And those two both had employees test positive.
    We hit a high for vent use in Mississippi over the weekend. It has since fallen back some.

    Over 80% (128 positives, 104 no symptoms) of a cruise ship's cases were asymptomatic

    https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/co...p-study-finds/

    This goes along with the tenn corr center...

    "At the state-run Bledsoe County Correctional Complex, 583 staff and inmates out of 2,322 tested have been infected with coronavirus, based on testing conducted last month.

    The Tennessee correction and health departments determined that 98% of the prison cases have been asymptomatic"

    I remember at the beginning there was speculation that A type blood got hit hard and O type didn't. Did anyone ever investigate this claim?

    Never saw any follow up. Also saw something that basically everybody that was hospitalized had either inadequate or deficient levels of vitamin D (which would potentially explain why opening up isn't really causing a big spike since people are outside more now that the weather is warmer).

    The thinking is this is a vascular virus. So blood type could be involved. But no real proof.

    If either were true there would be real information on that out there by now.

    In Mississippi, 752 total deaths. 395 of those from LTC facilities. That's 52%.

    You're about to see the number of positive cases in LTC increase since they started testing every resident last week.

    Correct. National Guard conducted tests last week. My Mom tested positive. She's been locked down for 2.5 months.

    I haven’t heard anything else about that since it was first reported.

    We'll see daily changes but it'll stay in the same range. Although, Jones and Wayne Co.
    are going to test it.

    They've finished the testing. We should see the bump this week(end).

    If lock downs really worked, all those homes would be safe. Lock downs simply don't work.

    My understanding is the Jackson area hospitals are seeing significant upticks. Our daily average for new cases is still going up. That WILL translate into more in the ICU and on the vent.

    Nursing homes can never be completely locked down. People have to be cared for. All it takes is one asymptomatic employee. It's also why the notion that we can some how open back up, go back to normal, while sheltering those at risk is just laughable.

    Hell, I can go buy PPEs everyday with no problem. The government hoarded PPEs. But it's not hard to find a lot of what hospital needs.
    The lack of testing was the major issue. The slow ass results from MDH. But that's all been corrected too.
    I'm still waiting for you to post where to get it. My major sup[plier was by today, there is none to be had, PERIOD right now from his company. This is a MAJOR national company.

    Not necessarily on vent usage. I know a couple of the hot spots have seen numbers up but vent increase very little. But you're right about Jackson. Most population dense area in the state, so we'll see where that goes.

    Correct. Homes prove there's no way to completely lockdown to prevent it. Just takes one person...
