Welp. Oak Grove and Purvis shut down after a week

[Maroonthirteen]

but Covid is racing through MS. And Lamar Co. is one of the higher vaccinated counties in MS at 39% of the county population. MS is a chronically undervaccinated population and it could come back to haught.us. What if Covid spikes dramatically again and the decision is made to limit football attendance or cancel...

Pre-face... people should get vaccinated.

I realize the vaccinated are frustrated and want to blame someone. However the data now suggest the vaccinated and unvaccinated are spreading the delta variant. You even say Lamar co is a highly vaccinated county, relatively.

If they don't allow crowds. It will because the sec and Mississippi State decided to do so. Not some random people. If they shut down the country, it will be the because of the decisions of the Biden administration. Not the boogie (unvaccinated) men.

[viverlibre]

Apparently something previous politicians never exploited with World Wars, much deadlier pandemics, presidential assassinations, natural disasters, etc., but yeah...this is the boogieman.

Those were much, much, much, more serious situations than the 'Rona. It's real but the death rate for healthy folks is in the .00s of a percentage. For those with health issues and old folks, it's certainly higher and those people should get vaxxed and take precautions. Each person has to evaluate risks, personally I don't take medications (even ibuprofen) unless it's a serious situation. COVID posses virtually no risk to me (I'm perfectly healthy), so I'm following the science and not taking the vax, just like I don't take the flu vax. I've had COVID (discovered i had the antibodies when giving blood) and was 100% asystematic.

I can?t beliefs the leftist scourge has infected EVEN Elite Dawgs.

No place is safe.

[BeardoMSU]

The vaccines are free because of Operation Warpspeed from the Trump Administration. Money was put toward millions of vaccines being free to Americans.

aGAIN- we are allowing unvaccinated people to walk into our country at a rate of 200K per month (caught and slipping thru). That is a policy that says C19 is not serious. If it was serious- our border would be closed- like it is with Canada and Fla.

Warpspeed was responsible for the FastTracking of the vaccine testing/development, not its implementation. It was still a massive achievement, one I wish more of the previous administration would promote for society's benefit more aggressively, but some folks would rather own the libs (or whoever) than take win (or a vaccine).

So I guess having a higher likelihood of passing it along to someone else who can be seriously impacted from it is "following the science"? Your grandparents for example? Or someone else's? Glad you're good, though.

my son who is a toddler had covid and tested positive with the rest of my family last year between thanksgiving and Christmas. He was sick this past week and when taken the the doctor he was swabbed for everything. Came back positive for strep AND covid.

The doctor said he doubted he had covid. Felt it was a false positive because his symptoms didn?t align with young kids and covid. He didn?t recommend quarantine or anything. He also said that if he did have it again that he would be the first person in the county to contract it for the second time. So just to be safe we did the send off test and sure enough it came back negative. After a couple of days of antibiotics for the strep he?s back to his typical insane maniacal 3 yr old self.

What?s odd to me is that this same doctor that just said no one around here has gotten it a second time also recommended gettin the vaccine even tho me and my wife had already had covid. If I had?tt had it I would get the shot but as of now I would get tested for anti bodies before gettin the vax

That's what I did. I had Covid last November and went and got an antibodies test. They said my number were good for at least a few more months and didn't recommend the vaccine right now.

In his defense, I watched fauci say asymptomatic people aren't spreading the virus. Now that's been 2-3 months ago, so he may have changed his tune by now.

I understand the public's frustration with this, but this is exactly how science works. You make decisions based on what you know at the time; once new information is gathered you might have to change those decisions. It is what it is. I totally agree that the govt has botched their messaging of this thing, this admin going back to the last one, but that being said, it's still a messy process (as science often is), but they are doing their best to save lives.

My grandparents have been dead for decades, but my 85 year old mother and my siblings, all in their 60s and fat, have gotten the vax. My wife (she's already had it), with a health issue, has also gotten the vax, it all comes down to risk.

[MaroonFlounder]

It was inevitable given the low vaccine compliance and increased virulence of the delta strain.

Compliance? You gotta be kidding me. Fkin sheep.

Again, I'm glad your family is safe. I really am. But what about the others you come in contact with while going to church, shopping for groceries, sitting in the stands at a game, etc.?

I'm all for some things being a "personal choice", but for a select few arenas, there should be a higher call of duty for the greater good....call it altruism, being a good American, doing your public duty, whatever.

I guess I just don't understand the mindset of "well I'm good, my family is good...but **** my neighbors, my fellow parishioners, my fellow State brethren...that's on them". All because taking a vaccine to help expedite the ending of a pandemic (one we've all been affected by) is just too high a hill to climb.

[Coach34]

Here are some things people don’t take into account on all this:

1. This virus is not bad for people 18 and under. In the last 18 months- just over 300 have died nationwide. That’s about 1 every 2 days throughout our entire nation. And a lot of them had a comorbidity that contributed.

2. It’s rough on 65 and older. This group is approaching 70% vaccination rate nationwide

3. Millions have already had C19 and have a natural immunity to it now

4. We won’t ever be totally safe from anything

5. Big cities are having more murders per month than C19 deaths. Perspective needs to be achieved instead of a lot of fear

6. Doing the same shit we did before that didn’t work and expecting it to work this time is simply dumb

I haven’t gotten the vaccine because I have heart issues now. This year alone the vaccines have caused over 50K instances of myocarditis and other problems. That is an abnormally large number in 7 months. Especially for a virus I have at least a 99.5% chance of surviving. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease

Because 600,000 ppl have died from the vaccine right? He?s got a pre existing condition and is anti-vax. Bold move cotton.

600K did not die from C19. Hospitals have counted motorcycle wrecks and gunshot wounds as Covid deaths if they test positive because the govt added money to it. The actual number of C19 deaths is probably half that

2. It?s rough on 65 and older. This group is approaching 70% vaccination rate nationwide While it's true the elderly have been vaccinated more proportionately than other age groups, they are still at greater risk; so much so, its recommended they get boosters. Plus the vaccination percentages are highly skewed state to state for all age groups. Mississippi, for example has less than 40% with at least 1 dose. Some areas are pulling their weight, while others aren't. And it's dragging us all down.

3. Millions have already had C19 and have a natural immunity to it now This isn't true

4. We won?t ever be totally safe from anything That's why we wear seatbelts in our cars, even though we have airbags, amiright?**

5. Big cities are having more murders per month than C19 deaths. Perspective needs to be achieved instead of a lot of fear Whataboutism?

6. Doing the same shit we did before that didn?t work and expecting it to work this time is simply dumb Lol, wut? We didn't have vaccines readily available for everyone in the country before.

Sounds good Qoach. Be sure to summarize Tucker Carlson for us next weekend also.

Stop listening to Tucker.

These are both things that have easily been explained/debunked. A cursory review would suffice.

I'm surprised you left out "it's all because the Swamp/Deep State wanted to get OrangeManBad".**
