At some point might be now because the Joplin area has become one of the nation's leading hot spots over the past week or so.
The NW Arkansas area is also being hit hard. Another huge source of Tourism Dollars for the Branson area. They even enacted a Temp city ordinance requiring masks in public in Fayetteville here for the foreseeable future. I expect Branson will get a spike pretty soon from all the people traveling from down here who may or may not be exposed.
Well, I can tell you that the city ordinance in Fayetteville is toothless and loosely enforced with the onus put on the businesses. They ain't wanting to piss off anyone right now. The City Attorney told them it would never stand up to court challenge The rise has leveled off a bit, it did hit the Marshallese community hard and Hispanics as well. Marshallese are known to have a high rate of health issues. It is like they are Mother Nature's punching bag. Nothing about this spike is slowing anything down. A big jump in the local numbers is yet another spike at an assisted living facility.
Here an example of some Wuflu deaths in state(from the Ark Dem Gazette)
Bobby May, 77 of Russellville died at St. Vincents in Little Rock. His son says he had been in the hospital for 2 months. " I do not believe he died of Covid. " Says he had brain surgery due to a brain infection. He tested positive monday and is listed as a Covid death. His medical history includes endocarditis, cardiac infection, hypertension and diabetes. The son goes on to say " After his brain surgery, he went down hill."
Yep,.a covid death. This is not an isolated thing.
With that said, tomorrow. Is my birthday and I struck a deal.with the wife. See gets Pawhuska for mid day and we end up in Tulsa so I can hit up Marshall Brewing and Prairie Artisan for the night.
