How Mississippi Quietly Became the New Coronavirus Hotspot

Mississippi is slated to become the worst state in the country for new cases of COVID -- morgues are overflowing, ICU beds are full, and people with other health emergencies are having to travel out of state because the healthcare system is overwhelmed.

There is no second wave if the first wave never ended.
*Well done*

Why are people so damn late to this. They were criticizing and laughing at public health officials and now "oh... well I won't see college football, so it is critical to wear these masks, " like really dude?

It's sad that people from MS most likely won't see this video because it's a conservative state so the media they like is also very conservative.

[caribeeme]

Dude, seriously? He thinks there will be college football in the autumn? Wow. Poor Mississippians for being under his thumb.

[catlat]

hmm I thought rural areas were less prone to COVID 19 since everyone lives far apart from each other. Guess I was wrong

[fefemyluv]

I honestly expect as much. A friend of mind foolishly frequents casinos there and I’ve yet to see anyone in her background photos/videos with masks. It’s sad as hell, especially when their healthcare system is already shitty.
