At least something in this state knows what the hell they’re doing and isn’t trying to kill everyone with their incompetence.

COVID-19, governor, incompetence, Johnson County, Mike Parson, missouri, pandemic, stay at home order

Missouri Governor Mike Parson (r) has not issued a “stay at home” order for the state. Because, we don’t know, “rural, something, something.”

The Johnson County, Missouri Commission and Johnson County Community Health Services, on the other hand:

Corona virus, COVID-19, DHSS, missouri, pandemic, statistics

The current statistics on the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak for Missouri from the Department of Health and Senior Services:

Cases in Missouri: 1327
Total Deaths: 14
Patients tested in Missouri (by all labs): approximately 15,645

The number for “Patients tested in Missouri” has not changed from yesterday’s DHSS report.

This means that 8.48% of all COVID-19 tests in Missouri are positive.

These data are provisional and will change daily. Investigations are being done on new cases, so as additional information is determined on these cases, information such as county, demographics, and the total counts will continue to change. Efforts are continually being made to improve data quality so that DHSS is providing the most accurate information possible.

Cases by county:

Deaths by county:

Cases by age:

Continuing peaks in the 20-24 year old and 45-64 year old age groups.

Stay Home. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Good luck to us all.

Yesterday:

Kevin Killeen @KMOXKilleen
Former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens delivers $80K worth of face masks to STL Fire Department. Poses for pictures, but makes no statement.
[….]
3:23 PM · Mar 30, 2020

Oh, he made a statement alright.

Uh. A few questions:

$80,000.00 worth? Where did he get them? Who paid for it? How did he get them? Why the photo op, seriously? Is he running for office?

Yesterday evening, from Johnson County, Missouri Emergency Operations:

Tests administered: 566
Negative: 452
Positive: 19
Recovered: 1

And this:

The Johnson County Emergency Management Agency has requested the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency’s Missouri-1 Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) to deploy to Johnson County in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We’re taking preventative measures necessary to protect our community.

DMAT is staffed with medical professionals and para-professionals who can help area health systems respond by providing expert patient care. Team members include advanced clinicians, Registered Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Paramedics, Pharmacists, safety specialists, logistical specialists, and administrative specialists.

The team deployed to Johnson County will assist with providing healthcare provider coverage to those local workers either directly or indirectly impacted by COVID-19.

[….]

That can’t be a good sign.

Stay Home. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Good luck to us all.

Al Grimes, Corona virus, COVID-19, Henry County, missouri, Missouri Democratic Party, pandemic

Word on the passing of Democratic Party activist and Henry County Democratic Party Chair Al Grimes (D):

Missouri Democrats @MoDemParty
This morning we learned of the tragic passing of Al Grimes, Henry County Democratic Committee Chair. Our prayers are with Al’s family, friends, and loved ones.
[….]
11:05 AM · Mar 29, 2020

I last saw Al Grimes at a campaign event in Sedalia at the end of January. As with every time our paths crossed, we had a lengthy and interesting conversation.

Al Grimes was one of the nicest people you’d ever meet. He’d go out of his way to engage someone he didn’t know at a meeting or an event. Invariably the conversation would be jovial, very interesting, and positive.

He was one of those memorable happy warriors in Missouri politics.
