Utah's numbers were originally 619, then modified to 580, until this change
today. We are the 5th most tested state per capita and have 5% of tests come up positive compared to 18.8% for the U.S.
Contrary to panic, not much risk of hospitals being overwhelmed. The projection of ICU beds needed is now 64 versus the estimated 170 available.
This hysteria is largely fueled by including N.Y. and N.J in the national numbers. Together the two states represent 48% of all cases and 53% of all deaths, but represent only 8.6% of the U.S. population. To not treat them as outliers and look at the rest of the country as a separate demographic is ridiculous.
