Utah is maxing out its COVID-19 testing capacityUnless the state can obtain more testing supplies and providers, future case counts — while record-breaking — could drastically understate the actual prevalence of the virus. Kinda crazy that after almost 2 years pretty much nowhere in U.S. conducts geographic seroprevalence surveys to give accurate estimates. Out of tests? Follow the poop:

Utah leaders allow schools facing COVID-19 outbreaks to briefly move onlineUtah schools facing outbreaks — or schools where officials decide “the risks related to in-person instruction temporarily outweigh the value” — can now move online for up to one week. Did we not decide online classes turn kids into zombies or something else terrible? Oh, forgot, Utah pretzel logic. It’s getting ugly. So is it for 4 days? Or is it until this surge is over? I’m confused.

If you have symptoms, you likely have COVID, Utah health official saysUtah is quickly running out of COVID-19 tests after giving nearly 50,000 tests per day while omicron surges through the state, Gov. Spencer Cox said Friday. But he does nothing about it. Like once a month he just posts a video saying 'we need to mask up, take vaccines, so our health care workers aren't overwhelmed.' But then when they ask him about a masks mandate he says no we won't have one. So what is after 'strongly urge'? Is he going to 'sincerely plea' or maybe even 'profoundly beg' people to start taking things seriously? Giving lots of thoughts and prayers that these so called leaders, especially Cox, start succumbing to Covid. Is not real until they start dying off.

If you have symptoms, assume you have COVID, Utah health official saysDr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologist, said Utahns should assume they have COVID-19 if they have symptoms and stay home and away from others for 5 days while symptomatic. The state is also pausing its school test-to-stay program. People should also assume they have Covid if they are asymptomatic and stay home forever. What a fucking joke They're pausing test to stay and telling people not to test but then schools are using the positive tests as a gauge of whether the school should remain in person or not. How does that make any sense?
