    Its a national issue. I know it's hitting Mississippi late, and I hope that helps save lives, but please stay ahead of this.

    Why will Baptist hospital not confirm this? Seems counter-intuitive to public safety to me.

    Being a rural state will play to our advantage. Doesn't mean we should take it lightly. Prayers to the man or woman in icu

    A local doctor did confirm it late yesterday. Now it's four cases in Lowndes and non in Okt County. I think the one in Okt Hospital must live in west Lowndes County.

    This makes one bold assumption. And that assumption is that your local community realizes the consequence of not taking quarantine seriously. Should the virus spread at a higher rate within your community than the national average and your community has an unprepared infrastructure, then it could be devastating with people not being able to receive proper care.

    Your greatest strength can become a weakness. It's why I get aggrevated when I see people continuing through their day here as if nothing is different.

    The doctors,.nurses and hospital staff are the heroes here. I can't imagine what those days are like.

    I saw the article where the local doctor confirmed it and he was on WCBI at 10 last night but Baptist 'neither confirmed nor denied they had cases'. The reason I was asking is that I heard about 2 of them at work yesterday and one was mentioned as being a restaurant employee in Columbus. If that were true, you'd think they'd want everyone who ate at that restaurant last week to know.

    Yes and Hippaa and one was an employee of the restaurant near the courthouse where I ate last week. As soon as that employee tested positive he shutdown all operations. It’s pretty much public knowledge now which restaurant this was.

    Nope. All I heard yesterday was 2 in Lowndes. Then a co-worker from Columbus said he heard one was a 7 year old boy and the other worked at Zachary's.
