Gov. Hutchinson explains why he hasn't issued 'stay at home' order for Arkansas yet

[link:https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/gov-hutchinson-explains-why-he-hasnt-issued-stay-at-home-order-for-arkansas-yet/522-61e036dd-c1a6-4d69-b962-b738dcfc00dc|

Gov. Asa Hutchinson also claimed that stay at home orders in other states are an "illusion" due to the added exemptions. He called it a "recipe for confusion."

The governor then showed a map of all the states in the U.S. that have a 'stay at home' order. Arkansas is in the middle, with no order in place. He said the map is not helpful to Arkansans because it gives an unrealistic expectation.

"It gives the impression that we're not really doing as much as we should be in Arkansas, when you can see from the targeted response that we're doing a great deal and it has been having some success," Hutchinson said.

OK I am offended on behalf of the citizens of Arkansas that their gov thinks they are so stupid they can undrrstand "stay home!" Talk about projection!

Why do they not understand they are expected to use the brains they were given??? 🤬

"We are continuing to hold services because we the world shouldn't have to look to the government as their source of hope,"

JONESBORO, Ark. — "The first death of Covid 19 actually happened 2000 years ago," Awaken Church posted on their Facebook page Wednesday. "The Bible tells us that Jesus took on every sin, sickness and every disease...Jesus bore it so you wouldn’t have to."

Get the net...this one is delusional as hell! 🤬
