Good to see Madison outpacing Hinds. Will cut down on the troll posts.

Well. Of course the numbers are up. Memorial Day tomfoolery, then those pointless, ranting, group-hug change-the-world-NOW mass riots, with people breathing all over each other...yes, the virus is chuckling quietly, and working its will “without haste yet without rest,” as Goethe said. The worst is yet to come.

COVID has now killed one out of every 1,000 people who live in Lauderdale County. Since Hinds County has only had a tenth of that (per capita), I suspect things are just beginning here. ICUs and vent use is up here now too. Will be a long June and July for the "it's just the flu" crowd.

Is Covid-19 still a thing?

Hey Kingfish, do you know where a guy can get some 9mm ammo for a reasonable price? It's an 8 week wait for $0.25 a round on ammoseek.com and sgammo.com is all sold out.

Something tells me we are about to experience somerhing far worse that Covid-19 and looting basketball shoes.

Looks like the start of the after Memorial Day surge. If this continues the governor won't have any choice but to keep large gatherings down. Say goodbye to college football season.

Yup. Email me.

The biggest disappointment has been the medical community. Instead of just saying we don't know a lot about a new disease they have been guessing and theorizing about how to handle it. Not a knock on scientists just lots of unknowns.. Also at some point can we STOP the stupid back and forth between Hinds and Madison.

1106 so how would you handle the disease in your infinite wisdom? Guess what jack wagon, every disease was new at one point and you know what, people had to guess and theorize how to deal with each one.

11:06 is clueless. Probably a Fox News watcher. Darwin was correct about survival of the fittest. People who deny the seriousness of COVID-19 as a disease and its extraordinary ability to spread through respiratory droplets will die off first. Or have limbs amputated due to C-19 blood clots, or develop permanent lung scarring, or who knows what side effects, because we are still learning about this virus and how to treat it. The rest of us will continue to wash our hands, wear masks and avoid large crowds while we enjoy life and health.

this is just the memorial day bump. we have another week until the protest bump.

Note to Kingfish....nobody cares about these reported numbers. It's a fact they're being cooked (i.e. bundling of diagnoses) for more federal money.

Had relative in hospital for non-Covid related illness. She was tested 3 times over the course of a week and then also tested for anti-bodies. All were negative. Before her discharge she was beginning to believe the hospital was being incented to test rather than using an abundance of caution.

11:06 makes a valid point. Out "experts" have been all over the map and usually wrong. A dose of humility on their part would be welcome. I'm guessing that humility is not a selling point for them trying to get booked on the 24x7 news. One can't help but notice the difference in how the protesters were described over Memorial Day and over the police protests. One group is 'killing grandma' and the other is 'mostly peaceful and understandable'. Maybe you'll be proven correct 'in two more weeks' and we'll all be dead. If so, remember me fondly.

Yes incentive to test not just MAKING SURE SHE DIDN'T CONTRACT THE VIRUS. The lengths some of you morons will go to in order to fit facts into your narrative, ignoring plain reason, logic, and simple explanations, is astounding.

11:06 When faced with a new communicable disease that is killing some portion of those that it infects do you:

a) Do nothing and let it continue its natural course until you have irrefutable proof about its infection and mortality rate even if that means potentially millions will die during the process. Ignore any and all best practices because they might not be 100% effective.

b) Be conservative and put measures in place to contain the contagion as much as possible while you try to evaluate the disease's effect on the global population

If you picked a), congratulations, you are a model Mississippian.

How you respond to a new disease can drastically affect the number of people killed. Assume the worst and hope for the best is the way to go.

Hospital just trying to make a little more green off your relative, that's all. Thank God for Sheep ad the large closets they live in. This will never go away, will kill some more and then again won't kill everyone. People think they can hide or fake it out, but in the long run death comes a knocking regardless. Baaaahhhhhh

Let's hope the deaths and ICU rates don't increase when we run out of Remdesivir in 30 days or less.

Out of curiosity, is there a number of deaths or contagions that would convince you right fighters to take this seriously? Is it dependent only on you knowing a certain number of people who died and if so, how many?

You see guns as protection against humans that want to injure us but somehow don't get that " masks" are protection against a virus that wants to hurt and kill us. I really don't understand your disconnect. You won't let your children just randomly shoot guns, but you'll let them randomly expose humans to a deadly virus.

I suspect your neural pathways in the brain have a " short".

10:52 The only thing that might convince them to take it seriously is if pictures started coming out of UMMC with dying patients in the hallways and parking lots because there was absolutely no capacity to provide treatment for them. As long as the hospitals can house them until they die everything is perfectly fine.

Even then I doubt some of them would start doing things like wear a mask because somehow that is standing up to tyranny which is worse than death. I keep waiting to hear the quote "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" to justify all the old people being sacrificed. Of course its no big deal when it is someone else's blood being spilled as a result of your actions.
