Nothing to see here. It’s just a hoax.

Some of these hospitals are just getting back to somewhat normal censuses after being at around 40-50 % a month ago...the Government put in a Regional overflow Covid ICU’s that were relatively empty, are they not going to utilize those?

Already took many of those down. At least the ones we provided the power and AC for...

Yeah, there really needs to be a better option here. A lot of nurses and other medical professionals had their hours cut way back the first time we did this. And the hospitals themselves lost a ton of money. I just don’t believe this is a sustainable answer to this issue. Maybe a band-aid for a few weeks but a covid overflow facility is needed.

It is what it is.

The Feds spent almost $60 Million on a Covid Overflow Hospital in Memphis.... don’t know if it ever had a patient.

We are at a record level of hospitalizations for It Mississippi. The ICU situation is very serious in many places with others headed that way rapidly. We need a statewide mask order YESTERDAY. It needs to have teeth and HAS to be enforced. We are headed back to lockdown if people don't change their behaviors.

 

[RocketDawg]

True for all states. It should be a nationwide order.

I’m fine with a mask requirement but I don’t believe we will shut back down. I don’t think anyone would go along with that.

If it gets bad enough they will. I hope that never happens.

Just heard from my son who is an ER nurse in Jackson. Wait times are currently 3.5-4 hours right now. No available beds so if you get admitted, you stay in the ER until a room opens up. I asked him if it was COVID. He said "a little" but mostly non-complaint Mississippians who refuse to follow their doctors medication and lifestyle orders. We are an unhealthy bunch in this state.

 

[57stratdawg]

Don’t they know the alarming case rate increases is a false narrative driven by the liberal media?!?!

You have a great knack for blocking out the truth.

It’s amazing the majority of the shut it down people are all of those on the Government Tit......

I own my own business. If they do shut us down again I may go under. WEAR A MASK.

Double post

True, it won’t affect them as much as people who actually have to perform a job/task for a living. They live off of what the government takes from others.

Just means more time off while collecting a paycheck from their fellow taxpayers.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I had to take my wife to the ER last Sunday night in Olive Branch. She waited about 15 minutes and was taken back.

 

[Misfit]

Pssst! There are tens of millions of folks and companies that have actually been getting paid for doing nothing during this mess. None of them are government employees.

But we panic about covid

I asked him if it was COVID. He said "a little" but mostly non-complaint Mississippians who refuse to follow their doctors medication and lifestyle orders. We are an unhealthy bunch in this state.

But accept obesity as just part of life. One kills more than the other and could be pretty much eliminated, but we worry about the other.

Obesity isn't contagious. As you pointed out obesity has a cure and it's cheaper than what you did to get obese. COVID doesn't have a treatment. Let's see which one should we worry about, the one that is very contagious and has no cure, or the one that isn't contagious at all and has a simple, cheap cure? Man that's a tough one. *******

I’ve been posting about the lack of any reversal in the death rate numbers for a couple weeks now. Well, it finally reversed yesterday. Nearly a thousand deaths which is the highest number since early June

 

[jethreauxdawg]

It’s interesting which posts you reply to and which posts you hide from. I’m assuming you’re obese?
And since when did Covid no longer have a treatment? Worrying about covid does nothing for you. You can’t stop the spread. Remember, the experts have said we’ll all catch it, we’re just trying to slow the spread. You can have an impact on obesity. Worry about that one, lose weight. Get healthy. Then you’ll be better prepared for when you get covid.

? My step mom is a surgical nurse in Jackson. They have laid off nurses and cut hours back due to the hospital being empty. So maybe you should educate yourself before speaking.

The combined Monday and Tuesday death totals were still the lowest since March with Monday’s being outlandishly low for the usual pattern.

 

[bulldoghair]

Jones County is listed In the elective surgeries cancelled or limited...even though it’s not considered a so called hot spot. Wonder why? Oh yea, Thomas Dobbs lives in Laurel.

Dobbs wants everything to shut down. Let’s just say he is not a trump supporter. And he has the t-shirt to prove it. Seen it with my own two eyes. He wants you to “Feel the Burn.”

Who will staff these Covid overflow facilities?

 

[Seinfeld]

Not disputing what you’re saying, but the chart I’ve been following on worldometers.info says 378 for Monday and 993 for yesterday. That nearly 1400 2-day total is quite a bit more than several other 2-day totals from the last few months.

 

[paindonthurt_]

I’d say the length of time for recovering from covid is a lot shorter than recovering from obesity even if losing at a rapid healthy rate. FOR 99% OF PEOPLE.

 

[paindonthurt_]

He/she only responds to post that fit his agenda.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Hospitals empty??? I thought they were flooded with Covid patients and would run out of room soon!!!!!!!

 

[GloryDawg]

After some thought what this really means is no new big boobies.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Now covid has officially taken everything from us.

Let me know when someone manages to catch obesity due to being in public, then we can use this as a good example.

You do know what an ICU is and the ways it's different right?

You have to do them by days of the week. There's an obvious pattern that has emerged ever since the ramp up. That pattern seems to have been modified because of the holiday. 3 low number days followed by a high number day. When it's been two low number days for the majority of the deal. We'll see what the next few days hold for us.

Arizona alone showed 117 yesterday compared to 36 today. Obviously a bunch of those are going to be from the weekend.

As usual you assume WRONG. I used to be obese several years ago. It's pretty simple to get rid of. You eat less and exercise more, with the eating less being by far the most important thing. I did it and have kept it off. COVID does NOT have a treatment that works. Good grief it it did nobody would be concerned at all. My lord.
