Big thanks to Robert Foster. I hope he runs again.

Mississippi is doing better, but its not like we are doing well. 18th in the nation for COVID cases and 9th for deaths in the past seven days according to the Washington Post.

Tate should have lifted the mask mandate just for those who have been vaccinated.

We’re all F’ED

2:55 hit it right on the head. no mask mandate for vaccinated people. kept it in place, for now, for unvaccinated people.

watch those numbers go back up...it happened before.

Should we really be following health orders from someone who is at least 50 lbs overweight? I hearby order Tate Reeves to stop stuffing his pie hole.

So Tate allows the change for outdoor stadiums to 50% to start on Friday?? Boy is he going to piss off all of the Golden Eagle fans that want to see the game tomorrow night against the Bulldogs. So when ole miss and state play, 50% and when USM and state play, 25%. Really dumb as there is no science based decision and even dumber politically!!

We’re all over Covid, but Covid ain’t over. Back to licking doorknobs and windows!

Big thanks to Robert Foster. I hope he runs again.

You want to watch him lose again? Odd way to say 'thanks'.

We haven't even had the B117 surge yet. Texas has less than 15% of their population vaccinated.

Yay! No more waiting in the Drive Thru lines, and back to raw dogging air in public.

Can Governor Reeves get Joe Namath the hell off my TV?

Oh come on folks give Tater some credit. Is there anyone who really thinks a mask will protect you from the China virus? If you do you believe wrestling is real and Joe Biden is awesome. Clearly the country is closing in on herd immunity. But there are some who would have us believe it will never be over or safe, and that lock downs should stay in place forever or as long as it suits their agendas. Enough is enough! America is on the verge of industrial collapse and its time to shut down the shut downs. Open it all and force the communist Chinese to pay for the damages and lose of life. Nuff said

Can DeSantis be our Governor too?

3:05, I know some question the value of a Golden Eagle's education, but don't they still qualify as a college, not a K-12 institution? From reading the post above (Havent listened to the press conference) it says the seating capacity is for K-12 events.

And what the hell did Robert Foster have to do with this, or any other actions taken here, except to show his ignorance and arrogance?

How dumb can it get! Hopefully most businesses will maintain the best practices recommend by health care officials.

What the hell is meant by 'raw doggin air in public'? Askin' for half the blog page or more.

The way I read and heard this, it is politic talk for no real change.

Can someone sue Chickfala if They get Covid while working in a packed restaurant?

"So Tate allows the change for outdoor stadiums to 50% to start on Friday?? Boy is he going to piss off all of the Golden Eagle fans"

Piss off all of the Golden Eagle fans ?
(What, all 200 of them ?)

At least Ole Miss & State can fill up a major stadium even in a bad year.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Hattiesburg, along with ESPN . . . and the "USM fans" can't even sell-out a 35K seat little stadium on Highway 49.

Hey 2:55 and 3:00 pm, what about the folks that have had covid and recovered? There's no reason for us to wear masks either. I'm just as immune to covid, or more so, than those that have received the vaccination. I'm just sayin'.

You sheep keep wearing masks !!! If the Federal government told yall to sleep in them yall would!!! Masks DO NOT WORK !!!

Who is Robert Foster?

I work at UMMC and have been fully vaccinated but I will continue to wear a mask in public. Just because I don't have symptoms doesn't mean that I won't accidentally become a carrier and infect someone.

2 weeks to slow the curve.

Don't worry. Fat Boy and the guy in the wheelchair may not be doctors, but they know better than them eggheads.

"Well, heck, Bubba. Dummy may have lost us the White House, the Senate, and the House, but we is a gonna double down on stewpid. Just like Texass."

Tater must have been in Cancun and then got promised a Secretary of Stupidity job by the Donald at CPAC.

It's a sure thang.

Common sense has ceased to be common. COVID is not contained, everyone has not been vaccinated, new strains are on the rise. Numbers of new cases are understandably down, given that testing is down. Governor Reeves is merely following/adhering to the political party line established at the onset of the pandemic. Additionally, as far as leadership goes, he is not original in his thinking or policy implementation...he is merely doing what other similarly politically affiliated governors are doing, or have been advised to do. Greg Abbot of Texas made a similar announcement today. As individuals, we must decide to use good judgement in this situation. We/our families are the ones who will suffer if we don't.

