care delivery system in Arizona -- a state that has seen a significant and worrisome outbreak of the virus in recent weeks as over 30 states across the country report increases in cases after reopening.
"Patients are dying, patients are suffering, they're on ventilators for weeks. Families cannot be here," O'Hea said."There are patients begging me not to put them on abecause they know that they might die, they might never talk to their families again." One patient at a Banner hospital in Phoenix, Jessica O'Neil, told ABC News she had taken precautions like wearing a mask to avoid contracting COVID-19. The 30-year-old single mom who has multiple preexisting conditions, believes it was a single trip to the gym that led to her infection.
Jimmy Flores, of Scottsdale, Arizona, admitted he didn't take it seriously enough and told ABC News a story about a recent outing that landed him in the emergency room. "My penance was first going public," he said."I didn't want to go public... I went public because when I was sitting there in my bed thinking that I was possibly going to die, I was looking at my friends on Facebook still partying."in the state, and 1,588 people have died, according to the state health department website. Nearly 7,500 cases were reported in just the last two days alone.
Just wear a mask
Didn’t Trump just have a pep rally in Arizona. His people took stickers off seats, to make crowd more condensed. “The no mask affair” was made complete by Trumpster making fun of Virus, as he has made fun, of the American people + media for wearing mask 😷
FAKE NEWS!!!!!! PROPAGANDISTS!
FreddyRoo2 But...but...it’ll magically go away
Can only be corrected and brought under control in November. Get out and vote the GOP out..
Lynn_Henning Michigan and New York were screaming from the roof tops to get out in front of this shit, but everyone was so damn stubborn and ignorant....
KattyKay_ I wonder how many of the people who are demanding to go maskless are also willing to forego hospital treatment if they do get the virus? Not too many I'd bet.
Meanwhile, TrumpLies While Americans die across the USA. Don’t be stupid WearADamnMask.
Very sad.
Don't worry AZ. Trump hopes it goes away and you know how Trump always wants his way. I guess it will send the virus running. Oh wait...he's doing nothing except letting more Americans get sick and die.
Rioters immune
50linesonly There's going to be more like this until 2025....
Didn’t Az. Tx. Fla. paid attention to what we went thru in March and April Guess they were too busy out and about( living normal) to watch the news. Welcome to the “new” normal.
It takes a while to show symptoms and to get tested, on average 2 weeks. Because of this the infection rate numbers are always 2 weeks behind. No matter what we do now, in 2 weeks we will have around 4x the infections and the beds are full now. We can't wait any longer to act.
All of us in the northeast warned you & you didn’t listen. Sorry you took so long to understand how devastating this is. WearADamnMask SocialDistancing
Arizona has become a redneck camping Mecca. Lots of trump supporters. This is not surprising.

CBSmichelegile Is California ready for the flood of sick people when Arizona's healthcare collapses?
Don’t have a heart attack, accident, organ failure, bad diabetes reaction. And wear your mask and practice social distancing. EVERYBODY!
Relative of FoxNews host is governor there and he has been in denial for some time...so ...some people die...U can't live forever.
OMG so scary
NYC lived through this nightmare for about 6 weeks from late March through to early May, often at the ridicule of those in Republican states. Now they are getting first-hand experience of what it feels like to be in the midst of a pandemic.
Vote Trump again......I can't feel sorry anymore for US ...get him out of there..get someone who knows what they are doing. Looks like Mickey mouse show.
I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this!
They've all been too scared to go to the hospital with other than covid 19, because of all the fear mongering. Now they are all going at once. Nice.
But isn't it hot in Arizona.....?
Never, never, ever hat we witnessed so many lies.
We need to cancel all school and go fully remote for the fall. COVID is so deadly. So dangerous for young people. Please, colleges, do the right thing. 🙏 It is not worth the money. 💵
Bullshit
Sad scenario 😞
⛑️RealDoctorMike 💪 Do you agree with The president Trump about what he said about COVID19 🤔? Do you know what Dr Mike said about that 🤔 ? RealDoctorMike new amazing video ( Trump & Covid-19 🦠) For Full video 😍 👍
What I don’t understand if it’s that bad how come there is no video of it everyone has a phone all this talk of over crowded ICUs but not one video anywhere in the country not even a news story from inside the hospitals showing this
Riots, riots, riots have caused this.
