Per the article, only 45% of the state is fully vaxxed... The right wing health care plan of "Let Them Die" is in full swing.

1. On the bright side, lots of real estate will be coming on the market there.

So if you're up for an adventure in turning a red state blue, go for it...

2. The UAMS Covid forecast looks pretty grim. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

The UAMS COVID-19 projection also outlined other key points for Arkansans to expect through August 30. A few include:

The 15-day model is forecasting 4,523 new COVID-19 cases on Sept. 14. This represents almost a doubling of new daily cases in the next month.
Arkansans between ages 35 and 59 will have the highest number of COVID-19 diagnoses — forecast to increase by 19,610 cases, an average of 1,040 cases per day.
The highest relative growth in cases will be in children 17 and under. The state will see an
additional 10,784 children with COVID-19 by Aug. 30, an increase of 17% over the number
reported on Aug. 15.
The 30-day model is forecasting 131 new hospitalizations in Arkansas on Sept. 14
due to COVID-19. This represent an increase of a third in daily hospitalization in the next
month.

There is a very low vaccination rate in the state. You have to figure that roughly 6 out of 10 adults are not vaccinated.

3. I've been blatantly calling them murderers

I had a "discussion" with a couple of antisocial assh*les on my local community facebook page. It was interesting that I simply kept inserting facts and they became more and more vitriolic in their responses. When one called me a mean old bitty, the admin closed the page. Funny creatures they are.

4. What about auto accidents, cancer, heart attacks?

In the richest country in the world... which has had the vaccine for 8 months... that an entire state's hospital system is collapsing....

Well, we reap what we sow, or unfortunately, we reap what Trump sowed.
