She had a mask in but he didn't.
Did U find any minners?

It?s not ?some?. It?s ?most? of Mississippians. Especially in rural areas. Everywhere I go in rural Mississippi people look at me like I?m an alien when I walk in wearing my mask.

May have our differences but thank you for aspiring to be part of the solution here instead of the problem. If everyone would listen to Tater Tot's speech the other day I feel like we could get the spread down to a manageable spot in a month to look at having college sports be able to start mid September.

I did. Sadly I didn't catch anything and ended up feeding them all to some ducks. At least they ate well.

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.

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.

Spoke to a DR Saturday who is predicting cases to slowly go down as well as hospitalizations over the next month. Deaths will lag unfortunately but they to will go down.

Wear the Damn Mask
My wife is a nurse so I understand the importance and I understand that masks absolutely work but it requires people to wear them. Everyone!!!

Hattiesburg is the same. And most businesses are telling everyone they have to put on masks to come in. But travel just outside of the city limits headed towards Collins/Seminary, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone in a store wearing them. Just left Covington County Supply on 49. There were 3 people wearing them including myself. Probably 10 customers and 3 or 4 workers not wearing them.
It’s the same at all gas stations and places like Dollar General.

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.

Hawaii cases exploding on an island that requires a quarantine upon entering and a hardcore mask ordinance isn't an endorsement for masks. Now if the cases don't continue to rise, their numbers aren't bad.

I haven't looked at the three Metro Jackson counties recently but Hinds, Madison and Rankin have been under mandatory mask orders for at least three weeks I believe. EVERY business has very visible signs that you MUST have a mask to enter. And people are very much adhering to the requirement.

They really haven't. Nobody I'm seeing is wearing them except where they're made to. Early on, stores didn't require them even though they were mandated. It's been a mess. Convenience store customers never wear them.

I’ve told my wife from the beginning, if I get it it’s from a damn convenience store.
