The Wuhan virus picture darkens in Mississippi set yet another record was set for deaths caused by the virus. The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 2,191 cases of Wuhan virus and 79 deaths today. However, 56 of the deaths took place between December 12 and December 21. The total number of cases is 197,691. The virus has caused 4,490 deaths. Nursing home deaths comprise 40% of overall Covid-19 deaths in Mississippi. There are 154,669 recoveries. The charts below are worth several thousand words.
I tend to ignore the chart that graphs the number of cases. It can be skewed by variables such as reporting and testing. However, the charts for deaths and hospitalizations provide a better idea of the severity of the pandemic. The first chart covers the last three weeks. The second chart tells the whole story.

And, no word from our governor....asleep at the wheel? (and that is not the band based in Austin, Texas)
It is inevitable that we have already exceeded our 7-day death average that was set back in July. It takes a couple of weeks for the data to be complete, and the number is going nowhere but up.
Where will it stop? I remember when 3,000 dead Mississippians was viewed as absolutely unthinkable, now we will probably double that and nobody seems to care. This is going to kill 2 out of every 1,000 citizens in less than a year's time. 1 out of 100 will have wound up in the hospital.
The real tragedy is a proven safe and effective vaccine is already here and there will be at least 1,500 more Mississippians who will die needlessly as they wait helplessly for production to ramp up while covidiots continue to party like nothing is going on.
Those Obama death panels are arriving at Mississippi's rural hospitals that have closed or will soon close due to refusing to allow Medicare funding of the state's poor. With no one at the the front line hospitals to determine the cause of death other than county coroners the dead will all be considered to be victims of coronary failure and won't that be a great relief for the anti-maskers and Kung-fu fluers.
Mississippi's slow motion downfall continues to be the "us against them" racial divide. This pandemic is just the most deadly and undeniable result so far. And the poor white people are obviously easily expendable to the majority of voters as long the death toll of Blacks is significantly higher in comparison.
Thanksgiving deaths/hospitalizations starting to show up. We’ll likely see a small reprieve for a week or two and then a big ramp up after Christmas and New Years. People will travel and ignore preventive guidance, as usual.
Kingfish this has to be FAKE NEWS because numerous numbskulls have vociferously said so many times before on previous posts.
Alabama has been under a mask mandate since July 16.
https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/story/news/2020/11/05/alabama-mask-mandate-gov-kay-ivey-order-extended-december/6175275002/
Mississippi's mandate came August 4 and expired September 30, with select counties since.
One would think that the case rate in Alabama would be much better than ours?

Dr Hobbs said in the press conference this afternoon, "They didn't have to die." Well, Dr Hobbs apparently has some sort of magic that can keep people alive.
Since most people don't have any knowledge of history, many more people died during previous epidemics. In comparison with such things as bubonic plague or spanish flu, the numbers are much less now than then.
Take your precautions, it is a good thing. But expecting that wearing a mask is somehow makes you immune is more BS spun by HollyNews. If you don't contract the virus you still could die in a traffic accident, or even get hit in bed by a falling tree.
"They didn't have to die"? Hello empty brains, we all are going to die. Unfortunately this time is nature sending a illness. Can we stop nature? Heck, the virus itself is starting to mutate.
Take care, take precautions, and be wise. But stop thinking you live in a fairy tale world where you will live forever if you don't get a kiss from mother nature.
The death numbers are deceiving as they imply that they are yesterday's deaths, until you read the fine print that they were earlier in the month due to the constant late reporting.
Of course this has been going on since day one.
However, the state's talking heads use these numbers to scare the public - "worst day since...."
In case I haven't mentioned it, the PCR cases are a bunch of hooey.

I saw people at a local big box store walk in not wearing masks, get handed free masks at the door to enter the store, then take them off as soon as they got in the door. Employee said there was nothing they could do and company policy was not to confront customers.
