AZ has been getting some attention lately on the COVID-19 front but let me put things into perspective. Looking at confirmed cases is a waste of time, someone with mild symptoms or are asymptomatic count in that poll. States should be looking at confirmed deaths...
Arizona population = 7 mill
- COVID-19 death toll 2,200ish.
Michigan population = 10 mill
-COVID-19 death toll 6,000ish
Our “lockdown” was in name only. Only dine in eating was truly limited and after some fussing, some hair salons opted to close. Every business category was listed as essential and if your business supported essential, you were essential. Michigan, from what I hear was in strict lockdown and from the numbers it didn’t seem to helped much.
So all the hussing and fussing to lock down did little in comparison between Arizona and Michigan. And our economy is actually having a nice rebound - most states are looking at raising taxes to combat their budget shortfalls - I have yet heard that yet in AZ. Actually, considering most want to steer clear from AZ in the summer, I have seen a lot of out of state plates.
