Arizona Shuts Down Again, Kinda Sorta, for Covid-19, Monday, June 29, 2020

After "reopening" our economy in Arizona in mid-May, Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations increased, setting records for several days in a row.  Hospitals began initiating crisis surge plans.  Finally, our governor ordered a 30 day closure of bars, gyms, movie theaters, water parks.  Swimming pools were limited to groups of 10 people.  Events were limited to 50 people.




The 50 person per event limit comes after a Trump rally where more than 3,000 people attended at a church that advertised it had a technology that eliminated 99.9% of coronavirus.  The AZ Attorney General then issued a cease and desist letter for false advertising.


You cannot make this stuff up, it is so unreal.



And so we do not live in Arizona anymore, we live in a state of denial.  Or as Dorothy said to Toto in The Wizard of Oz  - "we're not in Kansas anymore."
