Expert: COVID surge in Mississippi ‘does not appear to be worrisome’
SUMMARY: COVID-19 cases in Mississippi are increasing, with weekly totals in August reaching record levels. The state has one of the highest COVID-19 hospital admission rates in the country, particularly in counties near the Alabama border. However, the recent strand of the virus is causing milder symptoms compared to previous surges. Governor Tate Reeves has stated that he will not enforce another mask mandate, believing that Mississippians have the right to make their own decisions about the pandemic. Health experts recommend that those who are elderly or have underlying conditions take extra precautions and get vaccinated.

Can Kiffin turn the tide and achieve first win against Saban on Saturday?
SUMMARY: Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is hoping to secure his first victory over his former boss, Nick Saban, as the Rebels prepare to face Alabama. Kiffin has previously lost all three matchups against Saban since taking over as head coach at Ole Miss. However, last season, Ole Miss came close to defeating Alabama, demonstrating promise and competitiveness. This year, Kiffin is relieved that former Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young is no longer on the Alabama roster. The game will be a challenge for Alabama's starting signal caller, Jalen Milroe, who will face a defense led by former Saban assistant Pete Golding.

Mississippi Hospital Association parts ways with president Tim Moore
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Hospital Association (MHA) has removed its president, Tim Moore, following the departure of several hospitals from the organization. Moore confirmed that his last day on the job is September 22. The decision to oust Moore comes after eight hospitals and health systems decided to withdraw their memberships from the MHA. The withdrawals followed a $250,000 donation to a political action committee associated with the MHA, which supported a Democratic gubernatorial candidate who advocated for expanded Medicaid. Kim Hoover will replace Moore as president and CEO of the MHA.
