It's been six weeks since the CDC Director engaged in a whinefest on national tv as she warned of "impending doom" from Covid-19. An emotional Dr. Rochelle Walensky cried out at a March 29 briefing:
I'm going to pause here. I'm going to lose the script, and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom. We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope. But right now I'm scared....
I'm speaking today not necessarily as your CDC director - not only as your CDC director but as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter to ask you to just please hold on a little while longer.
Watch for yourself.
So..... what has happened in the last six weeks?
The average daily Covid-19 deaths declined from 3.01 deaths per day on March 29 to 1.87 deaths per day on March 13. There were 1,328 deaths on March 26 (March 29 reported deaths for Sunday, which is usually lower). There are 501 deaths on Mary 15 - a 64% drop in Covid-19 deaths since Dr. Walensky warned of "impending doom."
The moving seven-day average fell from 1,004 deaths to 580 deaths, a decrease of 42%.
What about hospitalizations? The CDC speaks for itself.
Doomsday is here.

How about the Imperial College's claim in 03/2020 of 2.2 M dead Americans if we did nothing? and 1.1 M dead Americans if we enacted some mitigation measures? All by July 4th 2020!!!!!!!
Talk about emotional manipulation.....
She is a poster child for a snowflake progressive bureaucrat. If there is no longer a "crisis," create one, while the MSM hangs onto every word.
The only doom in our future is that created by the Marxists in the White House/Executive Branch.
More nonsense from the hysterical liberal left.
I thought the beginning of baseball season was going to be the start of body bags and mass graves.
What a joke.
Gosh, you could almost look at the graph and draw some correlation between time spent outside in the sun and chances of catching a fatal case of covid. Nah, better follow the science. CDC woulda told me if sunshine and exercise were good for my immune system, surely.
Um, there was a surge last summer.
I am in my 60's and met a man in his 30's last summer who commented, "I told my sons, 'America was not founded based upon fear.'" Wise beyond his years.

How does this compare to the yearly flu deaths for
Comparison. Really asking not just trolling.
KF, MS National Guard Officers Convention was first group to use the new convention center in Flowood this weekend. Smashing success. I don’t see how we ever have it in Jackson again with this great venue.
We should be pleased that the worse case scenario predicted,has to date NOT occurred. Instead of being disparaging and mean spirited toward those who take/took the virus seriously and remain fearful and cautious,we should be thankful that God has granted us a measure of grace. We should be careful not to dismiss or take it for granted.
Despite our best efforts most people survived and will continue to do so. Still don't buy the total number of so called direct Covid deaths.
Um, look at the size of it. It was tiny. Look at the winter surge. Huge!
Kingfish doesn’t truly believe in freedom of speech. Thus this blog is no different than the left-coast phonies.
KF, if you truly believe in the First Amendment, then quit censoring comments you don’t agree with. Otherwise, you’re no better than MSNBC and CNN.
Vaccination and previous infection immunity. Most logical explanation. Success for all except for the doomsayers.
Your comment wasn't approved because you felt the need to invoke Trump. Some people just insist on injecting presidents or former presidents into every thread. Such is not allowed at JJ. I rejected countless comments when Obama was president. The post could be about a football game yet someone would try to work Obama into it. Same thing with Trump. Unless Trump is the subject of the post, such comments usually are not allowed. Don't like it, go to the JFP and see how far you get. Go to Mississippi Today. Oh, that's right, they abolished comments last week. You can always go to the Facebook pages of WLBT, WJTV, WAPT, and the Clarion-Ledger, of course.
@9:25pm I've had KF censure some of my comments, and upon further reflection - I pretty much deserved it. Now that MississppiNoWay.org stopped allowing comments (due to the connected and powerful cutting their access off unless they did so) this blog is the only bastion of free speech left in Mississippi.
KF - you should post those numbers you have from time to time about the number of statewide viewers per site in Mississippi. JJ is one of the most often read by far because of all the greasy good stuff that IS allowed.

The average flu deaths in the US is 36000 per year.
If you think about it, those who live, like we do, in less densely populated States are less likely to be exposed as we are in contact with fewer people generally in our daily lives and in more open spaces.
In Mississippi, we aren't in skyscrapers packed in elevators or high rise apartments or taking taxis or mass transportation.
And if you travel to various States and observe the goings and comings of those around you, the disconnect between urban and rural voters becomes easier to understand.
KF, if you recall what was occurring in March in Europe with the virus and that getting vaccinations here was more problematic in some States than others, it's clear the differences in vaccinations and whether our vaccines would be effective against mutations was unknown. Thank the Lord for giving gifting scientists with the extraordinary abilities to develop these vaccines!
CDC has changed their views as verifiable information arrives on their desks.
I wish those who thought CV 19 was a "nothing" would do the same and admit over 500000 deaths ( not considering "long haulers" disabilities) is a far cry from the 36000 ordinary flu deaths with next to zero long term disability.
We used to have a better understanding in this country that " one size doesn't fit all"...that our personal experiences and priorities weren't the same in every nook and cranny of this Nation. I suspect that was in part because our men , at least, served in the military and with rare exception met more people from other places and by necessity, lived in other places.
When that happens, you appreciate that sometimes, others can find a better way to "skin a cat" or have cause to do things differently.
We've become a nation of "right fighters" and that is NOT psychologically healthy!
CDC = Communist Disease Consortium
Could it be that being locked down was part of the problem. Most contract tracing show familial and shared abodes as the common vector. While being outside in fresh air and sunlight seems to be the safest place. Will we see an uptick when temperatures spike and people retreat into their air conditioning?
Get your sun, stay outdoors, take zinc, vit D3, vit c, and turmeric. You should be fine. If you do feel the onset, find a doctor that will give you ivermectin or other therapeutics.