I wish someone tracked LTC recoveries
2:58 Alabama has 50% more people than Mississippi and about the same number of deaths. I'd say they are doing much better than we are. Of course, a mandate only works if there is punishment for not following it. The people in Alabama are generally no more educated or willing to help others than people in Mississippi. It is not surprising to see deliberate ignorance of infectious diseases in both states causing a higher effect from COVID.
And now I see where Guv Tater Tot has issued a mask mandate for all counties, with the exception of 4. If you're going to have a mask mandate, why not make it for ALL counties?! I'll be the first to admit that I hate wearing these fucking masks, but I'm trying to do my part in this pandemic.
How many flu cases, hmmmm?
@3:15
I have yet to submit to a commie muzzle and I never will. I’ve been waiting for one of you pukes to say something to me. But you are all cowards. I’m a free man while you are all terrified sheep.
@ 3:46 PM
Comparing the total number of deaths for 2 states with different poplulations is the whole point. The chart normalizes the difference by using #/million in order to make a comparison between the 2 population sizes.
Maths is hard!
If we were only as smart as the enlightened liberal states that have mask mandates, strict lockdowns, and well-educated citizens this pandemic would be well under control. What's that you say? These shitholes are having an increase in covid cases, too. That can't be. I was told in no uncertain terms that this was only happening in Mississippi or other redneck places. The covidiots that get on here and slander the good people of this state are the most ignorant, self-loathing, hypocrites that breathe God's good air.
For a supposed medical doctor to say these people didn't have to die is nothing less than fear-mongering. Does this clown think he's God? Regardless of the advancements in medical knowledge and expertise, people will continue to die. That is an appointment we will all make.
@2:40, why is it the governors job to keep YOU safe from a virus?
@2:42, “proven safe?” Gene therapy disguised as a vaccine that’s been tested on virtually nobody and actually killed animals in past trials when they were exposed to the real virus and has only had a few weeks trial run? Ignoring long-term consequences? Sign me up!
@2:47, YES! This is fallout from Thanksgiving, literarily a month ago for a virus that allegedly has a 14 day incubation period!
@3:15, you are correct. In fact, confront me and the last thing you’ll need to worry about is COVID
Please be patient. The day of fasting and prayer two days ago has not yet had time to influence the statistics. Give it a week.
3:46...Since you've achieved the mantel of 'expert', please tell us what the penalty is in Alabama for not following the mandate.
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, We're all gonna die.
Soon on TV you'll be seeing, "If you or a loved one, even one that's passed and had a Covid Vaccine, you may be due substantial compensation...."
“Since most people don't have any knowledge of history, many more people died during previous epidemics.”
You fail to appreciate the significant medical advancements that have been made since those epidemics.
Thank god those brave office workers at MSDH got the vaccine shot instead of the elderly in nursing homes
@3:46 PM - Exactly! When Gov. Reeves and others compare Mississippi to Alabama and Louisiana regarding face mask mandates and the number of CV19 cases, they conveniently omit any discussion that mentions the differences in populations and the number of urban areas in those states.
Long live liberal Kingfish and his minions on their daily Jihad over Covid. Nevermind the Gubners of new york and Caleefornia and other liberal bastions shutting their states down because of spikes. Enjoy Times Square. Oh wait nobody allowed there. The JJ liberal illuminati reigns supreme.
3:55 you ever been to Issaquena County?
Or Sharkey, Perry, Green?
I don't know which four counties are not included in the mask mandate, but I'd bet on Issaquena, and can probably name the other three given a few misses. (Wilkinson, Amith, Sharkey, Green woule be on my early lists)
4:17 - Keep waiting. Why would I waste my time on an attention seeker like you?
Lack is masks is not the issue. Kids in the teens and 20s partying every night and then bringing it home to mom and dad and grandparents is the issue.
Never take the word of MSM at face value. One local station reported in the 6PM Sunday newscast that over 195,000 Mississippians had died from COVID thus far. (I shit you not). They never retracted it.
Man, are we tough or what? At least two rustics on this thread are going to beat up anyone who asks them why they’re not wearing a mask. I hope they both work at Tractor Supply in Hazlehurst.
