Trash pickup in Gulfport

Not disagreeing that residents should bag up their trash. The problem is that WastePro should make more of an effort. They can flag the violators and report them to the city. Otherwise, we will continue to have trashy streets.

Children & COVID vaccines

Just read that Mississippi has reported the tenth death of a child from the virus. Commentators on morning radio show keep saying that children are unlikely to suffer death from the virus and vaccinations are not needed! Please, someone silence these characters.

The truth about omicron

Take a trip to the hospital and you will see that omicron is more than a runny nose and sore throat. People and children are sick and they are still dying. Stop spreading lies.

Here’s why you should get the COVID vaccine:

▪ Lower risk of contracting COVID-19 and transmitting it to others

▪ Reduces severity should you contract the virus

▪ Greatly reduces the need for hospitalization

▪ Nearly eliminates the likelihood of dying from COVID-19
