Clinton and Entergy traded more licks in their fight over street lamps. The city accused the public utility of ripping off the city by charging monthly fees for street lamps that were built more than 50 years ago and exceeded any reasonable depreciation schedule. Entergy fired back and said it followed the law and any changes could result in rate increases for Clinton customers. Clinton gave it right back to Goliath as it escalated the public relations war.

Covid-19 Alert!
A Covid-19 virus expert posted a very important message on Facebook. Pay attention. This information could keep you from infecting your loved ones.
MD Guest Column: Protect Patients Now
This post is a guest column submitted by a local physician.
Have the hospitals and clinics and physician's offices started setting up screening of their employees before they start work each day? With a loosening of restrictions soon, this should be the first requirement. Most healthcare facilities are staffed (largely) with 22-50 yr old doctors, nurses, clerks and the like. As is well known now, most of this demographic acquire the virus, develop no symptoms, shed the virus, and get over it without symptoms. They are among the great pool of the "healthy" shedding the virus. Most of the patients are in another demographic. They are the vulnerable. This is especially true in orthopedics.
Covid-19 Update: 5,911 Cases, 227 Deaths but Vents & ICU's Drop

virus has caused 227 deaths. The number of patients on ventilators fell to its lowest level in three weeks while the number of patients in ICU beds fell to its lowest level in 12 days, truly a dose of much-needed good news.

Bigger Pie Forum: Herd Mentality
Sometimes there’s safety in numbers. A Cape Buffalo in a herd is less likely to be eaten by lions than a straggler. Sometimes there’s danger. American Indians stampeded herds of Bison over cliffs and butchered the injured and dead. We ordinary Americans seem more like Bison stampeded by experts than Cape Buffalos staring down hungry lions.
