Seriously, there are more important things to figure out than changing the virus' fucking name for political purposes.

What most people aren't hearing yet but is starting to gain some traction is that a lot of deaths are not being reported. Either they aren't tested - pending a test, and they aren't doing any post-mortem tests on the untested patents that die.

Also that these patients die alone. Most hospitals have a no-visitor policy in place.
We have a pretty strict policy in effect - comfort care/actively dying can have 1 vistor a day for 30 minutes. Minors can have 1 parent. And a woman giving birth can have 1 vistor - but not in the delivery room - as we can't spare the PPE for them.
The Covid patients that die aren't considered "actively dying" - most are still full code and isn't a planned event to where we can arrange a visitor in time.
Doctors And Nurses Say More People Are Dying Of COVID-19 In The US Than We Know
“The numbers are grossly underreported. I know for a fact that we’ve had three deaths in one county where only one is listed on the website,” one California ER doctor told BuzzFeed News.

oh...and the Governor of Mississippi is a piece of shit.
Some mayors in cities like Tupelo had to reverse their "stay-at-home" orders because the Governor issued his own order that overrides them...and it isn't as strict of an order.

(My mom and brother live in Mississippi, both aren't in the greatest of health, mom is old and a smoker, brother is a Type 1 Diabetic and smoker...and my brother is also a nurse in a Gulfport hospital)
The Govenor did this just as Louisiana is exploding with positive cases....Alabama is growing, and Florida will become the next hot spot. Mississippi (as is most of the south) is full of sick, poor people that won't be able to pray this away and go to church for Easter.

Changes made to Tupelo's executive order
Tupelo city council made changes to the city's executive order after Gov. Reeves issued his new guidelines for slowing the spread of coronavirus.

It is going to be too late to do anything once a lot of people stop thinking it's a hoax. Probably when they can't breathe and there isn't a ventilator or ICU bed for them.

It's unfortunate it will get to that, but hopefully there is a reckoning for the leadership that will completely fail them. My personal opinion is also that the sacrificed lives will not save the economy at all (I'm not an economist, so this is really just my own thought process and maybe I'm wrong, but I'm afraid that the resulting chaos will still cause it to tank).

TL;DR - Best case senario is that this will cycle over the next year - until we have a vaccine.

A Woman With Lupus Said Her Health Care Provider Is Stopping Her Chloroquine Prescription And Thanked Her For The “Sacrifice”
"The fact that they thanked me for my 'sacrifice' is disturbing," she told BuzzFeed News. "I never agreed to sacrifice my health and possibly my life and cannot believe that I am being forced to do so."

This will affect our borders as well. What are we going to do with truck traffic if there's so much spread? Additional measures will have to be in place (not sure what but I could see a forced quarantine of foreign drivers to their trucks while here, forced quarantine of canadian drivers when they return, maybe exchange of cargo at the border?) - none of this is good and it's all sure to piss of their leadership.

everything needs to pause for however long this lasts. No rent, no mortgage, no banks collecting, nothing.

Hey Mississippi Man!!! Louisiana Woman here, and I grew up in Starkville!
I'm in Louisiana and it's about to get dire. We had 20 deaths yesterday alone. I'm patiently waiting for our numbers to come in to see how fast that rate goes up. I'm so worried about how fast our curve is rising and it doesn't look like it's flattening any time soon.
Also, for everyone's sanity and amusement, the rise and fall of the armchair epidemiologist:
Flatten the Curve of Armchair Epidemiology

Unemployment claims soared to 3.3 million last week, most in history
3.3 million Americans filed for their first week of unemployment benefits last week, as businesses shut down to slow the spread of the coronavirus. That is the highest number of initial claims in history.

Yeah...it looks bad there. Seems the incubation period of Mardi Gras is finally appearing - 2 weeks incubation - 2 weeks for the symptoms to get really bad.
I'm not from Mississippi, tho. My parents retired there from Illinois (to Wiggins, MS of all places - may have to Google it.) My brother moved there to take care of my dad when he was on hospice. My brother wasn't in a great place so it was good for him heath-wise, too. So he's been living with our mom while taking nursing classes and just got his licence about a year ago. They both moved down to Gulfport a couple years ago after my dad past away.
I visit every couple years - take in a Waffle House...try to understand what people are saying, as the accents confuse me.

What is about to unfold will be horrifying, unquestionably. The situation in New York, which could become the new global epicentre of the disease, is dire.
To make matters worse – much, much worse – the U.S. is being led by a dangerous egomaniac who has lied to and misled Americans about the gravity of the threat they’re facing almost from the beginning. Now, he is musing about grossly inflaming a problem he had a chance to mitigate. Mr. Trump is threatening to ignore the advice of virtually every major public health officer in the U.S. – including his own White House adviser on infectious diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
I'm sorry guys but this will not end well I'm afraid.
