Census Bureau encourages public to respond online When you’re DENVER, CO — The 2020 Census recently kicked off, and invitations continue to arrive in mailboxes across the nation. More than 11 million households have responded. America is stepping up to shape the country’s future and ensure families and communities are counted. Utahns have responded to the census at 38.6 percent which is above the national average of 34.1 percent The public is strongly encouraged to respond to the 2020 Census online at https://2020census.gov/ using a desktop computer, laptop, smartphone, or tablet and may also respond by phone or mail. Everyone should respond to the 2020 Census as soon as they receive their invitation and when they’re finished, they can make sure their friends, families and social networks know about the importance of responding. It has never been easier to respond to the census, and the 2020 Census will count everyone accurately. We recognize that many people plan to access the 2020 Census through other response modes, such as phone or paper, which is why the 2020 Census has such a nimble design. Coronavirus concerns In support of guidance on what
the Census Bureau can do to help slow the spread of coronavirus, all 2020 Census field operations were suspended as of April 1. The U.S. Census Bureau is taking this step to help protect the health and safety of the American public, Census Bureau employees, and everyone going through the hiring process for temporary census taker positions. During this pause in field operations, the Census Bureau will continue to evaluate all 2020 Census operations. Should any additional adjustments need to be made, the Census Bureau will communicate these changes broadly and promptly. In late May, census takers around the nation will begin visiting households that have not yet responded to the 2020 Census to help complete the count. As the Bureau continues to monitor the evolving COVID-19 outbreak, they will adjust census taker and survey operations as necessary in order to follow the guidance of federal, state and local health authorities. On March 15, the Census Bureau announced several adaptations to their group quarters operations to accommodate recent scheduling changes on college campuses as

The 2020 Census is in progress. Due to concerns about the coronavirus, everyone is encouraged to respond online at https://2020census.gov/. leadership takes action to keep students and faculty safe. For all other Census Bureau household and economic surveys separate from the 2020 Decennial Census, Bureau personnel will begin using phone calls instead of in-person visits. In the limited number of instances where an in-person visit is necessary, we are working closely with public health authorities to ensure each visit is accomplished safely.
Once again, we encourage everyone to respond online today at https://2020census.gov/. With the flexibility and support of the American people, a complete and accurate count can be achieved which helps guide funding decisions for things like hospitals, roads and emergency services. Respondents can also respond by calling the number provided in their invitation or by mail once they have received a paper form.
A new class of first responders Hero employees receive bonus for recent increase in demand SALT LAKE CITY — With the recent demands on grocery stores and the employees that support them, Associated Food Stores has found a tangible way with Hero payments to thank them for not just meeting but exceeding those sudden demands. “Over the last month, our team members have gone above and beyond to serve our guests and communities. We recognize the vital role a grocer plays in the commu-

nity and at a time when the community needed us most our team members really became heroes,” said Tim Conner, senior vice president of Associated Food Stores. With the increased attention around COVID-19, grocery stores around the state saw a dramatic increase in demand for certain products including, toilet paper, bottled water, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies. This increase caused a ripple effect throughout the supply chain. Warehouses saw their order quantities increase and that boosted the need for additional trucks to deliver those loads. Store teams worked hard to get
the product off the trucks and onto the shelves. It was an effort that took cooperation from all parts of the chain. Associated Food Stores CEO, Neal Berube, said, “I’m so proud of our team. The way everyone came together to help support our communities was impressive. It’s the Associated way, and we will continue to work vigorously to do so.” The Hero payments effort was one of many initiatives the company has deployed to help acknowledge and protect this new class of community “first responders.” Other efforts include Covid-19 education, social distancing policies and measures; intensified hand washing and sanitizing processes; modified store hours; new sick and related Covid-19 leave policies and procedures; and the recent installation
of safety shields at all regular and pharmacy checkouts. The company is continuing to analyze and find additional ways to evolve its team and guest safety initiatives in light of the Covid-19 threat. About Associated Food Stores Associated Food Stores was established in 1940 when 34 independent retailers joined together to battle high supplier costs and competition from large chain stores. That fighting spirit has continued to help the grocery wholesaler grow over the last 75 years. With a focus on independent retailers, AFS has changed the way these retailers operate and allowed them to prosper. AFS currently serves more than 400 retailers across the intermountain West.

