I want to spend a moment to put the death reports today in Arizona into perspective. As a suicidologist, I study mortality on a regular basis.

Today, 147 deaths due to COVID-19 were reported in Arizona.

Arizona set a record for suicides in 2018, with 1438 suicides. Each suicide (understandably) a tragedy of human loss. That works out to about 4 suicides per day.

The COVID deaths reported today = 37X the rate of suicides in Arizona.

But it gets much, much much worse.

What follows in this thread is the actual situation in Arizona’s hospitals. Nurses and docs from different facilities have created a number of groups where they communicate directly with each other about the situation in the ground. This is from just one.
This isn’t the double-speak you’ll get from @dougducey & his lackeys, which is duplicitous enough to be criminal. My sister is one of our Arizona healthcare providers.
None of this info is “classified”; it’s all there to find in the DHS reports if you know where to look. But if you are an #Arizona resident and this doesn’t make your blood run cold then I don’t know what to tell you.
