Mississippi is enjoying a bit of good news on the Covid-19 front. The number of Wuhan Virus patients requiring hospitalization or an ICU bed fell to its lowest level since October 16. However, there are only 2 available ICU beds in the Jackson metro area.
The Mississippi State Department of Health reported 510 hospitalizations, 143 ICUs, and 92 vents today. The number of ICU and ventilator patients are less than half of what they were on January 11. Hospitalizations are nearly two-thirds less since that date.
The Health Department reports there are 90 available ICU beds in Mississippi. Unfortunately, there are only two open ICU beds in the Jackson metro area (C19 ICU patients):
UMC: -10 (14)
St. Dominic: 2 (12)
Merit River Oaks: 0 (1)
Merit Madison: 0 (5)
MBMC: 0 (8)
Merit Health Central: 0 (3)
Merit Health Rankin: 0 (2)
There is another bit of good news: Fewer elderly Wuhan Virus patients are dying. Nursing home patients comprise only 29% of deaths. They once made up 53% of all deaths.
Mississippi has recorded 6,577 Covid-19 deaths.
More information is available at the MSDH website.

The vaccinations are proving to be successful in reining in the devastation in nursing homes. Up to the middle of January it was not uncommon to see 5-10 deaths per day in LTCF. Now it is mostly none or one. We haven't seen LTCF deaths that low since March when the pandemic was just getting started.
Now if everyone else can get vaccinated as soon as they qualify maybe we can return to some normalcy by Summer.
Hopefully the ice storm that forced everyone inside for a week will pay dividends. Also, not sure if you heard, but Trump lost big, so you really should consider calling it something other than the “wuhan China virus Kung flu”, makes you look like like a q anon idiot. If that was your intention, then disregard and carry on.
So how they gonna get paid their Wuhan Kung Flu Tax. I mean Covid is a big money maker.
only 156K have received both doses to date (87K of those were over 65). Another 350K have gotten 1 shot. The 50% drop in hospitalizations since January has nothing to do with the vaccine.

The only idiot is the one who thinks the fraudulent regime currently in charge is legitimate.
Attention, Branch Covidians. The numbers are dropping because the government, state included, got rid of their boogeyman. The numbers were NEVER where they were claimed. Accept it, you got scammed.
The U.S. has administered 52,884,356 vaccine doses. Of COURSE, giving vaccinations to the group most likely to be hospitalized has something to do with the drop in hospitalizations.
If 350,000 elderly Mississippians have gotten at least one shot, which has been shown to reduce or prevent moderate and severe disease, of COURSE it has something to do with vaccination.
In the UK, the rates for Covid hospitalization have been reduced 80-94%.
SMH. You CAN'T be that dumb. Or are you just that desperate?
Of course only good news being reported. Biden is prez. The press is only reporting good news 24/7. Nothing to see here now, move along.
