Because arizonas testing rate ranks 51st in the nation. 51st. Because they are behind all of the other 49 states, and theyre behind washington, d. C. , as well. Thats pretty good data from the Kaiser Family foundation. So arizonas testing is absolutely terrible and they know theyve got a pretty big problem on their hands so last week, arizonas republican governor doug ducey announced we extend arizonas stayathome order until at least mid may.
