Jackson Jambalaya

I think MS Dept of Health is doing a great job. Much larger states and cities have not been able to handle updating their websites daily with stats, information and school data. I applaud them. Hope we can all come through this soon. Damn, I am so sick of it and heartbroken for so many.

I agree, 3:18pm.

We have our appointments. Made them last week. Just looked at the website. More first shots are available, but the two drive-through sites in the Jackson area are booked again. I think they were for the end of January.

We went to Canton today for our appointment for Moderna. When we got there we were told by the very nice Guardsmen that they were given Pfizer today.

No thanks.

Just noticed Smith-Wills in Jackson has been added to the drive-through sites, but it is now booked up, too.

Abysmal numbers.

Last again.

More dead Mississippians.

Tate gets shot and all his friends do....

It’s gonna come out.

Don't he know this is a holiday day?

I made three drive-through appointments for family members at two different sites today. I failed to print the confirmation for one of the appointments. Does anyone know if there is a way to retrieve that information now? What happens if you show up for an appointment and don't have a printed confirmation? I feel like someone else might have done this or didn't have access to a printer and didn't take a screen shot. Thanks for your help.

5:18pm. Your confirmation should have come as an email to you. If you didn't delete it, you should be able to still print it. You have to have it to get the shot I believe. Good luck.

3:35, why don't you want Pfizer?

5:18, if you don't get a confirmation by email, call 601 965-4071. When automated answer, press 2. Will probably be on hold for five minutes or so, but they can provide you with the patient ID number.

Don't be dumb, Fauci took the Moderna.

Went on line yesterday for our 2nd shot. Philadelphia could take us on the 2nd so we booked it. Printed the confirmations and that was that.

3:35 - Was that for your 1st or 2nd dose?

6:44 PM -- Because only a fool would turn down a vaccine that's statistically as effective as Moderna... and he fits the bill.

If 3:35 is turning down a vaccine for this virus because you don't like the flavor of vaccine, then, my friend, they deserve whatever is coming to them. Go to the end of the line.

@8:23, So true, people lined up to take a Fankenvaccine for a virus with a 99.7 recovery rate should just take whichever is available

11:03, so having one out of every 200 people who catch it die is perfectly acceptable. That's ten times the mortality rate of polio. I'm glad you weren't leading the charge against polio back in the 1950's when having one out of 2,000 kids who caught it die was considered worthy of the most massive public health effort ever. Why bother with trying to save such a miniscule part of society? They probably deserved to die anyway, right?

And COVID disproportionately affects those over the age of 65. Yes, if you are young and healthy you have a really good chance of recovering successfully, but you also will spread it on to others not so fortunate. At some point we need to expect everyone to help get this under control so people can stop living in fear for their health and lives.

We certainly are a different nation than we were after WW2. Nothing but a bunch of selfish people who ask first "what's in it for me". JFK is rolling in his grave. No wonder why America is crumbling before our eyes.

@5:18 and everyone, the confirmatin emails are taking close to 24-hours to arrive. I have no idea why, as the first ones that we received came in just a few minutes.

Here in SC the DEHEC web site runs you in circles trying to find info, no help with the 5 TV stations, they just want to tell you about border states. No info out there to help anyone and because of that rumors are rampant. Publix grocery stores opened up their pharmacy's for vaccines and BOOM booked for all their stores in SC NC GA. Which means their current allotment of vaccines are gone. Sent the Governor an e mail and told him......... well TOLD him get off his ass, we will remember this.

@11:47. Besides your panic and drama would you please use math to show "one out of every 200 people who catch it die". Another question I have is this in America, Mississippi or the world you populate. I wouldn't say, "They probably deserved to die anyway, right?", but, how many would have probably died of other medical or traumatic issues? No one knows that and the so called Covid Related deaths is up for grabs. Anyway, I love numbers and I love to learn, so please show your math.

5:09 If you like numbers, then you should like this article. Infection mortality rate (estimating all infections, not just those that are tested positive) is between 0.5% and 1.0%. That's at least 1 out of 200 and even as high as 1 out of 100. Quality American medical care probably puts us at the lower end of the range.

If you want some local numbers, we have lost 5,574 Mississippians to COVID out of a total population of 2.9 million. About 1/3 of the population has been thought to have had the disease so far according to covid19-projections.com. 5,574 deaths out of 1 million infections is also at least 1 out of 200.

So there's my math. It will be interesting to see if you have any citations that show otherwise.
