Today the Utah governor Herbert (R) ordered state wide mask mandate and other coronavirus restrictions saying we "cannot afford to debate this issue". Previously herbert had refused order residents to wear a mask. The number of cases increase dramatically last week and there are fears that hospitals could soon be overwhelmed.
Biden is likely to ask state governors to mandate mask wearing. The pandemic continues to rage and will likely get worse before it gets better.
