Utah is very clearly having a significant infection surge, and the state just recommended to itself that we pretty much drop the rest of the few restrictions we ever had in the first place.

My guess is that in two weeks, we will be seeing an infection surge everywhere. So, Utah is not really losing much by opening up now.

Mine as well. I do hope the reports saying outdoor spread is unlikely are correct becaust the protests seem to be ideal superspreader events. Hot sweaty people packed into enormous crowds coughing because of tear gas and smoke? Thankfully some people are wearing masks but it's almost a worst case scenario.
