oh...and the Governor of Mississippi is a piece of shit.
Some mayors in cities like Tupelo had to reverse their "stay-at-home" orders because the Governor issued his own order that overrides them...and it isn't as strict of an order.

(My mom and brother live in Mississippi, both aren't in the greatest of health, mom is old and a smoker, brother is a Type 1 Diabetic and smoker...and my brother is also a nurse in a Gulfport hospital)
The Govenor did this just as Louisiana is exploding with positive cases....Alabama is growing, and Florida will become the next hot spot. Mississippi (as is most of the south) is full of sick, poor people that won't be able to pray this away and go to church for Easter.
