Suspect this is a little rebound from a lot of schools being out over the wkd. We were down 265 for the wkd, this puts us about flat for last 4 days and still down 842 for week.

Hospitalizations up 6. ICU cases up 5 to 202. Referral ICU 90.2% full.

Info on the 5 deaths. #utpol

5 kids under 14 hospitalized since Mon.

Vax Facts
• 1,928,119 now have 1 dose, up 2,064 from yesterday. Now at 58.9% of all Utahns, 74.1% of those eligible.

• 1,729,035 are fully vaxxed, up 2,089 from yesterday. Now at 52.8% and 66.5% respectively.

Creeping along. Boosters still outnumber 1st & 2nd shots. #utpol
Since Oct. 14 we’ve been averaging under 50 new hospitalizations a day. Actually under 45 now for the first time since Aug. 21.

These long-term care outbreaks are still a problem. #utpol
Here are the corrected testing numbers.

🧪 6,931 people tested, positive rate of 19.4%. (That’s not great — again, suspect the number tested was low with schools having a long weekend.) 14,607 total tests, positive rate of 9.2%.

If you’d like a sneak preview of what Rep. Steve Christiansen will claim about election fraud, here are his slides. #utpol le.utah.gov/interim/2021/p…
Rep. Lowry Snow: You would like taxpayers to expend money on an audit without any verifiable information that the election results are not valid?

Rep. Lyman: “The fact that 53% of people are concerned should be a red flag to the Legislature.” #utpol
Christiansen and Lyman will present evidence at a later meeting.

Snow can’t attend, will meet separately. If you are alleging collusion by elected officials “You are attacking people who are above reproach.”

Christiansen says he’s not attacking election officials. #utpol

Now @GovCox giving his Covid briefing here facebook.com/govcox/videos/…

In last three weeks cases and hospitalizations have steadily risen. We don’t want to be here. Good news is vaccinations have been steady. Discouraged by large number not vaxxed. #utpol
@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
