And those nine have held out despite the best efforts of mainstream media. Almos

t all of our information and secondary sources of information are through them. Our decisions, fear, desperation, anger, and disdain at those who won't agree no matter their location, circumstance, or more informed perspective are all from the information we get through them. Sometimes I feel like a helpless mainstream media puppet even though I'm a statistician in health care.

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.

runnincoug

4/4/20 8:34am

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

eddog

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

I doubt know but if you want it over sooner then stay home. The more we do it

Yep...Utah county residents haven't been too smart lately

Wanna bet? Define hit hard.

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

Ok. Wanna bet? Define "hit hard."

I think we're all going to be unpleasantly surprised.

It’s very difficult to voluntarily give up your family’s livelihood.

It almost seems fair for those who declare the closures to voluntarily give up

Isn't "Stay Home, Stay Safe" essentially the same thing?

My understanding

eddog

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

Eddie

Not for businesses.

Depends on the business. Even then...

IrishBlue

Would that have to do with population density?

SUAVO

4/4/20 8:53am

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

Benfica1

4/4/20 8:57am

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

IrishBlue

4/4/20 9:03am

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

Also the youth of Utah’s population, and the fact that the Church cancelled

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

Good, we don’t need it.

CoachSpeak

Neither had Japan and Sweden. They're fine. It's a political power play.

4/4/20 9:17am

Think it’s better as a local decision.

Soupie

4/4/20 9:35am

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

SpiffCoug

Yes, that’s what I mean by local— city & county.

I agree with that.
