When we have a state of over 3 million and 700ish are getting it a day, I would consider the whole state as low transmission. I don't know what my benchmarks would be, and I would concur that basically from the time college kids came back to the state and started partying it up together, and we saw cases jump like crazy (my nephew being one of the BYU kids who went to parties without masks and got Covid), I'd say that we were definitely in the high transmission rate. So not sure where I'd draw the line, but I'm not buying that we're in it now.

My 2 neighbors who work together got it and shared it with their families, totally 12 people that tested positive on the day they all got tested. That day the reported amount was in the 300s, but 12 were in 2 households. That means, to me, the rest of the state was relatively low.

I'm all for masks and such, and would like to see them open the campus for attendance at sporting events. I'm not in denial that Covid exists, spreads easily, not anti-mask - nothing like that. No conspiracy theories that the state is fudging numbers. Just not convinced we're at high transmission marks at this point.
