A
The
latest
coronavirus
numbers
from
the
state
were
not
available,
as
this
was
being
recorded
and
no
new
numbers
were
released
by
the
state
on
Thursday
because
of
technical
issues.
What
we
do
have
from
the
Mississippi
State
Department
of
Health
are
the
numbers
from
Wednesday
and
they
married
repeating.
There
had
been
a
total
of
374
new
cases
of
Kovac
19
identified
Wednesday.
The
state
also
reported
21
deaths
on.
When
is
dead.
You
can
see
the
growth
since
day,
one
in
this
chart.
A
The
overall
total
on
Wednesday
was
18
thousand
four
hundred
and
eighty-three
cases
since
day,
one
and
a
total
of
868
deaths.
Statewide
since
day,
one
this
chart
shows
the
daily
comparison
of
new
cases
reported
in
the
state
over
the
past
14
days
in
Harrison
County,
the
numbers
are
on
the
increase.
Wednesday
12
new
cases
were
reported
that
day
and
11
new
cases
were
reported
the
day
before.
Here's
the
14
day
numbers
for
Harrison
County
pay
attention
to
the
average
on
June
5th.
A
week
ago.
A
A
Remember
the
recommendations,
follow
the
recommendations,
social
distancing,
wash
your
hands
for
we
avoid
crowds.
And
yes,
if
you
go
to
the
store,
the
advice
is
that
you
should
wear
a
mask.
It's
personal
responsibility
joining
us
this
morning
is
Tom
and
Dougal
the
chief
executive
officer
for
merit
health.
How
are
you
doing
well?
How
are
you
I've
got
a
question
and
it's
got
to
do
with
these
numbers
of
coronavirus
cases.
Are
you
seeing
them
go
up?
We.
B
Are
seeing
an
increase
in
cases,
but
it's
tending
to
be
community-acquired
cases
where
people
are
presenting
to
our
emergency
department
into
a
physician's
clinic
and
they
have
really
mild
symptoms,
but
they're
testing
positive,
recovered,
we're
still
having
few
admissions
for
Kevin
positive
patients.
We
at
one.
A
B
B
When
the
original
testing
started,
we
were
reporting
the
number
of
positives
and
we
were
reporting,
ICU,
bed
utilization
and
now
the
most
interesting
statistic
to
me
and
to
many
of
my
colleagues
that
also
run
hospitals
is
a
number
of
hospitalizations,
and
so
that's
really
the
metric
that
matters
at
this
point,
because
it
indicates
the
number
of
patients
with
a
severity
of
illness,
substantial
enough
to
require
hospital
care.
Now.
A
B
We're
still
learning
a
lot
about
the
corona
virus
cases,
and
you
know
our
team
just
this
morning
was
laughing
because
there
was
a
study
that
was
talked
about
on
the
radio
this
morning.
That
bald
men
are
more
likely
to
have
honest-to-goodness.
That
was
a
story
this
morning
and
it's
it's
a
fascinating
time,
because,
as
we're
learning
about
the
corona
virus
and
by
the
way,
I
don't
think
necessarily
fall
risk.
Thank.
B
Just
this
week
we
had
an
interesting
story
that
came
out
from
World
Health
Organization's,
saying
that
then
their
early
studies,
they
were
finding
that
asymptomatic
patients
were
not
as
likely
to
be
infectious
to
others
and
within
24
hours
they
were
walking.
That
statement
back
saying
is
too
early.
We
don't
know
for
sure,
and
so.
B
B
Absolutely
I
don't
think.
We've
ever
had
a
time
when
personal
accountability
for
health
has
been
more
important
than
right
now.
If
someone
is
at
risk,
if
they
tend
to
have
risk
factors
that
make
them
more
susceptible
to
become
infected
by
any
kind
of
virus,
much
less
coronavirus,
they
need
to
be
very
aware
that
make
very
special
precautions
take
special
precautions,
but.
B
You
know
don't
have
respecters
and
they
don't
tend
to
be
a
deal
they're,
probably
okay,
to
be
back
out
in
the
community.
Now
we
certainly
encourage
social
distancing
and
making
wise
decisions.
I
was
in
the
gym
this
morning
and
it
was
real
pleased
to
see
all
of
my
other
fellow
gym
rats
in
there
and
everybody's
wiping
down
equipment
and
they're
keeping
their
distances
and
all
those
things,
but
I
think
it's
okay
for
those
folks
to
be
back
out
in
the
gym.
As
long
as
we're
being
cautious.
A
Give
people
an
idea
of
the
men
that
you
have
in
place
over
it
merit
to
one
of
our
big
concerns
has
been,
and
we
heard
this
from
you.
You
worry
about
people
being
afraid
to
seek
medical
attention,
give
people
an
idea
of
what's
in
place.
It
married
right
now
and
the
things
you're
doing
to
make
it
a
safe
environment.
Absolutely.
