ARKANSAS — Members of the Arkansas National Guard have been called to active duty by order of the governor.

Governor Asa Hutchinson ordered 14 medics from the Army National Guard to transport positive COVID-19 patients from locations around the state to an isolation facility near the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, according to a news release from the Arkansas National Guard.

This facility provides an isolation location for Arkansans unable to isolate at home due to family considerations, according to the release.

The Guard medics will work in 12-hour shifts around the clock to transport positive COVID-19 patients, as needed.

Yep the government is going to send people to camps? Yeah I have heard this story many times, and it never ends well.

Once again the conspiracy theorists have been proven correct.

"A press release from the guard sent Tuesday afternoon stated the guard would be transporting patients. The guard will not be transporting patients. Instead, they will be assist with things like bringing in food, Gavin Lesnick, Public Information Director for the Arkansas Department of Health, told 40/29 News. The isolation facility was set up for people who test positive for COVID-19 and don't have a safe place to self-quarantine, Lesnick said. This may be because they are homeless or because they live with an elderly family member. All patients who go to the isolation facility do so voluntarily, Lesnick said." - Source

That took like 2 seconds to debunk. Just paranoid fearmongering. Giving homeless people or people who live with an elderly person a safe place to quarantine if they want it. Not exactly the end of the world.

One might even consider it kind.

Or just good planning, so you don’t get a bunch of COVID-19 positive people hanging out at home with elderly relatives who then catch it and die.

A move that’s known in some circles as “The Anti-Cuomo”.

If only one dangerous dissident is silenced, this action is justified.

“..or because they live with an elderly family member. All patients who go to the isolation facility do so voluntarily”

Then they become “homeless” Satanic scheme

Is this the beginning of an American Holocaust. If the Dims get back the throne they start rounding up conservatives (claiming they have COVID) and sending them to American Bergen-Belson’s and Auschwitz’?

What’s that smoke? Nothing but conservatives and Christians.

I’m sure the facilities will have showers to make sure everyone relocated is nice and clean.

Maybe they should set up special rail car lines to get the people there efficiently.

“or because they live with an elderly family member.”
The Satanic scheme to make “homeless”. Then comes the takeover of private property.

Zyklon-B would kill Covid-19.

Sounds like a final solution to the COVID problem.

Would you prefer using the Q-mo method instead? Send the Ill to nursing homes?

There are enough real issues out there that we don’t have to look foolish and drum up this type crap.

Are these "patients" (once transported they're in fact prisoners of the State) sick ... that is, do they have symptoms ... or did they just "test positive"? If so, are they volunteering for this (actually, self-arrest and self-confinement)?

What's next ... "transportation to an 'isolation facility'" if you test positive for MAGA?

Says right in the article I listed that it’s a place that people who test positive and are either homeless or who live with an elderly person can CHOOSE to go to so they can quarantine.

It’s an option for those who want to quarantine appropriately, but otherwise wouldn’t be able to do so. Hardly seems nefarious in any way.

OK. Thanks for clarifying this and correcting me. I took a quick look at the article before posting and obviously missed it (though I shouldn’t have because we are talking about Arkansas here!) Cheers!

Satanic scheme? Seriously? It’s basically a free hotel room for those who test positive so they don’t spread it to vulnerable people who could die from it. It’s the opposite of what Cuomo did in New York. What would you prefer? They go home and kill their wife/husband/mom/dad/whoever by exposing them to it?

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS.

This is tyranny, confinement of American citizens against the rights, with NO DUE PROCESS.
