That is a terrifying title. Yet, it is real.

Health officials reported the state’s seventh child death from the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic and raised alarms about a string of deaths in unvaccinated pregnant women.

What state has this reality?

The state is lead by a Republican governor.

It has a state GDP of 99.76 billion US. That is nearly it's highest. The highest GDP was a little more than 104 billion.

This far into the pandemic and vaccines the state's hospitals have not been able to keep up with the spread.

That reality in a state within the lower 48 states of the USA is pathetic. There is no excuse for all this disease, hardship and poverty.

Mississippi (click here) is closing its only remaining parking garage field hospital set up to treat coronavirus patients during the delta variant surge, but it is still relying on out-of-state workers to help increase ICU capacity in state hospitals, officials said Wednesday.

Health officials also reported the state’s seventh child death from the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic and raised alarms about a string of deaths in unvaccinated pregnant women. State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said eight pregnant women with coronavirus have died over the past four weeks....

That's right, it is the glorious state of Mississippi. The article below is ten years old, but, I am confident that are still issues with food security in Mississippi.

The number of Americans who use food stamps (lick here) is now close to 46 million, or 15 percent of the population. The government program that provides food stamps is formally known as SNAP, for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. And the number of people who depend on it to buy groceries has grown substantially, even since the recession was officially declared over, back in June of 2009.

The state of Mississippi has the highest percentage of its population — 24 percent — on food stamps of any state in the country. (It's also the most obese state, with 7 of 10 adults in the state either overweight or obese.) That means the government is feeding one Mississippian in five right now.

All Things Considered host Robert Siegel yesterday interviewed John Davis, director of the SNAP program in Mississippi, to find out why so many people count on food stamps there.

"The economic downturn of course is a contributing factor," Davis tells Siegel. "And we know that from a historical standpoint anytime there is a decrease in the job availability, there's going to be an increase in our program."...

Of course, it is the economic downturn, EXCEPT, there never is an economic downturn in Mississippi. The economy of Mississippi is always an economic downturn. That is why the State of Mississippi has 24 percent of the people on SNAP also known as Food Stamps.

So, now babies are dying and is anyone surprised?
