Jackson Jambalaya

nothing says "I am better than you" than limiting general seating capacity in football stadiums to 25% but only limiting enclosed club level seating and suites to 75% capacity, where tater tot and his donors sit... elitist pig! I can't wait to vote him out of office.

What's chucky going to do, write a ticket for not having a mask? I dare him. Has anyone even gotten a citation of sorts for not wearing a mask? What a do nothing, likes to hear his own voice, worthless mayor. Record killings in the streets and he's worried about mask mandated. Whereas he is an idiot.

8:02. can’t hit the nail on the head better. elites- all the rights. regular people- not so much.

8:02 I didn’t not know that. Awesome. We can cram a bunch of people in an enclosed space but can only allow a handful in the wide open outside space. What hypocrites.

I have to give credit to the governor. The Florida governor that is. Much tougher job and he is doing it much better than most.

Please explain this to me: the infection rate has gone down due in part to wearing masks. So now that the rate has declined we stop wearing masks? Nothing about the virus has changed; it is still as prevalent as ever and there is still no vaccine. Please explain.

Just when it looked like we were getting close to average. Does Tater think we are going to avoid the Winter surge just because he can't think more than two weeks ahead?

I understand having to balance the working economy with health restrictions, but there is no downside to a mask mandate other than to the "muh freedumb" crowd who hates doing anything for the public good.

Millsaps College must have a ballgame this weekend.

8:26 Gov. DeSantis and Tate must have gone to the same seminar on epidemics. Both states have average per capita cases, but are third and fourth highest in deaths per capita over the past week. That is a significant disconnect and looks like they are both artificially holding down testing to manipulate the results in their favor.

Go for it Tate, we can get the highest per capita deaths overall if you keep trying. We're already up to 7th and climbing.

Just a thought.....maybe the masks actually did very little. Perhaps it is a placebo, giving the more panic inclined among us some sense of safety as the virus runs its course; and we work on a vaccine that will be 50% effective at best.

I'm fairly certain my entire family had it months ago and never knew it. 3 of the 5 have the antibodies. No one ever felt sick, so no one ever got tested. I know of numerous other similar stories direct from an antibody testing clinic (several under one umbrella actually).

Have you been tested for it and/or the antibodies? If not, go get the antibody test. You will most likely be surprised. The actual infection rate would be staggering if everyone got the antibody test.

Mask don't do shit but make you feel better about something we can do nothing to stop and is picking off the absolute weakest of the heard. I know it sounds cold, but it's the bare bones truth. We are animals like all others at the biological level and are susceptible to a little thinning from disease from time to time. Always have been. Always will be.

If you believe wearing a porous cotton or plastic mask/bandana/neck gaiter is going to keep you from getting the WF, you’re gonna have a hard time.

No where in his declaration does it say you can’t wear a mask. Quite honestly his “Emergency Executive Powers” do not extend forever. At a point in time they run out, especially since the Legislature has meet and Sine Died without specifically granting that authority. If you believe it to be in the best interest of society to wear a mask then by all means wear a mask.

9:36, "Mask don't do shit but make you feel better about something we can do nothing to stop and is picking off the absolute weakest of the heard."

Been to school, son? You just spend all day on conspiracy websites? That's beyond stupid.

BTW, is that 15 year old Football player in Kosciusko the "weakest" of "the heard (sic)?"

Good Lord, son. YOU are the weakest. An IQ below room temperature.

@8:39 I agree completely with your point, though I disagree that masks make any difference. You're perfectly illustrating the hypocrisy and illogic of this issue. If they work so well they should be (and should have been years ago) mandated forever. Even if the flu is not AS bad as this it's still bad and kills thousands of people (including children, which COVID has not). If saving lives/preventing sickness is all the reason government needs to force you to wear a face covering that impedes your breathing, then they should be mandated forever, and anyone that doesn't comply doesn't care about other people.

I've been digging my face mask out of the dash board vent in my car for months. I take it off when I get in the car and rip it off and throw it on the dashboard like a Grey's Anatomy surgery gone terribly bad episode...

“Waaaaah, waaaaaah, I need the government to keep me safe and warm, waaaaah, waaaaaah”

@8:02 a.m. - You didn't know Covid only infects you in the cheap seats despite being allowed to have a more dense population in the clubs and suites? It also doesn't get you in indoor restaurants at 75% capacity? It's such an intelligent disease. If the MS GOP doesn't primary Tater tot, I'm done with them.

