Jason Rapert reports on his progress. He appears to be returning to form. - Arkansas Times

Sen. Jason Rapert (R-Conway), whos announced he was hospitalized for pneumonia and COVID-19, provided this Twitter update today.

Hes been active on Twitter and Facebook today, including criticizing those whove said uncharitable things on learning of his illness.

Im glad that he appears to be his old self again.

He said in one Tweet this morning that he remains in the hospital. He has been scheduled to lead a meeting of his National Association of Christian Legislators Aug. 4-5 in Florida. He hasnt mentioned whether his illness, which has a varying recovery period, will affect that event.

The COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping all aspects of life in Arkansas. We're interested in hearing from doctors, nurses and other health care workers; from patients and their families; from people in longterm care facilities and their families; from parents and students affected by the crisis; from people who have lost their job; from people with knowledge of workplaces or communities that aren't taking appropriate measures to slow the spread of the disease; and more.
