Arizona has crossed the rubicon: one of the hardest hit by coronavirus in the world

By artappraiser on Wed, 06/17/2020 - 9:14pm |

I am using this Fox news quote & story just to show how it's being covered there

“Arizona is the worst off.” According to @DrEricDing, Arizona holds new records for cases, positivity percentages, hospitalizations and ICU beds in use. He says the state now exceeds Brazil and Peru to be one of the hardest hit regions in the world.https://t.co/OWTzc8DWX8

Now with Covidian exponents.

Who needs whistleblowers, when even CDC says: kinda suspicious.

Hey, there's a lot of old people there after all, what does it matter what it says on their death certificate anyways?

In Florida there are signs that more young positives are being hospitalized:

More of these hospitalizations are younger people, reflecting that Florida's epidemic is centered in a younger demographic, but also indicating that younger Floridians are developing Covid symptoms severe enough to require hospital admission. https://t.co/F7z4Y9UqQ8

The Wuhan virus data by Zip Code in Az shows the hottest spots to be mostly in Indian Reservations and border towns. Perhaps someone will discover why these locations are the hardest hit.

Our racist shit disturber is back. 123,000 deaths Now nationwide, Nonny. Hows that herd imunity And hydroxychloroquine cure doing? Whats your tinfoil theory about natives? Here's the basic map:

by PeraclesPlease on Mon, 06/22/2020 - 3:33pm

Here is a link to that page so anybody who is interested can compare with each county.

As the hospital beds are filling up, the Governor is still afraid to require masks:

Case spikes prompted Gov. Doug Ducey last week to allow Arizona cities and counties to enforce their own mask mandates, although he stopped short of issuing a statewide requirement despite growing pressure from the medical community.

by moat on Mon, 06/22/2020 - 4:07pm

The COVID case rate per 100,000 in Arizona is 750, for the largest by population county, Maricopa, it is 744. The fringe counties thus raise the exploding state rate by less than 1%.

by NCD on Mon, 06/22/2020 - 3:41pm

East Flagstaff has 260, Winsted has 218, but Winsted's zipode area Is twice as big, So it's a huge orangish red region on the covid-by-zip map, even if most cases Are in the much smaller zones of Maricopa, etc. Wow, that was tough.

by PeraclesPlease on Mon, 06/22/2020 - 3:46pm

The Zip Code based map was more granular with the hottest spots highlighted at >300 cases per 100K. Understanding how and why the WuFlu spreads may help us live with it and other diseases in the future.

So, where is this map, Devin?

by moat on Mon, 06/22/2020 - 6:23pm

There is no map made that could guide you out of the dark hole you snipe from.

Only a degenerate excuse for a human being would continue to project evil intent onto people who's only crime is disagreeing with you and refusing to submit to your warped ideology.

by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 06/23/2020 - 2:25pm

That is a hyperbolic response to a simple request for your evidence. Since your original statement was contradicted by all the evidence I could locate, asking for your evidence was a natural development.

Perhaps it was rude to refer to you as "Devin." You are correct that he is a degenerate tool of the President. How would you prefer to be called?

Here is one model of causality to consider:

Cases continue to rise in some of the states where governors have been most aggressive in opening public spaces and businesses that rely on close personal contact, such as salons and gyms. None have met the federal government’s core recommendation of a two-week decline in reported cases.

The planned Trump rallies are invariably located in places trending upwards in Covid-19 cases.

Which one will you attend?

by moat on Mon, 06/22/2020 - 7:19pm

Phoenix Mayor Gallego: Mask policy won’t be enforced at Trump event.
Perhaps someone will figure out what causes these outbreaks.

A high percent of those being hospitalized for Covid are younger adults. In March, 82% of those hospitalized in NYC were over 45. Today, 50% of hospitalized in Dallas are under 50. Is this just a function of a much higher rate of current infection among young, or something else? https://t.co/ChesWphKC5
