5. Mississippi
The COVID-19 delta variant is ripping through Mississippi, quadrupling cases numbers since June and leaving behind a deficit of ICU beds, overflowing emergency rooms and shuttered schools.
The state is currently recording an average of 48 new daily Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people, which is a big 62% increase since last week. If last week 34% of Mississippians were fully vaccinated, this week the numbers slightly increased to 36.4%.
In Hinds County, community spread is averaging 71.4 new cases per 100,000 people, making it the state’s hot spot.
The state health department aligned with guidance from the CDC, recommends that all residents, regardless of their vaccination status, to wear face masks indoors.
Next, the Show Me State probably shouldn’t at the moment…..

I JOINED USA NAVY IN 1964 TO AVOID THE ARMY DRAFT.
I ATTENDED ELECTRICIAN SCHOOL AND WENT TO AN
AIRCRAFT CARRIER IN SAN DIEGO. WE MADE 2 TRIPS TO
VIET NAM. OUR SHIP HAD 3,500 MEN ABORD; I WAS PROMOTED
TO E-4 ELECTRICIANS MATE. I DO NOT REGRET ANY DECIONS
THAT I MADE IN MY LIFE. MY WIFE AND I ARE MARRIED 50
YEARS NOW. PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I AM SURE
THAT EVERYONE AGREES…AMEN.
