I live in Arizona, we are still spiking! We're nearing an average of 14% positive. Our daily averages have been over 25% for days now with no sign of any flattening!

People wait in lines for over 8 hours for tests. Some have waited over 13 hours for testing. Some have waited 8 hours only to be turned away because they ran out of tests. If lucky enough to be tested it can take 10 days to get the results back because many of the tests are sent to Florida for evaluation. It's summer and it's hot waiting in a car or in line for 8-13 hours. It's going to be 116° this weekend.