@4:16 I was in the emergency room for several hours back in October with my uncle at St. Dominic. Very few of the nurses and doctors wore masks. This was obviously before the vaccine. I wore a mask, because only one person could come in with the patient, they made me wear a mask, and made me answer the checklist. But they were unconcerned when I took it off several times.

4:35, no - you obviously miss the point that was made in the beginning of the COVID crap. The restrictions on gatherings, masks, etc were all to avoid overwhelming the hospital systems, not to absolutely prevent the spread of the disease. As the facts easily show, the hospitalizations, the ICUs, etc are all now well within their capacity to operate which was not the case a year ago, or two months ago.

Now, reasonable precaustions should be taken, but not mandates that shut down the economy or further damage individual businesses. The medical system is not overwhelmed, it can handle those that get sick.

But - you don't like Tate. Hell, you just don't like Republicans in general. That's ok, your right. The facts though are that the decisions are being made based on many considerations, particularly the ability of the system to deal with them.

Can’t be outdone by Texas by damn!

Y'all hold mah mask and watch this!

Hot dayuum, just in time get the light bump and jump started before Easter and Spring Break!

Purely political move that will put lives in harms way. This is like taking a victory lap at the end of the third quarter.

What absolute idiocy by Tate Reeves.

@3:37 is so off base. His information is so wrong. Back it up, 3:37 - cite your journal articles.

Hey 3:59 Tell that to my friend and his wife who have both had Covid, not once but TWICE. They both hate the mask and refuse to wear one. They both got Covid back in June. They got over the virus, thought they were immune to getting it again, and refused to wear the mask. Late fall they again get the virus.

What is he going to do in 30 days, when we have a surge in cases from this totally asinine political move.
Provisions should be placed in the Covid-19 relief bill, that if you governor is a dumbass, you should not get any funds.

Very Brave of Governor Reeves to do this and help save us from the Democrat and Globalist Great Reset

"I was in the emergency room for several hours back in October with my uncle at St. Dominic."

I can relate.

Saint "D" hasn't been what it once was for decades now.

I sat in the St."D" Emergency Room with my elderly Father (who had a rare blood disorder). His blood was leaking out of every orifice.

Gross I know, but a meth couple with neck tat's and a butt pimple took priority.

But the St.Dominic "security guards" remain focused on smoking in the parking garage.

Note to everyone: you can still wear a mask or five masks. Please do so we can avoid those who feel vulnerable. You can also isolate yourself or coat yourself in latex.

Next multi million dollar idea: make and sell metal lapel pins with a “V” on it. Butler Snow must have told the Tater they finally had their supply ready to sell after the patent came through this morning.

@3:37, I wish you would please explain to us how the United States can force China to do anything. All of our corporations are bending over backward to get into their market to get access to a growing middle class that is already larger than the entire population of the United States. We are soon to be a vassal state of China.

SPRING.

BREAK.

We are governed by fools. You hit a good level (which we have!) and THEN you prolong measures another couple of weeks.

Have we bombed Wuhan yet? I swear those guys have gotten a free pass for their clusterfuck of a year.

Bwahahaaaaaaa!

I give up. If anyone does T.A. In equities, you know what that graph is getting ready to do assuming testing picks back up.

3:55 is talking about events from about 20 years ago. Dude needs to go back to studying for his GED.

I nominate 3:30 for post of the day.

Tate Reeves take's the cake as the most stupid governor that this state has ever seen Just like his Trump, his idol, he's putting lives at risk

@6:28 - this is the most intelligent post in this thread. There is no opinion here - either the Wuhan is going away (probably not a chance in hell) or the lines are about to go straight back up.

#TATEReeves2023!

Ole Miss and State can fill up a major stadium. Hjahahahahahahah. Major? Ha. And even those piss ant stadiums only get filled with opposing teams fans. Thank the stars you joined the SEC a hunert years ago.

"...I'm a numbers guy..." To be a "numbers guy" can he show us the math(s) he used in his decision? The ones that show total vaccinations, per capita rate, positivity rates, herd immunity statistics? Any math other than his date on his degree reception date? Geeesd, dumb sob believes his own brand of pure Bolshevik.

OK, let's step back and look at this with cooler heads. Yeah, the mask mandate is going to end. In reality, I doubt we notice much of a difference.

