The
Wall Street Journal's William Mauldin
reported Saturday from
Wayne County, Mississippi, "Coronavirus Outbreak Pushes Rural Mississippi Hospital to Brink." Here's the lede:
The coronavirus pandemic is challenging Mississippi’s rural health-care system as outbreaks worsen in far-flung areas at the same time state officials allow all businesses to reopen.
Deep in the state’s southeastern Pine Belt, the latest pressure point is Wayne County, population 20,000, which is served by a single hospital that is more than an hour by ambulance from a larger one in Hattiesburg and two hours from the university medical center in Jackson.
