We are going for the deep nose test today or first thing in the morning.

Yay! Fuck!

The Instagram post began by saying the planned dance party for Aug. 7 in Provo was canceled due to health and safety concerns.

“However,” the post — as written — continued, “due to us not being little b****, we are replacing it with THE UNDERGROUND DANCE PARTY.”

The address in Provo was disclosed the day of the party to prevent any efforts to quash it, according to social media posts from the organizers, a company calling itself Young/Dumb. Admittance was $10.

A back-to-school dance party followed in Provo, the seat of Utah County, on Sept. 4. A week later, Young/Dumb tossed a masquerade party in neighboring Orem.

As the parties continued, so did the coronavirus cases. It’s difficult to pinpoint where anyone gets infected from such a communicable virus. A spokeswoman for the Utah County Health Department on Friday said it had no data showing how the dance parties affected the spread there.

Amazon.com will let corporate employees work from home through June 2021, the latest company to push back reopening offices as COVID-19 cases surge again across the U.S.

“We continue to prioritize the health of our employees and follow local government guidance,” an Amazon spokesperson said in an email. “Employees who work in a role that can effectively be done from home are welcome to do so until June 30, 2021.”

Well, Utah County is clearly the dumbest county anyway.

I can’t remember if I posted this here, but it turns out the morons in Utah County were the source of my daughter’s Covid. They opened their schools in August, my daughter’s friend’s boyfriend’s sister caught it, and it went up the chain from there.

My daughter’s sense of smell still hasn’t returned. She “recovered” a full month ago.

“During the day, on campus, everyone’s fine and following the rules,” said Emma Stein, a senior news editor at The Michigan Daily, the student paper, who is now confined at home with her eight roommates. “But at night, on weekends, they don’t.”

Fuck nights and weekends what about Tuesday mornings breathing on your roommates. Being stuck in a dorm full of kids is not optimal.

Earlier they quarantined an entire dorm because of an outbreak and students refusing to get tested. Large numbers of students are using local testing instead of the testing through the University in order to avoid quarantines and other negative repercussions.They are overwhelmed and can't do contact tracing, but earlier research tied hotspots to large parties.

This dashboard has a good comparison of Big ten schools. Adding to the possible causes the central administration and the president in particular has come under fire. At the beginning of the semester Grad TA's and RA's went on strike because of the re-opening plans. I think the administration lost their students and will have a very difficult time having them follow any Covid restrictions. They may need someone like the football team to join them in order for the students to listen to any restrictions.

Thousands of people gathered in the desert to party in costumes, many without masks, in Utah on Saturday at a rave that broke the state’s pandemic restrictions.

They may have gotten away with it, too, if a crowd-surfing woman hadn’t fallen on her head, prompting other partygoers to call 911 after she was knocked unconscious for several minutes, KSTU reported.

After Halloween rave amid a covid-19 spike, Utah officials say partygoers ‘absolutely will become ill’

Thousands of people gathered in the desert to party in costumes, many without masks, in Utah on Saturday at a rave that broke the state’s pandemic restrictions.

They may have gotten away with it, too, if a crowd-surfing woman hadn’t fallen on her head, prompting other partygoers to call 911 after she was knocked unconscious for several minutes, KSTU reported.

The United States reported 103,087 cases of COVID-19 today, the highest single-day total on record, according to the COVID Tracking Project at The Atlantic. It marks the first time that the country—or any country in the world, for that matter—has documented more than 100,000 new cases in one day.

At the same time, states reported that more than 52,000 people are hospitalized with the coronavirus, the highest level since early August. The number of people hospitalized nationwide is increasing faster in November than it did in October, and—over the past 10 days—their ranks have risen by about 1,000 people a day.
