C19 Update: Over 3,000 Cases, Vaccines Roll Out, UMC Near Crisis Level

Getting a Covid-19 vaccine will be almost as easy as going to Chick-Fil-A.  The Mississippi State Health Department announced the creation of 18 drive-thru vaccination sites next week.  

Click here to find a schedule for vaccination sites.   

State Epidemiologist  Dr.  Paul Byers said 17,000 doses of the vaccine have been administered,  a far cry from the 4,500 reported by the New York Times yesterday.  He said a vaccination should take approximately ten minutes.   An appointment is required.  

Meanwhile, things continue to worsen on the Covid-19 front in Mississippi. The Health Department reported a record 3,023 case of the Wuhan virus and 29 deaths. The virus has caused 4,707 deaths.  Nursing home deaths comprise 36% of all deaths.  


 

Hospitalizations and vents are at their worst levels ever in Mississippi.  1,340 patients are hospitalized and 325 are in ICU's.  201 patients suffer on ventilators.

it's all a hoax, the election was rigged, man never really walked on the moon, and Elvise and JFK are sharing an apartment in Memphis.

Just relax everyone. Modern man has been around for what, 300,000 years plus, and haven't been wiped out yet. They had bad shit back then without vaccines and such until modern times and still we made it. Someday mankind will become extinct, but I seriously doubt it will be anytime soon. Save your strength and anxiety for a real problem.

Seniors (65 and up) are receiving the vaccine starting today in Florida.

https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/12/28/heres-how-you-will-know-when-you-can-get-the-covid-19-vaccine-in-florida/

Since states are allocated the vaccine on the basis of population, can we assume Mississippi is soon to follow? When will people over 65 get their vaccinations in Mississippi?

Don't count on it being soon. Florida values people over 65. Governor Reeves and Dr. Dobbs don't. People 65+ are way way down the list in Mississippi. Every senior in this state (everyone) over age 65 should move to Florida to save their life. And it is a matter of life and death.

Cases don't equal illness.

Go on out and celebrate the new year. As long as we're setting records, make it a high enough number to be proud of. You won't get a chance like this again to kill innocent people and not face prosecution.

The link says “ Only healthcare workers are eligible for drive-through vaccination at this time.”

Anonymous said...

That graphic says "healthcare workers" specifically, so maybe not just like the chik-fil-a drive thru?

We could all move to that enlightened Mecca of liberalism, the shithole of New York. There the leftist liberal lunatic, Andrew Cuomo, does a better job of murdering granny and pawpaw than any redneck could ever do. His master plan now is to give the limited supply of vaccine to drug addicts. Isn't he special, bless his heart.

KF - for real! I need to know what the DeSoto county coroner's thoughts are on this vaccine. He has such a unique insight on these "sciency" issues. He knows about real science and conspiracies and stuff! Lead us on, exalted county official! How can you leave us hanging KF?

4:13 brought up a good idea. We should put the Chik-fil-a folks in charge of the vaccine rollout...and perhaps just about everything else the government should be doing.

3:18 Yeah, the Black Death killed half of Europe. I guess anything with less than a 50% mortality rate is nothing to be concerned about.

I care a lot more about the chances of me being on the earth in another 25 years than I do of some random human still being in existence in 1,000 years. Nobody should be looked at as being worthless cannon-fodder.

4:45, and we came back even stronger. Oh well, panic if you need to.

@ 4:45. The Black Death was an epidemic which spread across almost all of Europe in the years 1346-53 (7 year period). The plague killed over a third of the entire population. Man did still survive didn't you. This super cold is way off the mark to even get anywhere near the Black Death score as we are in year 1. You really do need to get a grip.

Is the drive thru for anyone or just healthcare workers?

Anonymous said...

No one cares. Everyone gathered for Christmas, everyone will be partying for New Year’s. January will see tens of thousands more dead. The same folks on here posting “life will go on” wont care, unless something happens directly to them or someone they care about. Such is the world we live in.

I wish the “I don’t care” crowd here would also don’t care to drag mom or themselves to the hospital if they are short of breath...

@ 3:35. Thank you for making the only reasonable post to this “story”.

Drs. Dobbs and Fauci only talk about masks and hunkering down. Why do they never talk about other preventive measures such as the use of vitamins and supplements to help people build up their immune system to try and minimize the risk of catching the virus or minimizing its effect? Why do they not use their bully pulpit to urge doctors to treat patients more aggressively at home to minimize hospitalizations? Sadly,I think I know the reason.

COVID-19 treatment in Mississippi: [Forrest General] tries new device with positive results

Anonymous said...

Dr. Dobb's Hippocratic oath holds him to first do no harm.

The CDC and every international expert holds that you maximize the number of lives saved and limit the morbidity by starting vaccination with the elderly and proceeding sequentially through the next age group. 90+, then 80+, then 70+, then 60+.

Virtually all civilized countries are proceeding in that fashion.

But not Mississippi. And the Governor and Dr. Dobbs have a choice. Do you insert "essential workers" (regardless of age) before someone 65-74? Doing so, which is their choice, will raise the mortality and morbidity due to Covid.

I would think his oath would prevent him from doing harm.

I think it would be easier to find an expert on faster than light travel than the host of "experts" on Covid. At least the expert physicists would likely be more in agreement.

Wonder why was the MS Nat. Guard was placed ahead?

@3:57pm - Because they’re the ones running all the free testing stations so you morons can go get drive thru testing after your drunken New Years party.

Zero Hedge just reported that over half of California healthcare workers are refusing the vaccine:

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/im-choosing-risk-getting-covid-over-half-health-care-workers-california-hospitals-refuse

The most progressive state in this nation. They are willing to risk the high survival rate than risk the side effects of the vaccine.

Really makes you think.

A PCR test run over a cycle threshold of 35 will be positive. Every. Single. Time. What are the CT times in Mississippi? In Minnesota, 40% of the death certificates are wrong. How the hell does that happen? Check out Senator Scott Jensen. The numbers are inflated across the entire country. It exposes the corrupt medical mafia. Case count means nothing. The governor of Florida is making labs report cycle thresholds. unfortunately there is a perverse financial incentive in Mississippi and we will never know the real number of covid deaths.

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.