Pretty much every national chain is going to require a mask. Some cities will require them although let's face it, they don't enforce the mandates. Most, if not all, health care providers are going to require masks. I don't see the Medical and Dental boards backing off their protocols any time soon. Restaurants are still going to be terrified of getting shutdown by an outbreak so quite a few of them will probably still require them although quite a few of them won't.

The numbers are dropping nationwide. The vaccine probably has something to do with it. This virus is going to run around as the cold or flu viruses do. It's a coronavirus. We aren't going to beat it or wipe it out. The vaccines hopefully mitigate it so society can function normally again.

I understand why many are criticizing the Governor. I really do. If in two months there has been no spike or increase, are you prepared to admit it turned out ok? Is the other side prepared to admit it if it turns out to be the wrong decision?

Geeesd, dumb sob believes his own brand of pure Bolshevik.

Consider yourself lucky to be anonymous. Having to actually attach a name to continual tripe you deposit here would be so embarrassing for you.

Freedom!

This guy is asking the real questions.

Raw doggin’ is slang for sexual intercourse without a rubber (condom/protection). I presume the scholar that made the raw doggin air comment meant he was excited to once again be able to f**k some air with his mouth in public without his face condom. Thanks Taturr

Tell you what Antaarrrddd, when you can get your walking co-morbidity 'content creator' McRib Robinson to drop 100 pounds maybe then we'll listen to a damn thing you have to say relative to the ChiCom virus. Until then, take your mandate and shove it in a leaking water pipe.

@4:16 “I’m using a false appeal-to-authority even though I could be a cardiac nurse, a maintenance guy, a food service tech or janitor, but without being specific, I’ll claim to have witnessed horrors and put an “A Hero Lives Here” sign in my front yard to virtue signal to everyone I know that they should take a virtually untested, DNA reprogramming (per Modernas own site) gene therapy, demon-shot that was promoted and funded by a eugenicist”

If you are interested in mRNA gene modification therapy, this is great reading. Take the time reading, making your own decisions and realize every situation and risk index is different for each person. http://enformtk.u-aizu.ac.jp/howard/gcep_dr_vanessa_schmidt_krueger/

I think the mandate should have remained in place until the vaccine is available to everyone over 18. So only 4/6 more weeks at most.

We have to accept that Covid is going to be around for good. We are going to be able to choose to have a booster vaccine every year. Many Asians wear masks in public year round. People are going to do that. Get used to seeing them.

It’s amazing how much progress has been made in medicine in a year.

Let’s hope we have turned the tide, if we haven’t and we get a spike going into April, we will be able to thank Tater for mandatory quarantines and travel bans if we need to travel to most major cities in the Northeast or West.

The USM folks are (and will always be) jealous of Ole Miss and MSU.

It's in their DNA.

They have no true identity.

They try to project a connection to the Gulf Coast, but Biloxi High School kids snicker at these "Pine Belt" country folk.

Yay yay yay! I can finally throw away my free paper mask I’ve been wearing for 11 months. Or should I stick it back in my purse in case some places still require it?

@KF, 7:40p- Thank God at least you understand this vaccine does NOT immunize against the virus. People sound really dumb claiming they are “protected” from COVID after their two shots. The vaccine simply reduces the possibility of harsh symptoms (by less than 70%.) You will still be able to contract and spread the virus... just a less than 70% chance that you won’t have severe symptoms. You people do realize that a tiny percentage of people have the level of symptoms the vaccine is designed to protect against... and only about 2/3 of them will see the possibility of lesser symptoms, right?? For the large majority of the population, the vaccine appears POINTLESS!

The false sense of security people are finding in this vaccine is ludicrous.

The mask mandate should be lifted.

Those who want or need to do so should still wear masks.

I personally know so many die-hard maskers who have very little germ awareness. The biggest complainers are usually the grossest people.

9:38 - Speaking of USM jealousy, here's a multiple choice quiz for ya.

Which school(s) for decades refused to play the other: Ole Myth, USM, Mithippi Thate. Turn your paper over and leave the room when you've answered.

I had bonus questions about Freeze and MSU's last baseball coach but they wouldn't be approved.

Tater sure knows and practices stupid!

NO ONE will ever truly know what "the numbers" actually were or are....only what has been, and continues to be reported.

The entire C19 exercise did its job by disrupting the American election enough to get away with election fraud and put the American people back in their consumer place with no voice except to spend their money.

