Power outages and water problems continue in Mississippi amid the aftermath of winter storms that hit the South U.S. this week.

Four things to know:

1. Most Jackson residents do not have adequate water pressure. City officials in Jackson, the Mississippi capital, said they are working to restore water pressure to customers, but did not provide a definitive timeline for restoration, according to ABC News. Meanwhile, the city is distributing water and tweeted the distribution locations on Feb. 19.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves also tweeted Feb. 18, encouraging residents to "look after your loved ones and neighbors — share resources and check in."

2. Some homes and businesses have regained power, but many remain without.
PowerOutage.US shows more than 86,800 of the 1.3 million Mississippi homes and businesses the website tracks were without power as of 4:34 p.m. Feb. 19. In neighboring Louisiana, nearly 57,000 of the 2.1 million homes and businesses tracked were without power around that same time.

3. Many COVID-19 vaccine sites are closed. The Mississippi State Department of Health announced Feb. 18 that it would operate some COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites Feb. 19, but many will remain closed in the state's central and northern areas.

4. Below-freezing temperatures are expected overnight. The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued a hard freeze warning in some of the state's counties, including Winston, Hinds, Noxubee, Leake and Neshoba. The warning begins at 6 p.m. Feb. 19 and extends into the morning of Feb. 20. Temperatures are expected to warm up later during the weekend.

Sounds like Mississippi is a third world state!!

President Joe Biden said Tuesday the U.S. expects to take delivery of enough coronavirus vaccine for all adults by the end of May — two months earlier than anticipated — and he pushed states to get at least one shot into the arms of teachers by the end of March to hasten school reopenings.

Biden also announced that drugmaker Merck will help produce rival Johnson & Johnson’s newly approved one-shot vaccine, likening the partnership between the two drug companies to the spirit of national cooperation during World War II.

“We’re now on track to have enough vaccine supply for every adult in America by the end of May,” Biden said.

One of President Biden's stated goals for his first 100 days in office was to get all K12 schools back open in the country.

President Biden announced today the Federal Pharmacy program. Every teacher, school administrator, child care worker, bus driver, custodian, maintenance person, you name it, is eligible this month starting March 8th to get at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine this month. All these people are challenged to get vaccinated this month !!! by visiting the CDC website and making a local appointment.

The Biden administration is rapidly expanding the number of vaccinators and vaccine sites.

The CDC brokered the historic partnership between Johnson & Johnson and Merck to rapidly deliver their one shot vaccine to educators across the country.

Report: Border Crossers Released into U.S. by Biden Officials Test Positive for Coronavirus



Border crossers released into the interior of the United States by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus just as President Joe Biden has denied that there is “a crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border.


After taking office, Biden reinstated the Catch and Release program where border crossers are freed into the U.S. interior while they await asylum and immigration hearings that many do not ultimately attend, instead opting to live illegally in the country.


Aside from about 25,600 migrants enrolled in the now-canceled Remain in Mexico program, border crossers released into the U.S. interior are not required to test negative for the coronavirus. Instead, communities along the border are being forced to test border crossers themselves.


A report by NBC News on Tuesday confirmed that border crossers are testing positive for the coronavirus after being released by DHS officials into the U.S. interior:


Miriam Izaguirre, a 35-year-old asylum-seeker from Honduras, crossed the Rio Grande at dawn Monday with her young son and turned herself in to the authorities. [Emphasis added]


A few hours later she was released, and the first thing she did was take a rapid test for Covid-19 at the Brownsville bus station. They told her her test came out positive. [Emphasis added]


…


Several of the asylum-seekers who tested positive told Noticias Telemundo Investiga they were planning to leave Brownsville for their destinations; one of them bought a bus ticket for the journey. Eva Orellana, 29, who is from Honduras and who tested positive, said she was going to take the bus to North Carolina with her 3-year-old daughter. “On the way, we were wearing a mask all the time, gel, washing our hands,” she said. “Really, I don’t feel anything.” [Emphasis added]





In Brownsville, Texas, where border crossers are being released, city officials are having to test for the coronavirus. Since city officials began testing on January 25, they told NBC News that that almost 110 border crossers have tested positive. This is a positivity rate of 6.3 percent.


Even after border crossers test positive, at least in Brownsville, they are not required to quarantine. Border crossers interviewed by NBC News said they had tested positive but were planning to continue traveling throughout the U.S. interior to states like North Carolina, Maryland, and New Jersey.


The report comes as Biden, just today, said there is no “crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border. On Monday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also said there was no crisis at the border, claiming the administration is “managing” a massive influx of illegal immigration and releases of border crossers into the U.S. interior.


Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), along with other Senate Republicans, demanded answers from the Biden administration last month on their release of border crossers without coronavirus testing requirements after Breitbart News pressed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on the issue.

And if Johnson&Johnson had their vaccine ready 3 months earlier the Dempanic would already be over. Face the truth for once. Biden has done nothing but follow the plan that President Trump laid out.

In Mississippi, Black residents are desperate to get vaccinated. But they face access barriers.
Mississippi has one of the worst racial gaps in vaccination rates in the country, even as Black residents are hit hardest by the pandemic.

The msm have tried this race baiting over here regarding the vaccine.

I buy weed occasionally, the person I get it from is black and lives with a couple of other black people.
None of them want the vaccine. I don't see what barriers there are, maybe it's different here.

Everyone I know over 50yrs hasn't gotten it either.
