I love that last year in March they built a lot of field hospitals, then tore them down 6 weeks later. They should probably be building field hospitals again, right now.

I like he tried the same dumb playbook as 2020 except this time around the R0 range doubled due to the Delta Variant.

i feel like people don't realize how rare it is for kids to die. dozens of kids a day is sensational.

my understanding right now is that young children (say under the age of 18 or so) dying is still really rare comparatively, but the death is alot more centered in the 30-60 cohort this time aruond.

covid is over in mississippi

quote:

Gov. Reeves: Worst of Mississippi’s COVID surge may be over

In the past 10 days, Reeves said COVID hospitalizations have plateaued. Figures from the Mississippi State Department of Health show around 1,600 hospitalizations – the same as last week.

idk if people realize itt how close to destruction a lot of business is right now. We're barely keeping the logistic pipelines open and the debt load being carried by just about everyone rn..

we maxed out last wave at about a sandyhook / month. I think we are easily going to surpass that this time unless schools start to seriously freak out. and especially high schools where kids are far more at risk of dying and only like 25% vaccinated

and that's just deaths. someone is going to put together absences due to sickness this year compared to last year and it will take ages to compile that across the country and the data is going to be shocking and absolutely no one will change anything next year