And science no longer matters, only what you're told to fear.

almost a year too late, tate

March 2,5:45 PM: "Note to everyone: you can still wear a mask or five masks. Please do so we can avoid those who feel vulnerable. You can also isolate yourself or coat yourself in latex."

Yep. Carry on.

If you look to Tate Reeves for health and safety advice, you are an idiot.

"If in two months there has been no spike or increase, are you prepared to admit it turned out ok? Is the other side prepared to admit it if it turns out to be the wrong decision?"

Hasn't Florida's curve already given us the answer to this question?

The idiocy of the "Y'all Commuh-nists just wear masks if'un u want" is that the masks primarily protect OTHERS. Cletus, that means YOU should wear a mask to protect the "vulnerable," instead of the other way around.

A year later, and the Clown Downers are still stuck on stupid. And selfish.

YOU should be isolated if you don't cooperate in public health measures as YOU are the threat to the immune suppressed and more vulnerable.

And, yes, even YOU are actually vulnerable, but you're too dumb to understand it.

But, if there's any solace in the DeMaskulated's gap toothed appearance, it's that No Mask is the clearest sign of Low IQ and Low Class.

More effective at marking trailer trash than a lifted truck or a doublewide with pitbulls chained to it.

Guy I hired to run a stump grinder at my mansion was an Ole Miss grad. His assistant went to, but didn’t complete school at Mississippi State.

Just saying.

Yall keep forgetting, Tater went to Millsaps...

4:16 I work at UMMC and have been fully vaccinated but I will continue to wear a mask in public. Just because I don't have symptoms doesn't mean that I won't accidentally become a carrier and infect someone.

I am a nurse and I too will continue to wear a mask!

4:53 COVID is not contained, everyone has not been vaccinated, new strains are on the rise. Numbers of new cases are understandably down, given that testing is down. Governor Reeves is merely following/adhering to the political party line established at the onset of the pandemic.

Absolutely. Give it a few weeks and our numbers will increase signficantly, and when they do, Tater is going to be shocked - just shocked.

Tell you what. I'm over all of it. Do as you please. I will politely continue to ask for 6ft. If the response to the request is impolite, I will respond accordingly. After all it's not anyone's responsibility except mine to keep me alive. So....I will do whatever it takes to keep me alive. Whatever it takes.

12:45 We are still waiting on the science to determine if the vaccine reduces the transmission rate, but all indications are it does. Initial studies in England and Israel indicate there could be as much as an 85% reduction in the transmission rate due to vaccinations.

Don't call widespread vaccinations "POINTLESS" just because you don't know for sure if they reduce the spread or not. A simple Google search will provide you with the evidence that they do, we just need more data to validate it.

Masks have not stopped the spread anywhere. The states or countries that didn't have mandates have on average had better results than those that did. There's a year's worth of worldwide data if any of y'all care to look at a damn chart, but based on most of the reactions on here you don't. Most of the masks being worn aerosolize respiratory droplets which makes spread easier. They don't f'ing work.

10:40 I think I'll trust the CDC over social media.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/masking-science-sars-cov2.html

@9:53a- I found your “proof” and it LITERALLY states an “85% reduction in symptomatic COVID-19” in an Israeli hospital staff pool of 7,214. It does state at end of sentence “with an overall reduction of infections.” I wonder why they didn’t give THAT figure? (It’s too low, that’s why.) Also, how many of those hospital personnel have already had the virus? How many times? How many had active antibodies before the shot? ALL of this matters to create an honest picture.

Please tell me you understand that a “symptomatic reduction” does NOT equal a reduction in transmission.

I hope they eventually get it right, but it’s not happening as of yet. My whole statement was based on the false security of the current vaccines. NONE of current manufacturers claim to truly do anything besides possibly reduce symptoms. That’s factual no matter how you spin it.

9:23 wants to passionately convince others that he/she is of the absolute (and only) correct opinion.

Problem is they don't know how to 'talk' to others without resorting to name-calling and belittling those who think differently.

Who does that remind you of?

Biden at the White House said "masks make a difference" and said "the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking."

To call this moronic stunt Neanderthal thinking is an insult to actual Neanderthals.

I agree with the governor this time. We know what to do to stay well and keep others safe. We don't need some government authority to babysit us. No executive order tells me to hold my breath when diving in the pool.

Deja vu. Here we go again. Those who fail to learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it.
