While air quality typically ranks among the top 3 issues in Utah, most people think not enough is being done to address it. But when did that start?
Hey friends, this week many of our kids will be heading back to school—including my own kids—and I want to share a few thoughts about what to expect. Like everything pandemic related, school reponenings have become controversial. But we will always be better working together. 1/
Please know that we have been working closely with administrators, teachers, boards, parents, kids and medical experts since March on how to make the best of a bunch of bad options. Experts agree that there is risk in going back to school and risk in NOT going back to school. 2/
We agree w the American Academy of Pediatrics, which “strongly advocates that all policy for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school,” w the goal of mitigating, not eliminating risks of contagion. 3/aappublications.org/news/2020/06/2…
[Thread] 1/ Just a few thoughts on where we are headed... the latest numbers are all VERY encouraging (w one possible exception) and it means there is a real chance of opening parts of the economy much sooner than many expected!
2) An early Utah-specific projection from the National Guard had us hitting 9,600 cases, 1,200 hospital beds and 192 ICU beds this week. Instead we are at 2400/213/59. This is called flattening the curve and it shows that everything we are doing really is working.
3) Positive tests, hospitalizations, mortality rates, rate of spread are all flat or trending downward. And it is happening as 1 of 8 states without a statewide shelter-in-place. I know this has been controversial, but you have responded and sacrificed without it—and saved lives.
