            You only have one right wing lunatic among FB friends? And you're a Mormon? You snob, you. Perhaps your definition is narrower than mine.

                The SL Trib is reporting that Utah is moving toward rationing within two weeks. This is what I have always been afraid of.

                Two Utah hospitals have opened up overflow ICUs, staffed entirely with health professionals working overtime. The trib gave us two examples of rationing:

                1. If someone is in the ICU and is not getting better, they will be released and the space given to someone else. I guess they will be sent home to die.
                2. If two people need an ICU spot, and there is only one spot, the younger one will get it.

                Jarid, is this fear mongering? Or should I prepare to move to Wyoming for a month or two?

                  Move to Wyoming for better medical care?

                  Wyoming sends all their sick people to Utah for treatment!

                    If only Biden and the democrats were president of Europe this whole thing would be over. Instead the virus is raging out of control in all of the places we were told were models on preventing it.
                    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      KL,

                      It is a bit of both. It is fear mongering in the sense that we aren't as close to needing crisis standards as they are insinuating. But it is a real possibility down the road if this outbreak keeps accelerating like it has over the last 2 weeks.

                        Europe's current status gives me legit depression over our probable course this winter.

                          I wouldn't say Europe is the model. I'd say New Zealand or Thailand. Europe took precautions we didn't, sure, but 'the model?' Ehhhh...

                              Isnt some of the success in asia/oceana due to not being heavily seeded with the more infectious European strain at the beginning of the pandemic? Sincere question.

                                KUTV reports interviewing people who say there are groups of parents who are refusing to allow their kids to be tested for COVID-19 in an attempt to keep schools open and avoid quarantines.


                                “Parents are saying, ‘Let’s not test,’ just so they don’t have to worry about shutting down the sports teams,” Genevra Prothero a parent in the Davis School District told the station in a report Friday. “I think that it is absolutely a disgrace.”
