"Our Healthcare System is at Risk"

Governor Tate Reeves is giving a briefing on Covid-19 right now. The briefing is streamed below.





Governor Reeves also stated on Facebook:

The plan, for weeks, had been to fully reopen by July 1. That’s not happening. Our re-opening is paused, and we’re considering what we need to do going forward. That was not an easy call. I see the cost these measures carry. But things are getting worse, not better.

* Governor says C19 cases are rising fast in Mississippi. He said "Our healthcare system is at risk." 

*The rules are "not too loose," but the people are not following even "the simplest rules."

* Dr. Dobbs said the largest increase is in the 20-20 age group.

Tater seems to be begging the citizens to take this seriously and keeps saying it’s not a hoax. Must be frustrating that his own base are ignoring him as fake news.

Are the 20 year old being hospitalized?

Thank God we wasted a week on the flag. It's not like there's a need to do something. SMH.

Maybe the Simpleton could simply wear a mask and lead by example.

Are you daft?! YES!

@2:57: Please provide evidence that the increase in hospitalizations is due to 20 year olds.

@2:46 are you sure, or are you just assuming because you got a medical degree from Facebook?

2:46 Yes, they are. But a larger concern is what happens when they spread it to their parents, grandparents, co-workers, etc. who are older and at a higher risk of complications. In case you missed basic biology back in middle school contagious diseases get transmitted from one person to another.

Dr. Dobbs has never practiced on a actual patient. Nor ever been in hospital working. Please stop listening to him.

There is 7.5 BILLION people in this world and 517,000 deaths? And we have ruined our economy for this? Our healthcare system is NOT at risk.

Our health care system is at risk?
Nurses are having to cut their hours and one large hospital has gone to TV commercials trying to get customers.
How about Tater do as he tells us to do. Where is his mask?

243: most 20 somethings I’ve met are not tater tot base members.

A course your health system is at risk. The legislature has limited competition by the Corrupt CON Law. The Chairman of Health in House Sam Mimms works at Merit Health. Think that isn’t a conflict????

2:57, how do you know? I didn't see any indication of that.

Hmm it's almost like what we're doing IS NOT WORKING and we need more than a just "please do this." If only there were a way to require things like masks and limited gatherings of people. If only.

Actually 2:57 - not really much at all.

According to MS Dept Health data today, there have only been 177 hospitalizations of people 0 - 29 years old through yesterday.

As in since this started over 3 months ago, only 177 people 0-29 yrs old have been hospitalized, out of 8,058 positive cases for the same age group.

And out of those there have been 7 deaths (ZERO deaths under 18)

people over 65 interact with people 20-29... well we now know the cost of the covid drug. hope y’all can afford it

Did he address the CDCs newest revelation that the test tests for ANY coronavirus and not specifically COVID19? Therefore increasing positives while the death rate trickles up?

Anonymous said...

5:51 The COVID drug that helps shorten a hospital stay but ultimately reduces the mortality rate by only about 20%. That's better than nothing, but I'm still not depending on it to save my life.

The Masked Marauder said...

2:54, obviously you are blind to what you don't want to see.

Go to the beginning of the conference - Tater is wearing a mask, as is Dr. Dobbs. Didn't notice about the MEMA guy.

During the conference - when he is several feet away from anybody - he takes it off to be able to answer the "public's" (represented of course by the self-ordained media folks) questions of the day.

But yes - he was leading by example.

What do you want to bitch about now that your last one failed?

@3:21

Dr. Dobbs is an epidemiologist - they don't practice medicine on patients; they deal with s**t like this.

Yes, listen to him, not social media experts like you that have not only never practiced medicine on a patient, but never even drove through the parking lot of a school where medicine was discussed in Biology classes.

Thanks for your advice. Next time give a better reason, along with some relevant supporting ideas, for your idiotic suggestions.

3:46 --

see response to 2:54.

Then, go back to when the three of them enter into the room.

Then come back and bitch about something else.

Thanks - your thoughts have been 'properly' noted.

Tate, if true this is on you, you chubby-wubby.

Could have spent time addressing this “emergency” instead of fooling around with the state flag, which as killed NOBODY.

Dope.

Spot on 2:43.

However, Tate never really has had a true "base".

But after last weekend, he did loose a lot of votes.

Contrary to what the local media yaps about, not everyone feels warm and fuzzy about the way the flag issue was handled.

That applies to many others in the State Capitol as well.

The health system is more in danger of complications of obesity, including with Covid-19. I was in Sam's (with a mask on) and 90% of the people there were morbidly obese.

Jimmy Taylor said...

It's really difficult yo take him seriously..he changed his mind on the flag and doesn't even wear a mask like he asked everyone too. It's like telling my girlfriend, sorry honey, the condom was in my pocket.

When you lose credibility on one issue, you lose credibility on all issues. Since Tate has proven that his word can't be trusted, I doubt anyone will listen to him about Covid or much of anything else.

TD said...

I can assure you Dr Dobbs has considerable experience treating patients. He founded the South Central Hospitalist program in 2001, has worked at numerous hospitals and clinics in AL and MS including South Central, St Ds, and Hattiesburg Family Health Center. He has spent more time in private practice than public service. He continues to treat TB patients even during the pandemic response. TDobbs

This Gives Me Pause said...

Tate: It's OK that '...out reopening is paused.' Our entire state government was 'paused' while you flew out of the country to attend soccer games and exposed you family and trooper escorts to Wuhan.

8:41 Last time I checked you can't get diabeetus or heart blockages from talking to an obese person.

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.
