The SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic - A Utah Perspective

February 28, 2021

This past week we had a small up-tick on Wednesday, breaking the long streak of continuously better values
Where we go from here largely depends on (1) continued good behavior, (2) increased vaccinations, and (3) little influence from the SARS-CoV-2 mutations

Deaths actually went up this week as additional deaths from January were rolled into the results.
