For the first time in a long time, a glimmer of hope has emerged on the horizon.
That’s a strange way to think when the Arkansas death toll from the ongoing pandemic stands at 10,999 but, yet, there’s still hope.
The why is for the first time the forecast numbers from the Centers for Disease Control are trending down. As you can see below:
While still not great, the top line forecast still calls for more than 12,000 deaths in Arkansas. Last week, at this time, that same top line forecast was calling for more than 13,000 deaths.
Arkansas is not out of the woods yet. There’s still much death that can be avoided if people take reasonable precautions, get vaccinated and boosted. The globe will continue spinning and there’s troubling headlines coming out of China, again, but, for now, things aren’t looking like the worse case scenario.
History, this pandemic history especially, it has been true more often then not that the worst case scenario has ultimately proven to lack the necessary vision for how things did get.
That lack of vision has been a terrible thing so while there’s hope on the horizon, perhaps it is the hope that kills you.
If you don’t want to get sick and die, there’s some things you can do:
Get vaccinated
Get boosted
Wear a mask
Avoid crowds
