Is this mostly in one region of Mississippi or is the whole state getting hit?
I try very hard to focus on facts, try to explain and ignore the personal attacks. Below is the whistleblowers that I use
The 4,073,243 is confirmed cases reported as at 2:35 pm today. The 48,794,970 is the "Total Test Results US" as at end yesterday. The Florida numbers are hard to see but are Cases 402,312; Tests 3,210,492
It would be greatly appreciated if you would block me for our mutual benefit.
Whole state. 30 counties under mandatory masks and number of people allowed to gather. More counties or statewide restrictions not far off.
The above is for my 6 county area to date and daily for July 23 the cases reported in the following: Jackson County (97), Harrison County (66), George County (18), Hancock County (16), Pearl River County (11), and Stone County (5
I am in Harrison, but Hancock is directly to my West and Jackson to my East
Statewide numbers
Yeah that's pretty rough
One last graph
Especially for a state with a small population. Numbers are climbing at a steady rate, no such thing as flatten the curve.....
Let's get away from the numbers and talk about a real world case.
About a month ago my wife told me that a friend of hers informed her that both of her in-laws had tested positive for the virus. A while later they both were admitted to the hospital and released after a few days. The wife continued to improve but the husband did not. even with oxygen his level stayed low. Skip to just over 2 weeks ago he was readmitted for his third admission and went to ICU. His progress was updated to my wife every day or so. He had oxygen, steroids, plasma and Hydroxychloroquine. He ended up on a ventilator until Tuesday this week. The friend's husband and his mother got a call and went to the hospital to watch through a window as the life support was disconnected. The 3 nurses were in tears as was obviously the wife and son. Even my wife was having difficulty relating this to me due to emotion. The primary nurse posted on FB that anyone that doubts this virus needs to spend some time with her. The guy had been fighting for his life for 2 weeks in ICU. She said that in addition to taking care of him she had to update the wife at least daily as no visitors allowed and it was very stressful.
It is often said that there are many issues caused by not being able to dine in, go to a bar, participate in sports,go to the prom etc. Just think about the toll it takes not only on the 3,400 people that have died the last 3 days but (if this is typical) the 17,000 people that witnessed those deaths. This will particularly tough on the health workers who may see this more than once. My daughter's sister-in-law is an ICU nurse and told her that of 3 patients she has had, 2 have passed and the third is likely to meet the same end.
I would prefer to see the numbers going in a different direction also but I also believe that people should level with us and tell us what the plan is to turn it around. I don't want someone telling me that things are expect the situation will continue to improve. In sports high score wins; in a pandemic it does not.
Well said. All is good until it affects you or someone close to you. My older sister is one of the this is a "hoax" type deal. She asked me if I knew of anyone infected and I told her I personally knew/witnessed at least 40 cases just here. She was shocked to say the least.
Sounds like she may have one or two credibility issues.
She says it was documented in emails. Florida owns the emails. Why not make all of the emails public and clear this up? Her colleagues are apparently standing up for her according to the article you linked.
"Its also sad that people will so fervently protect a" ....sexual predator.😂😂
What I've learned from this thread......
1. The numbers being reported are accurate and to be believed. Until it is reported that deaths may be under reported to help reopening......then it makes sense that there may be discrepancies.
2. As a country of 350,000,000 we are unable to set up temporary hospitals to help the overflow patients of Covid......and when we are able to actually set up temporary hospitals...... we are told there are not enough qualified people out of 350,000,000 to care for them......unless we use retired butchers.
3. Although numerous physicians are having success using different drug cocktails and vitamins to keep people alive......they are discouraged from sharing the info......and occasionally ridiculed by certain media.....because the drug cocktail hasn't gone through extensive testing.
4. Although this disease is almost exclusively killing just 15% of the population..... we are unable to help protect that vulnerable population without stopping everything else in America. And if you suggest something like this then you are being cavalier about those that have died.
5. Although this disease is having very little effect on children.....we aren't able to open schools or participate in sports.... so we can keep the children safe......and of course it's also about keeping the teachers safe. Although doctors, nurses, grocery clerks, home depot/lowes/walmart workers and countless other workers are able to return to work. And these workers face more of the population that haven't gone through extensive screening every morning like students will go through.
6. We are not able to set up fast testing results for the more accurate testing. ...in certain doctors offices and clinics .....because it is much too complex and expensive.
7. But the best one is.... we are all better off staying inside and self quarantining to help this virus die down.... unless of course you have a legitimate protest or riot to attend.....because that is certainly more important than quarantining.
It's really incredible all the things this country is unable or unwilling to do. It's almost as if we've lost the roll up our sleeve and find solutions mentality.
And although it is difficult and takes time to find solutions for all these issues our country has never faced......many in our country still find it very easy to place almost all the blame on one person.
AWESOME!!!!!
POTD!!!
Pretty sure "the blame" is spread across the board. Take the politics away Tex. Last warning..
Enjoyed the post, @texdawg, and point #7 rang extremely true with me. I'm not taking sides on any of the protests (mask wearing, school teachers, BLM, Antifa etc.) but appreciate and am saddened by the irony and truth contained in that statement.
Do what you have to do.......seems odd I'm being the one called out for being political.
