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.

“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?”

Exactly. A whole lot of information is missing from that article for inquiring minds.

Here's an answer to the VAERS bullies:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f- chat/3981778/posts?page=23#23

At most, 10% of vaccine side effects are ever reported to VAERS, according to a 2005 study in the BMJ[5].

Your characterization of "assertion" is correct.

The hospitals there have had more than a year to prepare for any surge.
————-
Surge? Pandemics are measured by deaths, not presumed cases. Deaths show 465 a day, way, way down from the highs. This Pandemic has turned into a PLANDEMIC….the Pandemic is over, stop the what if this, what if that fear peddling….my suspicions have been confirmed, we now have a very deadly Scamdemic fueled by fear, lies, omissions, censorship.

With more than 120 hospitals in the state counting every single one as being admitted for covid,

Where are you getting this data?

You can look it up easily. It's on various sites. The number I came up with was 124.

There is another thread with a story where a document was found indicating the state of Florida was requesting "hundreds" of ventilators from the fed gov. The document was a request for "300" ventilators. The story from "the Hill" then goes on to state how many thousands of new covid cases, bla bla bla.

Well again that story was pure propaganda. The truth is Florida has some 350 hospitals statewide. So if taken as fact about the document requesting 300 ventilators that comes out to LESS THAN ONE PER HOSPITAL.

How many REQs, Purchase orders, etc. do you think all the hospitals in Florida would have on just any random piece of medical equipment, like say portable X-ray machines? What do you want to bet that number would be far in excess of 300.

These stories are so easy to expose a propaganda it's almost childish. People should know better and should be asking questions but they aren't.

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

Yes except for the fact we have some very qualified industry people who are saying that number is more likely a factor of ten. 10 times the number in VAERS. Now do your calculation. Now it's like saying you have a headache and someone hands you a bottle of 100 Tylenol and advises you that the bottle is 99 percent safe. Why? well one of the tablets that looks exactly the same as all the others is really a lethal dose of cyanide. Do you still have a headache?

I think I misunderstood what you wrote, it appeared to me you were stating that some hospitals were saying ALL of the patients they had admitted were covid. Going back to look at it, that is not what you were saying. My apologies.

If it’s all that bad, I’m surprised that Canada opened to vaccinated air travelers yesterday. I’d think they’d be one of the first to shut it back down.

They’re a nothing burger as long as it is NOT YOU who got the side effects such as death. Just because one didn’t get a side effect within 2-3 months doesn’t mean you’re home free. If five years from now, you’ve had no serious side effects, then “lucky you.”

And, BTW, they’re shots not vaccines.

I talked to a man yesterday who told me his family all got the shots and now all have serious Covid. Oops.

Our (arkansas) hospitals have wings closed off, there is a staff shortage not a bed shortage, not even remotely close. Rino Asa is trying to make it look like it. We just had hospital administrators testify to our legislature that they are short staffed and not short beds. Of course it’s their fault, laying off hospital staff during Covid while raking in millions and now doubling down with vaccine mandates.

The gov’t runs a VAERS system which requires hospitals to report ANY PROBLEM or ADVERSE REACTION to the covid Vaccines.

You can look at the latest total count of such problems reported by hospitals and divide that number by current number of Americans who have received the vaccine.

That fraction is your risk fraction. Multiply by 100 to get %. I came up with 0.002% from data from a date last month.

So it is NOT my personal experience from which I say the vaccines area nothing burger. It is based on experience of 190,000,000 Americans.
