Arkansas on Thursday reported its largest single-day increase in coronavirus cases for the second time in a row in four months amid urging from Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) for residents to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

The state recorded 700 new infections Thursday, up from the 686 new cases the day before, according to a state department of health graphic Hutchinson tweeted Thursday.

The state also reported 12 new coronavirus-related hospitalizations Thursday, bringing the total to 337, though Arkansas recorded no new fatalities due to the virus.

686 to 700???? Triple mask time!!!!!! Fear porn never ends. Even In Arkansas of all places.

[House Atreides]

The virus is going to have its way until the local “population immunity” threshold is reached through a combination of natural immunity and vaccination immunity. Masks will not help.

[gr8eman]

So they recorded something in AR?

[PeachyKeen]

Good grief! I’m so scared. This BS will never end.

[butlerweave]

Cases or just test results ?

[mosaicwolf]

I wonder how many cases of the flu were recored during this time in 2019? I mean a little perspective may be helpful.

[bagadonutz]

Of course they (The Hill) picked a ‘red state’ like Arkansas to validate Faux-Chi’s claim of 2 americas - the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Arkansas surely has less vaccinated than a ‘science-believing’ state like MA or CT.

We are seeing new cases. Not fake. Including a few icu. It’s still much better than it was.

[kaktuskid]

Thank you border surge

[PerConPat]

Arkansas fully vaccinated-34% (as of 6/30/21). Have no idea how many cases are breakthroughs...

I've been isolated this entire debacle from the Wuhan virus. A friend of mine from Nashville came here (Baxter County) to visit with her 92 year old vaccinated Mother. Her granddaughter had been with her two days before and given her the Wuhan and she had to have the BAM cocktail. My friend got it and had to have the BAM and I had a brief exposure to her and I have it. Everyone in their social circle has it now.

I take ivermectin and still have symptoms, ie muscle and bone aches, coughing, fever, weakness. I didn't get tested but its a no brainer if all of them have it and tested positive. This began when the granddaughter went to Springfield, Mo., and picked it up there. Greene County, MO, is having a horrendous outbreak.

Have they considered using reliable testing?

[arkfreepdom]

No doubt contributes

Buried in this article at the end:

” Arkansas recorded no new fatalities “.

When are the scare-mongers going to finally disappear ?

[vetvetdoug]

I believe in the science of ivermectin interfering with the replication of the Wuhan Virus and truly believe had I not been taking it I would have been a statistic. What hit me was pretty severe for two days but is now abating. I am in the severe risk category...age, diabetic, etc. but believe the research done with ivermectins.I am a skeptic with the vaccine technology with the FDA rush approval. I was at three years old one that got the Salk vaccine in the "Cutter Incident" but didn't develop polio. In the USAF I was given an experimental vaccine against the Adenovirus that was contaminated with a cancer gene and discovered that little fact in a graduate course in virology from a professor that was part of the development of the vaccine. I also observed many of my fellow airmen develop reactions and Guillen Barre syndrome in 1976 with the poorly made Swine Flu vaccine. Until the data is better from the current Wuhan Virus vaccines I'm going to abstain from getting it.

[Celerity]

Wow. Prayers out to you for a recovery.

Are you in ar though?

[BeauBo]

Seems like the media may be seizing on Arkansas as their poster boy/whipping boy for vaccine hesitancy and the Delta variant memes/narratives.

[EC Washington]

In how many different languages can we say Triple BS!!!!

[arkfreepdom]

Two ways to get to herd immunity. Take your pick

[David Chase]

I believe Arkansas is the lowest vaccinated State in the Country.

So the people are choosing herd immunity the natural way, but it’s their choice. Herd immunity will happen.
