Hospitalizations have steadily risen. Statewide hospitalizations as of Sunday were at 1,266 inpatients in Arizona with suspected and confirmed COVID-19, which was the second-highest number, behind Friday, since the state began reporting the data on April 9. The past eight days have seen inpatient hospitalizations statewide for suspected and confirmed COVID-19 eclipse 1,000.
The percentage of positive tests per week increased from 5% a month ago to 6% three weeks ago to 9% two weeks ago, and 12% last week.
With increasing testing, the percent of positive tests out of all tests would ideally decrease, Hanage said.
Hanage said if he were advising the governor, he would say the least that can be done is to halt reopening and see if the increase continues.
Do the people of Arizona want this? I doubt it. They went along with “flatten the curve.” And they were very generous for doing this. Sorry, but the people of America are not going to consent to another lock down. Let it go libs. It’s over.
It’s up to the people to practice social distancing and to wear masks, if they don’t, well, stupid can be painful. I am now permitted to go to a bar, that doesn’t mean I am dumb enough to do so.
Not exactly. If we are told to halt our liberty again, we’ll just ignore the order. There will not be another lock down. And this one is nearly dead. I just got back from a totally non compliant gym. And the social distancing po-leece were nowhere to be found.
