Arizona set statewide records on Monday for the number of new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, ventilators in use, and ICU beds in use, a range of markers that point to the severity of the ongoing outbreak.
“I worked yesterday in the ER, and I was taken aback,” he said, recalling one patient who arrived and said her husband lay dead at their home, presumably also from COVID-19.
Have mercy, it’s like something out of Stephen King’s THE STAND.
The GOP really REALLY wants that Senate seat.
Remember when Donnie said it would all go away when the weather warmed up? It’s 102 f. in Phoenix today.
thank goodness Trump didn’t hold his re-opening rally in Arizona. and i’m not sure why TPM is giving all the pub to Arizona. Florida is taking it in the shorts big time too.

Why doesn’t somebody make the difficult decision simply to stop all testing?!?
This looks like NYC or maybe Italy all over again. The problem is the US has moved on from Covid. Is the administration going to leave Arizona to their own devices? Will the press pay as much attention to this mess as they did to New York?
What happens in the next city? My guess it will be one of the big Texas cities or maybe someplace in Florida that hasn’t taken Covid seriously. Maybe Jacksonville or Orlando.
We are in for a bunch of hotspots some one after another, others all at once.
And… Tomorrow I’m going to a meeting about reopening my school in July. The superintendent said we will open in person if we are in Stage 1 and virtually if we are not in stage 1. The governor has said schools are reopening.
This is posted on the AZ Dept of Health Data Dashboard right now: As of today June 16, 2020, our daily case increase of positive cases was 2,392, bringing our total positive cases to 39,097. Today, we’re reporting an additional 25 deaths, bringing our total number of COVID-19 deaths to 1,219. That’s the same number as TPM reported in the article for Monday, so I’m not sure of the exact statistics.
And although cases are increasing more slowly in the community where my school is located, this is not reassuring. And what if Gov. Ducey tries to enforce school openings?
People are not acting like we’re in a pandemic around here…
And the reason is that as far as I can tell social distancing & masking are just not done. My friends & family in AZ are doing high school graduations, shopping trips, and all manner of normal activities. It’s absolutely freaking nuts - like you can ignore the virus into submission. smdh.
When was the last time he said “covid” as if it were anywhere but in the rear-view mirror?
Blazing Arizona?
sounds like a task for guv Kemp of Georgia. he is such a brave soul with other people’s lives.
Maricopa County, where the city of Phoenix is located, is in the hardest-hit portion of the state.
Oh, please, please, please!
You best keep yourself safe @ralph_vonholst!
Obviously they are testing far too many people. If they stopped screening for the virus they’d see cases drop, maybe even disappear! Why take labor-intensive, inconvenient action when you can simply close your eyes?
Did that executive order about increasing capacity include an executive provision of funding? With his stance on schools, it sounds as though the Governor drank Trump’s form of KoolAid, namely bleach, which affected his brain too,
So long as it’s not disproportionately affecting white people, it’s just FAKE NEWS!!!
i’m starting to hope that Karma really is a thing.
We’re already there here in Dallas and in Houston. Our cases have spiked through the roof for the last two weeks and we are at 75% of our hospital capacity.
No, it’s like something out of NYC last month.
