Even considering the outbreak mentioned at the meat plant, this is no plateau.
It’s also not exponential growth which is good, but it’s a constant burden that’s going to linger all summer.

Not exponential growth? Seems like cases have doubled in a week or thereabouts. That’s prettt ****ing rapid growth.

To be clear, I’m not trying to downplay, but growth is more linear to cubic vs. exponential.
There’s no bow to wrap on this. Deaths are constant and we took our foot off the gas as the wrong time. Judging by watching others in my daily adventures, people seem to be acting like it’s February and there’s nothing to see.
I don't think we needed to stay in full shutdown, but people equated things opening back up with everything being back to normal. We needed more vigilance with masks and distancing as we opened back up but we got less, way less.
A guy I work with was pretty sure the warmer weather was going to slow COVID-19 down. I told him that it has been spreading just fine in warm weather in other parts of the world, but I think he was still pretty sure it would make cases go down. He also said something about how sunlight kills the virus. After leaving the conversation I started thinking he actually thought that sunlight essentially cured it, not just that direct sunlight on contaminated surfaces killed the virus, but that sunlight somehow rooted the virus out and killed it.

Alpine school district just had a baseball tournament for its high schools. Jordan actually cancelled theirs... I’m unaware of any other district along the Wasatch front having baseball tournaments. Most districts along the front however, are going full on regular football workouts/practices.
I’ve also noticed that most people aren’t wearing masks inside of stores. Which is kind of dumb. Then again, we give Donald a 52 percent approval so it shouldn’t be surprising that we are doin dumb things.

LDS general conference will be online again in the fall. It was announced a few days ago... so clearly, they’re not back to normal (yet)
I went out today. The place I intended to go to was full and had more than an hour wait, so the wife and I went up the road to find something to eat.
We found some food. Yay for us. No one was wearing masks at all. There was no social distancing at all. People gave us dirty looks for wearing masks. This is the highest positive test day to date.
Enjoy 1000 plus positives a day next week Utah. I'll keep doing my part, but most of you will not do yours.

I'm from NYS, lived in New England, Ohio, Iowa, and Florida, and there is more ignorance in Utah than any of those states with Florida a close second. And there is a major reason for that, which I don't want to go into here because I know it will offend some people. Coincidentally, Utah and Florida are Trump states, but that isn't the only reason I say this. People here are oblivious to things, have tunnel vision. I have discussed this with others who are not native to Utah and they have noticed the same things, so it's not just a personal observation.
While I agree that the Corona Virus is not generally lethal, it is dangerous for the elderly and those with certain health conditions, which is why we need to be careful about social distancing, wearing masks in public places, and sanitizing our hands. Sometimes, I myself, have forgotten to use my mask when entering a market because I see so many people not wearing them, and then I realize have to go back to my car to get it. Wearing them encourages others to do likewise, and judging by the recent spikes here, it is evident we need to continue.
On the other hand, I think there is light at the end of the tunnel, as a recent report came out that the virus is starting to lose its potency. Perhaps this is related to herd immunity. But this is just hearsay and I don't claim to be an authority on this. So, it is best that we continue to exercise precaution.
