Covidiots in 3...2...1...
Your blog so your guidelines, but when you post things like "There are 19,388 recoveries" and "The Rt factor is 1.06," you are just plain old fashioned wrong. Both are rough calculations at best and bordering on nonsense at worst. They are not known numbers or calculations from known numbers. If you were to say that "MDH presumes there are X recoveries (with a footnoted explanation of what that means)" and "(rtlive or whatever site) estimates the R-number to be X, with a potential range of Y to Z" that would be accurate, and that is exactly what MDH, rtlive, etc. do.
What’s it going to take to get people to see the real danger of this spreading out of control? Will it take 50 deaths? 100? Pictures of patients struggling for breath in the halls once ICUs are full? These are the same type of people who try to ride a hurricane out on the coast. You can’t fix ignorance.
What do you suggest @6:11? Be specific.
6:11 what will it take? I think it will take some famous people getting covid and dying from it. What we have seen so far is that famous people say they have it, it's not severe, and that's it.
If someone high up in the Trump admin died, or a high level Mississippi politician, or a really famous entertainer, that might make a difference. Especially if we get video of them in the hospital, in full intubation.
Right now it seems like no one dies except people we never know. Other people.
The really interesting thing is that the no-mask, "open it all up!" crowd is forcing, via the increasing rate of infection/transmission, responsible governments to do exactly the opposite of what they want. If we had kept the numbers down by wearing masks, distancing, etc., and shown it was relatively safe to ease restrictions, responsible governments could have done just that. If we continue with the trend now showing, get ready for lockdown-plus. And much greater odds of a Biden presidency, a Dem Congress, and even more governmental restrictions on things totally unrelated to COVID-19.
This boogie man, along with the Salter and Crawford tripe, is getting old, dude. If you want to be the Clarion Lewinski maybe they have an opening for an experienced cut and paste artist on the dead beat. Stay original.
@6:11...maybe so. Or maybe if we had not been conditioned for millions of deaths we would be more concerned about 44. Or maybe if we didn’t have financial incentives for coronavirus positives or changed the way we categorize deaths to play 6 degrees of coronavirus In order to Vietnamize the body count. Riddle me this. If I am HIV positive and die of a stroke did I die of AIDs? No. If you are SARS-COV2 positive and die of anything or if you die with a cough, fever, anything respiratory wise you are a COVID-19 death...and we still have only 44 deaths today in MS.
Pappy out.
Yes Pappy! And did the department of health ever get its data fidelity issues rectified? Seems to me that if there is a financial motive to miscategorize an illness to increase reimbursement, don'tcha think a hospital that was prohibited from performing elective procedures and is financially struggling would cook the books a little....well, don'tcha?
Medicare pays out $35,000 for a Covid-19 patient, and pennies on the dollar for a coronary. Hmmm.
Lots of fuzzy math/statistics being presented.
The Rt will go up tomorrow. It’s based on the latest cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. Things were calm over the holiday weekend but now we’re seeing things pick back up substantially. Look for it to match the previous 1.26 after the last big spike to over 1,000 cases in a day about a week ago.
For those dismissing CV19 by arguing the death rate is low....
First of all, people who die of other causes are not in the count. This is an addition to the death rate in this State and the Nation.. Compare the number of deaths from anything else for an April to May period in MS and 6 month period in the US.
The experts agree that the new cases are young people who socialized in close contact and we will see more deaths as they spread it to those with underlying conditions.
Please note too that as Tom Hanks and his wife learned, few with CV 19 develop enough antibodies to become immune. They can get it again . They didn’t. The unanswered question is will a second case be more deadly ? Some people have continued to be positive with relapses for months.
There are still far too many unknowns. The virus has mutated. You can argue your intuitive thinking and anecdotal experiences and your bad math but it won’t change the fact that you are gambling against a virus that isn’t behaving like other viruses. And your lack of any sense of duty or personal responsibility to our Nation is so low that a mask and distance is too great a sacrifice for your community, State or Nation is glaring. You lack the imagination to know that we could be operating our economy with reasonable normalcy like the EU if you had been more responsible.
To Dr. Anonymous at 8:21. The Virus has mutated "some", but the disease is not more severe, per WHO. Still nothing to compare to the Swine Flu of 1918. This will reduce itself quickly over time. Sorry, no Armageddon, yet.

@8:21 for those arguing that you wearing a mask is to protect me from you, then you have reason to believe that you may have it. Why are you out and about with a mask on when you should be self isolating if you think you are a danger of spreading it to other people.
If you think you have it, wearing a mask is not enough, STFH!
You know, I'm really getting sick of the fact that Tate seems to want to copy Trump in blaming the pandemic on protestors and to politicize the pandemic. Big mistate Tate. You should not politicize the outbreak in MS but provide leadership in urging people to quit holding wedding and other receptions that break his Orders. For God's sake Tate, LEAD, DON'T POLITICIZE THE VIRUS. The virus, after all, is stronger than you. Get serious about it every day.
Anon. 9:10, the 1918 pandemic was the Spanish Flu, not the Swine Flu. The latter was in 1976/77 when Gerald Ford was president. The so called Spanish Flu, by the way, is commonly thought to have originated in Kansas.

Yep, those who don't know history are sure to fuck up the future...
Why haven’t social hosting charges been brought against the family that allowed the post river party? If enough asshole parents realized that letting their high school kids get drunk and act a fool would result in jail time this shit would end.
