Like many people, Gov. Spencer Cox has had it with face masks.
“I’m not going to be wearing this on the Fourth of July,” Cox said recently, waving a mask in a teleconference with reporters. “We’re going to put these in the fireworks and blow them up, or burn them, or something.”
Cox was sharing his optimism that all adult Utahns will have access to a COVID-19 vaccine by summer. It was also a relatable reaction to everything Utahns have endured in the last year a desire to put the pandemic, and the pain that came with it, behind us.

SALT LAKE CITY The first COVID-19 patient treated at University of Utah Hospital said he wasn’t scared to die, but he was hoping to pull through after his lungs quit working.
Neal Murphy, 75, believes he contracted COVID-19 on a Feb. 27, 2020, flight from California to Salt Lake City to visit his son, who is a doctor at University Hospital. He said was “too tired” to go to dinner that night and by morning, his temperature had reached 104.5 degrees.
“I said to my wife, ‘This is not a cold.’ A day later, they said, this is COVID,” Murphy recalled in a U. video production created to commemorate the anniversary of Murphy’s survival of COVID-19.
