Don't believe the COVID-19 hysteria from the Arizona mainstream media & the left.

COVID-19 is serious, & we do have to take precautions - especially to protect our older population.

But the reporting of data out of AZ has not allowed us to have a true picture of the realities.
➡️ Yesterday, there was a RECORD number of daily Arizona hospital discharges of COVID-19 patients.

(Where did you hear that in the news today?)

● There have been almost 4,900 hospital discharges in Arizona since June 1.
➡️ The percent of COVID-19 cases hospitalized in Arizona continues to fall - it is now at 5.75%.

● Remember - almost three weeks ago, it was at 11%.
➡️ The total mortality rate has fallen again to 2.05%.

● On June 1, this number was 4.43%.
➡️ Last week, the CDC estimated that the United States may only be identifying 1/10 of positive COVID-19 cases.

● IF that estimation is applied to ARIZONA, the percent of positive COVID-19 cases hospitalized would be .58%;

● and the mortality rate would be .20%.
➡️ And yesterday, the number of Arizona ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients dropped slightly.
