Friday numbers. 986k Tests. I believe this is a one day record for tests. 47k positive. Those are good numbers nationwide. Still testing way too many who don't need it.

I'm glad to see the infection rate stabilizing. If we stay the course, masks, distancing, avoiding large crowds, we will get back to normal a lot faster than ignoring scientific precautionary advice.

Get back to normal, I like that. You actually think we will get back to normal? This is no way near a true end of mankind problem. You have no idea what we would do with a truly devastating issue in this country. Sheep.

Breakdown per state of $$ for covid cases. Perverse incentive. What percentage of the tests are faulty? Why are they using a test that can pick up the common cold? Why did Nashville fake their numbers to keep businesses closed? A perverse incentive of course.

7:25, a number of people who test positive or have symptoms are being required to test negative to return to work.

Interesting that you skipped the higher days this week KF.

I wish we were given total averages for the week and test counts only. I wish repeat testing each week was separated out.

I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that folks who refer to other people as “sheep” and/or “sheeple” are generally IQ deficient (two digits).

Dying for a Ms. Dept of Health “contact tracer” to call me.

The key is masks. We must keep wearing masks. In fact, it is beginning to look like they may be here to stay. They can also help reduce transmission of the flu and many other types of diseases. Article on yahoo about them becoming a permanent part of life for quite a few great reasons. Hopefully everyone with either cooperate or be highly encourage to cooperate.

"Dying for a Ms. Dept of Health “contact tracer” to call me." Tested positive and had bad cold symptoms for about a week then returned to work after 16 days off. No tracer called or visited my co-workers or anyone else, by their reports.

"I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that folks who refer to other people as “sheep” and/or “sheeple” are generally IQ deficient (two digits)." And your IQ to make this assumption? Possibly also two digits?

Calm down at 10:03 am...spreading bogus information is only calming to the clueless.

I was alive in 1957 and remember the pandemic quite well. There were 70,000 deaths in the US over the entire months of that Asian flu and globally 2 million deaths. We just are through 9 months with at least another year to go.

US deaths from Covid 19 is more than twice 1957 that at over 200000 ( Oct is usually the worst month) and we haven't gotten through flu season yet nor have we doubled in population. Nor did that flu have asymptomatic spread. It was spotted and the US response began immediately. Citizens quarantined at the first symptom.

The worldwide deaths are about half that of 1957 but even then we were better at following protocols as were other countries. This time, other countries have been better at following protocols.

Sadly, all countries have those who can't or won't read to educate themselves or follow directions or go into denial or are fatalistic.

You apparently can read, but the Internet allows you to read only that which will reinforce what you want to believe and not to educate yourself on facts.

Nor do you seem to understand how to make relevant comparisons. Asymptomatic spread is not the only reason CV 19 needed a more rapid response. The world was different. Jet travel was in it's early stages and it was 1958 before United Airlines had jets.
I really loved jets, I stopped needing a barf bag.

Please stop spreading lies and stop being the puppet of Russia, Iran and China.

1957 177,751,483
https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/population

Some 20 million Americans were infected, and 116,000 died.
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/united-states-vaccine-1957-flu-pandemic-180974906/

using those sources - 653/M close enough to what I stated.

There was no nationwide lockdown or mask mandates. Only the infected were quarantined.

The population has increased since 1957. Population today is 330M. That's more than 177M, right? 86% more. So if the wuflu was as deadly as the asian flu, we should see 215,760 deaths. We may reach that number.

If you're definition of being a Russian puppet means that I refuse to swallow the constantly changing drivel of the WHO and CDC or believe every word of the TDS main stream media, then I say Будь что будет!

10:35 Unfortunately it likely won't be on his tombstone, but it will be on his grandmother's or some other at-risk person his selfishness lead to getting infected from what is a contagious, respiratory disease. Some people don't care one bit about anybody but themselves.

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.

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.
