    Yeah, mild just means not hospitalized. Plus it's 5% at a minimum because a lot of places aren't reporting hospitalization data.

    This is actually incorrect. I would REEEEAAALLLLYYY advise everyone to go read this article. I know it's a lot of reading but if you want to see the issues with the numbers coming out versus reported R0 and spread rates you will want to read this. It is importial and both good and bad news. I HIGHLY recommend it.

    You should really dig through the article I just posted. It's good info. I know it is poorly laid out. The guy is brilliant when it comes to stats and exponential growth...but he needs an editor.

    Tate Reeves issues shelter-in-place for Lauderdale county and only Lauderdale county. Not sure what exactly that means since most every business is considered essential.

    You tell me how numbers are remotely correct on mortality rate etc. when hospitals don't use the same criteria for testing, states do not, countries do not. The data is simply thrown together. It's not comparing the same data.
    Well I guess Mississippi gets a ****ing cookie then. Congrats on having enough beds right now. Italy had enough beds before they locked down, too I wonder if Tate will wait until Mississippi's hospitals are over run before he takes the steps everyone else has used to stem the tide of cases....

    How long does it take for a test result to come back in Mississippi?

    I'm not using Mortality rate. I'm counting BODIES. And Reefer Trucks outside of Hospitals in the USA to hold those bodies.

    But keep on Mississippi.... I'm sure it will not have exponential growth there as well.

    CITE for the 95% number? I have seen that 80% of the cases are "mild" Mild means they don't need a hospital BTW....

    In 80% of known cases, COVID-19 causes mild to moderate illness, according to a report of a joint World Health Organization-China mission of 25 infectious disease experts held in China late last month.

    Spreading shit like this will kill people....

    An optimist is one thing, spreading mis information is another.

    I don't know about the rest of Mississippi but Jones County is a ghost town. I work in an essential business so I'm at work everyday but there's hardly any traffic, parking lots are empty and even walmart parking lot is much more barren than normal. People are supporting the local restaraunts here and doing take out and delivery(there's been no dining rooms open here for almost 2 weeks). The only people out are the ones in essential businesses and going to the grocery store. It's eery the lack of traffic and the empty parking lots.

    This is the issue. Shelter in place, national quarantine...none of it matters because 8/10 businesses have declared themselves essential and I can guarantee you if we go through this again next winter those last two businesses will have figured out a way to declare themselves essential.

    Jeez. That's awful. I wonder if there is any way we can find out how many patients are in the ICU and on ventilators in Louisiana and Mississippi. I haven't been able to find any stats on that. I've only seen stats on hospitalizations.

    I'm trying to keep it during all this stuff. So much uncertainity for all of us right now. Nothing I can do to control this thing so I just keep moving forward and try to smile and stay positive, cause being negative ain't gonna help. Growing up I used to work with my grandfather in his chicken houses and he used to tell me the stories of surviving the great depression and how his parents used humor to make those tough times bearable. He was a great man with a lot of faith. He used to sing the song "One Day at a Time" while we worked on the farm every day. Those words really carry a punch with whats happening right now. Try to stay positive my friends!

    It’s an interesting article for sure, but regardless of what the true infection rates turn out to be, an awful lot of people are getting seriously sick and dying.

    Don't know if you all care but I got word today that the Government is going to let you withdraw up to 100K out of Annuities and other retirement plans with no IRS penalty and you will be able to spread the taxes you will owe over three years. Don't know all the details but some of you might benefit from it.
