Please listen to the Phoenix [P50] TRACON sectors during peak periods. The Controller could not work all of the traffic. The COVID-19 cutback by ATC is dangerous during peak use hours. The controllers are magnificent but need help/more controllers.  One Controller is working an area twice to 3 times the reasonable area. Please let them get back to work like it was before the COVID slowdown.I have been actively flying for XX+ years. Please don't blow this off. The environment is dangerous.
Pilot reported the P50 TRACON controllers appear to be working unreasonably large areas and expressed concern over COVID-19 related cutbacks in ATC staffing.
