Wellness Wednesday: Five years since COVID-19
SUMMARY: Five years after COVID-19 emerged, Dr. Quinn reflects on the pandemic’s impact, noting over 7 million worldwide deaths, with Mississippi recording 1,000. Although COVID continues to circulate, hospitalizations and deaths are down, attributed to widespread vaccinations and natural infections that strengthened immune defenses. Dr. Quinn emphasizes the importance of vaccination to enhance protection against the virus and its variants. He hopes history will recognize the lessons learned about health and self-care during the pandemic, particularly for vulnerable populations. The pandemic has changed societal behavior, with more people wearing masks in crowded settings compared to pre-COVID times.

MSDH inspects Chapel Ridge Apartments
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH) and city leaders inspected Chapel Ridge Apartments in Jackson due to poor living conditions and trash overflow. City Councilman Vernon Hartley is advocating for an emergency declaration to use city and state resources to address the issues. The apartments, considered private property, limit the city’s ability to intervene fully. Hartley hopes declaring it a public health hazard will enable cleanup efforts, such as providing dumpsters. The trash problem has persisted for almost a month, and a motion for a potential cleanup process will be introduced at the next city council meeting.
