.@dougducey this is a slap in the face to all frontline healthcare workers! Yuma Arizona where the hospital has 126 patients with COVID19, ICU full and 5 deaths yesterday.
This is an event called Howling at the moon. It happens each month. This is a video from the Halloween weekend event.
This reckless behavior endangers our vulnerable populations!
For example, Emerald Springs Senior Living in Yuma, Arizona has had 25 residents and 17 employees test positive for COVID19. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Howling at the moon definitely spreads COVID19 particles and coupled with decreased awareness due to alcohol intoxication is even more alarming.

I'm an Iraq War vet & ER doc in Arizona. This is my 3rd surge. Gov @dougducey had a conference in which ZERO policies were implemented to STOP THE SURGE of COVID patients flooding ERs across Arizona, KILLING Arizonans. We need a SHELTER-IN-PLACE instead of trying to SAVE FACE!
17 y.o. Brisa Vasquez from Chandler, Arizona lost BOTH of her parents this week to COVID-19. I want Gov @dougducey to tell this high school student that her parents are DEAD because he wouldn't implement a mask mandate and shelter-in-place! azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Out here in Yuma, Arizona. 3 more dead. 125 hospitalized for COVID. 22 in the ICU. We're not going to have any more updates until Monday at 3pm, because of the weekend. These numbers will continue to worsen because of Do Nothing @dougducey.
How many COVID19 cases & deaths occurred in assisted-living facilities in Arizona? @dougducey does not want you to know because it will hurt HURT BUSINESS!
This secrecy during a pandemic is problematic because the community and families are the last to know when an outbreak is occurring.
Moreover, we can get resources to these assisted-living facilities sooner rather than having them send their COVID19 patients to emergency rooms and overwhelm hospitals.
.@dougducey is UNFIT to lead Arizona through this pandemic. He's failed to protect healthcare workers. He's failed to protect 6,687 Arizonans. He wants to live while we DIE from the virus. It's time to #RecallDougDuceyaccountablearizona.org
A deadly pandemic is not the time to bullshit and play politics, but that's exactly what @dougducey is doing. While doctors are intubating 100 Arizonans a day from COVID to die on a ventilator, he's sitting on his ass and letting more people get infected.
The second surge is worse than the first surge, because due to lack of restrictions we're seeing a high volume of high acuity non-covid patients, which require ICU beds, in addition to sick COVID patients.
🧵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
