Hahahahahahahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 What a joke. NO ONE BELIEVES YOU ANYMORE. No one.
Something is definitely strange in these numbers. The prior day totals were significantly lower and trending down
Illness and deaths will be the final arbiter of who is right and who is wrong.
... You will note that Monday's total was only ~600, which was clearly under-reported. The Tuesday cases were, in fact, down below 2500. An improvement over many of the previous days' case-rates. Do your research please before you report misleading statistics.
jasminejhkim who wrote this article. You failed to report that approximately 2500 of those cases were from Monday. Sonora Quest Labs did not get the numbers to the reporting agencies in time for the Monday report, therefore they were added to Tues total....
Arizona doesn't report deaths on the weekend. They only reported 4 total this past weekend. Please know what you are writing. Last Wednesday they reported 79 deaths. Wednesdays are their weekend lag data dump day.
Let’s correlate all the increases in COVID-19 cases with all the BLM protests... dates, ages, incubation periods...
Democrats getting it in purpose to make trump look bad.
I'm seeing very little reporting on California since initially being held up as an example. They had twice as many deaths and cases as Arizona yesterday. AZ has a higher mortality by a little but also has a more ageed population.
oh mother....
MSM reporters, stay in your car for a few hours, it will kill the virus.
What were doing all this while without reporting? Suddenly to make waves they are reporting BIG NUMBERs. Sounds like the RIGGED Stock Market NUMBERs
Trump would try to fill up an entire stadium of people with no masks right in the middle of the epicenter if he could and we ALL know it. Cares more about his fragile little ego than the potential deaths of others or jeopardizing our ability to safely reopen as well.
