Mississippi health leaders say pandemic "continuing to worsen"

DESOTO COUNTY, Miss — Mississippi’s top doctor said the Magnolia State is feeling the strain from the COVID-19 delta variant as the number of new cases and hospitalizations keeps going up.

“We are clearly at the worst part of the pandemic that we’ve seen throughout, and it’s continuing to worsen,” said Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs.

Snip

There are a growing number of youth cases and hospitalizations of those under age 50, which Dobbs said is not surprising. Over 20,000 children are in quarantine because of the coronavirus in since school began. Meanwhile in DeSoto County, the state approved a testing facility which health leaders said is scheduled to be set up next week. Health leaders also said they are reviewing a request for a possible field hospital.

Note: Horrific headline is my doing.

1. They Are Third In Per Capita Deaths

And they are almost certainly going to pass New York to take 2nd place.

New Jersey is still a ways off, but at the rate MS is going, they could get there by the end of September.

6. No doubt!

He knows what's going on down there, ND in Texas, Florida, etc., etc.

I get the feeling he's mightily pissed at some of those red state governors. (I'm looking at YOU, Abbott, DeSantis, et al.) He's not going to come out and say it in so many words, but when he was talking about siccing the Secretary of Education on certain governors, I could practically see smoke coming out of his ears.

7. I'll bet!

I see their actions as yet amother layer of likely Russian orchestrated & backed attacks on our country through destroying our medical care system and wasting tons of money.

We all know magats will not be held accountable for their medical bills.
