I'm sorry, but this is becoming a damn farce. 8 deaths?

New York crams people from all over the world into tiny tubes and saw a massive outbreak, so we made Jim Bob shut down his fruit stand on 49 and get on the government dole.

There have been a total of 465 covid deaths in Mississippi; 212 of which were nursing home deaths.
Mississippi averages approximately 3000 deaths per month.
In the past 2 1/2 months there have been about 7500 total deaths
in our state.
Of this roughly 7500 deaths, 253 were non nursing home covid deaths.
For every 1 of these 253 covid deaths, 30 Mississippians died from other causes.

I'd suggest if you have someone in the nursing home, to be sure they are getting Vitamin D each day.

It’s OK 12:51. With the throw-the-door-open way restrictions are being eliminated you’ll get your wish for more deaths. Particularly if college and high school football programs kick off in August.

@ 12:51......it has been a damn farce since day one in most parts of the country. I get that it's a bigger deal in the larger cities where folks are packed in like sardines, but here in 'rural' America, our way of life should not have been altered to the extent that it has been. Our nation's economy has been decimated unnecessarily, to the liking of Red China.

Thanks, 1:48. Really appreciate the encouragement.

I, like most people who've seen their businesses close, don't really care about rational cost-benefit analysis. We're all just hungry for as many dead old people as possible!

So whatever you do, don't tell old people that they're orders of magnitude more likely to die than anyone else, and that they could protect themselves without sabotaging their grandkids' futures by just staying home and letting others go to work.

Because then I couldn't have all the sweet, sweet elderly corpses I crave!

I'll be very surprised if you publish my last comment, Kingfish. I didn't realize the comment section was so heavily moderated in your favor until I actually tried to bring some opposition to your repeated use of the misnomer. Never once have you approved one of my comments. Hmm...

Calm Down said...

@2:18
I'm picking up some sarcasm in that reply.

Because it is going to get it's own post this week and I'm not going to answer it in a thread. Got it, Chairman Mao?

Of these 465 deaths, how many of those people would have most likely died this year anyway? Of cancer, diabetes or respiratory problems? The odds of a moderately healthy person dying from COVID 19 is incredibly low. Time to reopen the whole state!

Calm Down said...

@3:25
interesting link.

Anonymous said...

@3:40 For those with risk factors the estimated loss of years of life is 10 years. Some may have died this year, others with things like diabetes and high blood pressure that are controlled could have lived another 25-40 years.

Time to reopen the state in a controlled manner. It will be better for everyone if they know they can generally go about normal routines without fearing bringing the disease home to a spouse, parent, or grandparent who might be at risk. Sure, there are some who don't care one bit about others dying, but for a lot of citizens if they suddenly see cases spiraling out of control and people they know going into the hospital and/or dying they will stay home and cause an economic setback regardless if another lockdown is ordered.

It can be done in a safe and orderly manner if people will just use a little common sense and follow guidelines to minimize the spread of the disease.

It's very comforting having Need To Know News working the beat... you people follow the dumbest conspiracy theorists.

Hey 3:25, you might want to check out some legitimate numbers and lay off the nutter websites for a few months.

If it makes you feel any better, there are far fewer chemtrails out there now because of all the flight cancellations.

@4:30p- Please advise which completely unbiased (LOL) news sources YOU read?

Those of us who like to think for ourselves read multiple sources (less mainstream shit,more obscure sources), then research the data and info and decide for ourselves. Further, just because we lend thought or effort to certain information, DOESN'T mean we are following conspiracy theories.

For the record, "you people" is growing daily.

Anonymous said...

@3:25 I downloaded the data they used and saw something. First, the data they use is the first 16 weeks which would cover from January 1 - April 18 (or 21, depending on when the week starts). It doesn't go through April 30 like the article states.

Second, the initial death from COVID in the U.S. was on February 29. Nothing that happened before March 1 would be relevant.

Recalculating for the above adjustments shows an average of 55,541 deaths per week for 2016, 17, 18, and 19. The average number of deaths per week in 2020 is 60,396 which gives an excess of 4,855 per week for 7 weeks or a total of 33,985 as of April 18, 2020. Cumulative COVID deaths as of April 18 was 34,181. So you can see the reported COVID deaths is just about exactly equal to the calculated excess deaths.

Statistics are only as good as the context. By using 9 weeks of irrelevant numbers out of 16 total weeks they were able to manipulate the result to suit their preconceived notion.

