As the coronavirus pandemic spreads at an alarming rate across Arizona, the state now leads the world in COVID-19 cases per capita.
According to 91-divoc.com, a tracking site that compares outbreaks worldwide using data from Johns Hopkins University, Arizona has the highest number of new COVID-19 cases per day when adjusted for population. The state’s current seven-day average is 131.6 new cases per day per 100,000 people.
“We are in the thick of this crisis,” Dr. Hiral Tipirneni, Emergency Medicine Physician and former candidate for Congress in Arizona s 6th District told Yahoo Finance. “Times are very scary. Health workers are exhausted and our resources are being used to full capacity.”
ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as they’re published.
Investigative reporting can require months, or even years, of work before it’s published; that’s ProPublica’s specialty. Our reporters go into the world, sometimes following a hunch or a tip; spend ages burrowing down a rabbit hole; and emerge having frequently uncovered deeply unsettling abuses of power. It’s why our work often falls outside the day-to-day news cycle.
But there was nothing regular about what happened in March. In just a few weeks, everything about the world changed. Our conference rooms went quiet as Manhattan’s offices emptied, and the general din of our collaborative newsroom transformed into a complicated web of group chats, direct messages, email listservs and more.
