We Have No News, But Wear a Mask!

If you follow the daily COVID-19 case rates for Utah, as I do via the
Utah
Department of Health website, the data should alarm you. The
number of new cases per day has gone up dramatically, and the number
of hospitalizations is verging on the limit of what the health care
system can handle. A
study by students at BYU, who looked over all
published studies of the effectiveness of face masks, concluded
that there is overwhelming scientific support for their use.
The recent antics at a Utah County Commission meeting, which gained
national attention, are an embarrassment to all residents of this
county. Wearing masks can reverse the current trend which is sending
Utah County's COVID-19 numbers into a dangerous range. Protect
yourself, your family and friends, and your neighbors and colleagues.
Wear a mask.
