98.9% survival rate. We shouldn't be bothering with the massive expense this entire charade is costing. We don't even put this much effort protecting kids with fatal peanut allergies. You are more likely to he killed by a drunk driver on your way home from work than from dying from the Covid-19 that you caught at work.

@ 4:26 The issue is not the death rate. The issue with the virus is what it does to the body, potentially long term. Irreparable damage in some cases. 55% of people who catch the virus have reported lasting neurological problems. plenty more statistics of other major organ failures/complications.

What I font understand is how we have completely ignored what is going on in GA right now. They have had their schools open just over a week and already are reporting mass spread. 800 students required to quarantine this week.

MS is a serious Hot Spot right now for catching this virus. People are laughing at the United States right now on how we are handling this crisis, and MS is at the top of the list on problematic states. Not something to be proud of.

Again, dufus, World War II had a 99.7% survival rate for Americans.

And we did NOT ignore the fight, ignore the losses of fellow Americans, and post enemy propaganda without consequences.

But, yet, here again, you are doing so.

And lies and deflection, too.

Let's see, how many Americans have died of Covid in 6 months, 170,000. How many DUI deaths last year- about 10,000, so that'd be about 5,000 compared to 170,000, Hoss.

Stop lying. Stop posting misinformation. Stop ignoring the hardship that fellow Americans are suffering medically and economically. Because ignoring Covid is like ignoring Pearl Harbor. Go away, creep.

4:26 Agreed. They need to break the numbers down like the DeSoto County Coroner did. How many had severe underlying conditions? How many 'probable' causes of death are being included in the over all number. The madness needs to stop. There is a perverse incentive involved. Money. How many heart attacks/cancers/strokes are being included because of a faulty test and covid had nothing to do with the death?

"You are more likely to he killed by a drunk driver on your way home from work than from dying from the Covid-19 that you caught at work."

No, you're not. Drunk driving is obviously a serious issue and a stupid thing to do, but there have already been about 50,000 more COVID-19 deaths than all drunk driving deaths (driver killing themselves, driver killing others) in the last 10 years. But that aside, it isn't a contest.

New Mexico governor screwed up and let the cat out of the bag last week. “Let’s hold these behaviors beyond the vaccine, because these are good public health behaviors that will prevent the spread of influenza, that will prevent the spread of colds… we should start thinking about this as the right public health path forever irrespective of COVID.” Flu. Colds. Forever. That's the fear-porn mindset we're up against.

@4:26 at a 98.9% death rate (which is still being measured) you do realize that you're willing to risk the death of over 3.3 million Americans (of which that would be 33,000 Mississippians) to remove whatever inconvenience you feel you're being subject to? That's like wiping out all of Clinton and half of Brandon. On the national level that like wiping out the equivalent of Mississippi's total population. But whatever, you don't want to wear a facemask so I'm sure we're overreacting.

Progress!

Does this mean that we can all take off these dumb masks now, and have us a good ol' make-up parade on the streets in downtown Jackson, with thousands in attendance, the alcohol flowing, music blaring? An August St. Patty's parade sounds good to me.

@4:51 it's clear you don't know anything about the health care industry. I promise you they make much more money replacing our hips and photographing the inside of our colons than they do treating Covid.

Anybody care to bet on what office that desoto county coroner will be running for? He’s already tweeting GOP propaganda so you know he’s planning to make a move to get some of that money.

I'm not sure what "progress" means. A high school on the coast had to ask 100 students to self-isolate for 14 days because of one or more COVID-19 cases in their midst. Maybe "progress" means that in the coming weeks, all or most of the school-age children in the state will either have to self-isolate or be infected, along with all or most of the school staff.

Little Lord TaterLeRoi better get his shit together right quick or there is going to be a whole lot of very scared mad parents. And a lot of them are going to be as white as a raw tatertot...right before it gets deep-fried.

@5:27 Thank you! ...although some people don't give a shit about protecting others until it visits their doorstep.

Big shit, Covid kills. So do other things and it will be this way forever. Either shut it down or go wide open. We all die regardless and there is no fucking way you, me or anyone else gets away with it. You Monday morning MD's and virologists are getting boring.

Tate says football is essential? What about keeping kids and their parents and grandparents safe? Get your priorities straight. Require kids to wear masks in school statewide. Then worry about football.

people on here trying to change other people's minds about this 150 days into it...smh

"Progress" is code for "we're good enough for fall sports". Tate doesn't care what happens in the future, he will seize on a one-time aberration to justify not shutting anything down. Maybe the SEC will show a little common sense and follow the Big Ten and Pac-12 by postponing sports until spring. They can't have football without spectators and it isn't safe now.

@7:09 I don't understand your reasoning. Of course we're going to die of something, perhaps Covid19, perhaps something else. Therefore we should be reckless with covid19? Maybe we should also all get drunk and play chicken in our cars on I-20, because, you know, "we die regardless"?