I think 2:45 gets the award for cramming the most political/social hot buttons into two short paragraphs:
Barack Obama (just his name is sufficient to inflame passions)- check
Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")- check
"death panels" - check
healthcare reform - check
Medicare reform - check
rural poor v. everyone else - check
misreporting of COVID-related deaths - check
maskers v. anti-maskers - check
racism - check
classism - check
more racism - check
It's almost like a troll farm fed a bunch of propaganda points into a computer, which then spit out an online comment.
Alabama? Well, me and my Ginny ate at a sit down seafood restaurant in my hometown of Bayou La Batre just about 3 weeks ago. Full capacity, nobody, not even the wait staff wearing a mask. Well, me and Ginny, we were wearing our masks. I thought they'd at least put a mask on the life size cardboard standing Nick Saban in the corner.
Years ago I enjoyed finding tough guys like 4:17 driving on I-55 and taunting them until they dared me to meet them at some truck stop. They would identify their truck and when I showed up with a couple of car loads of friends to laugh at them they'd make lots of threats and a few of the wannabe badasses pulled guns but luckily they weren't so stupid they would fire. Their are plenty of tough talkers around who think they impress someone other than themselves.
@ 8:30 PM
What penalty would you like to see assigned to those who violate your mask mandate?
A single death is a tragedy; 4490 are merely a statistic - paraphrasing Comrade Stalin.
Take note, Fauci took the Moderna NOT the Pfizer.
I have to wonder why people are commenting on a fake news story about a fake pandemic that was gone by March...wait, April...wait, May...well, after the election...no, wait...
For those idiots - this is real. After 3-4000 hours - yeah, 80-90-100-plus hours a week over the last 40 or so weeks - dealing with this while hearing from morons, fuck it. If we can figure some way it will only kill the dumbasses, OPEN IT UP! For the rest, please, please, just do the few simple things, like wearing a mask, distancing, washing you hands, etc. Pretty please?
Well, anyway, merry motherfucking Christmas.
@8:46 sounds like you think you’re the tough guy. out looking for trouble, trying to arrange fights with people then showing up with your little gang to protect you. I bet you didn’t say you’d be happy to meet them at a truck stop and you’re also bringing x number of friends. Cowardly move.
8:46 p.m.: If someone pointed a stainless .45 at you on I-55 about 11 years ago, it was loaded and you could very well have gotten shot, had you not slammed on the brakes and let me get away from you. And no, I wasn't even considering pulling over and meeting you for a fight.
Does anyone ever think of the “we’re all gonna die anyway” poster as The Angel of Death?
Food for thought. I mean, it’s just there almost gleefully pointing out that we’re all going to die.
"Take note, Fauci took the Moderna NOT the Pfizer". I'm betting it was saline.
"Does anyone ever think of the “we’re all gonna die anyway” poster as The Angel of Death?" Think he/she is stating many folks feel they have control over when and how they will die. None of us have that type of control. I learned at an early age, rather quickly, I did not have that control so I gave up worrying about it.
Death is part of life. Only the faithless fear it. One way or the other death is only an exit from this existence to another. The lack of faith by the individual doesn't change these truths. I suggest you make peace with these truths, or you can continue to live in fear.
The pale horse is riding; next up--disease X
Even Drudge is reporting on the lack of recourse on vaccine injury claims
HERE
8:48 - People say I don’t have a faith yet I am not faithless. I am also not afraid. I just don’t find pleasure killing other people... I go every day with my mask to my job, in which I have close contact with dozens of people. I go shopping for groceries, use countless shopping opportunities on the net. I do not go to parties or restaurants. Some see that as punishment/prison/lack of freedom. I disagree. Countless new recipes to cook, books to read, movies to stream. Exercise equipment wants to be used, too. Zoom and Meet keep me connected to my loved ones. So, please stop portraying everyone who disagrees with you as faithless or scared. We are fine. We just don’t agree with you.
