out today but it's trying to scare people with a 2 month old case.

All those afflicted Mississippians can put down the sugar and fried food any time they'd like and see their health improve significantly. They CHOOSE their lifestyle!!! Therefore, they must live, or die, with/by the consequences.

Despite your effort to compare this virus to 9/11, you failed. The pause in daily activity was NOTHING compared to the lockdowns we are experiencing. Heck, I didn't even get to leave work that day, much less see businesses crumble because of shelter-in-place orders. Not to mention, 9/11 was the handiwork of extreme terrorists... COVID-19 is a manipulative attempt to control masses. The major players give it away... Gates and Fauci are some twisted mo-fo's.

By July 4th he will be saying I told you so. If you at least try to practice social distancing and washing your hands. Then maybe we can rob him of the opportunity and help protect each other as well.

I thought the mayor called a press conference to send all the masks in Jackson to China a few months back, right?

Hey ludumba... I've yet to see you wear a mask. I'm a few houses down from you. By the way good luck enforcing that rule you minion of a man. Come see me to inform me if I'm not wearing a mask. I usually take it off when not operating... you obviously have low self esteem yo take such matters up like this one just to insert your rules.

"Well, I’m sure all the folks shooting each other will put down their arms at 11pm, go home, and pick things back up at 5am while wearing a mask". It will not work any better than Canton's 9pm-5am curfew has. Still having crime with the ubiquitous shootings and assaults. Truly put the curfew in place at the beginning of the SIP order and hasn't lifted it as of yet.

5:02 PM... I think that Mark's sign also said: Get out of town while the getting is good.

Ummm, nope. The mayor won't dictate to me what I shall/shall not wear, and when I can move about freely.

I'll be happy to be a test case, I have better lawyers than the city, and definitely more money... Bring it baby Chok!

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.
