Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) is reconsidering his plan to keep reversing his stay at home order after his state saw its largest spike in COVID-19 cases in one day following his first partial rollback.
“…reconsidering his plan to keep reversing his stay at home order…”
Can someone please diagram that sentence for me?
His prayers didn’t work either, funny huh?
But wait, I thought the virus didn’t affect the good folks in red states! You mean that’s not how infectious diseases work??
Little wheel spin and spin, big wheel turn around and around.
Well, at least he’s paying some attention to the numbers, unlike Gov. Worse-Than-Useless here in Texas and the idiots in some other states who are reopening even though infections are still rising.
I guess we will see who is right about the effects of early reopening in a few weeks.
It’s a hot mess. I’m thinking “reconsidering his reversal of the stay at home order,” but I’m not wild about it either.
“O tempora! O mores!”
“Golly gee willikers, no one told me this would happen!”
The virus has been scaling the great wall of christian prayer. Now we need to see if guns and the Second Amendment work against this virus.
In the wider world, Tater, we call this “cause and effect.” I know the idea seems strange and frightening now, but it’s actually a very useful concept.
“Excuse me while I slam this car door on my hand a second time. I want to make sure it hurts as much as I thought it did.”
Well, at least they did not cook the numbers to conceal the increase in infections. It sounds like he should have taken lessons from De Santis and Kemp in “adjusting” the number of infections and causes of death and hope no one notices.
Infections showing up now are at least several days old and probably older so this imbecile is not only vacillating he is (still) badly behind the curve: the next wave has already hit the beach and the next one after tat is coming in.
People have just got to stop voting for idiots like the MS governor, really.
Government is about protecting the people and making life livable. It’s not about exposing the citizenry to high mortality rates, especially when you know how to keep that number down. Whether you believe herd immunity exists or doesn’t, it is clear that no country can approach that 60-70% threshold too quickly without causing more death than needed. It looks like the limit is a “burn rate” (infection rate) of about 5% of the population per month, and that’s with well stocked hospitals, staff, social safety nets, and a robust public sector. In Mississippi’s case, it is questionable whether even a 5% burn rate is safe.
Second thoughts? You say that as if he might have had a first thought.
Colored me colored.
A little dose of the scientific method would work right about here, Guv.
Oops.
Nobody saw this coming.
on her best day, my 6th grade nun would have had no chance. and she was good.
“Me LIKE”
(that’s me, with my reaction to this doofus having to face reality)
