Exponential growth whereby one person infects another person
Exponential growth whereby one person infects 2.5 others similar to COVID19
It's a holiday weekend so the cases and deaths are lower than normal, but this is unsustainable. 92,000 hospitalizations. No PPE. This is America.
The numbers on Sunday are always off, because people think it's okay to not work over the weekend during a pandemic. Nonetheless there are 93,238 people hospitalized and 270,000 dead. This is what happens when you let the inmates run the asylum.

🧵We start today's Arizona COVID Update by supporting newly widowed @luvmy4ros from Mesa, AZ. Her husband of 21 years, Rogelio Lechuga, 44, died from COVID.
He is 1 of 6,687 Arizonans killed by COVID due to the inaction of @dougducey 1/18
"We took all the precautions at home...Then he returned to the office. It took 2 weeks..He got COVID trying to provide for his family and instead left his wife and 3 kids behind. Now we are picking up the pieces." 2/18
48 Arizonans received a phone call yesterday that their loved one died from COVID. 3/18
Rural Hospitals across America are overwhelmed by COVID19. It's MUCH WORSE than you think, because doctors are scared to speak out due to fear of getting fired by hospital administrators. This is from a doctor at a rural hospital in Pennsylvania. 1/4
I served 6 years as a @USNavy Fleet Marine Force Corpsman & deployed to Iraq in 2004. We've spent 10 months fighting COVID, but we're losing this war. Our troops are exhausted. It's time for military deployment to our hospitals to RELIEVE our healthcare workers battling COVID19🇺🇸
We have ample healthcare staff in the military who are EXPERTS in humanitarian crises, which is exactly what this uncontrolled pandemic is in the United States! #ActivateTheTroops@realDonaldTrump@GOP
Here is one suggestion! Captain Patrick Amersbach is the commanding officer of the military treatment facility aboard the USNS Comfort, which was deployed to NYC during the height of the pandemic. We served together in Iraq with Alpha Surgical Co. 1st Med Battalion.
🧵On my last ER shift, there were NO accepting hospitals for my ICU patients. Across Arizona, ⬆️HCW illness, ⬆️nursing ratios & ⬇️PPE. We need HELP!! This is not "living with the virus" it's dying from the virus. We need a shutdown @dougducey azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Healthcare workers did not sign up to work during an endless pandemic with ZERO help from state and federal governments. These healthcare workers gave their lives to treat patients with COVID in Arizona. Their families should all receive $500,000 death benefits. @dougducey
Rolando Clemente, Jr., 41, ER RN, Banner Desert Hospital, Phoenix, AZ died from COVID. He was gracious, welcoming, fun, and happy -while sick he was concerned for the safety of his colleagues nursing him

Healthcare workers will not continue to risk their lives with ZERO help from state and federal leaders. A nationwide healthcare worker strike is nearing...
In Chicago, 700 nursing-home workers are striking to demand hazard pay, better working conditions and PPE. We stand with you @SEIUhciimk. The world is watching! #StrikeForOurLives
Rather than provide safe working conditions, Infinity Healthcare Management called the police on workers demanding safe working conditions. We stand with you @SEIUhciimk. The world is watching!
