Arizona doctors are preparing to triage coronavirus patients [View all]

Gov. Ducey orders Arizona bars, gyms and theaters closed again; large gatherings restricted

... In addition to the state's 1,588 known COVID-19 deaths, 84% of current inpatient beds and 88% of ICU beds are occupied. Those numbers are expected to get worse, and doctors are preparing for triage situations where those with the best chance of surviving would receive the most comprehensive treatment.
