Today was a record day in terms of new Covid-19 cases in Utah and in Utah County. The state shattered the previous record just a few days ago by about 1,000 cases. Please, friends - stay safe and keep others safe as well. We have a lot of improvement to make in our actions to help slow the spread. Please take appropriate precautions. If you have symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who is infected, please go get a test. I just had my third test since the pandemic began (never a pleasant experience) and fortunately tested negative. But take precautions to avoid becoming sick or infecting others.

FUN STUFF
I have occasionally posted a video from the Holderness Family - this one is a parody of Madonna's Material Girl. While I am not a huge Madonna fan, I think the original is one of her better tunes. But this little parody did make me laugh.
Stay safe everyone. Wear a mask, stay socially distanced and practice good hygiene. We could all be a little better at being anti-bacterial!
