I'm hearing that schools are closing in Madison, Natchez, Puckett, and Florence as well. Wondering 1. if this is true and 2. if these are all high schools.

Natchez-Adams School District is closing ALL schools beginning Thursday, Nov. 12, until after the Thanksgiving break due to an outbreak of COVID-19.

Hearing Jackson Prep having a similarly-bad outbreak. Must be something in the water (or air) in Rankin County.

Guess we can assume that the Brandon football team didn't make the playoffs.

Thank goodness Jackson Prep, JA and MRA haven’t had a single case.

Swapping spit spreads viruses.

What an amazing coincidence. The election is over and all of a sudden teenagers everywhere are getting infected. Seems kids all of a sudden are having parties all over the place that they weren't having before. I certainly think that is plausible.

Also don't think masks are as effective as touted. Could be results of increased testing etc. Hopefully the vaccine will help regardless of naysayers.

Get ready for lockdown 2.0 and the impending small business closures.

Choctaw schools are closing Friday and Leake county schools will not come back after Thanksgiving break. Tate is an idiot. I voted for him, but never again.

You people calling it a flu virus are the boomers getting removed by the #boomerRemover

Can ANYONE explain to me why Mistletoe Marketplace (where I saw ZERO masks in the gala pictures posted on FB) and the fair were allowed to come to town??? Anyone??? I can’t wait to hear these answers.

Some of you need to never swap spit with anyone. Because you do NOT need to find yourself reproducing. Hate for you to chance losing your sense of smell or taste, too. You wouldn’t have any sense left.

Convenient excuse for the teachers and admins. to pull a long Thanksgiving, maybe even stretch it.

"Tested positive", does not mean very much, where Covid-19 is concerned. Depending on the test used, it could mean several things. And even if those students DO(or did) have the virus in their systems, it still doesn't mean very much. The only group seriously at risk, are those who are already moribund (headed toward death). But anyone with Internet access, and with half-a-brain, already knows these things. Distinguished epidemiologists around the globe, have been saying what I've said, for months.

I'm not sure why I've bothered to post, since these threads always seem to have PAID COVID INDUSTRY TROLLS outnumbering real people, 4-to-1.

Anyway, a school full of "infected" children, will soon be a school full of immune children, incapable of transmitting the virus. And as for "spit-swapping", it is important to note that when pathogens enter through our mouths, and pass through our throats, stomachs, intestines, etc., this is the ideal way for developing optimal immunity. This gives our bodies the best opportunity for learning to recognize pathogens, and to develop strategies for dealing with them.

Because we are a (somewhat) free country where people can make their own risk assessments. I take it you didn’t attend either, as was your right.

9:39, you can't make anonymous posts claiming to be right for months. Geez.

This is just pure hysteria. The whole scheme is a house of cards built on bad tests, random “mitigation” measures and just plain stupid policy. The new antigen tests are a joke and they are being given out like candy. They are supposed to be followed up with a PCR test. Not happening. The PCR test can’t discern between active virus and if you had the virus 4 months ago. It has been apparent since multiple studies in May that we do not know how long you can still test positive. So, go to urgent care with the sniffles and get and antigen test...welcome to quarantine and social distancing and masks at school become irrelevant, clearly everyone on your bus, in every class and everyone you walked by were in “close contact”.

When Pearl and Northwest Rankin get put out of the playoffs, those two will be shutting down as well. Northwest has already had confirmed cases on the team but are keeping it quite because by God, we gotta win!!!

Undeniable fact: COVID is now the third highest cause of death in the US. Think about that before you comment nonsense about it being a little flu. Think about the brain fog, strokes and other long term effects for many. The unpredictability of who suffers most. Think of who you are potentially endangering before spouting COVID denial. Nature is a stronger force than you or your obstinate prideful fact free denial.

Hearing rumblings that the Rankin County School District issues will only get worse due to a party of several hundred Rankin County students at a farm in southeast Rankin County a week or two back. Super spreader event. Even if you want to equivocate COVID to the flu, holding parties like this in the middle of flu season is even irresponsible. Parents need to step up to their responsibility.

My daughter told me that several of her Rankin and Madison County friends have been talking about parties that they have been attending over the last couple of weeks. These are girls that attend JP, JA, St. Andrews, NWR, Brandon, Germantown, and MC. Even some of her MRA classmates have attended said parties. It is not a surprise that the cases are rising.

Some of you only see this from the perspective of the kids and their ability to get through something like this. Think about the teachers, parents, grandparents, and other family members with unknown underlying conditions that may be affected by irresponsible behavior.

Even if you only look at from the perspective of the economy, those are some valuable man-hours lost because people have to quarantine.

" And as for "spit-swapping", it is important to note that when pathogens enter through our mouths, and pass through our throats"

Yep, and I'm one that loved those High School (make out parties).
30 percent of these parties ended up in a cheap motel room for another party.

A lot more dangerous little burning things were passed around those nights than a stuffy nose pathogen cell.

BTW, the common flu is also a covid virus.

@4:27 - No, the flu isn’t a “covid virus” (nor a coronavirus), it’s an inFLUenza virus.

Anonymous said...

@4:27 - saying the flu is a corona virus is like saying a human is a toad... same phylum, but that’s about it.

Coronavirus family said...

Do your research before guessing.

Coronaviruses include:

Common cold
SARS
MERS
COVID-19

NOT THE FLU!

Source is linked above. If you don't like that one there are dozens more that confirm this.

No parties you say! That means that those teenage boys will have to take the problem in hand, the old fashioned way.

His name is Jesus and he's not considered a great sky wizard. God is in control of this world and each individual who does not Praise and Thank him for another day regardless of COVID should do so. Not having games is so petty, but LIFE is more wonderful than anything.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