8:48 We can't avoid death altogether, but we certainly can do things to postpone it. That is why we have laws regarding DUI, murder, pollution, dangerous drugs, seatbelts, childhood vaccinations, etc. It is also why we have spent so much time and effort over the centuries developing treatments for things that can kill us. Why do you think physicians have always been one of the most respected professions throughout history?
Inevitability of something is not a reason to simply give up all hope and do nothing at all. Postponement of the inevitable can be a good thing for society and for the individuals if you can let yourself think beyond today.
8:48 must have hit a few nerves. One says they have faith, but neglected to say in what. With a quick pivot, comes in with a passive/aggressive move indicating 8:48 wanted to kill someone. How that came into play is a mystery. Then for some reason begins to describe their daily activities proving, what?
The other listed laws passed by men and men. If you can't see that these laws were passed for fear of death, I don't know what to tell you. The fact that doctors/men were respected for the perceived notion that they somehow postponed death requires you to be simple-minded. Do doctors defeat death, people die in hospitals every day. So, you tell me.
Death is certain, the only question is the timing. Is the Christian Bible correct when it says that death is an appointment with the time being known only by our creator? The Bible made this claim many years ago, can you disprove it?
If your Christian bible says that “death is an appointment with the time being known only by our creator”, then why do people go to the doctor at all? Why do they start cancer treatment, why do parents bring their children to the pediatrician, why do they want everything done in their last days, tubes, catheters, resuscitation, instead of signing a DNR instead of waiting peacefully at home for their appointment? Are these people all non-Christians? Or are they all Christians who don’t believe enough or correctly? How about baby proofing your house? Maybe your baby was meant to but her little finger into the electrical outlet? Telling your teen to buckle up in the car? Maybe they were meant to die in that accident? What are you doing?
Ecclesiastes 9:11 - 11 I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning, nor favor to the skillful; for time and chance overtake them all.
Time and chance... not predestination
Hahahahaha. Somebody has gotten triggered. It would appear your dispute, or problem isn't with me and the questions you raised. Your problem is with the Bible. I didn't put that in the Bible, neither did I put in the many other things that support it. The teachings of the Bible are plain for those who earnestly seek the truth and for some reason I don't think you are looking for truth. You are asking questions only the creator and the individual know the answer to.
Now then, as for what I'm doing I'm handling a snake. It was a snake that tempted Eve in the garden and you made an attempt to have me sin by passing judgment on people I don't know. So, now what are you doing?
Please excuse me Kingfish, I didn't intend for this to become a Bible study.
@11:54, 80-100 hour weeks? Holy shit, that’s a lot of Tik-Tok videos of you twerking over a patient on a vent. God help you man!
Ecclesiastes 9:11 doesn't mean what you think it does.
Here's my $0.02 on the theological discussion: God gave us brains, knowledge, science, and healthcare professionals. I believe he intends for us to use them.
You are partly correct. What you said wasn't worth the $0.02 and healthcare professionals are an invention of man, on those two you are wrong. You are correct in that all wisdom and knowledge flow from the creator.
God also gave a measure of faith to all mankind and a heart to believe. What are you doing with those?
Kind of full of yourself, 10:14, aren't you? Perhaps you have been endowed by the Creator with more than a fair share of knowledge and wisdom, for the purpose of illuminating our folly to the rest of us. Or perhaps, as I suspect, the following describes you well:
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
Carry on with your snake handling.
-8:31
So as soon as I ask questions I am labeled as triggered. Well, better than burned on the stake. The methods of the blind believers got modernized. What is still the same is their discomfort if they see someone not blindly believing...
Is Kingfish letting the Bible study continue? Alright then. What I was full of was banana pudding. Very good, from scratch, banana pudding.
No that really wouldn't describe me well at all. You don't learn at the Master's feet with a haughty spirit. What it takes is desire mixed with a healthy dose of humility and the leadership of the Spirit. If you were to see me in a public setting I wouldn't be drawn to your attention.
The Kingfish has been very gracious and I thank him for it.
