Dr. Alan Jones, associate vice chancellor for clinical affairs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, told ABC affiliate WAPT in Jackson, Mississippi, that his facility is currently treating four pediatric COVID-19 patients, two of whom are on ventilators.
Hospital systems are not currently overwhelmed, but Dobbs said there are"concerns about it going forward, as has been seen in other states" due to delta, which has become the dominant variant nationwide.Mississippi's daily COVID-19 case average has more than doubled in the last three weeks. Less than three weeks ago, there were under 100 patients receiving care for COVID-19 in Mississippi. As of July 11, there were nearly 200. Hospital admissions have also increased by 26.
The delta variant is surging as Mississippi has the second-lowest vaccination rate in the country, with approximately one-third of the state's total population fully vaccinated, according to the CDC. The"vast majority" of cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the state now are in unvaccinated people, Dobbs said.

So we're failing our kids they're supposed to be going back to school without masks in lots of parts of the United States I'm glad in California our governor is looking out for the teachers and the students and recommending masks are worn
The Biden administration is just letting the delta variant spread because the democrats want to make the illusion of a robust economy cause by opening up. They never cared about the people it was all political. The peasant are expendable to them 🤷♂️
Nice fear mongering
republicans really need to start acting like 'pro lifers'

Warning? Why not vaccinate children now.
When US going to allow investigation on the Fort Detrick at Maryland on the leak of Covid19?
hehe thats because they had the vaccine as it goes into your delta muscle, thats why this oh so deadly version is called that way. Crazy, nobody understands it. Damn why are we so dumb.
This seems like more media propaganda to create more fear monger. This is a reach

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a woman who recommended me to Lucille610406 here on Twitter she guides me through and i made a return of $20,105 after a week of trading connect with her Lucille610406
Fear is the great manipulator, the more afraid people are, the more controllable they are. This is a media induced hysteria. With Trump we got Covid, but with Biden we got the Delta variant, faster and deadlier.

Talk about some propaganda
good
It’s spreading?
Stop the fear-mongering about variants. The cases are at a low right now and you're still trying to keep people afraid. Fear is the great manipulator, the more afraid people are, the more controllable they are. This is a media induced hysteria.
Mississippi doesn’t seem to care about life.
