Getting kinda old and stale, but, the sheep and closet queens are happy being scared to death. Never going away and will always be there to end the world as we know it.

All that really matters are the vent rates (up, down, or sideways) as it shows how we re able to handle the load and the antibody results, showing how many in the community have been infected. PCR rates don't mean diddly.

2:28 Maximizing the death rate at the point just before hospitals get overloaded is not a humane policy. What we need to do is find the balance where we are saving as many people as possible while not killing the economy. There are some risky activities than can be curtailed without causing significant economic harm.

The only thing being restricted at this point is large gatherings. Let's run with this for a while and see where we are, particularly after students go back to class.

Italian Doctor saying the virus is weakening and no longer a major threat. Other Doctors say maybe not.

Yes, those large gatherings to loot, burn, and vandalize should probably have been cancelled. They rant, they scream, they trash things, and of course, the thing that set them off will be yesterday’s news soon. Yes, it was a terrible thing, but...mass riots, at such close range? Madness, idiocy, irresponsibility. I wish only the protesters would cross-infect each other, but they will carry it back to a wider circle. Those impassioned morons could have stayed home and vented their spleen on FB just as well. Would have had about the same impact, in the end.

If I want the best military or police uniforms on the planet, I look to Italy. Not so much for medical advice.

I just love Italy. I'm ready for this pandemic to end so I can return and forget for a time, that Jackson, MS even exists.

The number of Mississippi deaths is crazy. Tennessee has over twice our population yet has half the number of deaths. Alabama has 2/3 more people and 100 fewer of deaths. Arkansas has about the same population but only a fifth of the number of deaths. What is going on? Our death rate is 2 to 5 times higher than our neighboring states. I know we're dead last as far as health goes, but it shouldn't be that much different.

Louisiana has a much higher death rate, but that is because of the outbreak after Mardi Gras infected New Orleans and the surrounding areas. Louisiana is the example of why large gatherings need to be very limited until this is under control.

Monday numbers. 403k Tests. 16k Positive. More than 2 million tests in the last 5 days.

Here's a question:

If there are 15,792 cases but only 9401 recoveries, do we have 6,391 people with Covid 19 that are hospitalized or are they impaired so not fully recovered?

Anonymous said...

7>47, The presumed recovered number is 11,203. The number was apparently updated since KF made his post.

From the website:

Presumed recovered if
1) It has been 14 days or more since the case tested positive, if they were not hospitalized
2) It has been 21 days or more since the cast tested positive, if they were hospitalized or hospitalization was unknown.

All deaths are excluded. Presumed recovered counts are updated weekly.

So what you have are 15,752 total cases. 739 have died. 11,203 have made it to either the 14 or 21 day period to be presumed recovered. 418 are in the hospital. And 3,392 are not still within the 14 or 21 day window after testing positive.

Of course the number of people in the public with active COVID infections greatly exceeds the 3,392 number as at least half are asymptomatic and will never get tested while others don't get sick enough to go to the doctor.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
