2,517 new cases in Utah. That destroys the previous record for a Tuesday (last Tuesday) by nearly 1,000 cases (last Tuesday was 1,669).
New record high for being on ventilators (278).
Second deadliest day in this month so far (11).
Positivity rate still near 20 percent (19.6 percent). Anything over 5 percent is considered unhealthy.
Annnnndddd people are protesting in front of the governor's mansion over masks.

Charts like this are useless unless adjusted for population. Adjusting for amount of tests would also be very valuable.

they shut down almost all of their secondary schools
Jordan School District moves 14 of 15 schools under review to online learning after emergency meeting
Jordan School district voted to move 14 of its 15 schools to remote learning during an emergency meeting on Wednesday following an increase in COVID-19 cases.

I’ve been getting texts from my former colleagues in Jordan all night tonight. It’s a mess. You have teachers calling in sick because they feel like the district isn’t doing anything to protect them. you have teachers getting sick in the middle of the day and leaving. Literally, a teacher was eating in the faculty room, recognized he didn’t have any taste, and left at lunch leaving secretaries scattering to find subs. You have hundreds of kids in quarantine. You have a massive sub shortage which means that the quality of sub teaches is awful. You’re literally just trying to put a warm adult body in the classroom. It’s a mess.
Parents never think about this, but the ability of teachers to design online and in person curriculum is limited. So while parents see a ****** canvas course, they need to understand why. Teachers cannot design two curriculum at the same time for all of their courses. It’s literally impossible not only because teachers have a finite amount of time in a day but also because the programs used don’t allow it. Canvas and Skyward (the gradekeeping program most Utah districts use) have syncing issues with face to face and online courses. Literally, teachers cannot create separate courses for online and in person students because each course was be given an accredited class code. The state of Utah has limited codes (they never imagined needing online codes for all accredited face to face classes). There are some creative ways of getting around this... like listing the principal as the teacher for an online only course and adding the real teacher to it. But that presents its own set of issues...
So there’s so much mess under the hood that parents don’t understand. And that’s without taking into consideration that teachers and students are getting sick, suffering, and in some cases, dying.
Honestly, I really liked what Salt Lake School District has done. They’re the only district in the entire state that has followed the science and has the courage to act responsibly. Their kids aren’t suffering with switching between online and in person. Their teachers feel supported. The rest have been embarrassments. Canyons and Jordan have been awful. Granite has been bad. Murray has been meh. Davis started out with the right idea but then caved. Alpine has been mostly terrible although I think their early out days so kids don’t stick around at the school for lunch was a good idea. I know provo and nebo have done some hybrid things but I don’t have their data.
It’s a mess. I think schools will be shut down after thanksgiving if our numbers don’t improve. It will be because districts literally won’t have enough admins, teachers, and support staff. That’s what shut down West Jordan high a few weeks ago. Their entire front office staff was gutted. Hard to run a school without its leadership team. Many of the middle schools in Jordan that were shut down today are missing 25+ percent of their staff and 20+ percent of their student body. Hard to educate anybody with numbers like that.
