Most of our state is pretty rural, so as you can see, our numbers aren't bad.
Hopefully those numbers would not require ICU type care, because that would seriously exceed our number of both ICU Beds and Specialty ICU beds in the state. I would assume there is a way to re-tool another 5-6K regular hospital beds. There is a another model from Harvard that predicts a 156% shortage of the kinds of beds Little Rock would be needing.
Hopefully that doesn't come to pass. And I don't think it will because Asa Hutchinson has been pretty "naggy" ---er--- insistent, about the mask-wearing and social distancing thing, and I think people take it to heart.
September still feels like a long way off.