"Lasting neurological problems"? Tell me again how long this pandemic has been with us?

4:46, you said, "55% of people who catch the virus have reported lasting neurological problems." Please cite your source for this nugget. Also, do you enjoy making up shit to scare folks?

Not that you’re likely to read anything not associated with the Q, but here you go:
https://www.statnews.com/2020/08/12/after-covid19-mental-neurological-effects-smolder/

There’s more, but you might have to learn something, and I know that shit is like kryptonite to y’all fools.

4:55 and 7:17, Don't you two have a search engine?

I'm not 4:46,but I am trying to keep up with the scientific research.( not political nonsense or UTube or some website or podcast from people whose credentials are less than stellar).

First of all, yes, " lasting" means in minutes, hours, days, and months, the time since the virus' symptoms faded and this is a new virus.

I'm amazed that the two of you know so little about your own bodies that you don't know that permanent damage can be determined with testing these days.

When doctors are saying there is damage to organs, you best look up which organs can heal themselves and which can't. The brain sometimes can ( like if the damage is from meth) but sometimes it scars and the damage is permanent.

Nerve damage can be permanent as well and inflammations in the nerves can be permanent in the sense of reoccurring forever. Lucky you if you've never had the test to see if you have permanent nerve damage.

Your lack of concern and denial about the " lasting effects" being documented by the medical professionals all over the world, is based on ignorance. Or, perhaps, incredibly poor judgment in sourcing information or character.

And, since knowledge is now at the touch of your fingers, you are being deliberately ignorant and/or manipulated by political propaganda ( this again is a lack of judgment).

Do be careful saying such nonsense in public. Many of those listening will think you unintelligent and certainly uneducated. And, they will question anything you say in future.

Early intervention in the outpatient setting would have saved many lives. Never in modern medical history have we approached a virus with such a draconian plague mentality by forcing isolation, masks, and distancing. Also don’t forget your goggles, according to Fauci and Birx. The biggest mistake he ever made was putting them in charge. Unreal. Now we are masking children in 100 degree heat who have negligible instances of getting sick or dying, much less than the flu we face every year.

Not to mention the businesses and livelihoods that have been destroyed—which means more depressed people, more homeless people, and hungry kids.

There are treatments and therapeutics that greatly diminish the effects of the virus on the Covid positive patients who are high risk but instead we sent them home to rot so our state can get the case numbers up, until they were so sick they had to be hospitalized and put on ventilators.

People are so misinformed and our American media has committed terrorism by fueling the panic over this virus. Just a reminder that nearly 8,000 Mississippians will die of heart disease this year and another 6,000 of cancer—but don’t mind that, just keep moving along like the good sheeple we are.

@8:39am Yes, 8,000 Mississippians will die of heart disease and 6,000 will die of cancer, in addition to the nearly 2,000 AND COUNTING who have died from Covid-19.

I have ZERO confidence in this data, the state refuses to release the data collection management methodology and validation process, and seems to be continually dithering on how to classify deaths, cases, hospitalizations, ICU population and intubations.

At best, the data are incomplete; at worst, it is being skewed to justify current and desired policy initiatives.

Shameful for a bunch of folks who claim to be scientists and who are ethically bound to the scientific method.

@9:57am What do you expect from MSDH? Omniscience? Of course the data is incomplete. Of course it takes time to review and classify this information. Of course there are going to be some areas that are misclassified and reclassified. Don't miss the forest for the trees here. No one is ever going to have 100% of the universe of anything, but that doesn't negate the overwhelming message of the information that is collected.

Back above 1,000 new cases today with 45 deaths. Sorry Tater, we aren't making progress. At best we have hit a plateau. Give me a call when deaths, hospitalizations, and ICU/Vent usage are back to where they were in June with less than 500 in the hospital and an average of 10 deaths per day. That will be progress.

I still can't believe how stupid Tate really is. Does he really think reopening schools and pushing for spectator sports won't make a bad situation worse. These numbers have nowhere to go but up.

957, they release that data regularly. Many people don't want to listen, or don't want to believe what they are told by officials, or both. Guess that includes you

743, they are requiring kids and teachers to wear face masks statewide.

Now whats your bitch?

"Maybe the SEC will show a little common sense..."

And maybe Landsharts will learn to fly, too.

OH, LORD! Shartnado!

Well, maybe a tide will roll 'em out to sea and save us all...

8:23, 7:17 here. The dude said "55% of the people who caught the virus...." He's lying. The only commonality between ANY 55% segment of the people who caught the virus is.....they never knew they had it bc they were asymptomatic.

My gramma lives with her polio symptoms to this day. She’s had polio 86 years. Yes it was just a virus. They absolutely did take precautions like distancing and masks. This is as real as that one was.
