32 deaths with an asterisk but no explanation for that asterisk. Guess we’ll have to wait for Dr. Dobbs to say how many are from prior weeks.

Numbers go up and down, but the trend is up. Maybe this is the start of a downward trend, but it will take a week before you can say so with any reliability.

“Pay attention this chart as it's the most important one for the experts. Hospitalizations fell by 25 cases yesterday while ICU's dropped by 20 cases.”

Hospitalizations and Vents decreased because of deaths, right?

Tuesday must have been a slow test day.

So five old deaths and 27 new. That’s a record. So yeah @2:40 it is likely the drop in hospitalizations and ICU is from deaths and doesn’t reflect any decrease in the infection rate.

Life is worth less than money. I'm sure it says that somewhere in the Christian Bible. So keep it up!

ummm.... I'm no chart rocket surgeon but it appears that hospitalizations have plateaued since about april 25th

both confirmed and suspected

Single day totals are relatively useless KF especially when the data is questionable. To steal a line from Cuomo, 3 day averaged totals are better indicators.

@3:52 is the definition of a fascist who would silence all dissent and demand a single voice, the voice of the corporation. You see, fascism is defined as the unity of corporations and the state.

Let's see...374 divided by 2,980,000 is a staggering .0125% of the Mississippi population that has succumbed to The Wuhan Fauci Flu. What a crock. Anyone have a percentage of deaths from "lead poisoning" in Jackistan over the same period?

Anonymous said...

@4:45 That’s so far. Maybe 2% of Mississippians have gotten the disease. That’s about 60,000. 374/60,000 is a 0.6% mortality rate. Now take that to the 2,100,000 people who will get infected to achieve herd immunity if there is no mitigation before a vaccine is developed and you’ll see the expected deaths will be 12,600 of our citizens. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if that is an acceptable number of sacrifices, but at least it won’t be based on misleading numbers.

Math is easy said...

4:45 YES, that's an easy equation. You could have done it too, but you knew if you did and used it, your attempt to make a snideass point would be lost.

The answer is: 0.00005454%

5:13 pm, how do you know the number of people who have gotten the virus?
They don't check all of the people. You have to be sick to be tested.
How about all of the people who have never been tested?

When Mississippi's mothers and grandmothers see the videos of young children suffering from Kawasaki syndrome due to contracting this virus a turn in public opinion will likely occur. Quite a few bad a$$es who refuse to wear masks might be looking for one that fits and looks good with their camo shirts soon.

Anonymous said...

@5:29 I going by https://covid19-projections.com/us-ms which shows an estimated 1.9% rate. That is also in line with the 8,424 confirmed cases and adjusting for asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic individuals who didn’t get tested.

5:17. You're right, There was no need for the Jackistan comment. Ive actually been isolated since February, Im embarrassed at the amount of money Ive spent on vitamins and supplements, I didn't have to seek any N95 masks, I already had plenty, along with several months supply of freeze dried foods, See, I'm aware of, for example, liberal Professors like Texas's Eric Pianca, who have given speeches advocating the desire for a killer virus to eradicate 90% of humanity to save Earth and then receiving awards for his ideas and standing ovations from his audiences. I'm aware of the Prince who wanted to return after death as a killer virus to eradicate humans. Im aware that the unelected monopolist and eugenicist, whose father was a eugencist, Bill Gates, who wants to use vaccines to reduce population. So, yeah, I was scared and remain cautious. Ill continue to wear my mask and use my hand sanitizer, but this shutdown of the nations cirulatory system over a virus that's obviously highly contagious, but not very deadly, amounts to running from coronavirus straight into a hurricane. So stay home all you want. May God bless and protect you, but Im done.

@9:19 seek help you sound schizo you might need medication and have your firearms removed for our safety.
Perfect example why we need red flag confiscation

"Bill Gates, who wants to use vaccines to reduce population."

Since when has any vaccine reduced any population?

2:40 pm You lack the ability to understand this epidemic so please stop posting!

Deaths go down as more people seek medical intervention earlier.

What you want to see in an epidemic is number of cases go down because those diagnosed are isolating themselves.

Of course, our Covididiots , like you, will make sure they will infect as many people as they can even if they know they have it.

I now understand why Ole Miss was unable to qualify for a Phi Beta Kappa Chapter until 2001 and the other universities and colleges can't qualify. It had to be the science, math, philosophy and logic courses that couldn't meet the standards.

When the virus really starts spreading here (and it will with the "opening" including restaurants and casinos) I see us only having half the fatalities that New York City had. So I think 2,500 Mississippians will die. Since we aren't to 400 yet, stay in your home if you are elderly. No one is looking out for you. Not the state health officer or the governor. You have no protection. There is no treatment. (Remdesivir may lessen your symptoms if you live.) Stay safe and hope that treatments will be found. Don't go to the salon. Don't go to the doctor unless something is really emergent.

Has Fox News been able to push the seemingly likely association with Kawasaki syndrome and Covid-19 into their "ignore" file?

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.
