MEMA Director Contracts Covid-19

2,746 new cases

First Consul Tate Reeves announced a new round of Covid-19 restrictions at a press conference he is holding right now.  It is streamed below.


 

Governor Reeves said there is a "tremendous Covid-19 spread" around the country.  He said there will be a new posture.  He urged everyone to mask up and stay away from large gatherings.  Indoor social gatherings are limited to 10 people indoors and 50 people outdoors. 

 Masks are required in schools where social distancing is not possible.   

Indoor sports venues for K-12 extracurricular events will be limited to the lesser of four spectators per student participant or 250 ticketed spectators. Other indoor arenas will be limited to the lesser of ten percent seating capacity or 1,000 attendees. 

The Governor warned he would step up enforcement and eliminate elective procedures if the pandemic does not improve. 

 The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 2,746 new cases today and 24 deaths between December 4 and 8.  There are 4,041 total Covid-19 deaths in Mississippi. However, the real concern is hospital capacity. The big chart tells the grim story. 


 State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said nursing home workers and residents will get the first vaccines in Mississippi.

If the governor is serious about leading on this issue, then he needs to announce the cancellation of the Christmas parties he has been planning.

How is this possible if he was wearing the mask?

he's a 'do as i say' not a 'do as i do' kind of leader.

governor's christmas parties are more important than ours anyway. why should we get together in a pandemic? lawmakers need their free booze, food, and whatever the sun and sand used to do to get by...

Why must we continue to do the same things the same way and expect a different outcome? The mask does not work to protect from this disease. Los Angeles has been under a mask mandate for months and their Covid cases are skyrocketing. The first thing the covidiots will say is that no one is wearing their mask. That is not so. It is estimated that %95 of citizens are following the mask, distancing, and limit on gathering mandates. These things are not working.

Face coverings help prevent him from spreading it. To be most effective, the face coverings have to be universal. Too many freeDUMB trumpTARDS walk around leaving clouds full of their sputum and saliva for others to breath and to collect on the face coverings that are being reused and worn far too long. The problem is the same as it always is. The problem is willfully ignorant Mississippians.

If you think there is a 95% compliance rate with mask and distance protocols in L.A. , I have some ocean front property in New Mexico to sell you.

@3:25pm - An estimated 95% chance your statistics are bullshit. See? I can do it too.

Wear a mask. Avoid large indoor gatherings (Church, House Parties, Sports). Its really not that hard.

Virus gonna virus...it doesn't give a rip about your protective measures

3:25. You are exactly right. Unless it an N95, a mask will only reduce your output of aerosol not eliminate it. So most masks are of limited value.

According to what I've read, 90% of cases in the USA are from when people eat, drink, or sing in the same room.

If we would avoid restaurants, bars, singing in church, and stay home if we feel a little sick, Covid-19 would not be overwhelming our health care right now.

But...I want to eat in a place Friday night, drink my beer while I watch SEC football on Saturday, sing loudly on Sunday, and I'll be at work on Monday unless I can't get out of bed..

And let's face it: pandemic. A million or more people may die in the USA, with 4-5 million in the rest of the world. It sucks-but pandemics happen and people die.

I haven't stopped living. 2020 has been a great year. Incredible uncrowded beach vacation, weekly discovery of new restaurants via take out dining, great performances of music (live and recorded) streamed right to my house, expanded online shopping and mostly empty stores for in person shopping, getting together with friends and family in backyards, and the list goes on and on...it's been amazing.

2021-I'll keep wearing the mask. I'll get the vaccine when I can. And I'll watch even less news networks. Give that a try in 2021. You may be happier for it...

He said the guest protocol was being changed to meet his new guidelines.

Why are you bitter ?

Did you not receive an invitation ?

During the next governor's race, anyone who runs against Reeves will bring up his private parties, the piecemeal approach to face masks (now at 61 of the 82 counties - thank goodness Sharkey and Issaquena counties are safe), dismissing physicians as "so-called experts" because he knows what is best for us, etc. One can just imagine the political commercials with Reeves dressed as Nero.

Whether you voted for Trump or not (I voted for Trump), most agree that Trump lost the presidential election because of his mishandling of the pandemic with mixed messages and misinformation. Could Reeves face a similar situation?

Aisle B Bach said...

@4:46 yeah cuz...that virus hates it some Christians...only places it is terrified to enter are Walmart, Kroger etc...oh and mostly peaceful riots and looting...virus won't go near them...I will also continue to go to church...faith over fear...but you do you, k?

PS I already had it...so there's that

3:25 - how naïve. Do you honestly believe that 95% of the people of LA are wearing a mask and social distancing? I doubt you could say that about any large metropolitan area much less LA.

Anonymous said...

OK, so if masks don't work and COVID is spreading uncontrolled I guess the only thing left to do is shut businesses down where people can gather. Bars, nightclubs, restaurants, churches, shopping, everything.

You can't stop people from being stupid and going over to each other's houses, but you can take away as many options as possible.

Reeves has no club. Won’t recognize him as our governor. He preaches social distancing and not attend large gatherings but yet he wants his parties. Can’t respect this guy. He cares nothing for our state or country. Whether you’re democratic or republic, you can’t criticize someone when you haven’t done a fucking thing since you’ve been in office.

Where's any comment about the MEMA Director.

I don't know whether Tate has a club. It's apparent, however, that he doesn't have a 'clue'.

Finally a new hearing impaired sign language person that looks neat and has clean hair.

Naïve? I was told in no uncertain terms that the liberal shitholes were centers of education and enlightenment that always followed the "science". Only uneducated uncouth rednecks didn't follow the "science". Mask work to limit the virus the same way a screen door limits the wind. You talking about gullible, you liberals take the cake. You continue to scream that the same useless measures are working when the number of covid cases continue to rise nation wide. A vaccine or herd immunity will stop this, nothing else.

Anonymous said...

Y'all throw around "herd immunity" without knowing how it really works. Do some research. Do you want to kill off your parents, other seniors, the ill, so that you can survive? It's the Darwin method.

"Herd immunity" became a buzz word early on, and is thrown around by the ignorant.

Shame on the Guv said...

I have been neutral so far in regards to Gov. Tate, but allowing these Christmas parties is very irresponsible and hypocritical.

Anonymous said...

If trying to look like a teenager isn't enough reason to not take this guy seriously...Then Christmas parties, state fairs, rodeos and attending unmasked, group gatherings in DC are sufficient.

But...Merry Merry from Delbrick's family to yours! (another contribution to Supertalk for Shad to consider)....

If you're scared of killing grandma or whatever, please stay home and do not attend any of Tate Reeve's Christmas parties (not that you were invited anyway).

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.
