Good to see Madison outpacing Hinds. Will cut down on the troll posts.

Well. Of course the numbers are up. Memorial Day tomfoolery, then those pointless, ranting, group-hug change-the-world-NOW mass riots, with people breathing all over each other...yes, the virus is chuckling quietly, and working its will “without haste yet without rest,” as Goethe said. The worst is yet to come.

COVID has now killed one out of every 1,000 people who live in Lauderdale County. Since Hinds County has only had a tenth of that (per capita), I suspect things are just beginning here. ICUs and vent use is up here now too. Will be a long June and July for the "it's just the flu" crowd.

Is Covid-19 still a thing?

Hey Kingfish, do you know where a guy can get some 9mm ammo for a reasonable price? It's an 8 week wait for $0.25 a round on ammoseek.com and sgammo.com is all sold out.

Something tells me we are about to experience somerhing far worse that Covid-19 and looting basketball shoes.

Looks like the start of the after Memorial Day surge. If this continues the governor won't have any choice but to keep large gatherings down. Say goodbye to college football season.

Kingfish said...

Yup. Email me.

The biggest disappointment has been the medical community. Instead of just saying we don't know a lot about a new disease they have been guessing and theorizing about how to handle it. Not a knock on scientists just lots of unknowns.. Also at some point can we STOP the stupid back and forth between Hinds and Madison.

1106 so how would you handle the disease in your infinite wisdom? Guess what jack wagon, every disease was new at one point and you know what, people had to guess and theorize how to deal with each one.

Green Acres said...

11:06 is clueless. Probably a Fox News watcher. Darwin was correct about survival of the fittest. People who deny the seriousness of COVID-19 as a disease and its extraordinary ability to spread through respiratory droplets will die off first. Or have limbs amputated due to C-19 blood clots, or develop permanent lung scarring, or who knows what side effects, because we are still learning about this virus and how to treat it. The rest of us will continue to wash our hands, wear masks and avoid large crowds while we enjoy life and health.

this is just the memorial day bump. we have another week until the protest bump.

Note to Kingfish....nobody cares about these reported numbers. It's a fact they're being cooked (i.e. bundling of diagnoses) for more federal money.

Had relative in hospital for non-Covid related illness. She was tested 3 times over the course of a week and then also tested for anti-bodies. All were negative. Before her discharge she was beginning to believe the hospital was being incented to test rather than using an abundance of caution.

@7:02 AM @12:20 AM

11:06 makes a valid point. Out "experts" have been all over the map and usually wrong. A dose of humility on their part would be welcome. I'm guessing that humility is not a selling point for them trying to get booked on the 24x7 news. One can't help but notice the difference in how the protesters were described over Memorial Day and over the police protests. One group is 'killing grandma' and the other is 'mostly peaceful and understandable'. Maybe you'll be proven correct 'in two more weeks' and we'll all be dead. If so, remember me fondly.

Yes incentive to test not just MAKING SURE SHE DIDN'T CONTRACT THE VIRUS. The lengths some of you morons will go to in order to fit facts into your narrative, ignoring plain reason, logic, and simple explanations, is astounding.

11:06 When faced with a new communicable disease that is killing some portion of those that it infects do you:

a) Do nothing and let it continue its natural course until you have irrefutable proof about its infection and mortality rate even if that means potentially millions will die during the process. Ignore any and all best practices because they might not be 100% effective.

b) Be conservative and put measures in place to contain the contagion as much as possible while you try to evaluate the disease's effect on the global population

If you picked a), congratulations, you are a model Mississippian.

How you respond to a new disease can drastically affect the number of people killed. Assume the worst and hope for the best is the way to go.

Hospital just trying to make a little more green off your relative, that's all. Thank God for Sheep ad the large closets they live in. This will never go away, will kill some more and then again won't kill everyone. People think they can hide or fake it out, but in the long run death comes a knocking regardless. Baaaahhhhhh

Let's hope the deaths and ICU rates don't increase when we run out of Remdesivir in 30 days or less.

Out of curiosity, is there a number of deaths or contagions that would convince you right fighters to take this seriously? Is it dependent only on you knowing a certain number of people who died and if so, how many?

You see guns as protection against humans that want to injure us but somehow don't get that " masks" are protection against a virus that wants to hurt and kill us. I really don't understand your disconnect. You won't let your children just randomly shoot guns, but you'll let them randomly expose humans to a deadly virus.

I suspect your neural pathways in the brain have a " short".

10:52 The only thing that might convince them to take it seriously is if pictures started coming out of UMMC with dying patients in the hallways and parking lots because there was absolutely no capacity to provide treatment for them. As long as the hospitals can house them until they die everything is perfectly fine.

Even then I doubt some of them would start doing things like wear a mask because somehow that is standing up to tyranny which is worse than death. I keep waiting to hear the quote "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" to justify all the old people being sacrificed. Of course its no big deal when it is someone else's blood being spilled as a result of your actions.

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.