They shouldn’t haven out protesting, burning looting and murdering people!
My heart goes out to the medical staff who are trying to function under this crisis. We must do a better job so that providers are not overwhelmed. An ER doctor in NY committed suicide while trying to address the COVID19 pandemic.
I thought it was almost over according to Trump! I guess some weren’t listening to Dr. Fauci! Or other medical experts that were repeating what Fauci said!
😥
Biggest lesson of 2020, listen
OMG! fake News!
I couldn't care less you lying cowards.
And VP Dence coming to visit today!
Now do California. & Then there's this:.
This story is likened to abc race baiting story. AZ very low on of deaths per 100k. Also stays in hospital shorter. & Report on Phoenix hospital beds % B4 covid. Nurses running out crying b/c shorter stays & higher recovery rates? Riiiight.
Why isn't it being reported on news that death rates & hospitalization 's & length of stays going down? Some say beginning herd immunity. Some say virus mutated to weaker form. why blackout on this in media?
'protesters' immune.
😢
Lines right up with the “protests”....
If only there had been some sort of 'heads up'.....
The GOP Coronavirus affecting the MAGA Lab Rat population. So much for 'Liberating' Arizona, eh, President Trump?
So you go into a crowded bar, share drinks, end up in hospital. How about some personal responsibility?
Oklahoma. Check. Arizona. Check. Texas. Check. Which state are you going to have a Covid Party in, next, VP & realDonaldTrump? Alabama? Florida? Georgia?
Yeah if you supress hospital visits for three months you might have an uptick of issues that wouldn't have happened if they were allowed to go in the first place
Ban Protests.
If only they’d had some warning that this might happen. 🙄
maggieNYT MESSAGE FOR LIBERAL LUNATICS AND TRAITOR JOURNALISTS
Never, never, ever will I take seriously again. Enemy of the people.
We need a Corona Virus vaccine ASAP
Thought: Maybe nat’l networks (& media outlets) could run clips of Fauci explaining how Americans can best behave to fight this virus at various intervals on stations as PSA’s. RiseFauciUp as lead to fight virus & spread. CBSNews NBCNews fox5ny Twitter Google Apple
Lies
Sad Mr. President. On you.
Let's keep.the narrative going. Check the zip codes to the spikes against the zip codes to the riots.
Apparently they weren’t paying attention to Italy or New York when THEY were showing and saying the same things MONTHS ago!! WearADamnMask
count
gideonrachman Trump’s America!
Not a surprise. Trump’s foreign trolls have been flooding social media for months telling people the virus is “fake news”.
Here come the NOT NEWS accounts of ONE person, thirsty for twitter follows, sayings that there Hospital is overrun, WHEN IT IS NOT. ABC is the virus.
LLRobertson75 THE IMPEACHED POTATO 🥔 IS A MASS MURDERER & CONGRESS DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK THAT WE ARE DYING!
LLRobertson75 😷⚰🐘💩
If only they would have had some kind of warning to prepare them for this. Thoughts and prayers

We as a generation let us all return to God genuinely. If my people who are called by my name,will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn away from their wicked ways,then I will hear from Heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2Chronicles 7:14
maggieNYT Devastating & Terrifyibg. God Bless those affected with COVID-19. RIP to those who passed over the last few months, & stay safe to all of my fellow out there! Wearamasksavealife
For those who care about facts, 21 states have higher per capita COVID mortality than Arizona.

Lord Jesus we need you
maggieNYT Scaramucci 9 MILLION expat voters did not gain Residency-Based Tax as part of tax reform in the Republican platform. Do you think that number of votes could sway the election? Every other country has a residency-based tax system
😥😞😔
.realDonaldTrump
Good job dougducey SenMcSallyAZ ! COVIDIOTS
no good medic could be delivered
Never never ever I have seen a country not being able to handle a virus. The US the laughingstock of the entire world! China is laughing in its sleeve!
