Might have a lot to do with Biden basically throwing open the southern border, then spreading the illegal immigrants all over the US, carrying their diseases, including Covid, with them. And they seem to be mostly spreading the "immigrants" into "red" states ....

Fun fact, in the north american continent, outside of 2 small countries with under 200K in population, the US has the most covid cases per 100K. If we added enough of them, our cases per 100K would go down.

Its why this racist dog whistle dont hunt.

When it is clear that you have low, if not the lowest rate of vaccination and the highest rate of COVID death, it should not be hard to connect the dots. The behavior of unvaccinated black people is risky, ignorant and selfish and doesn’t have a damn thing to do with Tuskegee. These people don’t know what’s in Chicken McNuggets but they don’t have a problem eating them.

And don’t get me started on the 45% of unvaccinated Republicans.
You may as well get started; no one is going to take you seriously. The only source I can find for the 45% number is WaPo, and how would they know?.......... No one ever asked me if I was a Democrat or Republican when I got my shot. Someone ask you?

The real tragedy to me, is that I don't think it came from a weapons lab, but from a lab with good as it's goal.

I can't fault the values of those who want to end human suffering by the application of science, but it's an inescapable likelihood that humanity can cause a virus to be far more lethal, than evolution can.

NJ, NY and MA ALL lead MS in terms of death rate from Covid. Florida? Not even in the top 20...25 to be exact. If you think FL and MS are doing badly, you must recognize what utter disasters NJ, NY or MA are. But of course we knew that in most areas anyway.

Default Mississippi’s hospital system could fail within 5-10 days. Gov.

This is bad news and not the only state with this surge. I give Tate Reeves credit for promoting the vaccine but he didn't really get serious until June.

As Mississippi’s top medical professionals worked to sound the alarm on Wednesday about an imminent failure of the state’s hospital system due to the surging COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Tate Reeves downplayed the severity of the situation and urged Mississippians to “remain calm.”

The University of Mississippi Medical Center is so overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients during the state’s worst wave of cases that it is constructing a field hospital in a parking garage to increase capacity.

The state’s largest medical center, completely out of staffed intensive care unit beds, is just one of the many medical facilities across the state on the verge of collapse as the delta variant causes a level of need the state’s healthcare workers cannot meet.

“If we track back a week or so when we look at the case positivity rate, the rate of new cases, the rate of hospitalizations — if we continue that trajectory within the next five to seven to 10 days, I think we’re going to see failure of the hospital system in Mississippi,” Dr. Alan Jones, UMMC associate vice chancellor for clinical affairs, said during a press conference on Wednesday.

Trump sent the USNS Comfort to New York and USNS Mercy to California when they were overwhelmed. Why isn’t Biden sending one to Mississippi? Or did Trump care more about those who didn’t vote for him than Biden does?
