California has reached a new high in the number of hospitalizations related to COVID-19, surpassing the previous peak in late April.

As of Sunday, the latest publicly available data show that state had 3,702 hospitalized patients with confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 1,199 were in intensive care. There were an additional 1,102 hospitalized patients with suspected COVID-19 cases.

Hospitalizations are seen as a more reliable metric for tracking the coronavirus pandemic than new case numbers, as the figure does not hinge on the availability of testing. Before Saturday set a high of 3,574, the previous record was on April 29, when 3,497 people were hospitalized in the state.

1. Arizona's Ducey wants to be numero uno.

He is killing his prospects for consideration as a leader of the state and his party.

5. AZ is way down on the list.

Going by per-capita #s.

8. AZ voters could deliver

Mark Kelly a Senate seat in November. We need every possible win and support of our candidates to make it happen, imo.

2. Sounds like a slow motion herd immunity since we have no central government, its like 50 seperate

countries with open borders, one may be testing, precautions in place while their neighbor is party central. This will not end well if it ever ends.

7. It's unconscionable what's happening. Trump's just letting people get infected and die.

States don't have the money for testing and contacg tracing, Trump is withholding it.

9. Well,he did send thousands back into those

Packinghouses in order to ramp up meat sales to Xi. Think about it.

You are paying 10-20% higher retail prices for you chicken and Pork in order to fill orders for China. Also notice,China has embargoed all Pork from Tyson but is keeping pork from Smithfield,which they own.

3. When this countries largest economy goes back into lockdown I bet wall street will be begging

for more of that sugar daddy money.

4. Ha!

I bet that gets McTurtle hiding in his shell.

6. Definitely can't blame that on more testing!

Wear masks, people!
