The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 862 new cases of the Wuhan virus yesterday as well as 6 new deaths. The total number of cases is 103,681. The virus has caused 3,080 deaths. Nursing home deaths comprise 40% of overall Covid-19 deaths in Mississippi. There are 90,577 recoveries. More information and a complete list of infected counties can be found at the MSDH website. The Rt factor is 0.84, lowest in the country.
The big chart ticked upward yesterday.

Nobody seems to care....
Reminds of me of Al Pacino's line from Godfather: Part III:

Where else can one open-carry while wearing a mask and walk into a bank without anyone batting an eye?
Lots of young people getting this now with almost no chance of death or morbidity other than general snowflake histrionics.
Went to a gas station this morning and they took off the “masks required sign”. I was the only one wearing a mask. People are getting lax. Want tighter restrictions? Cause that’s where this is heading thanks to careless people.
I get a kick out of watching the folks wearing a mask so far below their neck
only their nipples are protected.
At the same time, they are babbling on their cell phones, and screaming "hello" to their friends on the other side of whatever store/public place.
But then again, I avoided these people waaaaay before Covid.

Nope. We are heading to the Sweden model. Yes, we may lose some of the weak, the old, and some minorities. And unfortunately that will only leave the strongest population of pure European descent. Yes it is a shame that diversity may suffer. But we can't stop living just because some are dying. Just accept it as evolutionary.
Herd immunity, either by enough infections plus or minus a vaccine is the only solution. Biden can’t stop this and neither can masks and social distancing.
One would think that our health experts would at some point mention the need for an exercise mandate rather than a mask mandate.
9:25 Last I checked someone’s slothful lifestyle and poor eating habits don’t put others at risk for heart disease. Yes we should be encouraging healthy living, but there is no comparison to a fatal, contagious disease.
Here is why " herd immunity" is a bad strategy:
1. It takes from 60-94% of the population to be immune ( it depends on how contagious a virus is so Mayo estimates 94%)
2. Not everyone getting CV19 develops sufficient immunity
3. We do not know how long immunity lasts with CV19
4. Our current death rate is 3% so the death toll would be 933000.
5. According to CDC the death rates by age are:
Under age 5: 37 in 14,399 cases
Age 6-14:35 deaths in 3597 cases
Ages 15-34: 2910 deaths in 26750
Ages:35-54:14,666 deaths in 114699 cases
Ages 54-65:25421 deaths in 281571 cases
Sweden has altered it's policies and unlike us, has done contact tracing efficiently. They have 10 million people which would achieve herd immunity faster than you can in 300 million! I'd also point out what should be obvious , Sweden's culture, economic and governmental structures are very different than ours so the impacts as different as well.
So, your herd immunity solution and notion that just the old people die, is proving to be even more idiotic than when you first embraced it.
Every one of you going maskless may be someone lucky enough to have no symptoms or those so mild you think it a slight cold. That doesn't keep you from disabling and killing fellow Americans.
Just ask Gov. Christy if he survives. I pray he does. Imagine, you've helped your good friend for days and end up on a ventilator because he didn't wear a mask.
Your " opinion" is worthless if it has no basis. If it's based in imaginary thinking, it a clinical concern. Some of you are making those around you think you are either not competent or unwell.
The State Fair that is under the jurisdiction of the State health officer is wide open with no masks. The Canton Flea market is wide open. The line at Waffle House was 10 deep this morning with the fry cooks wearing chin masks. Now I’m watching college football with literally thousands of people in the stands. But you know what our state health experts and state medical assn are worried about? Whether or not private high schools are reporting properly and following the rules. What a complete joke.
You do realize rt value isn’t right? They haven’t pulled numbers since the 5th for MS and on that day we were sitting at a 1.02
10:07: Actually herd immunity would result in deaths of 6.4 million in the US (not 944,000) using the 3% death rate, a 330 million population and certain other adjustments. It would be genocide.

Yes, except that the shady goobers who closed down the gyms, are the same ones who KEPT THE LIQUOR STORES OPEN. Capisce?
Everything that could be done, has been done, to PROMOTE the virus. High survival rates are BAD FOR BUSINESS.
6:39 pm I don't dispute your totals as a possible outcome.
I selected more conservative numbers that assume the death rate lowers due to improved treatment options and that most of the old people who are sheltering survive.
And, if FOX reporters and WH staff are in indication, maybe we see more Trump supporters in masks.
@6:39
I dispute your totals. The lunacy that C19 has a 3% has long been discarded by all reputable sources. Pick any well known event. The recent White House cluster is instructive. 34 people infected, including Trump and Christie, both who fit the high risk model. To date, no deaths, and all cases (positive tests) are recovered.
It also seems outrageous to suggest that herd immunity would require 94% to be infected. Completely ignoring the immunity exhibited by much of the population.
Don't let it dominate your life.

A study from April 2020, in 68 healthy donors never exposed to COVID-19, 34% had T cells that reacted to SARS-CoV-2.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867420306103?via%3Dihub
A study published in Cell in June 2020 showing that 40-60% of unexposed individuals had T cell recognition of SARS-CoV-2.
Herd immunity can be reached in a population at 10-20%, not 60-94%.
Kingfish - When will you stop this stupid daily Wuhan shit? You've cried wolf and falling-sky every day for five months. Nobody reads this shit. Why waste the key-strokes or are you paying an intern nine bucks an hour to write this drivel?
It is 65% for herd immunity. Not close to that. Cold viruses do not count toward that; a myth that has be debunked. Covid is real and bill bite the butt of those whose laugh in its face. Karma baby!
@2:09
Where is this debunking evidence you mention? Note above that I provided links to studies. Note that I don't claim them to be definitive, but they are evidence. You provide nothing except your own opinion.
