Perspective and context is key for Arizona's COVID-19 situation.

The mainstream Arizona media breathlessly reports on the high number of cases each day, but they don't give Arizonans the information they deserve to make informed decisions about the true risk from this virus.

As I've said before, COVID-19 is serious - especially for our older population.

It is important that you do NOT listen to our mainstream media trying to indoctrinate us with their hysteria.

Do your OWN research.

Here are the facts...

Yesterday, the percent of Arizona's COVID-19 cases that are hospitalized fell AGAIN to 5.02%.

● On 6/11, this number was at 11.00%.

Yesterday, the total mortality rate in Arizona slightly increased to 1.83%.

● On 6/1, this number was at 4.43%.

And Arizona reported another high number of daily COVID-19 related discharges - 424.

● Since June 1, Arizona has discharged over 7,400 COVID-19 patients from hospitals.

Last month, the CDC estimated that the U.S. 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 .50%;

● and the total mortality rate would be .18%.
