We are deep into winter. Yet it’s not unusual for a Utah diner to ask that ever-popular summer question: “Is there a table on the patio?”
Even more curious, the answer due to COVID-19 is often: “Why, yes!”
Dozens of restaurants and bars have created cold-weather accommodations for their patio-loving guests during the coronavirus pandemic. The options range from snowglobe-type domes and igloos to alpine yurts and nylon or canvas tents.
Ever since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last March that eating outside is safer than being in a crowded building, consumers have preferred outdoor dining.
What a vaccination rollout mess.
If you have registered to receive your COVID vaccination, don’t hold your breath to be contacted soon to get your vaccination.
Here we are in one of the nation’s COVID hotspots, with people from all over the country and world escaping the pandemic in their area to come ski and visit our town.
The data says Summit County has a population of around 42,000. The Summit County Health Department says they are doing only 400 vaccinations a week, because that is all the doses they have.
They also say, at that rate, they are booked out for vaccinations the next three weeks before they can take more appointments.
