The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 703 new cases of the
Wuhan virus yesterday as well as 44 new deaths. The total number of
cases
is 33,591. The virus has caused 1,204 deaths. Nursing home deaths
comprise 48% of overall Covid-19 deaths in Mississippi. There are 22,167 recoveries. More information and a complete list of
infected counties can be found at the MSDH website. The Rt factor is 1.22.
Hospitalizations surged to 686 cases while ICUs and vents remained at record highs.
The transmission factor continues to unfortunately be a reliable indicator. Missisisppi's Rt value ranked ninth today. Rt data of 50 states.

Obligatory Covidiots in 3...2...1...
Go, ahead, dummies... call it a "Nothingburger".
Where are those assholes now?
Gabby Goobert on Supertalk today indicated the governor is pissed and is fixin' to impose some Machiavellian sanctions and controls. Y'all better hurry and get some haircuts and nails clipped.
I don't trust this data, especially the fatality numbers.
This is very bad. Hospitalizations continue to set records. Deaths are rising pretty quickly. Only 40% of the last month's deaths are nursing home residents, the dying are more and more in the general community. And this isn't from the 4th of July gatherings either, those people would just now be getting sick initially. Look for even worse to come over the next month as junior brings it back home to mom and grandma.
The Rt rate can be misleading. A state could have the absolute highest infection rate, but as long as it isn't getting any worse the Rt would still be 1.0, while a state doing extremely well (like Hawaii for example) could have a relatively few number of new cases yet still have their Rt jump significantly. Hawaii's Rt is 1.32, but that is because their number of infections grew all the way to 41 yesterday. I would love to see us back down to that number.
What is more meaningful is the per capita number of infections and per capita deaths. Those reflect true numbers and not just a trend. The latest per capita infection rates I saw put Mississippi at seventh in the nation. Our death rate is third in the nation. If we are to ever get this disease under even average control we are going to need the Rt to be well below 1 for a while. I don't see that happening unless the governor grows a pair and mandates masks, shuts down bars and nightclubs, and bans all gatherings of more than 20 people. Yes, that means no sports until Spring at the earliest which is what other more responsible states are doing.
Bubba, Universal requires masks. Sorry to break the bad news.
Maybe you can stomp around Starbucks a protestin' yore imaginary right to sip overpriced coffee without wearing a mask inside, as they is a takin' away yore FreeDumb.
Dang commuh-nists!
@2:09 like most people, I only trust the data that echoes what I want.
It would be interesting to know the percentage of hospitalizations strictly due to COVID verses hospitalizations for other reasons, but patient the tested positive upon admittance for another issue.
"Socrates is in the game"
He is.
It took him four months, but he's in the game now.
Still never see about how many are actually ill. While Covid is real it is the state and world public affected is still less than 1% of the total population. If we are waiting for 100%, we will be here for quite a while.
A few days ago, Tater and Dr. Tonto claimed that their wheel and spokes of local hospitals had the need for Civid beds covered plus a Camp Shelby backup option. So where is all that now? These idiots have blown the time they had to implement Kingfish's idea of Covid specific beds somewhere to handle this surge.
5 largest hospitals have zero ICU beds
