Boner Candidate #1: THE MOM CODE, OR CHOOSEY MOTHERS CHOOSE COVID.
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — More than 1 million COVID-19 tests have now been administered in Utah during the pandemic. With a current 15.5% positivity rate, state health officials are desperate to slow the spread of the virus. Several people who spoke with 2News say there are a groups of parents who are refusing to allow their kids to be tested for COVID-19 in an attempt to keep schools open and avoid quarantines. “Parents are saying, ‘let’s not test’, just so they don’t have to worry about shutting down the sports teams,” said Genevra Prothero, a parent in the Davis School District. “I think that it is absolutely a disgrace.” Screen grabs provided to 2News from several parent Facebook groups in Utah school districts show what Prothero is referencing. “Please STOP getting tested!!! It is 100% unnecessary,” reads one post. “If your child shows Covid symptoms, keep them home but DO NOT test … If everyone would follow that the schools could stay open,” reads another.
