, one Utah doctor says the coronavirus has become “a pandemic of personal moral character.”

“It’s a disease and a pandemic that could end. It could have ended long ago if we could just put the needs of others ahead of our own,” said Dr. Wing Province, medical director at Park City Hospital. “... It just takes each one of us ... to put the needs of others ahead of our own, to go and to wear a mask when you’re in public, to get vaccinated and boosted.”

Utah reported 6,166 new COVID-19 cases Friday as well as another record number of patients hospitalized with the virus. The Utah Department of Health reported 854 Utahns were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Friday, up from Thursday’s 843.

The selfishness in display in this state over the last 2 years has been mind boggling.

ah the perfect fascist society in the making, if you ever wondered how WW2 and the holocaust happened and if you were around during that time and would have done anything about it.... well now you know.

So UofUHealth should probably change that 'We take care of Utah like Utahns take care of each other' slogan.

Utah Republicans putting the needs of others before their own 'freedumb' is a laugh.

Utah sees declining COVID cases, rising hospitalizations Friday, plus 10 deathsThe Utah Department of Health reported 6,166 COVID-19 cases and 10 deaths on Friday. Hospitalizations continue to rise with 854 people in Utah currently hospitalized due to COVID-19. “The seven-day average for positive tests is currently 46.6%.” Is NOT a downward trend! Lower number of positive cases does not factor in less people getting tested! That’s why you need a COMMON DENOMINATOR, I.e. percentage of positive cases! Y’all would flunk my math tests if I was still teaching! Lol