B
That
is
our
number
one
priority
and
we
like
to
use
the
phrase
that
we're
the
kovetz
safe
Hospital
because
of
the
number
of
precautions
that
we
have
in
place,
we're
doing
deep
cleaning
of
all
areas
on
a
very
regular
basis.
All
of
our
staff
is
wearing
masks
all
the
time.
We're
going
to
continue
that
indefinitely.
B
Hand-Washing
is
constant,
I
think
I
wash
my
hands,
probably
28
or
30
times
a
day
and
I'm
not
in
a
cave
patient
care
area,
so
our
patient
care
technicians
and
nurses,
they're,
probably
washing
their
hands
fifty
to
a
hundred
times
a
day,
so
they're,
very
regular,
hand-washing
being
exceptionally
cautious.
We're
still
have
been
very
pleased
with
the
results
where
we've
had
only
one
or
two
paper
employees
that
have
tested
positive
in
this
entire
time
period,
which
has
been
amazing
and
even
the
one
that
we
did
have
tests
positive.
B
That
person
had
worn
a
mask
continuously,
so
there
was
no
concern
about
infecting
other
fellow
employees.
So
we
we
just
use
a
lot
of
precautions
when
a
patient
comes
to
our
Hospital
they're
gonna
have
a
certain
type
of
experience.
They'll
see
a
lot
of
signage
when
they
come
into
the
hospital.
The
first
thing
they
see
is
one
of
our
great
team
members
sitting
behind
a
desk
and
they're
gonna.
Ask
them
some
questions
about
the.
A
B
Medical
conditions
are
going
to
check
their
temperature
they're
gonna.
Ask
them
to
put
on
a
mask:
ask
them
to
use
hand
sanitizer
it's
a
antimicrobial
alcohol-based
that
they're
going
to
use
and
then,
while
they're
in
our
facility,
we
ask
them
just
to
be
very
cautious
with
everything
there
doing.
You.
B
But
really
that's
like
four
bids
or
patients,
visitors,
everyone
and
we
have
made
budget
Auto
visitors.
We
made
a
change
in
our
visitor
policy
just
recently,
where
we're
now
allowing
one
visitor
for
each
patient,
that's
in
the
facility,
whether
it's
a
surgical,
patient
and
admitted
patient
and
the
patient
in
our
emergency
department,
and
it
has
to
be
an
adult,
healthy
person.
That's
the
visitor
and
we
ask
them
to
follow
the
same
precautions
of
wearing
a
mask,
washing
their
hands.
Doing
all
those
things.
It
is
it's
a
recognition
of
that.
B
A
B
Conferencing
that
so
you
know,
if
you
had
a
for
example,
if
someone
was
admitted
to
the
hospital-
and
you
know-
that's
an
elderly
person
and
their
spouse
isn't
comfortable
coming
to
the
hospital,
no
problem,
we
can
arrange
for
a
videoconference
so
that
the
spouses
can
talk
to
each
other
and
to
also
talk
to
the
physician
and
to
the
nurses
and
get
all
the
information
that
they
need.
Another.
B
B
A
B
That
is
a
possibility.
We
again
we
are
still
learning
so
much
about
this
virus.
We
don't
understand
really
how
it
impacts
people
we
still
don't
have
a
handle
as
a
not
just
a
country
as
a
world
with
how
many
people
will
be
positive
for
the
infection
that
are
asymptomatic,
the
entire
time
that
they
had
there
I.
B
Have
it
right
now,
but
potentially,
but
we
don't
have
weeks,
we
don't
have,
but
we're
asymptomatic,
so
we
don't
know
and
the
testing
availability
is
so
limited
still
that
there's
no
way
for
you
and
I
just
to
get
tested.
The
testing
capabilities
have
been
limited
to
patients
having
symptoms
for
the
most
part,
and
so
as
we
learn
how
many
people
are
infected
yet
asymptomatic.
It's
going
to
help
us
better
understand,
I,
don't
know
where
this
will
go,
we're
all
very
familiar
with
the
flu
and
the
flu
has
been
around
for
a
very
long
time.
B
We
know
how
that's
contracted.
We
know
how
people
get
it
we're
going
to
learn
so
much
more
about
the
corona
virus
over
the
coming
months
and
years
and
we'll
have
a
better
understanding
just
like
what
we
do
at
the
flu.
We
know
what
we
do
with
the
flu
now
right,
so
we
know
that
everyone's
encouraged
to
get
a
flu
vaccine
each
year,
particularly
if
you
have
respecters
and
I
think
we'll
get
to
that
point,
but
it
will
be
at
a
point
where
we
have
the
availability
of
that
saying.
We
understand
the
effectiveness
of
the
vaccine.
B
B
Are
a
lot
of
people
that
say
that
I
believe
that
an
uninformed
opinion
I
do
believe
that
the
corona
virus
is
very
serious
and
we
need
to
take
it
very
seriously.
