Why COVID doctors and nurses are our 2020 Arizonans of the Year


Their year was not like your year.
Their job put them at the very center of the most disruptive event in our lifetimes – the COVID-19 pandemic.
They are tens of thousands of Arizona nurses, doctors and support staff who risked their lives for their fellow Arizonans.
Many not only served our state but left their families to help the sick and dying in other places aflame with the virus. Many served with the Arizona National Guard.
At the close of one of the most stressful years in memory, we celebrate those who worked in the COVID-19 wards of hospitals and health clinics across this state. ....

Pima County health officials: Hospitals will be overwhelmed in three weeks


Pima County issued a new public health advisory Monday, warning that local hospitals are “dangerously close” to being overwhelmed by unprecedented levels of new COVID-19 infections, which in December are expected to exceed all previous months of the pandemic combined.
In addition to adherence to the county’s mask and curfew mandates, the county Health Department is asking residents to limit gatherings to fewer than 10 people and is asking all businesses to reduce their indoor occupancy to 25%.
Since Dec. 1, Pima County has recorded more than 20,000 new cases of coronavirus, 214 deaths, extremely low hospital bed availability and a record number of 120 COVID-19 patients on ventilators. ....

Record COVID-19 cases hit Tucson area again. Here's how experts grasp the data.


The pandemic is getting worse, with another week of record-breaking COVID-19 metrics — or measurements that health experts use to gauge the severity of the pandemic.
Case counts in Pima County have never been higher and hospital capacity has never been lower across the state.
But the avalanche of coronavirus statistics, charts and graphics might make it more difficult for many people to know which metrics matter most.
“There is no magic metric,” said Kacey Ernst, an epidemiologist at the University of Arizona’s Zuckerman College of Public Health. “You need to have multiple metrics.”
Each one tells us something different, but public-health officials look to certain ones to make decisions and recommendations. ....

Tucson medical workers face full hospitals, unmanageable patient loads


The goal since the pandemic started last March has been to keep hospitals from reaching capacity, but we’re past that now: Pima County’s hospitals are full and COVID-19 case counts keep reaching record highs.
“We’ve been talking about when the time would come when we are overwhelmed,” said Dr. Shannon Thorn, a Tucson infectious-disease specialist, “and we have reached that time.”
Thorn, who provides help at several local hospitals, said the number of available staffed hospital beds fluctuates depending on patients being discharged, transferred or dying.
On Wednesday night, one ICU bed became open. It filled immediately. ....
