Dobbs says recent social events have contributed to jumps in coronavirus cases in Mississippi.Mississippi is seeing a sharp uptick in new coronavirus cases.
The increase is not from more testing. Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs says the amount of testing has been relatively stable, but that more people are testing positive."It's people spreading it in the community," he tells NPR's"It seems like we went from a shutdown mentality to it's an all-open mentality," Dobbs says."Especially with the social gatherings, what we've seen time and time again are violations.
Dobbs says contact tracing points to specific events, including fraternity parties, as being behind spikes in certain parts of the state. He talked with NPR's Steve Inskeep.It's highly variable. We have a sense that particularly within the African American community, we've had some good uptake and appreciate that we've made some progress on that front.
I think the communities that haven't been affected so much have taken a little bit of a more complacent approach to it. And now we're starting to see them pay for it as we're seeing elevated cases, more transmission in those areas. You know, the virus doesn't care where you live. If you let your guard down, it's going to spread.Well, it's stressing it out, quite honestly. That's something that we're extremely concerned about.
We don't anticipate in our office that we're going sort of [let] up at all for probably another year. And so we gotta to find something that we can live with that stops transmission or we'll be in this sort of roller coaster cycle of close down, full open. And it's going to tear us up.
