The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 145 new cases of the Wuhan virus yesterday as well as 9 new deaths. The total number of cases is 90,018. The virus has caused 2,706 deaths. Nursing home deaths comprise 40% of overall Covid-19 deaths in Mississippi. There are 78,791 recoveries. More information and a complete list of infected counties can be found at the MSDH website. The Rt factor is 0.91.
Improvement in the big chart continues. Hospitalizations, ICUs, and vents are all much better than they were a month ago.
Kingfish note: Yes, the numbers are always better on Monday. They will be worse by Wednesday. However, the big chart is much, much better than it was over a month ago.

Don't be a TATER SNOT maskhole....I'm thinking TAR n FEATHERS and TORCHES n PITCHFORKS!!!
7:03. without masks, the chart would have continued its upward journey and we wouldn't have any space in our hospitals for baby delivery, stroke, heart attack....
If masks are so effective, why haven't we heard anyone in the last 100 years demand masks to prevent the transmission of the regular flu?
You should could have worn one and mitigated the spread of the flu. The flu can be deadly it's just not as deadly as Covid.

So you are now, at this late date, calling for the same universal mask mandate from this point forward, in light of the newly established 0 tolerance for any death from any virus?
Rt looks like it's on a upswing. Canton will be adding to the problem with it's upcoming Flea Market. Though Tate said no more than 50 at outdoor events. He needs to grow a set and declare a mask mandate until after the New Year and keep everything at 25-50% capacity. Only way to save the world, or at least slow the end of mankind.
Dr. Anonymous, Flu is just as deadly as Covid.
When will you clowns (covidiots) recognize the long term effects Covid is having on otherwise young and healthy individuals? Neurological issues, problems breathing long after “recovery,” heart problems. It’s not just a binary “you’re fine or you’re dead.” 200k dead so far, with 300k projected by the end of the year, and we’ve shut down the economy and issued mask mandates. With the flu, none of that happens and not nearly as many die in a year. Get your head out of your collective asses.
I'm constantly amazed that whenever Kingfish posts a COVID update story at the comments from people who seem to have no knowledge of the world outside of MS. @7:39 PM there is not a single location where cases continued to go up and up without a mask mandate. Tater's statewide mandate was not put in place until cases were already coming down. There are 16 states that never had one and none of them had their hospitals overrun. There are also many locations that have had mask mandates with almost 100% compliance that have the same pattern of infections as everywhere else.
Almost twice as many US children died from the flu in the 2017-2018 season as have died from COVID.

In 2020 there's been more children die from the flu in MS (2 as of May)than COVID.
If this was twitter some of these comments would be flagged.
yep...it was a Monday report
By the way KF, ask how many of the tests are repeat tests.
28 newly reported deaths today. Makes the numbers very incomparable when they aren't reported correctly every weekend. At least there's a chart showing the information by actual date of death. It has come down from its peak, but even with the improvements the Washington Post still has us at #1 for mortality rate over the past week.
And 11:06, Dr. Dobbs has already addressed your question. No matter how many times a person tests positive they are still only listed as one case in the total. Repeat tests don't skew the numbers.
Dr. Anonymous @7;48, COVID is much deadlier than the flu. The flu, even in the worst years, kills about 60,000 people. Most years are well below that.
Despite all the mitigation some of the concerned public has done, COVID has already killed more than triple that amount and will likely double again before a vaccine can be widely rolled out. Anyone saying COVID is no worse than the flu has got severe comprehension problems.
@9:21 am
The new IMHE model predicts 410,000 dead in the US by the end of the year, not 300,000. You need to get your fear porn facts straight.
As for 'long haul covid' symptoms, the most prominent member of that team is the esteemed actress of "me too" fame, Alyssa Milano. She reports horrible symptoms and her hair is falling out!! And she says she gets 'super scared sometimes'!! So this group will be distinguished by their shiny bald heads. We should wear a ribbon in their memory.
Overly sensitive tests and false positives are the issue. The over counting of 'cases' leads to over counting of deaths.
KF, as the usual Monday "low count" again didn't hold and we jumped to over 700 the days you didn't report this week so, we'll have another not very good week of cases and death once we add them all together.
Nice try. I am reporting the cases two to three days a week now. In case you didn't notice, I published three posts about the Gold Coast/Rebel story. That took a lot of time and a lot of reading. Sorry I wasn't able to cater to every desire. Of course, I don't see you on the Facebook pages of WLBT, WAPT, WJTV, and the CL bitching about their lack of coverage of that story.
Dr. Dobbs is dead on.
