THE BUZZ!
The water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi, has gotten so bad, the city temporarily ran out of bottled water to give to residents
Remember the water issues in Flint, Michigan?
Something similar is happening in Jackson Mississippi. The city is facing a major water crisis and does not have enough water to fight fires, flush toilets or even hand out to residents in need.
residents are complaining about discolored water coming from pipes and the city has been under a a boil water notice “for a whole month.
According to Mississippi’s Governor Jackson’s main water treatment facility began failing Monday.
Officials said the National Guard was even called in to help distribute 700 cases of bottled water as crews work to get the water treatment plant back online.
Many Residents waited in lines over a mile long but many were turned away after water ran out.
There is more relief coming as Jackson’s Mayor said the city is working on more water distribution events. And the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency will provide nearly 30 water trucks to help supplement the city events.
I can’t even imagine having to go through something like that. But that is not the first time we have seen something like this happen here in the U.S.

Man tests positive for HIV, COVID-19, and monkeypox at the same time, report says
But this is. For the first time Doctors say a man has tested positive for Covid-19, Monkey Pox, and HIV at the same time.
Something that has never happened ever in the world a man has contracted all three virus after his trip to Spain.
The man first tested positive for Covid-19 and within hours started getting a rash and small blisters.
He then tested positive for Monkey pox and in that same day he tested positive for HIV.
Doctors involved in the study wrote that “As this is the only reported case of monkey pox virus, SARS-CoV-2 and HIV co-infection, there is still not enough evidence supporting that this combination may aggravate [a] patient’s condition.
They added that while it is the first known case of its kind, more will likely follow given the rapid spread of monkeypox, with more than 45,000 cases reported in 98 countries.
All three wasn’t the magic number this time.
