PHOENIX Dr. Cleavon Gilman, a well-known emergency-medicine physician, has been asked not to return to work at a hospital in Yuma, Arizona for his social media posts about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state, according to him and his staffing agency. What I don t understand about this is I have been advocating for Arizona; I have been calling for a mask mandate, the closure of schools and indoor dining, Gilman told The Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY Network. I did all of this because we are seeing an unprecedented number of cases. This is my third surge I know how this ends.