We’ll be there to let you know how our community is managing through this crisis — from business to government to the health care system and schools to the drastic impact on individuals and families. And we’ll be there to let you know about the good and extraordinary things happening in the midst of this crisis — people sewing masks for health workers, the city and nonprofit workers attending to the homeless community, the volunteers bringing food to elderly people who cannot leave their homes, grocery workers stocking shelves, truck drivers delivering supplies, postal and package delivery, and the health workers putting themselves in harm’s way to care for the sick. Amidst the sadness and anxiety, there are uplifting moments that remind us of the resilience of the human spirit, and we’ll be there to document those too. The coronavirus has created an unprecedented health and economic crisis in our state. We need everyone in Utah on board to beat this pandemic.

Let’s stick together, and we will come through this, too.

Reader says repentance, humbleness needed to ‘Make America Great Again’ Dear Editor: You talk about how “America is Great Again” but I don’t think so. What made America great in the past was when the majority of those who lived here loved God and Jesus Christ and kept His commandments. The actions then showed through integrity and industry as a result of a “God fearing” people. The people of this nation need to humble themselves before God and repent of our sins. Instead of cursing God in exclamation, we need to kneel in prayer and ask for His forgiveness of our disobedience to His commandments. Have you read them lately? Since our judges have removed them from all public places, I thought I would write them down (with my comments in parenthesis). Here they are from Exodus 20 from the Bible: (notice the first four show how we love God with all our heart, might,
mind and strength and the last six show how we love our neighbor as ourselves—the two greatest commandments that Jesus talked about): 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Are we worshipping our money, sports figures and movie stars and leisure more than God (this is evident by what we do on the Sabbath day)? 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (we may not have golden idols to bow to but do we bow to the idols of money, fame, etc?). 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. (How many people say, “Oh my God!” in exclamation? When we speak His name it should be in reverent prayer rather than when we are surprised or amazed or angry or use his name as if it was ugly.) 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all
thy work: But on the Seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work. (People go to sports events or do sports or they work in their yard or home on this holy day rather than go to church and rest from their labors. People would rather go up to the mountains and hunt or shop in stores making others work on this day rather than stay at home and worship God who is a stranger to them.) 5. Honor thy father and thy mother. 6. Thou shalt not kill. (How many unborn babies are being killed every day in this nation? You can’t tell me that a women does not feel something is wrong deep down inside when she does an elected abortion.) 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. [This includes the law of chastity which is all sexual activity outside the bonds of marriage between a
man and a women (not a man and a man or a women and a women).] 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor (thou shalt not lie). 10. Thou shalt not covet (to want something so bad that you would break these commandments to get it). When we see that we are breaking these commandments, we need to humble ourselves and repent of these things and ask God to forgive us. When we do this then this terrible virus will leave us. Then the United States will be great again. It is not great when we are proud, break His commandments, and don’t look to God to help us. We then need to elect men and women who keep the commandments and know the principles by which this nation was founded. Sara Staker, Mt. Pleasant
Hospital administrator speaks out about the importance of social distancing Hospital administrator speaks out about the importance of social distancing Dear Editor: As the COVID-19 outbreak continues, the everyday life of the average Utahn has been upended dramatically in the course of just a few days. Children are staying home from school, companies are having employees work remotely, and large gatherings have been suspended. While some of these measures may seem drastic, these difficult decisions have been made with the good of our communities in mind--with a focus on halting the spread of this highly-contagious virus. Utah’s Intermountain Healthcare and others support the actions that have been taken by our state and local leaders to contain the outbreak. Because this is a new virus, we don’t know every detail about COVID-19. One thing we do know, however, is that because COVID-19 is highly contagious, decisive action was and is needed to mitigate the number of cases in our communities. We are appreciative that our state and local leaders have made decisions in a swift and decisive manner. While the process has not been perfect, no one can question the dedication and commitment of Utah’s public health, education, and other government leaders to do what is right for the well-being of Utah’s citizens.

