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.