This is a medical issue that was decided entirely based on politics. Not a well thought out move by Tater and friends.

Waaaaah, waaaaaah, waaaaaah, my face is warm and my make believe disease doesn’t like these masks. I don’t care about anyone but myself waaaaah, waaaaaah.

If masks do really work why don't those who believe in mask just continue to use them? They can feel safe behind their masks. If your belief in your mask is not that strong then you need to stay at home. If a mask can stop a person from spreading the disease the same mask when worn by a person should stop that person from getting the virus. A mask does not only work in one direction. It either works in both directions or completely fails in both directions.

Wear your mask proudly knowing you are preventing yourself from catching the virus. No one will ask you to remove your mask.

I didnt vote for Tate but I'll vote to reelect him.

Genius move considering our RT value has climbed back to 1 again.

I’d be willing to open the whole thing up and see who is smart enough to take care of themselves. There’s too many people as is so if thousands of people over the age of 50 start dropping dead, maybe it will teach some people the hard way that politicians aren’t the people to listen to.

Chokeway should be worrying about the "Lead Virus" hanging out in the air of Jackson.......but then he don't hang out in da hood with the common folk!!

Mayor "yaps" would be more appropriate.

After all, the lil' Chihuahua pups love him.

9:36AM here addressing 10:15AM....notice that I included the designation of AM versus a lack of any in your address to me. That's just a basic sign of understanding that it matters. Only a fool or slothful soul such as yourself leaves it off. And yes, I have had plenty of schooling and education, more than I could or will ever use, but this is the internet. Does it even matter what you think or I say about that? It is not education that that allows me to spot a classic, self righteous know it all like you though. You ooze it.

And did you call me son? Do you have some tick like Biden....man? That is another sign of the weak minded. Do you say "um" often as well?

I don't know a damn thing about the 15 year old and neither do you. Do you know his medical history or his family's? Do you know his hereditary T cell ability? Do you even know what that is or why it matters? I seriously doubt you do.

Again....it's the weakest of the herd being taken. It is simple biology. It isn't my rule. It happens to deer herds. It happens to monkey troops. It happens to cattle. It happens to people. Eventually, we will be even more able to deal with it as a biological entity. Until then though, it will spread like wildfire and people will die.....the weak and compromised people, in one form or another.

And no, I don't subscribe to any conspiracies. I'm guided by my own beliefs and principles, none of which come from anything I have ever read on the internet.

Madison Central High School can have 50% attendance but Mississippi State is limited to 25 %.

High Schools that play at MSU stadium can have 50 % (Starkville High School)

This is like Tate shutting down the entire 33,000 Ross Barnett Reservoir.

Boneheaded move. Especially with Big Doners able to have 75% in a Suite.

No one ever mentioned how God is our Protector.
If after receiving notice of lifting the Mask Mandate and your decision is to continue wearing the mask, do so. If your decision is to stop wearing your mask, do so.
It has been placed rock solid that you can in so many words do as you please, but once again, the name calling is just ridiculous.
The City of Jackson Mayor is not an idiot, he is a person just as we all are.

I do not rely on you idiots or Reeves for accurate information re how to protect myself and my family from Covid.

Masks keep YOU from spreading the virus.

I don't know why it's so difficult to understand that masks don't protect you from getting the virus, they keep you from giving the virus to others and limiting the amount of droplets you inhale.

9:36am I'm glad you and your family had mild cases. I wonder how many you infected that didn't or who died.

Hope Hicks didn't necessarily give it to the President and First Lady, she is just the first to show symptoms. All three may have gotten it from an asymptomatic person( someone who feels fine). At least, two senators ( Tillis and Lee), Kellyanne Conway, and several reporters in the Rose Garden for the Supreme Court appointee announcement are all positive and quarantined. They all interacted with others. All had tested negative with the fast test that is only 85% accurate. See the problem yet?

Your ignorance is driving the politics which is the basis of the Governors decision. It should be science and common sense.

It is why we have the most cases in the World and the most deaths per capita.

Young people with ZERO underlying conditions have died. We don't know why. It could be they had more or repeated exposure. It could be that on that day, their immune system didn't response as well for some reason.

If dying and causing others to die is " just a part of life and no big deal" , then don't wear a seat belt, ignore all " reduce speed" signs and go 20 to 40 mph over the speed limit while texting. Since you are irresponsible about wearing a mask, you might as well be consistent. You might not kill someone else and possibly survive.

You have inconsistent and convenient ethics which is to say, you are moral only when it suits you.
