Utah county is about to get hit hard. Do you think they will have any 2 consecutive days with more than 150 new cases or 10 deaths?

I'd bet they don't. And I'd bet a lot of money.

Utah is one of only 9 states that doesn't have a stay at home order.

If we don't want the mandate then we need to be smart and do it voluntarily.

Agreed. I don't think anyone wants it. It's up to us.

For how long? More than half our population will get it regardless.

We already have over 100 cases. That number is going to multiply in coming days.

The SL County stay home orders don't require everyone to stay home.

Not for businesses.

Would that have to do with population density?

Yes, and the fact that Utah is generally staying at home.

Utah actually has a relatively higher population density than many other states.

Yeah, we’re something like the 6th most urban state in the country.

Utah acted early on advisory, but has been slow to make it an order.

And even local within Utah. A community like Hanksville shouldn't be treated the same as downtown SLC.
