Donald Trump said the coronavirus would quickly disappear in hot temperatures. Like Arizona?

COVID-19 cases in Arizona jump by single-day record of 2,519

An Arizona sheriff who said he wouldn't enforce the state's stay-at-home order has tested positive for Covid-19!

Pinal County Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb is obviously a Trumpzi. Too bad he is drinking the cool-aid. He should know better. Not surprising in that he ignores public health prevention advice, he has tested positive for coronavirus. BTW, is that really Donald Trump in the forefront of this picture with Sheriff Lamb? If it is, can anybody tell if he's awake or not?

Meanwhile, OMG! Coronavirus cases in Arizona are surging again.

Health officials in Arizona reported more than 40,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 as of Wednesday, June 17, with 1,827 new cases reported that day. 

More than 1,200 people in the state have died from the virus.

Arizona is among 10 states that are seeing their highest seven-day average of new coronavirus cases per day since the pandemic started, according to a CNN analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University.

The data includes new cases reported through Tuesday by Johns Hopkins.

Ducey resisted broad calls from physicians across his state to implement a statewide mandate for wearing masks in public places.

Arizona's Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb announced on Wednesday that he had tested positive for Covid-19.

(CNN)- by Harmeet Kaur:  When Arizona Govornor Doug Ducey extended the state's stay-at-home order into mid-May, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb countered that the policy had gone on long enough. (So, let Maine Writer get this right?  Sheriff Mark Lamb has secretly been training in public health and disease prevention?  He obviously thinks he knows more than the medical scientists? IDTS!)

"The numbers don't justify the actions anymore," he told The Arizona Republic in early May. "Three hundred deaths is not a significant enough number to continue to ruin the economy."

(Hello? Arizona's deaths are 1,200!  Does Sheriff Mark Lamb know how to count?  Probably not. You start at the number "1" and count forward until you have included all the tragic numbers of people who are listed as dead.)

Lamb said he would talk to residents in the jurisdiction near Phoenix about complying with the order. But he wouldn't criminally enforce it.

"I think people want to know that we're going to support their constitutional rights," he told the newspaper. "I felt (Ducey) pushed me into a position where I needed to make our stance clear."

Less than two months later, the sheriff announced Wednesday that he had tested positive for Covid-19.
"Unfortunately, as a law enforcement official and elected leader, we do not have the luxury of staying home," Lamb wrote on Facebook. "This line of work is inherently dangerous, and that is a risk we take when we sign up for the job. Today, that risk is the COVID-19 virus." The sheriff said he was invited to an event Tuesday at the White House and was screened. Though he was asymptomatic, he tested positive for the coronavirus.

Lamb likely got infected at a June 14, reelection event, he said. 

Video from the event, in San Tan Valley, Arizona, shows Lamb greeting and interacting with supporters, according to the Casa Grande Dispatch.

Neither the sheriff nor the event's attendees wear masks in the video, it shows. (#wearamask!)

Lamb will self-quarantine for at least 14 days, he said Wednesday. The Pinal County Public Health Department was working to track everyone he came into contact with after the campaign event, he said.

So, would someone who advises Donald Trump please explain to him that Arizona is hot. In fact, on June 18, 2020 the temperature is 102 degrees F.  So, it certainly doesn't appear as though heat is killing the coronavirus.
