track as the US in general. They just came off of the Thanksgiving surge and now are going back up again. A friend of mine lived in Salt Lake City for a bit and she said that since they do not have many legal vices they eat a lot of sugar and are in poor health due to their diet. I know that obesity is a risk factor for getting a bad case of Covid so maybe that could be a factor now.
