COVID is over.

That's fine for doctors in operating rooms. It's not fine for healthy people in the general public.

"New Normal". There is no "Normal" to return to. This should concern everyone. The "Utah Leads Together 2.0" word salad is a tell.

The problem is there is no exit strategy. They can't articulate how we end the restrictions. Where's the exit ramp? What will it take to go back to normal? How do we begin to live life again?

You are correct. My understanding, having been on an operating table many hours, is that it reduces distraction to the doctor - what might fall from them onto a patient etc. - and has aesthetic value to patients and onlookers. The room is already sterile. Wear a ventilator if you want something that truly lessons transmission from the mouth and nose.

According to their web page, there's only a "New Normal". There is no "Normal" to return to.

Too much control has been given to them and part of the blame must be on people in Utah not holding them accountable. There's a quote somewhere "...We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion..."

Well said. I could find that quote for you if you wish.

Thank you PResident Nelson. He seems to also be rejecting the "new normal" as defined by the state and politicians.

Turning our hearts and minds to Christ is the only acceptable new normal.

I have wondered lately what happened to AIDS. It was going to get many of us and now we hear very little of it, so now we have covid.
