Quick glance at the screen shot side by side of the countries and the Arizoa stats from wordometer worth million words:

Umm it’s per capita

Per capita, Arizona has more cases than Brazil.

They have more cases, normalized by population, than any other state: https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/

And it’s only going to get worse because their Rt is so high: https://rt.live/

Az is a disaster but I would not trust the data from Brazil...

Then just look at the graphs for AZ at 91-divoc.com. It’s the worst state in the country at the moment from a case growth standpoint.

I can’t believe this is a debate? I’ve been seeing articles warning about rising cases and the strain on Arizona’s health care capacity for like a week now. Regardless of total caseload at this one moment in time, their cases are rising, the government isn’t doing anything, and medical professional are sounding the alarm. In a healthy, functioning society this would be cause for alarm and action.

Instead, we're saying that their absolute numbers are less than Brazil's so it's NBD.

The bigger cities are going to start requiring people to wear masks and the hospitals will stop doing elective surgeries which will creat more icu capacity. Enough with the panic.

It was the panic that finally forced the governor last night to allow cities to require masks.

An outcry is what is needed to make our government do what they need to do.

This. What took him so long? And why'd he have the policy he reversed in the first place?

A friend of mine is an ER doc in Phoenix, and he shared a petition that’s being signed by licensed doctors in the state, asking the governor to mandate the use of masks. It’s got nearly 1000 signatures already. Apparently the ICU’s in Phoenix are at 90% capacity and things are only getting worse.

Exactly! And it's not "panic" to say, "hey hey pay attention over here we need to do something" when you DO, in fact, need to do something!

Your posts on dcum actually have nothing to do with actions taken in Arizona. You do realize that, right?
