AZ health official: 'We are not going to be able to stop the spread, but we can't stop living"

Arizona’s top public health official: ‘We are not going to be able to stop the spread, but we can’t stop living.’
State has one of highest rates of positive c19 tests in US.




"We can't stop living" - well, I think that's the virus' entire agenda.... to, stop us from living. It doesn't care if you're afraid of it or brave.

We can't stop most viruses - does that mean we don't try to slow down the spread?

I hope that people remember in Nov. that the GOP is all about the economy, NOT the health and safety of the people.

Are you that stupid? You will stop living when the virus kills you. We know for a fact it is deadly.

Ah hell you are a doctor? I give up.

I don't care about people who would see me as expendable.

I don't give a shit about thier stock portfolios or thier market that's divorced from reality.

These selfish pigs should be expendable because thier greed is killing an entire planet nobody owns but every living being depends upon to live.

was closed years ago, getting it ready, but oh no, we can't do any more stay at home orders. A lot of the public are idiots and still think this is a hoax, and will continue to do so until it affects them. He even allowed movie theaters to open, but they said no thanks. Some of the gyms still have not opened because they can see what is coming. And now Trump's coming to town. Well, all those hoax people I am sure will be there, and I honestly can't say I'm sorry to see them go to his rally.
