NEARLY 300 ARKANSAS DOCTORS SEND A LETTER TO GOV. HUTCHINSON

URGING FOR MORE CORONAVIRUS LIMITS AS CASES RISE

Nearly 300 doctors from around Arkansas are urging Gov. Asa Hutchinson to impose new restrictions to curb a surge in coronavirus cases.

A letter from the doctors was delivered to Gov. Hutchinson Wednesday (Nov. 18) as the state's COVID-19 hospitalizations hit a new record level.

In the letter, they warned of the strain on the state's health care system.

The doctors called on Gov. Hutchinson to close bars and gyms, and to limit restaurants to takeout service only.

Like you, I thought Asa was staying on top of things at first. Arkansas Granny Nov 2020 #2

There is an uncomfortable timing relationship with the trip to Washington. TomSlick Nov 2020 #3

Asa's response is to order bars and restaurants that serve alcohol to close early. TomSlick Nov 2020 #4

Of course. Everyone knows that viruses only spread after 11:00. Arkansas Granny Nov 2020 #5

Asa is a bright guy. His reactions early in the crises seemed reasonable enough - if not inspiring. He is apparently in his last public office and has nothing to fear from the nut cases in the Arkansas General Assembly.

Why is he apparently frozen to inaction?
