People get tested for the coronavirus at a drive-through site in Phoenix last month. In Arizona, the portion of tests coming back positive now hovers around 24%, more than three times the national average.People get tested for the coronavirus at a drive-through site in Phoenix last month.

Gerald says the state is essentially doubling the number of cases every two weeks. Over the past week, it has averaged about 3,500 new cases a day. On Wednesday, Arizona hit a new record, with more than 4,800 positive cases. More than 1,700 people have died. Based on current trends, Gerald said, the state might run out of licensed beds toward the end of July, but that forecast doesn't take into account whether there will be enough personnel to care for patients, even before then.In Arizona, the portion of tests coming back positive hovers around, more than three times the national average. Texas and Florida, where cases are also rising rapidly, have positivity rates of 14% and 16%, respectively.
Younger adults are driving much of Arizona's outbreak, with many cases popping up among people in their 20s and 30s, an age group that is more likely to show mild symptoms or be asymptomatic.
I'm willing to bet a hell of a lot more younger people are susceptible to this thing than was originally reported. That's why you'll see their numbers rise with more testing.
Yay, Arizona! Leading the nation towards herd immunity! SupportHerdImmunity
Cases popping up in 20 to 30 year olds is what we want. My God don't you people get it yet?
the amount of you in here that refuse to see basic facts and still claim it’s all fake is appalling like wtf
How many are dying?
Not good news for Arizonans. This is why a lockdown needs to happen. dougducey, what are you afraid of? 💁♂️
Yes what have 20-30 year olds been doing the past three weeks?
Can everyone just stay home as much as possible for a while
Are the feds paying/subsidizing corona care? Your experiment in semi-socialized medicine is missing a primary ingredient: a strong public health system that pushes preventive medicine (social distancing/masks). Otherwise it’s unaffordable/doesn’t work. FYI.
Younger adults made up the majority of protestors.
Did Trump hold a rally in a church in Arizona about a week ago? Young people, no masks, indoors and no social distancing?
Well it IS a Republican majority state legislature so...
Mostly likely protesters
WearADamnMask I still see people who don't give a crap about others by not wearing a mask, so selfish
Sad!! Can't stress enough to wear your mask and social distance. The hospitals are going to be overwhelmed and doctors are going to have to choose who goes on a vent. Wouldn't wish that decision on anyone. People think about your family not getting a vent because there is none
Young and healthy doing their civic duty - thank them. Don't let the innumerates rule.
So protestors.
False positives are abnormally high
How Many is minor cases? How many will survive?
On the bright side, we'll have herd immunity b4 the rest of you 🌵 * *- those who remain
PattyArquette I live in AZ. Younger folks think they’re invincible. Problem is, they might be ok but they bring it back to their parents and grandparents
How many people have to die before people believe science 😐
