The thing amazed me was the JPS shut down last fall and they have been social distancing at Football games for years. They spread their band and dancers out to make the bleachers look full. And their teams can?t tackle or block because they are never within 6 feet of an opposing player.

It was inevitable given the low vaccine compliance and increased virulence of the delta strain.

A guy in town here was basically bragging on how South Mississippi was unvaccinated.

Tupelo band shut down after a few days in camp.

Not a Corona Bro but not a denier either.

Think it might be prudent to hold off of face to face classes til Tue after Labor Day like our forefathers.

Did they shut down bc of positive cases? Or bc of hospitalizations/deaths?

With the vaccine…despite less than half having it…the people that have already gotten, and the knowledge about how to treat it, I’m hopeful this latest wave will be shorter lived and less deadly.

But vaccination greatly lowers hospital count. The avg wait time for ambulances the past two weeks in the central ms trauma district at hospitals is 6 hours. That means the unit is out of service and sitting on a wall at a hospital waiting to drop a pt off.

Response times for ambulances in some areas right now in excess of a hour due to the wall times.

Shoeless Joe brings up a very valid point relative to treating COVID. The death rates should be lower this time, but we are about to enter another very difficult period and it could have been avoided. It SHOULD have been avoided.

I agree. My point is simply that, if we are going to shut down schools due strictly to positive cases in the school (which is what the oak grove released statement said-28 positive cases), then the vaccine is not going to stop that.

On a positive note, st d had only 4 people waiting in the ER Friday as opposed to 73 last Friday.

my son who is a toddler had covid and tested positive with the rest of my family last year between thanksgiving and Christmas. He was sick this past week and when taken the the doctor he was swabbed for everything. Came back positive for strep AND covid.

The doctor said he doubted he had covid. Felt it was a false positive because his symptoms didn’t align with young kids and covid. He didn’t recommend quarantine or anything. He also said that if he did have it again that he would be the first person in the county to contract it for the second time. So just to be safe we did the send off test and sure enough it came back negative. After a couple of days of antibiotics for the strep he’s back to his typical insane maniacal 3 yr old self.

What’s odd to me is that this same doctor that just said no one around here has gotten it a second time also recommended gettin the vaccine even tho me and my wife had already had covid. If I had’tt had it I would get the shot but as of now I would get tested for anti bodies before gettin the vax

Our Southern border is wide open and we had 150K come into the country in the month of July- and that?s just the ones we caught and counted. These people aren?t vaxxed and we aren?t vaxxing them upon entry. Just letting them go wherever they want in this country spreading whatever. Until this administration gets serious about C19- they shouldn?t expect anybody else to be serious.

This is fact. I have a lot of friends with ranches on the border. The stories I am hearing from them would astonish you. This issue alone shows that there is an agenda, especially since the Canadian and Florida border have different protocols.

I understand that at Oak Grove HS, there were 28 Covid positive students confirmed this week. Then throw in the contact tracing after the students attended 4 classes during the day and the school adminstrators decided to send student back to virtual. I have a child who attends OGHS. It's a bummer, but Covid is racing through MS. And Lamar Co. is one of the higher vaccinated counties in MS at 39% of the county population. I have heard all the insane/crazy and not so crazy reasons not to vaccinate, but my family and I chose to take the vaccine and follow the science. MS is a chronically undervaccinated population and it could come back to haught.us. What if Covid spikes dramatically again and the decision is made to limit football attendance or cancel...

The vaccines are free because of Operation Warpspeed from the Trump Administration. Money was put toward millions of vaccines being free to Americans.

aGAIN- we are allowing unvaccinated people to walk into our country at a rate of 200K per month (caught and slipping thru). That is a policy that says C19 is not serious. If it was serious- our border would be closed- like it is with Canada and Fla.

This is just not a debatable point. All Sleepy Joe did was continue what Trump started. Even though when he was in office and pushing for the vaccine to be developed every damn dem in office was screaming it won't be safe and they won't be taking the Trump vaccine.

The following statement was published in the Boston Herald last March.

The following statement was published in the Boston Herald last March.
______

The New York Post wrote, ?More than 100 illegal immigrants who tested positive for the coronavirus ? after their arrival in Texas since late January ? have been released by the Border Patrol into the Lone Star State and are free to travel to other parts of the U.S.?
______

Now consider an article published yesterday stating the current estimate is that just 68% of illegal border crossers get caught. See the referenced article linked below.

?Report: Just 68% of Illegal Border Crossers Get Caught.
Given the lack of deterrents to their entry, even that apprehension estimate may be high.?

https://cis.org/Arthur/Report-Just-68-Illegal-Border-Crossers-Get-Caught

The article is from The Center for Immigration Studies, an independent, non-partisan, non-profit, research organization widely recognized, for providing invaluable information, by such organizations as The Hudson Institute and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

If you take the time to read the article, it is clear unvaccinated citizens are just a small part of the problem. My thoughts go to two things.

First:
Pandoras box has been opened. And, like when she slammed it shut, too late, could it be the only thing left still trapped inside is hope?

Second:
The pestilence spoken of in Revelation.

It honestly is hard to argue with this.

What we can say at a minimum is, this administration has taken the position that the threat of illegal immigrants bringing covid into the states isn't serious enough to shut down the southern border. That can't be argued.

Pre-face... people should get vaccinated.

I realize the vaccinated are frustrated and want to blame someone. However the data now suggest the vaccinated and unvaccinated are spreading the delta variant. You even say Lamar co is a highly vaccinated county, relatively.

If they don't allow crowds. It will because the sec and Mississippi State decided to do so. Not some random people. If they shut down the country, it will be the because of the decisions of the Biden administration. Not the boogie (unvaccinated) men.

Those were much, much, much, more serious situations than the 'Rona. It's real but the death rate for healthy folks is in the .00s of a percentage. For those with health issues and old folks, it's certainly higher and those people should get vaxxed and take precautions. Each person has to evaluate risks, personally I don't take medications (even ibuprofen) unless it's a serious situation. COVID posses virtually no risk to me (I'm perfectly healthy), so I'm following the science and not taking the vax, just like I don't take the flu vax.

Warpspeed was responsible for the FastTracking of the vaccine testing/development, not its implementation. It was still a massive achievement, one I wish more of the previous administration would promote for society's benefit more aggressively, but some folks would rather own the libs (or whoever) than take win (or a vaccine).

I understand the public's frustration with this, but this is exactly how science works. You make decisions based on what you know at the time; once new information is gathered you might have to change those decisions. It is what it is. I totally agree that the govt has botched their messaging of this thing, this admin going back to the last one, but that being said, it's still a messy process (as science often is), but they are doing their best to save lives.

2. It?s rough on 65 and older. This group is approaching 70% vaccination rate nationwide While it's true the elderly have been vaccinated more proportionately than other age groups, they are still at greater risk; so much so, its recommended they get boosters. Plus the vaccination percentages are highly skewed state to state for all age groups. Mississippi, for example has less than 40% with at least 1 dose. Some areas are pulling their weight, while others aren't. And it's dragging us all down.

3. Millions have already had C19 and have a natural immunity to it now This isn't true
