More than five years after the pandemic began, researchers say there’s still a lot to learn about COVID-19. And a team at the University of Arizona needs help from the public to collect more data about the virus. Most people who get COVID-19 these days don’t go to the hospital, so there is no real record of their experiences with the virus, said Kristen Pogreba-Brown, associate professor of Epidemiology at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health.

It’s not even halfway through the year, and Arizona is already on track to see the highest number of annual whooping cough cases in a decade.

The Arizona Department of Health Services has reported 464 probable and confirmed cases of pertussis as of mid-May, which is an 80% increase compared to the same time last year.

A group of Arizona doctors has filed a lawsuit over the state’s 2022 law banning abortions after 15 weeks of gestation. This comes after voters approved a measure to enshrine broad abortion rights in the state constitution. The new amendment, which passed in November with support from more than 60% of Arizona voters, allows abortions to the point of fetal viability — around 24 weeks — with exceptions beyond that for health risks. But it does not automatically overturn the 15-week law.
