C19 Update: About Damn Time

Look who is going to save us from Covid-19:






The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 552 new cases of the Wuhan virus yesterday as well as 12 new deaths. The total number of cases is 98,190. The virus has caused 2,969 deaths. Nursing home deaths comprise 40% of overall Covid-19 deaths in Mississippi. There are 89,737 recoveries. More information and a complete list of infected counties can be found at the MSDH website. The Rt factor is 1.00.

The big chart worsened yesterday but is still much better than it was six weeks ago.

That cotton candy and funnel cakes and, of course, the free biscuits at the state fair will make these numbers jump.

But did the Tot extend again. Betting he will and will continue piecemeal instead of growing a set and going until New Year.

@2:22 Amen! We need a Governor with some balls to keep violating individual rights!

It will be short lived, you don't let a mask mandate expire with Rt 1

Nope, I was wrong. He will let it expire but still encourages masks. Still to be used in Barbershops and salons. Half capacity at Football Games and crowds up to 100 people. After listening to Dobbs, i expect a return to mandate shortly.

Tater tot just announced the statewide mask order will expire today at 5pm. Big mistake

If we tested for the common cold like we test for covid, using a super sensitive PCR test, and then tracked the number of deaths either with or from the cold, how many deaths would we have in a year?

Keep in mind that on any given day, 5% of the population is currently infected with a cold, and that the cold can be contagious from 6-10 days after symptoms appear.

The MS case map in the NYT shows MS with a plateauing case count. MS is listed as one of the States, "Where cases are higher and trending higher." So MS is not beating the virus yet by any means. So, to the point of 2:22 PM, Tater Tot still appears to have only incremental orders in place instead of recognizing the inevitable: that his mask and distancing mandates will have to remain in place until further notice while MS await, and then receives widespread distribution of a safe, effective and reliable vaccine after Phase III testing. Is Tate really going to continue on two weeks at a time? I agree with 2:22: Tate needs to grow a set, consider the science and face facts.

@Jack Sun, absolutely! A 99.97% survival rate (95% if you are over 75 years old) is UNACCEPTABLE! We need to lock down this state, lock down this country, chapter 11 EVERY business (except for WalMart, Best Buy, Target, Kroger and other approved big box stores) lay off every employee that doesn’t work for one of those approved businesses, mandate under penalty of fine (and then imprisonment and then death) that no one may leave their home without their magic face talisman. Drinking a cup of hand sanitizer (only the good stuff from Cathead, not that stinky crap with witch hazel in it) every morning WILL be required or your chip will shut down and you can’t buy beer to drink while watchIng the feetsball. Just like we did for TB, SARS1, MERS, H1N1, heart disease and high blood pressure.

New Years and counting.

Don’t believe the NYT, fake news!
It has 492 cases at Mississippi State, when the actual number is 42,

He had to let it expire to not create a legal liability with the state fair. Follow the money...

South Park was very well done as usual. Probably hits a little close to home for this crowd though.

Calm Down said...

For those members of Team Apocalypse, here's a helpful reminder from the esteemed elite media - The Atlantic - telling everyone back on July 15th that the US should obviously expect to see 550,000 more deaths in just a few months. He's only 330,000 short on his prediction.

And that's not his worst case prediction.

"That’s still not the worst-case scenario for a truly uncontained outbreak, in which serious measures are not taken. For months, most public-health officials have argued that the infection-fatality rate—the number of people who die from all infections, detected and undetected, symptomatic and asymptomatic—was somewhere between 0.5 and 1 percent. The CDC’s latest estimates in its planning scenarios range from 0.5 to 0.8 percent. Take that lower number and imagine that roughly 40 percent of the country becomes infected. That’s 800,000 lives lost."

We need to invest in education.

@ 5:41. From this point forward Jack Sun will be addressed as Professor Jack Sun of the MAWKE Institute.

Jacksun said...

5:41: I said nothing about lockdown. Deaths from C19 remain 3% of cases (so 3% of infected), and beyond that it is a blood disease that even if not resulting in death can damage organs including the brain. Poo poo the risks all you want as long as you cover your freaking face.

7:57 is right. the state can’t be sued if someone dies from covid-19 when getting their fill of fried goodness.

and when the governor said he’s still going to wear a mask-lie. how many photos have there been of him
not wearing one? what a phoney.

finally- at state, check out social media. it’s rampant. students just aren’t testing and just dealing with it so they can stay at school. and there have been people under 21 die from covid. it’s very rare though

5:41 pm is still posting the same inaccurate stuff.
Either he or she just can't do basic math or else, they are like the abused woman who always says, " he really does love me and I love him".
Please, go visit someone with CV 19. Please stay in the room with them , holding their hand for an hour or two and do not wear a mask.

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. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
