Governor Doug Ducey has issued an executive order requiring hospitals to increase hospital bed capacity, optimize staffing and “maximize critical resources,” according to a statement from Ducey’s office. Hospitals are now required to re-route non-critical patients to other providers, increase bed capacity by 50% by April 24th, and put into place plans to optimize their staffing in preparation for a growing number of coronavirus cases.
Don’t forget get to post previous 2 cases have made a recovery.
STAY HOME PLEASE!
Listen people
Are they Parker residents???
Danny Crayton exactly.
Laurie Tomasino I heard it on a post on a post. Local media please do your jobs. Find the info about the infected and update there recovery and post that. Stop post just sad stuff.
2 (of the 3) people have been cleared by the health department.
Were in la paz?
Danny Crayton I also ‘heard’ (don’t know for sure, lots of rumor out there) they were in Las Vegas before they were diagnosed not from California like everyone keeps screaming.
Laurie Tomasino so many rumors. One new case, since two people were quarantined. I believe there is a virus and it kills, but not like it says. Something fishy is going on, in the world today.
Connie Tucker Sommerville thanks for posting good news
Danny – No state department of health posts ‘recovered’ status, because people aren’t consistently tracked beyond their illness enough to do so. That’s also why we don’t get press releases about people “cleared” – they’re not officially cleared, they’re usually just left alone to let the illness take its course. However you can easily surmise that if there are 2 cases reported 3 weeks ago and nobody died, then they’re recovering just fine.
Parker Live word of mouth research the source and make a story.
Danny Crayton yes, because “word of mouth” is an accurate way to spread information https://youtu.be/QIduL2QY7AA
Dave Diaz word of mouth is better than the media. How did I found they recovered? Word of mouth from a few good friends. I don’t know who you have for friends, I got some really good people around me.
Lake Havasu Residents, the virus is already in your city and surrounding areas. YES, shut down the lake and entire city if you want to blunt the curve. If you don’t, look at the TV and that will be your future. I pray that next year, we all can enjoy the beautiful lake again.
Patient Zero in DC recovered, but it did stop the infestation. Who would have thought a Catholic priest would be patient zero? The point is, this thing is very dangerous and you could be asymptomatic and still kill others.
Danny I don’t know what you want us to do. If nobody will talk about their cases on the record, what do you want us to report? The grapevine?
Why can we know where this is? How would we know where to avoid
The rules are not to avoid individuals they state stay 6ft away, sanitize often, wear a mask is advised no where do the rules state is to break the patient’s privacy rights.Really?
it is believed the spread on the navajo reservation was started at an evangelical rally
it take weeks to get your test results for the virus and only mins after you die.?
Why in the heck is everyone asking when and where and who is it coming from? There are HIPAA laws to abide by. Just stay home and shut up.
