LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas on Monday set a new record for the number of people in the state hospitalized because of COVID-19 as its coronavirus surge continued.

The state reported its COVID-19 hospitalizations rose by 103, its biggest one-day increase, to 1,376. The state's previous record during the pandemic for COVID-19 hospitalizations was in January when it reported 1,371 virus patients in the hospital.

The Department of Health reported that there are only eight intensive care unit beds available in the state. There are 509 COVID-19 patients in ICUs around the state and 286 on ventilators.

Only about 37% of the state's population is fully vaccinated against the virus.

The state's COVID-19 surge has been straining resources at hospitals around the state.

>> vaccines are 99.996% safe.

That’s not an opinion — that’s an assertion.

The only efficacious treatment is monoclonals. The rest is at best very lowly effective

[entropy12]

That is what medically un-qualified anonymous posters do, ad hominem attacks without substantiation. I just ignore the un-qualified.

[gas_dr]

Actually it’s an assertion because he states that even if you double VAErS this is the safety margin. The fact is even taking VAERS on its face it is 99.998% safe

That is the math entropy12 did and it is factually stated.

The hospitals there have had more than a year to prepare for any surge.

---

Our local paper’s (Southeast Missourian) headline today is local hospitals accepting unvaccinated COVID cases from other states. No real surge in cases here, but people apparently are looking for hospital beds wherever they can find them.

[entropy12]

Wrong again. It is BASED ON ACTUAL DATA of how many million Americans have voluntarily received jabs and how many Americans have reported adverse effects from vaccines.

[gas_dr]

I know but if you want to sling mud at least say something moderately intelligent or at least more advances than a four year old.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Who trusts the so-called hospital reports?

[JennysCool]

Government still paying hospitals thousands of dollars for each COVID patient? Hospitals still counting patients admitted for other ailments or inuries as COVID cases because they also test positive for COVID?

If so, no one can really know if any of these figures are legit.

[TheDon]

The “vaccines” are working. They are a cure for Wuhan flu hysteria, not a vaccine for the flu. Hysteria sufferers who get the vaccine overcome their hysteria and drop their precautions thus get the flu and help reach herd immunity. The success of the vaccinations is measured by the number of vaccinated who get the flu.

Onward and upward to herd immunity! Go Arkansas!

[BipolarBob]

Our local hospital has no unusual patient overflow. That is coming from someone who works there. It’s the same ol’ same ol’.

[precisionshootist]

This is pure propaganda. With more than 120 hospitals in the state counting every single one as being admitted for covid, which we know is not the case, that puts the number at around ten patients per hospital, all inclusive. We know hospitals are admitting patients with symptoms that clearly have nothing to do with covid or any virus for that matter then they give the patient an overly sensitive test that will often give a positive result if you tested an orange then subsequently classifying these people as covid patients based on the meaningless test result.

Again this report is pure propaganda that cannot stand up to even the most basic objective scrutiny.

[Gene Eric]

JFC, it’s an assertion. The backing data is irrelevant.

What was presented as an “opinion” was in fact made out to be a declaration — or an assertion as I’ve been saying.

[BipolarBob]

I just ignore the un-qualified.

I'll have you know I'm qualified. I'm an official qualified anonymous poster who can officially deliver ad hominem attacks without substantiation. I can probably scrounge up a badge or official looking document of some sort. In fact ad hominem attacks are my specialty. Wow! That's a mouthful. I'm going to lay down and take nap after that outburst.

[roving]

My personal experience: The only person I know who got covid was a fully vaccinated person from out of state.

I work at a place that never shut down, around 40 of us work there, we all have family and friends, we never wore masks or social distanced, yet none of us got covid

[kiryandil]

Even if you double the VAERS number vaccines are 99.996% safe.

Just don't be the one standing when the music stops...

[kiryandil]

You know personally that an anonymous poster on FR who has put "dr" in their screen name is "medically qualified"?

How does that even work?

My nickname for that one is "Deep In The Gassy Stool", a take-off on "Deep In The Hurtgen Forest"...

HOSPITALIZATIONS = CHA-CHING !

"COVID" is a jackpot win for the Medical Industrial complex

fever ? =COVID

Cough ? = you got covid !!!

sniffles = COVID

chest rattle =COVID !!!!

EVERYTHING is Covid now

Previous to the COVID extortion racket, they just said "you have a "VIRAL FLU, take some tylenol"

Now they hospitalize you at about $10,000 + per day

[Rennes Templar]

Questions to ask re the hospitalizations:

What is the average age of those hospitalized?
How many were vaccinated?
How many have pre-existing conditions, particularly obesity and/or diabetes?
How many have pre-existing immune-compromising conditions?
How many have been given proven therapeutic treatments such as IVM or HCQ to accelerate their recovery and release?
What is the rate of flu in Arkansas in past seasons? What is the rate of flu this summer?

At least that treatment is targeted to those people that need it, and apparently effective if given early. By its design you are injecting the very antibodies need to neutralize the virus. From a systems perspective, that’s about as simple an approach as one can imagine.
