Thanks. Looks like our 7 day average had dropped 31.5% from its high on July 26th. Obviously the testing lag makes that not the greatest thing to look at, but assuming our testing hasn't had any disruptions or that our backlog of tests hasn't grown, that looks good.Quote:

I can assure you that in the Jackson Metro area, and especially Ridgeland/Madison/Flowood that 95% or more are wearing them in the typical locations---grocery and convenience stores, post offices, Academy Sports, department stores, pharmacies etc. that I have frequented the last several weeks. Obviously eating establishments are different. But the typical places everyone needs to visit for short periods of time daily.Quote:

Really curious as to whether this is people being more careful or us having a critical mass of infected such that it's harder for the virus to spread. I suspect at least some of the former but hope some of the latter also.Quote:

There were 3 people wearing them including myself. Probably 10 customers and 3 or 4 workers not wearing them.Quote:

I'd love to see the numbers in hattiesburg proper because they've been reasonably hardcore about masks for a while. If they haven't had very low rates, then that would make me pessimistic about the use of masks. Be hard to figure that out though since they numbers are reported by county and not sure what other areas of Lamar and Forrest are like.Quote:

New cases rebounded a little today with 644 new cases and 33 additional deaths. I remain cautiously optimistic.
I'm actually pretty thrilled with that total of new cases on a Tuesday. Last Tuesday was 1074. Now the deaths continue to be awful and very concerning. Only 7 states and DC have a worse deaths per million than us.Quote:

The media is on a Covid blitz today. It's the end of the 17ing world this fall/winter because of the flu now.
I wonder did anyone have Covid 19 and the flu at the same time?Quote:

I've been saying that since April, but somehow I'm sure they'll figure out a way to blame it on young people or Trump. They're pretty good at that.Quote:

I'm pretty sure you can report businesses not complying with the order. I know for sure you can report restaurants to Dobbs & co. I'm sure we will be reminded again at 2:30 today...Quote:

If everyone would put on a mask and socially distance in a responsible way, this thing would be under control. 3% spread rate if the infected person is wearing a mask. If asymptotic people would wear masks, it would essentially end it.
I?m with Hack.
