That's what is needed as to slowing the spread. And we've been somewhat successful in that. And as a result of that, our case number has reduced its growth. Our hospitalizations is 74 in Arkansas. And so, I think Dr. [Anthony] Fauci and everyone would be very pleased with actually where we are right now. And we're going to continue to look at it. If we have to do more, we will.
So far the apptoach is working better than in many other states
Stay away from people from Arkansas. You are forewarned.
He's almost as bad as my governor GovBillLee
Irresponsible moron
I wonder if the infection and death rates in Arkansas, et. al., will look like Sweden's which had taken a similar COVID-19 approach until about yesterday.
Meaning they haven't resorted to lambs blood over their doors, but they're praying really hard for god to intervene. And they haven't ruled out the lambs blood option.
TARGETED TOWARD LOWER ECONOMIC STRATA OF SOCIETY WHICH IS TRADITIONALLY DEMOCRATIC. SO SAYING DROP DEAD DEMOCRATS.
Arkansas has 927 infected 16 deaths very little recovers it will rise who going to be next your mom dad child baby it can cause medical problems for life I bet your governor is protecting him self all he cares is making money
Targeted response indeed. With a target painted on the forehead of every resident of the state.
Smh
So how does what Arkansas currently has in place different from states that have “Stay at Home” orders? Is a “Stay at Home” order a full lockdown/quarantine?
and...COVID-19 thanks you govenor
If you need government to tell you to stay your butt at home, then the problem is YOU and not the government. Has personal accountability suddenly vaporized?
That's a weird way to spell 'half measures'
Dumb! Just plain dumb!
Selfish and stupid response
Might make sense for Wyoming. The New York model is not appropriate for everywhere, for obvious reasons.
Interesting, a targeted approach to tidal waves...
Is the target the poor & uninsured?
No ventilators for these clowns
Idiot
Hopefully his state will only have a targeted outbreak then.
Well, with less than 1,000 cases and deaths still in the teens, maybe he has a point. It will be interesting to watch.
Where in the world is Arkansas? 😂😂
I’m the dumbest of the dumb
SoozcueK Reminds me why I have zero interest in ever visiting Arkansas.
How many state wide tests has Arkansas done to target accurately?
I’m sure they would welcome New Yorkers looking to get out of the city for a while. They could go visit Alice Walton’s art museum in Bentonville.
The virus sees a big, fat, stupid target. Poor Arkansas.
Smart man!
Targeted at who? Has got to b the question now that we know elderly and african american people are more likely to b infected
Can you really target with limited testing in place?
his number of death divide by the total population of the state is not bad
What a disgusting excuse for a human being. He is almost as bad as The Donald.
Another BRAIN DEAD governor taking his cues from AGENT ORANGE putting lives at risk. Blood is on all of your hands.
Remember who failed to protect you!
A thinning of the herd
Gov. Hutchinson, you are short-sighted. Oh, stupid too. 😷🤒
973 CASES, 16 DEATHS, I THINK THE HEAD BILLY MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING !
*Targeted killings
Sure, they want make sure people die first.
'We're fuckin hicks. God's got this'
😡😡😡😡😡😡
Iejit.
Noted. Added to the list of states my family and I will not visit. Ever.
Yeah. Targeting your own citizens.
💩💩💩💩💩
Arkansas, doesn't this idiot state , also have famous people like the duggars , BILL Clinton, Hillary..
Governor Hick
Arkansa is prepping to be the next hotspot.
Good for him!
“Targeted.”
vegix I remember him from the Clinton impeachment (I think). I thought then and think now his head is full of sand
Good
I just hope you truly not putting those working so hard to do the right thing are not infected by people who think they are not at risk in your state. It would be different if your population had unlimited testing to be sure.
Sick it will pass over everyone can fill up your churches it is ok nothing is going to happen listen to your governor he know his people is ok just a hoax don't worry all the evangelicals will be ok
The Republican Gov Ass Hutchinson don't beleive this is a virushe think it is the flu a common cold or a witch Hunt or a hoax by dirty Democrats so he will not tell his people to stay home or swear a mask it is ok to go to work play sports everything is ok just a few people
Good for you governor other states have issued stay-at-home orders and they have ruined their economy and just one month how stupid can you be
Fortunately the citizens of Arkansas can make the decision for themselves regardless of the inaction of their political leaders. Do you feel that sheltering in place makes sense? Then do it.
What an asahole.
I am from Arkansas. In my opinion, WE are F***ED!
Does that mean just let 4 out of the 12 people who live there die?
I notice a most if the negative comments are from uninformed liberals who do not live here. Compare the infection rate of Arkansas to New York and see who is doing a better job.
I’m sure the virus will follow your pre-determined map as planned
'We are going to target our peeing in this area of the pool.'
COVID-19 is a good Christian virus that won’t spread that won’t spread in church.
And that works because NO ONE travels into or out of Arkansas.
Has AsaHutchinson not learned what happens to government officials who don't take coronavirus serious? POS government leaders catch coronavirus. Just ask British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Nature took care of him and gave him the virus.
asa-hole hutchinson
Unfortunately, to Gov. Hutchinson’s soon to be dismay, the Coronavirus is decimating targeted responses.....
So thrilled for my friends in Arkansas. My one friend wasn’t able to go to her father’s funeral because of the virus. FU Hutchinson.
It’s shit like this that rules out colleges in Arkansas. My kid is a junior and looking at schools. People have great things to say about Univ of Arkansas. But the problem is - it’s in Arkansas. 😐
Trumps ButtBuddy
Yeah ok but who lives in Arkansas
doesn’t realize he could make his state be on the back end of the curve and get assistance from other states who have overcome the apex. Let’s just have panic and dire situations in our hospitals like everyone else.
Some public servants are doing everything they can to endanger their constituents as well as anyone else who happens to be there.
Targeting the old, the poor, and the sick. Maybe he's hoping to kill off anyone who receives any sort of state benefit.
I think that’s what Custer said
Maybe why a 14 y/0 girl died near Mt Home of a gunshot wound last friday because there were no adults home to supervise?
HE IS LISTENING TO HIS BIG DONORS LIKE WALMART AND TYSON FOODS !!! PROTECTING BIG MONEY!! ShameOnAsaHurchinson
His stance won’t age well. COVIDIOTS
I'm good with it as long as they aren't allowed to leave the state.
Targeting your own constituents is not considered a targeted response.
As someone who lives in Arkansas.. I promise a lot of us are fighting for a shelter in place order. Or ANYTHING at this point.
Pretty sure he meant 'retarded' response.
Great, now we know who to blame when the second wave hits.
This is who gives him orders 🤦♂️
A pandemic lays bare the dangers of the Right's ideology. Try to name just one plank of the Right that is even benign in this situation. Their ideas to climate change are just as destructive, and for the same reasons, but it's at a far slower pace, so it's harder to recognize.
Thats what Japan used to say. Now look where they are headed.
Well it's clear to see the nutters jump all over anything NPR posts..
Hope you have a good shovel, your gonna need it this summer. CoronaVirus
'May the Flying Spaghetti Monster bless us with silver to defeat the virus!'
Probably targeting minorities with seed spread.
Asa shut down Planned Parenthood and that should anger leftist NPR.
