The Wuhan virus didn't take the day off yesterday. The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 967 cases and 14 deaths yesterday. The total number of cases is 124,854. The virus has caused 3,419 deaths. Nursing home deaths comprise 40% of overall Covid-19 deaths in Mississippi. There are 105,839 recoveries. More information and a complete list of infected counties can be found at the MSDH website. The Rt value is 0.84.
The big chart eased every so slightly yesterday, giving Mississippi some much-needed relief.

Sounds like we do not have enough ICU beds to begin with. They always run short with a regular flu season.
Look for it to get worse as people gather inside more now that it is getting darker earlier and the cool weather is creeping in. The mortality rate will probably start to climb too as there is a documented link between Vitamin D deficiencies and more severe COVID consequences, and without supplements the Vitamin D levels naturally drop as people get less sunlight exposure.
Hopefully a vaccine is less than a month away and we can see the vulnerable people getting protected by the end of the year. Not going to do anything for catching COVID at Thanksgiving or Christmas gatherings though, so maybe people will stick to celebrating with just immediate family for this year in an effort to prevent spreading it in the community. Who am I kidding? This is Mississippi. A vast majority of the population cares about nothing but their own convenience and has no understanding about contagious diseases. We're screwed.
This is grim but expected news. Prayers for everyone.
Like many others, I'm considering what to do for T'giving. At this point, 9 adult family members and a one year old, midafternoon feast buffet style on kitchen counter.
If weather is good, then 3 or 4 small tables on patio, spaced apart.
If weather is bad, small tables spaced apart inside the house. I hate to sacrifice this beloved holiday so am trying to figure out way to do it "safely".
Nursing home deaths at 40% seems likely but let us not forget those people who are parents, grandparents and community members. God Bless them all. They should have had a longer life with quality for themselves. I am very angry about flu viruses coming from China. I believe our government should cancel all money owed to China. All the flus come from them and have made havoc on so many countries and people. They should be charged for this.
Well, we all now understand there's no need for a run on toilet paper.
This virus affects the respiratory system, not the bowels.
Wait a minute... Y'all said the virus would be gone after November 3rd... What happened?!
Hate to break to everyone here....viruses gotta virus. Everything we do merely delays the inevitable.
Another thing that never takes a day off is MSDH/UMC's manipulation.
President elect Biden people
No more Trump
6:01, actually president Trump is President until inauguration day. Then and only then will it be President Biden.
"President elect Biden people" with President elect Harris on deck in the batters circle.
My God, the sky is falling. Everyone run and hide. Sorry, though we had a real problem here.
It is reported tonight that Mark Meadows, Chief if Staff in the WH, tried to cover up his own scorching case of the virus. The virus seeks out those who deny her existence and humiliates those who disrespect the power of nature. It’s karma Mark! Be sure to fumigate before turning over your office.
Thanks for the big increase Comm. Andy Gipson.
I would not know where to turn until the Covid has gotten really bad and got dumped in ER. Not a issue of insurance or money, but once testing positive what happens. See videos of Doctors in some areas who treat patients and claim none required hospitalization.
I do no see a effective vaccine coming, if one is out the virus can change.