Welcome to Massachusetts’ April. Glad you could stop by. secupp
I've never worked in a partially empty icu. Lmao I dont know where this person is. The icus are always full.
The result of stupid people, following Trumps lead.
stmaarten19 & dancrenshaw GOP says don't worry be happy..
Downtown streets were full of protests. Lots of old people in Tucson as well... touching surfaces and stuff. And droplets and sweat from the protestors
I don’t understand? All news platforms were constantly playing over and over what was happening in NYC with this pandemic & it seems no one was paying attention! I’m sorry but these states played with fire & now they’re getting burned. SMH 🤦🏽♀️
secupp realDonaldTrump dougducey No wonder, Dougs are loyal... just feed the biscuits, they obey the master no matter how dumb he is.👏👏
This is absolute bullshit, made up news.
Get over it snowflake.
JasonSamfield It's the first virus ever!! Panic!!!! MediaPanicPorn
maggieNYT All the naysayers should be drafted to work in hospitals.
That's what protesting in masses will do. Ps, the media already played this card before the protests yet were silent and gave them a pass during them and mass public funerals You show us all we need to see with your selective silence
my2cnz Many people are coming to PacificBeach
bebetternews smh 🤦🏻♂️
maggieNYT Heart breaking. Praying for everyone.
GwailoMD
Which state are you going to have a Covid Party in, next, VP & realDonaldTrump?
maggieNYT This is so unfair to our healthcare workers. I am so sorry.
maggieNYT Wear a mask, everywhere!
maggieNYT TrumpBodyCount
maggieNYT Was no one watching and learning from New York’s experience?
Just remember the ones selling the panic are the same ones selling the vaccine
Don’t forget to take some time for yourselves out there in AZ Healthcare systems. Prayers for you all 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Months of mindless massive congregations whilst shouting certainly did not provide the ideal facilitation for the spreading a communicable Virus. That is something we KNOW for sure
Weird
Welcome to what happened in New Orleans. Thank your POTUS for this not being under control. We are the only nation where it is not under control in case no one bothered to notice.
sssniperwolf Greetings from Johannesburg South Africa. Praying that you are okay in Arizona. Wear a face mask as much as possible, keep washing your hands & surfaces that you are touching.
secupp Here's the data dashboard for Arizona. You can see we have capacity. All of those patients are not in for covid and those in for that are in for shorter periods and being released. Discharges are high and intubations way down. Stop stoking panic.
The President is responsible for this those people are looking up to him
Those protests are putting people at risk. I hope they found worth in them.
maggieNYT
secupp I wonder if it's Like this?
maggieNYT Tell their stories. Send your rep’s & sen’s pics of your dead as you say goodbye via ipad w no hand to hold. This shit is real. The tears, bodies, memories & tragedy is real. It is soul crushing. One tweet & that mf in the WH could save 1000’s. “Mask up”
President Trump and GOP Lawmakers should be held accountable for these tragic events!
maggieNYT But BrendanSchaub told me this isn't happening and the hype was all fake!! 😟😟 WearADamnMask
maggieNYT FakeNews
Can you give me the number of ICU beds are filled by solely Covid19 patients, how many are there for emery or elective surgery, etc ? Thanks!
maggieNYT I see that Sarah Palin’s death panels have come to us with Arizona looking to use scorecards to decide who gets what COVID-19 care, with limited resources being stressed by all the cases. Republicans helped get us here. Also, as far as Palin:
maggieNYT Hell has arrived.
secupp I am sure trump's rally didn't help matters either.
When the stupid is out of control. I feel for them.
Plandemic
maggieNYT There were so many lessons being taught, but the Trump and the GOP refused to show up to class. Now we are trying to force 4 months of learning into a 3 week summer school program. No. One. Wins.
Too bad all those BLM protests ended up spread corona like wildfire
