Governor Extends C19 Order, Daughter has C19

 15 parishes under mask mandate.

Lord Protector Tate Reeves issued the following statement. 

Today, Governor Tate Reeves announced that he has extended his “Safe Recovery” executive order through December 11. It had been set to expire today. 

The governor also reset his county-specific orders, using the applicable data. The counties that now qualify for additional measures including mask requirements are Benton, Carroll, Covington, DeSoto, Forrest, Harrison, Humphreys, Jackson, Lamar, Lauderdale, Leflore, Lee, Marshall, Rankin, and Yalobusha.

“I know that we are all tired and ready to move on. But the virus is still here,” said Governor Reeves. “It’s still working to infect and kill. We’ve gotten far better at dealing with it, and allowing for life to go on. But we’re not all the way there yet. Keep fighting and protecting the most vulnerable in your life. No matter where you are, please do your best to social distance and wear a mask.”

Kingfish note: The Governor announced on Facebook yesterday that his daughter contracted the virus: 

My youngest daughter just tested positive for COVID-19. She feels OK, but could still use prayers! Please pray for her momma too!
 
Our entire family will be getting tested again and isolating for the time being. Stay safe, and God bless!

Where’s Madison County? There’s no way they fell under the threshold for a mask mandate. Unless of course everyone is “over it” and just aren’t getting tested anymore.

Everyone IS over it... big whoop. you get a little cold at worst.

Call it what you want, but Tate Reeves nor Joe Biden will make me wear a mask. A lot of things may or may not happen, but "making" me wear a mask is not one of them.

Also saw a democrat by the name of John Alan Simmons on the Mississippi Politics page laughing and giddy at the fact that Tate's daughter caught it. I guess they are still the party of tolerance?

10:39. that is true for most. but we now have a hospital number record and the death rate is going back up. wear a mask to protect the vulnerable. it’s the least we can do for others.

Unfortunately, it isn't a little cold for everyone. My daughter has it, and she said she felt like she was run over by a truck the first few days. She is recovering ok, but she has no sense of taste or smell now. My brother also had it, and he also lost his taste and smell for a couple of weeks. He said the first few days, he never felt so weak or out of breath so easily in his life. He said his bouts with the flu were nothing like this.

I agree that we have to live our lives, but we can respect others by taking a few precautions.

@10:39am - Yeah, 240,000 and counting Americans got a little cold. When one of your loved ones “gets a cold” and dies from it, then MAYBE you’ll understand. I doubt it though.

I understand the "not going to wear a mask" mindset and I don't like to be told what I need to wear any more than the next person. But have some empathy for those that want to minimize their possible exposure. You may not be worried about catching the cold, but the woman in line next to you wearing a mask may be really fearful of getting sick, may have exacerbating health conditions, may be taking care of a vulnerable family member or just don't want to be one of the statistical anomalies and show up as a death. This is really no different that you choosing to bathe and wear deodorant so you don't offend other people. Think of it as just doing the right thing rather than being told what to do. Help your neighbor.

@11:05, wow, tough guy. Dumb guy too.

10:39 and 11:05 - Nurse here. It's A LOT more than a cold for some, and it is VERY real. Be considerate of others and wear the mask.............

@1:07..10:39 here. I never said I don't wear a mask.

I’m a senior citizen and have lost my sense of taste and smell over the years many times with the common cold! Why is it a big deal now?

Rumor has it that Madison County Schools are about to shut down from all the outbreaks from all the must have sportsball teams. Going to be a long fall and winter. It’s just a cold though right, who cares.

Hattiesburg is reporting that most of its cases are being traced to outside counties, such as Jones, Perry, Stone, and Marion. The "stopping at the county line" theory for CV19 may not be valid. Time for a state-wide face mask mandate.

Sorry to read that Reeves's daughter has CV19. Prayers sent for a full recovery for her.

10:39 AM are you really that isolated from facts or are you just stupid? This virus kills.

And 11:05 you and your kind are the super spreaders, still crying because somebody took your toys or "made you" go to your room! Grow up!

I hope the governor's child doesn't have severe symptoms and recovers soon.

"Yall keep forgetting Tater went to Millsaps."

I don't give a rat's ass where Tate went to school, what fraternity he pledged, or what his current policies may be.

I only hope his little girl is OK.

I'm sure she will be fine, but to make a political issue over a lil' kid's medical issues is too much . . .

Sound like more Americans that don’t have any resolve. lol y’all are so weak. Just wear the damn mask.

bill said...

People bitch about wearing a mask and act all tough about it, but those same people Back The Blue and slavishly obey all the speed limits. I’m a hell of a lot more inconvenienced by not being able to get someplace faster than I am by wearing a mask.

Tate: Piecemeal approaches do not work for a virus that knows no boundaries. Reimpose the statewide mask mandate for the sake of the State's health until at least a vaccine is widely distributed.

We are all going to be exposed to it at some point. Hope yalls antibodies are in good shape.

Jacksun said...

6:13: Thise of us wearing masks should be protected.

Turd Ferguson said...

Why not mask mandate for susceptible populations only? Elderly or have multiple co-morbidities or obese... damn guess that would be 90% of the adults in this state!

11:05 here. I haven’t been in a group setting since March. Haven’t spread a thing. Just because I refuse to wear a mask doesn’t mean I’m not smart about it. Order everything online and pick up. I’m careful but not basing my life off someone telling me how I have to live. I’m smart enough to think by myself, but thanks for the ASSumptions. It reiterates my thoughts that the majority of people can’t think for themselves.

Cool 11:05/10:01, Iam sure that is easy for you, since no mask wearing person would want to be around you any way.

Chappelle was spot on.

The virus just doesn’t magically go away. It’s here to stay. If you are susceptible, stay away from crowds. Don’t pen others down who are healthy.

Anonymous said...

so... where would be be now if no one had ever put a mask on back in march? cleary, masks are not having the effect folks thought they would, or we wouldn't still need them. are we going to be expected to wear them forever?

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.