5:15 pm - don't you understand? You used logic and relevant statistics, but the nutjobs that like to post these links on websites like this don't give a damn about using numbers with actual value (kinda like the comparison of the number of flu deaths a year compared to COVID, when the flu deaths cover 12 months and were being compared to two months of COVID.)

Your corrective calculations do give good meaning to the Need to Know News - even those that claim to read multiple sources (those other sources are generally as relevant and worthwhile.

Thanks for your clarifying the idiocy of the link; maybe some will read you comments during a time that they have temporarily removed their tin foil hats.

@5:15p & @6:06p-

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

Please review Table 2 from the CDC and notice HOW MANY states have LESS than normal percentages of deaths. (Footnote item #2 for your reference.) VERY FEW are experiencing higher than normal deaths. NYC (obviously) is the worst. You gotta wonder how many deaths in NYC were due to improper treatments and/or bad policies and procedures.

Regardless, we’ve destroyed the NATION’S economy and the livelihood of folks in all 50 states over a FEW hotspots. And, to make matters worse, these hotspots were only above average for a handful of weeks.

Anonymous said...

The virus is real.
I know three people that have died from it.
None fit the CDC guidelines.
All were under age 65.

But I also know 25 plus people that have lost their jobs FOREVER.

The damn "War Between the States" is not even a remote Comparison to this shit.

The American Revolution is a much better analogy.

MORE bad news for Fat Melvin.

Male coronavirus patients with low testosterone levels are MORE likely to die from COVID-19.

Anonymous said...

@7:59p- I never said the virus wasn’t real. On the flip side, I know 4 people that died this week and none of them were COVID-19 related deaths. I, too, know a number of people who have lost their jobs, and potentially, their businesses. The point is, the course of action taken didn’t “prevent” death. It accelerated loss of livelihood and business... but didn’t prevent death. Shutting ourselves down was not the right course of action. Keeping those most at risk at home would have been the correct course, and would have caused a lot less damage to many people.

And, who said anything about a war between states? It’s simply factual that all 50 states are paying a hefty price for the unfortunate situations in a few hot spots.

I am thankful none of you make decisions that affect me or my family.

With too few exceptions, those commenting above:

Think they know more than the National Academy of Scientists, the CDC and Johns Hopkins and all the top epidemiologists in the world to name a few.

One of you provides a link to an unreliable source of news that hasn't anywhere close to the resources of Reuters,the Associated Press or BBC and is more than likely one dude in his underwear in his basement. But, that is typical these days.

And, still the statistically inept don't seem to realize that CV 19 deaths are a new addition to the death totals and unlike the deaths they mention, is a highly contagious virus that is still mutating and causing surprising after effects.

Given my family medical history since the American Revolution, I should have a minimum of a decade more and most likely 2 decades. In those hundreds of years going back to every line and all their children back to 1690, only wars ( the most being the Civil War, none in the Revolutionary War or World Wars, Korea and Vietnam though the family members serving saw combat) one hunting accident and one car wreck( hit by a drunk driver) killed anyone. We have 3 causes of death, all related to aging.

So much for your "other causes of death" and you seem to think in a population of 300 million all families are at risk of all those kinds of death. Amazing.

So, some of you are hell bent to deprive me of seeing my grandchildren as adults and enjoying the fruits of my labor.You care about your livelihood but not that of my employees who will lose theirs if I die (and I'm paying them for no work right now as they are good loyal people and I want them safe). You invade my space, you don't wear masks.

You pretty much meet my definition of arrogantly ignorant selfish jerks.

You can get another job. You can't come back from the dead.

See the difference?

I realize it's scary to not have a job when you need one. Been there, done that after a move when young. Had relatives whose industry moved to Mexico. Many relatives talked about being out of work during the Depression.

Because they were good employees and hard workers, they eventually not only got jobs, but more than a few would call it a " blessing in disguise" as they got job with more opportunity to advance...and they did.

IF you have a business that was profitable but now in danger of folding, do NOT wait for the government. Call some of your loyal customers.

Put together a " portfolio" of your business. Decide how much of the profits you made could be used to pay back private investors. The amount doesn't have to be high as interest on money is low. Show them how you operated and how you will operate to pay them back.

Jeff Good started Bravo with private investors that he paid much earlier than anticipated and at higher than the interest rate they could get at the time.

I know it's seems a shocking idea, but once upon a time, most businesses depended on initial private investments. If you are good at what you do and have a good reputation for being smart and honest, people will take a chance on you.

But, you can't do anything if you are dead or permanently handicapped.

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.
