The county has reinstated an indoor mask mandate & school board has been firm against gov Lee's parental opt out of masks order.
Other than that, not much they can do.
Counties surrounding Memphis all come to Memphis for hospital care, in addition to much of northern MS.
For some reason unknown to me, they dismantled a 400-bed overflow hospital built out by the Army Corps of Engineers way early.
When it was built, they said it was planned to stay open for either 2 or 4 years - I can't recall which, but we are a long way from that point. 
Anyway, the Dem leadership in Memphis is superb, but overshadowed by qpuke gov & legislature.
Last year the county schools were fully virtual, which likely saved many deaths.
Of course, that drove the gov & his cronies to the poibt of threatening to pull something like $80 mill in school funding. Never happened though.
Madness.
