The volume of short shares listed on the finra list is for each individual day and is not an aggregate list. There is no real way to find the total amount of shares short unless the stock ends up on the threshold list. Then you know the stock has not been covered and you are able to add up the short volume for each day to find out the total short shares. So in conclusion yes VIPR is being shorted that much every day.
Everything I say is my opinion only and is not a recommendation of any sort. Always do your own Due Diligence!
