And why is this dept no longer registering or announcing COVID DATA? Who is so naive to to do the right thing?, mask mandates Vaccine mandates safe life.. God will remember....

Great job everybody

We knew this was coming. And we know it’s going to get worse. The faster we reach the peak the better. The overwhelming majority of those who are vaccinated and boosted (if eligible) will be fine. The overwhelming majority of unvaccinated kids will be fine.

Oh and here comes GovCox with the same ol’ response “come on Utah, we can do it! I’m urging you to do the right thing!” (knowing full and well they won’t) but hey, keeps his hands clean and politics over public health is the REAL Utah way.

Pres. Biden's COVID plan released Jan. 21, 2021: 'For the past year, we could not turn to the federal government for a national plan to answer prayers with action — until today.' Pres. Biden, 12/27/21: 'There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.' Fail!

Utah reports a staggering 3,563 new COVID cases ThursdayThe Utah Department of Health on Thursday, for the second day in a row, reported more than 3,000 new COVID-19 cases since the day before. Including seven more deaths. Hmmm. Wonder if this is tied to the new Spider-Man movie that came out. Theaters full of people unmasked. But of course no one will report on this as they can’t afford to loose money over it. And this number is about to climb rapidly. 🤷‍♀️ The CDC did admit recently that the PCR tests are faulty, no need to panic. Besides, symptoms are basically like a cold. All this hype for nothing.
