Daily Beast: Two weeks ago, Brett Barry walked into a CVS near his home in Phoenix to get a coronavirus test. Barry, a 55-year-old professional “mentalist”, had a tooth implant scheduled for the next week, and his dentist’s office required a negative COVID-19 test result before the surgery.
One cannot disagree with facts, only deny them. Perhaps, then the president thinks Arizona, Texas, Florida and other states are “in a good place” despite a severe spike in cases that threatens to overwhelm their hospitals.https://t.co/UA1nhaVmtx

It took three days just to schedule a testing appointment, and the pharmacy said it could be up to a week before his results came back. But a week went by, and Barry’s dentist appointment came and went, and the results did not show up.

As of yesterday, 14 days after Barry was tested for the coronavirus, he still had not received his results.
Scary math on Arizona. 500 new cases per million people per day. Test positivity more than 25%. Likely 3-10 cases undiagnosed for every diagnosed. Each person with Covid infectious for about a week = At least 1 in every 70 and possibly 1 of 20 people in Arizona likely infectious.

“What really pisses me off is I sheltered [in place] for three months,” Barry said, adding that he has diligently been wearing a mask in public since April. “And now it looks like we’re going to have to start over again.”
"Arizona has now activated crisis standards of care, which protects hospitals from legal liability for triaging patients, according to guidelines that take into account a person's likelihood of survival, the extent of their sickness and other factors."https://t.co/UD0IiHGMQE
