Now @DrAngelaCDunn is updating the council on Covid. Everything is up.
Rate among 5-11 is up. And last year we had Test-to-Play, masking, etc. That’s a best case scenario.
@DrAngelaCDunn 5-11 had the highest rate of infection and most cases. 3 new hospitalizations.
Winder Newton asks if Primary is the only hospital that admits kids. It is not.
Overall case count up 156%.
School starting. Had 174 cases school-related. 200 cases pending verification. #utpol
Herriman and Riverton continue to be top hotspots.
Primary Childrens is at 117% capacity. Very large number of RSV cases and there are trauma and accidents.
Vaccinations have flattened after a small uptick.
Dunn said in SLCo 50 individuals out of 1.3 million vaccines administered have had side effects. Most are treatable. One had a heart attack and one had pericarditis.
Snelgrove thinks SLCO needs better ads. Wants the U & Y football coach. Get Donovan Mitchell.

@GovCox Cox: To those health care providers, our heart breaks that you’re going through this again. Especially caring for people who didn’t take the opportunity to protect themselves.
For first time in pandemic we had a moment Friday evening where there was no ICU space. #utpol
Cox: Rural hospital was looking to transfer a patient to a referral ICU and was turned away. Only lasted a few hours but in critical care every minute counts.
Cox says he will meet with the Lege this week. He’s met with Lege leaders regularly over last two weeks. #utpol
