Phoenix Mayor Says The City Is In A 'Crisis Situation,' Needs Help

Do you think [the governor ordering bars and gyms closed again is] going to be enough to reverse this trajectory that we're seeing now?

I would like for mayors and city councils to have the tools to make decisions in our local community. For example, I'm concerned that there's still transmission incurring in packed restaurants. So could we move those to take-out? I also would really ask that every level of government help the city of Phoenix with testing.

With this major spike in new cases, how confident are you that Phoenix has enough, say, ICU beds to handle a surge of hospitalizations at this point? We are in a crisis situation with our health care. We have reached the level where over 90% of our ICU beds are in use. And we are quite worried that after the Fourth of July weekend, we will see another large growth in COVID-19 admissions to the hospital. So we are very worried about what's to come. I believe the worst is still ahead of us, which is scary because it's already at the level of care where people are being treated in hallways and nurses are coming in from other states.

MayorGallego CALL TO ACTION! Ducey must be by-passed. He has an other agenda. The mayors must unite and the people need to take it to the virtual streets, like BLM… Ducey is doing nothing about COVID-19 but waiting for the numbers to rise until nothing done makes effect. Goal:Economy. opens.

MayorGallego Kate Gallego for Governor

MayorGallego Trump has divided our country even during a pandemic when we should all be united in slowing the spread. That’s why America has the highest number of Covid cases. Our economy is collapsing because we opened too soon, refused to wear masks and fight each other.

MayorGallego Why won’t Trump provide the help we need?

Protest in Phx in heavily hit Phx Az Maryvale area by COVID-19 BLM rally. They wore masks but no social distancing hundreds of young people 6-5-2020

MayorGallego DuceyKills Murderer

Less than 3,000 people have died in the whole state of Arizona yet you act as if Phoenix has a fatality rate like New York City. Get Real.

MayorGallego We have a Governor who DOES NOT care about the people who put him where he is. We’ve begged for WEEKS for action. He has failed. Mayor Gellego is doing HIS job. How do we get him out?

MayorGallego Then where is all the Federal money that was supposeto be used for Covid-19. Until you account for all the money my answer would be no to. Vote merissahamilton

MayorGallego MayorGallego received $300,000,000 from the feds and spent a minuscule amount on testing. hypocrite .

MayorGallego Thank you Mayor Gallegos for all your efforts to help the people of Arizona. I hope your colleagues in other cities will join your efforts and present one voice advocating for the citizens of this state who are under seige

kate re explain darwin and say me so hurt every 2 seconds

You stupid. Too late !!!

MayorGallego It's like you people think we don't have eyes...

She's so desperate for attention cause she wants to launch a national career. It's why she kept her ex-husband's Latin surname after divorcing. Nothing has been done for the homeless in Phoenix & she's totally incompetent.

MayorGallego I have been quarantined for four months straight in Phoenix but now I need emergency endodontal work. I am terrified to find that dental offices are not following CDC or ADA guidelines. Teeth cleaning is still going on! Literally shaking from fear of getting sick.

MayorGallego All the PPE and testing in the world can't help as long as we have a governor who won’t enforce existing orders and will not shut down. I went for emergency endodocpntal work yesterday but had to leave because the receptionist was not wearing a mask. Where do I report this?

Imagine if you were a Democratic City...Trump would not send you supplies. Hope you kissed his ring last time you saw him so your people don’t needlessly die while he holds back supplies until you do him a favor...

Sent a false message to stroke Trump’s Ego? Why?

She must be a Democrat. According to realDonaldTrump only democrats are unable to to get a handle on their cities.

vicki123 So many of its citizens are so unbelievably arrogant selfish and stupid

Oh NOW you come crawling

No federal help or Guidance to help! Trump has failed all of us!

Ask the “president” you voted for. I

NPR ambulance-chasers report on yet another failed city? Please stop this nonsense by sharing USEFUL NEWS re how Ivermectin (perhaps w/ w/ Zelenko Protocol) can PREVENT ICU's from filling? Fauci & NPR are too blinkered & proud. Learn from SUCCESS!

33kindnessrulz The science warned us. The chickens are coming home to roost. So, let's help those in need, and remove those who let things get sooooooo bad! TrumpLiesAmericansDie

20 bucks trump tweets she’s a “nasty woman” during his morning shit. TrumpVirus

No redirected supplies!

Reality of listening to a failed business person, with long history of claiming intelligence and knowledge he never possessed. Like all snake oil salesmen, he’s a con, fraud and documented criminal realDonaldTrump has failed our nation as POTUS and now wants to kill more

This is an extremely poor choice of context-less quote for this tweet. Gallego was referring to the state of Arizona, 'we'. It wasn't her fault. Doug Ducey is squarely to blame for his inaction and for actively preventing counties and cities from enacting effective restrictions.

JohnnyDee62 Seems your inept to hold the position of governing the people of Arizona. Maybe you should resign immediately.

