Arkansas is seeing its highest spike in coronavirus cases in nearly five months.
The spread of the Delta variant has made it a new epicenter of the US outbreak.
But Arkansas health officials are still struggling to convince people to get vaccinated.
Few states have had a harder time vaccinating people than Arkansas.
Less than 43% of the state's population has received at least one vaccine dose, and just 34% of residents are fully vaccinated - among the lowest vaccination rates in the US. That made the state a sitting duck for the Delta variant, which is significantly more transmissible than the original virus or other variants. As Delta spreads rapidly among unvaccinated people in the US, Arkansas and its neighbor, Missouri, have become the epicenter of the US outbreak.
The maps below, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, show how Arkansas' latest surge correlates with its low vaccination rate. Counties with at least 100 cases per 100,000 people (in blue) also have vaccination rates below 40% (in purple).
US Maps show counties where case rate is over 100 per 100.000, and counties where vaccination rate is below 40%, as of July 2, 2021 CDC
Arkansas reported more than 1,200 new coronavirus cases on Friday - its highest tally in nearly five months. The state's daily coronavirus cases more than doubled over the last two weeks, from around 290 to 600 cases per day, on average. Data compiled by Scripps Research's Outbreak.info tracker suggests that Delta may account for more than 80% of Arkansas' new coronavirus infections. That's among the highest shares of Delta infections in the country.
Hospitalizations have risen in the state as a result: Arkansas' average is up 42% in the last two weeks, from around 270 to 380 hospitalizations per day.

I guess they want to believe everybody wants the jab perhaps they have an offer that nobody can refuse.
Yesterday it was Louisiana..
That’s the point.
And we will continue to release ‘new variants’ until everyone gets multiple injections of whatever we tell them to get.
You’ve hit the nail on the head. I watch smirking Asa’s briefing each Tuesday, which is nothing but a vaccination push and fear session. He announced a week ago he would have a covid town hall in Cabot this Thursday, then coincidentally the day before his town hall suddenly the cases tripled. It’s odd b/c I went out this evening, very few masks and things seemed so normal; either everyone i saw has had the vax or they’re over the covid fear. I’ve had covid, i have natural immunity, so no thanks!
You’ve tried everything? Everything except ONE thing. Admit the truth, arrest Fauci for his illegal work and misuse of taxpayer money.
The truth is that is was made in a lab at Chapel Hill on purpose. After Obama’s “ban” it was moved to Wuhan. It was effing convenient as hell that Moderna had the vaccine basically ready.
Tell the truth. Arrest Fauci, strip all profits from Moderna and Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson. Arrest Cuomo.
Too many lies for us to trust you.
Delta is actually the Indian variety.
You mean like Q Anon? That’s the new “one stop for all your needs” word that can be used for anything and everything that goes against the ruling class/cool kids narrative.
That's racist.
RE: Delta is actually the Indian variety.
Here are the major variants we know of so far:
* The Alpha Variant ( The UK variant )
* The Beta Variant ( The South African variant )
* The Gamma Variant ( The Brazilian Manaus Variant )
* The Delta Variant ( The Indian Variant )

“ They can’t bring themselves to say, “Vaccine Refusal.”
That’s next.

They’re scolding people who are “falsely” concerned about the vaccine and infertility, yet they have no proof it DOESN’T affect fertility. Jerks.

Amazing how the DELTA VARIANT can jump from California to Arkansas. /s
Washingsnot Pest sportswriter Dave Sheinin did an entire hitpiece on Olympic swimmer Michael Andrew refusing to get quaxxinated.
Of course, Dave the Heinie kind of forgot to mention in the hitpiece that Andrew had recovered from Covid already...

Delta only has a 99.95% survival rate.
Paid for in large part with your tax dollars!

There is no “variant.”
