welcome to THE 100th update!
Well - today is a big day for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, it is Mayor Kaufusi's birthday! Congrats!
Second, today is the 100th edition of the Daily Update! Hard to imagine that it has been that long. Thanks to everyone for following along these last 6 months or so! At the bottom of the post you will find an invite to come celebrate with us for a moment or two tomorrow afternoon!
For some fun reminiscing, here are the top 5 posts out of the first 100 Daily Updates:
CORONAVIRUS STATS
Nationally, the CDC reports 7,835,007 cases with 215,194 fatalities.
Utah: 88,963 cases (up 1,144 from yesterday); 4,460 hospitalizations; 527 deaths (up 5 from yesterday)
Utah County: 23,873 cases (up 249 from yesterday); 809 hospitalizations; 67 deaths (up 1 from yesterday)
NEWS YOU CAN USE
- Governor Herbert has established a new system for determining ways to combat the corona virus. He has created 3 categories based on a transmission index. The categories, or levels, are high, moderate, and low. The placements of a county into these categories is assessed weekly, with changes from the high category happening only after 2 weeks. Currently, Utah County is in the "high" index.
- Part of the changes from Governor Herbert include restrictions statewide. These changes included a mask requirement and a limit to social gatherings. The limit to gatherings doesn't not include formal religious services or organized events. However, for Utah County and others in the "high" category, social gatherings are limited to 10 people.
- There was a small snafu in the ballots that were sent to voters in Duchesne County. The registered Republican in the county received Democratic Party ballots and vice versa. This error is being fixed, but it seems like it was simply due to a miscommunication error.
- Eli Lily has also had to put their trial for antibody treatment for Covid-19 on hold due to a patient getting ill as well. While this is perfectly normal in clinical trials, this does push their timeline back as well. They have stated they will continue some of their other trials.