Ffs. 😠

If only there was a way of predicting and avoiding this....

On NPR can Brigid Shea's new military head beheading all decent in neurology follow the Sheas preaching their Noah's ark goals of blasting off the earth's crust for Sheas unable to wake up from being kimcheed by my Angola citizen alumni?

How many cooks have died of COVID compared to how many have died in protests over the last 2 months....

Funny how science works. It doesn’t give a flying f*ck about politics.

Air-head

Yet, no one in this picture is wearing a mask

HA! THAT'S funny! NOT. K. Lee McEnemy just told the country & the world that Donnie boy's response to COVID-19 was awesome; & that we are doing so well handling everything here in the US that he sent the 'EXTRA ventilators & PPE' to OTHER countries who ACTUALLY NEED it. Idiot(s).

State Mayors shld be banning together to push Gov to shut the state back down!!

Good job going through all the talking points Biden asked you to say. A hand puppet has more independent thoughts than the mayor. Just ignorant and no clue

What Mayor Kate can't say on public radio or to media outlets is that her efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus early was undermined by PATRIARCHY.

Your death toll is plummeting dumbshit!

realDonaldTrump Are ya gonna help? Do your job. TrumpVirus EndTheNightmare

lol

Sorry sweetie. More resources in exchange for your resignation

better get together a plan if you need the resources .

I listened to this on the way home... did she really say they're making librarians give Covid19 tests?

Not sure what you all were thinking, azleg idleg txleg flleg. Science was screaming at you.

Yes yes we all told you so. Now can we please get them some help? Is there any help? Anyone

Doesn't she know there's a PPE shortage? Now they're wanting PPE for all the idiots who failed to take the virus seriously? Pleeeeeease. 🙄🖕

Oh. Fuckin. Well. Could have seen it coming from 2,409.1 miles away.

Mask anyone?

She should lose her job!

Time to start praying!

I thought we warned them about this. They were supposed to take measures to control illness. Oh Well

“We”?...

Corona will humble the naysayers. It's always a matter of time.

Defeated? That's pretty bad, even for Arizona.

What a wake up call for debunking science. prepare ICU beds and get ventilators/ PPE.Stop all outpatient n non emergent elective procedures.don’t put ur citizens at risk, espec. vulnerable populations (elderly, immunocompromised).impose fines for people outdoors without a mask.

All I hear is the mayor is a moron

How about you stop listening to Trump and his minions. Try that...

Thanks for that Biya. My aunt in Phoenix died alone in a hospital.

How did this school girl become mayor of phoenix

Their cops still had time to murder James Garcia. JusticeForJamesGarcia

So stupid

You failed and now your screwed and want help! You should resign immediately!

TrumpVirus

I get it - I really do. But I am not sure - THEY do. But they all seem very close and no masks... people need to see the action and urgency from the top!

THIS VIRUS DOES NOT CARE FOR POLITICS - HUMAN CRISIS REQUIRES BEST LEADERSHIP POSSIBLE

coming up fast from the back of the pack is Phoenix...

😡So in other words, you lied to the public, putting politics and the economy before the health and safety of the citizens you are sworn to protect. Well done, Kate. Well done.

Now they know how NY felt.

The Local communities that need assistance have a better chance of getting help from a foreign country than the President of USA realDonaldTrump maggieNYT JoeBiden PhilipRucker CNN BillKristol

DebbieLesko meanwhile she is out telling people it’s a hoax. Election have consequences. Get out and vote!

Honestly the growth curve is past the exponential jump now. It's too late for testing to really do you any good beyond a diagnosis confirmation. New York was our warning, did you not notice?

You people ^^^^^ are all sheep.

Well hang on a moment, didn't this just happen in Phoenix Arizona? They apparently aggressively didn't want to wear masks and now they're sick? Hmmm Soaring U.S. coronavirus cases, hospitalizations overshadow July 4 celebrations | Article [AMP] | Reuters

TrumpVirus kills

I mean, duh 🙄 is everyone seriously this stupid?!

You mean, you sent the message

Easy fix...elect an all Democrat governor and legislature.

No Where Near Defeated yet!

AKA send money

I mean...how could they have known It’s almost like this came out of nowhere....🙄

Maybe they should wear a mask?

It's a long and narrow road!

Whoops!

THANKS PROTESTERS.

If only some other American mayor would warned you of the danger. If some other Governor would have warned you. If some other country would have warned us.

Really, Karen? Well gee whiz. Think you learned anything from this experience?

I have friends in AZ. Thank goodness they have some sense bc their state leadership most definitely does not.

Us White people deserve this.

It's so weird how pride always comes before the fall.

Yea they absolutely sent that message and now they will pay for it

Thank God Covid death rates are declining.

Gee. If there had only been a clue.

Horse - barn - door

Really anh too late you knew you were in trouble in February If you didn’t deaths one your hands ignorance an excuse Families need to sue
