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.