I,
don't
know,
though,
to
the
extent
of
what's
the
appropriate
level
of
reaction,
and
until
we
have
more
research
studies
to
show
us
the
severity
of
illness,
how
its
contracted
who's
at
risk
for
getting
sick
that
it's
hard
for
us
to
say
how
serious
it
really
is,
but
we're
taking
it
very
serious.
B
A
B
Are
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
preparation
and
planning
to
make
sure
we
have
the
safest
environment
possible
for
our
patients
to
come
through
and
have
surgery?
We
are
doing.
We've
returned
back
now
to
where
we're
doing
about
85
90
percent
of
the
surgeries
we
were
doing
before
the
code.
I
am,
and
so
we've
had
a
real
nice
bounce-back
in
our
surgical
volumes.
Interestingly
enough
I've
been
talking
to
our
surgeons
and
there's
there's
several
levels
of
surgery.
You
have
low
severity
surgeries
which
are
very
elective
in
nature.
B
They
may
be
screening
in
nature,
they
may
be
minor.
Then
you
have
the
high
severity
of
surgeries,
which
you
know
they're
potentially
life-threatening
things
that
are
very
concerning
you
know.
Maybe
it's
a
total
hip
replacement
or
a
total
knee
replacement,
so
you
have.
But
then
you
also
have
this
middle
level
of
surgeries
and
what's
been
really
interesting
to
us.
Is
our
volumes
return
for
the
low
acuity
surgeries
and
for
the
high
acuity
surgeries,
the
middle
acuity
surgeries
seem
to
be
delayed.
B
Still
I
was
talking
with
one
of
our
great
orthopedic
surgeons
just
this
week
and-
and
he
told
me
he
said
he
said
yeah-
he
said
you
know
the
month
of
June,
my
surgical
volume,
that's
pretty
normal
and
he
said
maybe
down
a
little
bit.
He
said
the
month
of
August
is
crazy.
Busy
he's
already
booked
completely
for
the
month
of
August,
and
we
were
talking
about
that.
B
That
may
be
because
the
media
has
just
pounded
in
to
all
of
us
that
you
know
maybe
by
August
everything
is
safe
and
okay,
but
in
terms
of
having
surgery
now
it
is
safe
to
have
surgery.
What
we
are
encouraging
is
for
patients
and
physicians
to
make
the
best
decision
for
that
individual
patient.
Is
this
important
for
the
patient
to
go
ahead
and
have
the
surgery,
or
should
they
continue
to
delay
and.
A
B
Want
to
make
sure
the
community
knows
how
much
we
care
about
you.
We
spend
an
enormous
amount
of
time
in
preparation
and
planning
to
make
sure
that
we
are
safe
for
you
to
return
to
care.
My
most
important,
urging
or
asking
of
the
community
is
that
they
will
not
delay
care
if
they're
having
warning
signs
that
chest
pain,
they're,
feeling
or
dizziness
or
headache
or
abdominal
pain.
Putting
that
care
off
not
coming
to
the
emergency
department
and
getting
that
checked
out
is
exceptionally
concerning.
B
We've
got
a
lot
of
patients
that
coming
to
our
emergency
apartment
and
they'll,
say
you
know
when
they
come
in
we're
having
to
admit
them
to
the
hospital,
because
then
they
tell
us
I've
had
chest
pains,
it's
just
been
crushing
for
three
days.
Well,
that's
not
good.
They
should.
They
should
have
come
in
on
the
day
that
it
started
hurting
them
like
that,
and
perhaps
they
would
have
avoided
being
admitted
to
the
hospital
and.
B
The
biggest
ask
I
would
have
of
the
entire
community
is
don't
ignore
warning
signs?
If
you
have
concerns
we,
we
have
an
emergency
department
that
is
carefully
planned
and
designed
so
that
it's
a
safe
environment,
the
risk
of
infection
of
Kovan
and
our
emergency
departments,
exceptionally
small
you're,
more
likely
to
get
it
at
a
restaurant
or
oh.
B
Of
all
the
precautions
we've
taken,
I
don't
want
to
scare
anyone
that
just
it's
safe
to
come
and
if
you're
having
those
warning
signs.
Please
do
not
ignore
this.
We
care
about
their
health
and
safety,
and
it
makes
me
a
little
nervous
that
we're
seeing
some
indications
that
patients
are
putting
off
care
when
they
do
have
those
warning
signs.
If.
A
Appreciate
it
you're
seeing
more
and
more
businesses
expanding
hours
or
services
and
you're
beginning
to
see
more
special
events
return.
In
fact,
the
city
announced
today
that
it's
for
splash
pads
are
opening
to
the
public.
Beginning
Saturday
morning
there
they're
going
to
be
open
daily
from
9
a.m.
to
8
p.m.
the
splash
pads
are
at
Hiller
Park,
Point,
cadet
Plaza,
the
Margaret,
sherry
library
and
John
Henry
Beck
park.
That's
our
report
today,
we'll
be
back
on
Monday
with
the
new
report.
