Video: Dream City Church, the Phoenix venue hosting President Trump on Tuesday, posted this video saying that newly-installed technology in the church “kills 99.9% of COVID-19 within 10 minutes” & that folks can know that “when you come here you’ll be safe and protected.”

New statement from Phoenix @MayorGallego on Trump's Phoenix stop:

Let's be very clear what's happening while Pres. Trump urges this.

Arizona experienced an inundation of folks seeking COVID tests over last week. It led to hours-long waits, denial of tests & backlog in processing//results taking 7+ days to be returned.

Sonora Quest Laboratories, the major lab here that has processed about 80% of AZ's COVID tests, has capacity to process 12k tests a day--but in last week, the # of tests it has received from testing partners has exceeded that daily limit, causing the major backlog of cases.
“We just can’t ramp up fast enough,” Sonya Engle, the chief operating officer for Sonora Quest Laboratories, tells me.

**The lab that processes 80% of Arizona's tests does not have the current capacity to process the daily demand of incoming tests.**

Here's a story of an ongoing personal journey of mine -- that makes it clear to me the vastness of the COVID spread across Phoenix is still so little understood:

I have sought a COVID test after being around crowds the last week+ -- with the desire to keep one's own family safe.
-Yesterday & today, all the time slots for CVS testing sites within 30 miles of me are full. There are no walk-ins for COVID tests at CVS. (Also, CVS says you have too have to be legal resident of state you're being tested in -- was going to try to get by as technically a DCer)
The NextCare Urgent Care on Thomas & 17th St in Phoenix on Friday had a 5.5 hour wait. Folks were sitting outside with masks — it was 104 degrees out.

Thread: It’s Sunday in Seattle ~ 7 days since @SeattlePD abandoned its east precinct, leaving a 6-block area unmanned as folks in the community established the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.”

There was no hostile takeover. The police chief even visited the station on Thursday.
What you have had in this Capitol Hill neighborhood was an unexpected area in which thousands & thousands of Seattle residents have descended onto as a congregating spot to demand action, show solidarity & bear witness. As diverse a gathering as one could come up with.
In Seattle, below is one of the barriers used to protect one of the entrances from potential cars ramming through these Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone streets. There is no checking of photo IDs. It’s essentially a pedestrian thoroughfare.
