Utah state Covid numbers continue to rise. 643 new cases today.
I think the only think that can stop this is another worldwide fast...
Take your vitamins and prepare spiritually to help stop the spread of the virus...

No, it's time for those useless old men in their ivory tower in downtown SLC to make a statement to their followers that the followers should pay attention to what public health officials are recommending.
They don't have any problem whatsoever telling everyone what kind of underwear they should wear, why in the **** can't they tell their followers to wear a ******* piece of cloth over their face so we can try and avoid killing off all the high-risk folks? I"m pretty sure those same high-risk folks still pay tithing, we should try and keep them around as long as possible.
Just one tiny statement, and the "Relief Society Sisters" would pull out their sewing machines and crank out millions of masks for their friends and neighbors, and you would see TONS more folks in Utah wearing masks in public.
But no, the color of shirt that the male kids in their sales-force wears is much more important than human life.
[/EndRant] Nope, I'm not disappointed at all in their "leadership" during this entire thing. Can't ya tell?
I have had this exact thought. If the prophet told the members to wear a mask. Problem solved. While we're soapboxing--which is just a more mild form of jello wrestling, I'll add a few "prophecies" of my own.
1. Having people return to work without taking Covid precautions will result in more employees taking sick leave which will cost strapped employers money.
a. There have been reports of people who get mild cases having lingering symptoms. Things like fatigue and brain fog (both of which could be
indicators of depleted oxygen).
b. When the second wave hits, will these people be immune or will these people who have already had it, but have lingering conditions
now probably be part of the immune compromised demographic?
2. People talk about death being the worst outcome. Personally, I think a moderate case with a lengthy hospital stay would be worse than death,
but that's just me.
a. I read this morning that a typical hospital stay is two weeks. I'm guessing that is going to be in the neighborhood of a six figure medical bill
and that's just the hospital. That's not counting:
i. prescription medication
ii. at-home oxygen, which is not covered by insurance
b. When a second wave hits, will these people be immune or will they be immune compromised?
3. Sure, the immune compromised can continue to shelter in place, but they're still going to be doing "wild and crazy" things like...
a. grocery shopping, picking up prescription medications, going to the doctor and/or dentist, going to the mechanic, the gas station and the
hardware store. It's my understanding all we immune compromised live in dwellings that have electricity, plumbing and appliances all of
which are going to require a repair person to enter our homes to repair and maintain them. Sorry to be so annoying and requiring the
inconvenience of others wearing a mask. In the meantime, we'll just...
b. not go to the hair dresser/barber, not go to movies, plays, concerts, museums. Not meet up with friends and go out to dinner. Not go to
bars. Not go to bookstores. Not take classes or go to seminars. Not go to clothing stores and shoe stores to try on our purchases, because
that really is the best way to ensure an item will work for us. Not spend as much money on clothing. Not travel.
4. The only way to open the economy as fully as possible is to open it up for as many people as possible.
