    Thank you so much for sharing the numbers of people who have recovered from covid-19, that makes it almost 10% of the total confirmed cases in Utah State so far.

    Bear River Health District announced on Friday that gyms and salons may open. Gyms—no lockerrooms or showers though, still social distancing. And salons—masks on employees.   
    I think that is extremely risky. It is bound to drive the numbers up. And I say that out of concern, as someone who suffers from asthma and takes care of an elderly mother with several underlying conditions.
