Headline news in Ut today...

quote:

The businesses were in different geographic areas of the county, the statement says. Through contact tracing, the Utah County Department of Health discovered that the businesses told their employees not to follow quarantine guidelines after being exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case at work.

At one of the businesses, employees who tested positive for COVID-19 were instructed to come back to work.

One of the businesses saw 48% of its employees test positive for the disease, according to the county statement. One of the businesses was shut down completely, and both will be subject to heightened requirements for future inspections and cleanings, the statement says

This dumbassery will be used to shame business owners who are reopening right now like the salon chick in Dallas.

Ainge said he was not aware of anyone being hospitalized as a result of the outbreak at the businesses. None of the cases were categorized as severe, he added.

Clegg also said he was not aware of any severe health outcomes stemming from either business, but the possibility of such an outcome is always there, he added.

A business telling positive employees to come back to work isn't exactly the same as a business allowing customers to come back

but nice try

We really need everybody to fall in line and chill over the next few weeks so that we can have a football season.

Stories like this just increase the odds that we won't.
