PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Hospitals are slammed across Arizona. The state is asking the federal government for help with staffing, and Yavapai County is so inundated, it's running out of room at its morgue.

Thursday, Yavapai County Community Health Services said it's requesting a refrigerated truck because so many people are dying from COVID. Their morgue is close to capacity, and they need to be prepared. In Maricopa County, public health leaders said it's not that bad here yet, although they are watching those numbers closely.

"January marks two years from the first COVID-19 case in Maricopa County," said Marcy Flanagan, Public Health Executive Director for Maricopa County.

COVID continues to be a huge problem in Arizona, and the county health department said we could not treat this virus like the flu.

"When you compare COVID-19 to the flu in Maricopa County, 7% of people reported with COVID are hospitalized compared with just one percent of people with the flu," said Flanagan.

With a lot of people planning to go out of town next week for Christmas, the county thinks COVID cases will keep climbing in the coming weeks.

"We are helping set up monoclonal antibody locations that are outside of the hospital systems, working with them, we're providing staff," said Flanagan. "We've also requested FEMA support to help staff those sites, and those should be opening soon."

Those treatments help the body's immune system fight COVID, and the county hopes it will keep patients from further packing into our emergency rooms. As Omicron spreads, doctors recommend masking up, getting vaccinated, and social distancing, even if you already caught the virus.

"With Omicron, we just don't have enough information to know how much protection having prior infection offers you," said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, Medical Director for Disease Control with Maricopa County. "We're still learning a lot more about Omicron."

Deaths FROM, or WITH? Florida has a LOT of retirees. No one believes you. SHOW PROOF!

I smell Glowie. I know you have a lot invested in keeping up the scare.

Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University is located here in Prescott. It has an enrollment of about 2500.

I had the pleasure of attending a Trump rally while in Prescott and met some of those kids. Awesome bunch!!
I also am shocked how fast new homes were being built in the area. Not quite the small town anymore. I guess California moved east.

Spoiler alert: I’m one of those who moved to Prescott Valley from California. Everyone I know who moved here from California is a conservative. Even the head of the Yavapai Republican Party is from CA.

Yeah we heard this very same crappola last year.

I think the media now has two years of COVID stories in the archives, that they can just dust off, change a few details and names, and run again.

I remember seeing stories about requests for morgue trucks two years ago. For those "emergency hospitals" that never saw a patient.

Count me In Too.

how many ‘patients’ are illegals from the 167 countries invading our borders?

[McGavin999]

You are right

[McGavin999]

Yes that’s what I was thinking. I’m getting really old that I forgot that. Actually I never paid much attention to county lines.

As the COVID usage drops off, something else is filling the ICU beds.

I haven’t been able to determine why the total utilization is not highly correlated to the COVID surges. This doesn’t make sense to me.

No one is allowed to say this and please DO NOT quote me. Dr Fauci and Brandon will be mad:

As the vaxxed begin to die, NO ONE will tie the many reasons to the vaxxxxx. From heart attacks to cancer to myocarditis, the vaxxxxed are going to start dying from the poison death shot and no one will be able to pin it on the vaxxx. The liars will not allow it!

ERs are swamped with seriously ill patients

Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning

I won't post links that show the VAXXXXX seriously damages the natural immune system so that cancers that are normally defeated grow aggressively, others show ...

What's common with Australia (few COVID cases but ERs are flooded), Arizona, Michigan, Europe?

It is the VAXXXXXXX.

If you aren't convinced yet, look at Israel.

Israel is one of the highest percentage vaxxxed countries in the world.

1. More people have died AFTER the VAXXXX was started than before

2. A huge death spike was started after vaxxxx was introduced the beginning of 2021

3. Another death spike was started after booster mandated July 27, 2021.

Who is behind the CCP virus and the CCP virus VAXXXXXINE? If you can't answer that question, please go back to elementary school.

Ivermectin would help with a lot of this.

Only if you're a horse or cow. /s

Lies, lies, and more lies. At best it’s the flu. Period.

Quote: “ Except that they were. Florida incurred 10,353 COVID deaths in August 2021, the single worst months for such deaths in Florida since the pandemic began. For the month, the state saw 30,204 total (i.e., “all cause”) deaths, which amounted to 184% of “expected deaths.”

And you believe those numbers? Come now, I don’t believe a damn thing anymore about reported COVID deaths. I also wonder how many of those deaths were illegals? How many compared to other states?

If you watched the news this summer you would have been told that bodies were lying in the streets of Florida, nobody could get a test because the lines were too long, ER’s were flooded, the hospitals were overwhelmed all over the state.

I visited my brother in Miami and my parents outside Tampa this summer. I was shocked. Shocked that is to find none of it true and the people of Florida laughing at the reports and so called “numbers.”

But hey, COVID is spiking. Alarm, fear, everyone in AZ is dead, story at 11.

One last thought- this disease is so dangerous. It shows up and spikes just when the communists and neo-socialists need it to. A virus with a left leaning brain. That is truly dangerous.
