So much is happening right now: (1) our healthcare heroes and hospital systems continue to be pushed to their limits, (2) at least one new and highly transmissible coronavirus strain is confirmed in Arizona, (3) the death toll climbs, and (4) the toll of social, health, and economic impacts increases too. On the other side of the equation the race to ramp up vaccine approvals, and get actual “shots in arms,” gains momentum. Today, we’ll work to get a handle as to where Arizona stands on each of these items.
One fact still stands out: Arizona continues to lead the nation in terms of weekly average new COVID cases. It was twelve months ago that our state confirmed its first COVID case. We have amassed a year of learning, and it still boils down to this: in order to slow the spread, you’ve got to stay home as much as you can, wash up and mask up when you can’t, and shrink your circle. It really, truly, is that simple. When we don’t do these things, cases rise and more people die. When we do, cases fall and we save lives. Do your part. Slow the spread. Be COVID smart.
It’s time to talk about our healthcare heroes, a COVID 2020 year in review, what’s up with new vaccine approvals, and what’s going on with the current vaccine rollout, as of February 1, 2021.
