What a load. Tate says he expects Mississippians to do what is right and safe. Says even if it is legal it may not be wise. What demographic does he think he's talking to? Dr. Dobbs said there is community transmission which means contact tracing is ineffective. If we as a society can't socially distance enough during a stay-at-home order to get the spread under control why in the world would he even remotely think we will do so when nonessential activities are opened up?

We're doing our best to prove as correct the naysayers that portray Mississippians as generally ignorant. We've earned our place at the bottom of the trash heap.

If only this governor didn't have to make his position correlate with the zig-zag rantings of our goofy president. He could actually make some intelligent decisions. Trying to make sense of Trump is a full time job.
His team of experts will probably be alcoholics when this thing is over.

Calm down Karen. We can’t destroy the American economy while a flu-like illness targets the elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions.

Tate has a degree from Millsaps, we are going to be OK.

I was a never tater. Crazy thing is, he is doing better than expected. He is doing better than past Mississippi Governors handled Yellow Fever and other pandemics.

Some of you people don't seem to understand that the worst possible coronavirus scenarios were made into the movies Contagion (2011) as well as Outbreak (1995)

This is an extremely mutagenic virus. Any vaccine could be rendered useless in weeks. It can't be stopped. This is the new Al Qaeda and the new ISIS. The next mutation could be an unstoppable 48 hour killer. This is serious people. It ain't new.

You can question Climate Change theories (I Do) but you can't question that the elites have salivated over a way to reduce the global population and empty their cities since their ancestors witnessed the Bubonic plague centuries ago.

Finally, wearing masks will help defeat their facial recognition AI. Walmart hates mask wearers. Embrace wearing big sunglasses and masks with crazy abstract prints.

Serious question: When people say "get the spread under control" what the hell do they actually mean?

We can stay at home and the spread will be slow, but it won't be "under control". We'll commit economic suicide and ruin our children's lives, but the virus will continue to spread. And it will accelerate the instant we start returning to work.

So for those of you who advocate some indeterminate amount of further isolation, answer this:

What exact event or threshold are you waiting for?

It can't be a vaccine, as that's a year and one Mega-Great Depression away if we maintain strict isolation. If it's even possible.

It can't be contact tracing. We're past that point because too many people have it.

It might be fear of overwhelming hospitals, except that hasn't happened anywhere, and isn't close to happening in Mississippi.

So what, then? If we know this virus is going to kill people (overwhelmingly elderly, sick people), what is the specific justification for hiding in our houses going broke while that happens?

Whoa! I didn’t think about the thwarted facial recognition. Wear your masks!

Did anyone notice a few AK-47's at the Michigan protest ?

The liberal/progressives had no clue what they were watching.
I honestly heard some Hystericall chick screaming "They have some of those AR-15 assault rifles".

Laughing my ass off.

@7:41, I only get excited if I see something rare like an FN FAL or a FAMAS. I have a Daewoo K2 and and it also turns heads.

AR-15s and Kalashnikov patern rifles (Nobody has a real AK47) are so common and lame.

@7:41.

People who know guns would laugh at you gun control advocates because you know so little about guns and openly say stupid things.. but they aren't laughing because you're passing laws against guns under stupid premises that's rooted in your image of guns and not reality. You probably think an Uzi can blow up a tank, that's how stupid you are.

I'll give you 1 good reason why somebody needs an "Assault Rifle" With the food shortage getting worse, hunters need a rifle to shoot their pray. As people get hungrier and hungrier, they will need an ArmaLite rifle or something else to make sure they can get their prey home.

The longer we are STFH, the worse off our food supply is going to get. The real damage we have caused is not visible yet and won't be for weeks after we open up. But the longer this goes on, the more people are going to realize just how valuable and important it really is to own a couple of guns.

When social distancing is required at Walmart I might have a little more respect for all of the other silly restrictions our leaders pontificating and shoving down our throats. Maybe if social distancing and limiting shoppers from the get go was enforced at Wally World our curve would be lower. The spread would have slowed. Has been a free for all at Walmart since we started quarantine. Same thing goes for pharmacies. Never slowed down.

It’s time to open up. Small businesses are dying. We are adults. We have the ability to decide if going to a bar or to a salon is worth the risk. Owners of small businesses have the ability to decide if the risk is worth it for them to reopen. Let’s be big boys and girls. We all have a responsibility to be prudent, but the world doesn’t stop for a bad virus. Neither does rent. We have a clue about corona that we didn’t have six weeks ago. Testing has ramped up and two known effective paths of drug treatment are available. If you’re overweight, have high blood pressure, COPD, diabetes, or cancer... over 70.... probably not a good idea to be running out and socializing at church, bingo or at the local dollar store. Much less having the family over to visit or a potluck spread.

Just sayin. Wake up, sheeple. Stay home if you want to. The rest of us are ready to get back to living again.#rantover

@9:01 PM - "...no nobody a real AK-47..." Bwa, ha, ha.

I brought two back from Clinton's Balkan's war.

ATF - If you are reading this, ESAD.

There is another virus spreading around here. STUPIDITY

The lower the curve, the longer the wait. We have not done enough to spread the virus and thus may have to wait 20-25 years for a vaccine.

Like the war on terrorism, the war on drugs, and the war on poverty, there is no incentive for the government to win.

I predict many of you will be infected by another redneck without a mask. Hope you survive.

@11:50. Gee, they only have like a 99.7% of survival. I hope they make it.

Masks are the new toilet paper for Karens.

@7:24 You do understand the virus is contagious, right? You may think it is worth the risk to get a haircut or go out nightclubbing because you are generally healthy and getting COVID won't hurt you, but what about those who you pass it on to?

That is why we need an experienced, trustworthy group of experts on infectious diseases and economics to evaluate the risk and the potential damage to our critical systems. Some things are going to require tolerating higher risk like protecting our food supply chain from the farmers to the markets. Other things like sports venues, movie theaters, and spas should be tightly controlled until it is determined to be adequately safe to start them back up.

A life is a life and is very precocious. What we are willing to deliberately sacrifice them for is very telling about our morality. Keeping the food supply reliable is absolutely necessary for the survival of our nation. Going to the bar to get a beer with all your buddies who don't take any precautions whatsoever to prevent getting infected is not.

So just keep everything closed indefinitely so no one dies of anything

gotcha

@2:50 Who said everything had to be closed? Straw man at its best.