Utah will continue to rise. Utah’s medical providers are preparing for a surge of patients, but it is imperative that the pre-emptive measures taken by our government leaders be taken seriously and heeded by Utah citizens. All of us must do our part to make sure there are medical supplies, staff, and hospital beds for those who need them in the days and weeks ahead. The way we accomplish this is through social distancing. There should be no public gatherings — stay at home. There have been many preemptive measures instituted this past month. Intermountain Healthcare and University of Utah Health have postponed certain non-urgent elective medical procedures. Intermountain Sanpete Valley Hospital (SPH) has new guidelines that restrict visits at hospitals, clinics and InstaCares. We understand that this can be inconvenient, and yet this decision was a necessary one. We have to protect patients, their families, as well as our caregivers. Through social distancing, we can significantly reduce the number of COVID-19 cases. We have confidence that as we work together to treat the citizens of Utah in communities all across the state, we will eventually succeed in turning the tide on COVID-19. Thank you for your help.

Trying times, humor I was in an office in Sanpete a couple of weeks ago. In conversation with one of the office people, I said (from an acceptable social distance): “I’ve been a little concerned about myself. I feel like I’ve got a pretty bad fever.” You should have seen the look on the guy’s face. The change was immediate and easy to read. His look could have peeled paint off the wall. The communication wasn’t said, but it was clear: “What the #$are you doing in this office!?” I hastened to say, “Yeah, I’ve got a bad case of Spring Fever.” Then the look went from communicating, “You Moron!” to a shake of the head and a “You’re a Dork!” By the way, I don’t recommend doing that routine with anyone – especially not now. Conditions have escalated with the virus pandemic. Joking about being sick is now reaching the level of joking about bombs in airport security lines. I know from observation and experience that airport lines and border crossing checkpoints are not great places for comedy. I read an article in Time. It was titled, “Laughter Helps the Brain Relax’ — How Humor Can Combat Coronavirus Anxiety.” The article pointed out that we have a need for some humor during these times. A key point is that the funny stuff and chuckles be kept in good taste. After all, life threatening illness and death aren’t really that funny. I do remember however, that when my dad was in a bad way and knowing he wasn’t long for the world, he still had a sense of humor. When the nurse was holding his hand and feeling his wrist, she said, “I can’t find a pulse.” Dad responded, “Well, I guess you’d better call Neal.” (Neal “Skinner” Magleby was a friend of dad’s who happened to be the undertaker. He was the founder of Neal S. Magleby Mortuary in Richfield) Most of the humor in our coronavirus troubled times revolves around social distancing, quarantining, and scarcity of items at the store. (Items at the store = toilet paper). An outdoor message board posted: “Single man w/TP seeks single woman w/hand sanitizer for good clean fun.” I’ve seen the music video of Neil Diamond doing a version of “Sweet Caroline” with changed lyrics. “Hands… washing hands… don’t touch me… I won’t touch you.” A guy named Shelby Dodson tweeted: “I was at 7-11 and a guy asked me if I believed in God. — I’m buying dinner at 7-11, homie. I don’t even believe in myself. Byron Trimble tweeted: Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We’re told “no” if we get too close to strangers. And we get really excited about car rides” This one has gotten around a lot: “Your grandparents were called to war. You’re being called to sit on a couch. You can do this.” Tessa Orzech, a comic tweeted: “Interesting to
learn that a global pandemic was the only thing that could cure my FOMO.” (FOMO = Fear of Missing Out… if you wondered) Tessa believes that we can have jokes during this ordeal. “We can joke about the way it’s affecting everyone’s lives, but it has to be funny, not just sad or scary. If you go too dark during this climate, the joke actually has the opposite intention and it adds to the collective fear and paranoia. The whole point of comedy is to relieve the tension” My Facebook feed has been full of “relievers of tension” since the outbreak started. (Sorry Facebook friends, I’m more of a voyeur than a participator. Maybe I’ll try sometime soon to get better at posting and not just be a stalker.) Here are some of the posts that I’ve seen lately that I liked: “Ran out of toilet paper and now using lettuce leaves. Today was just the tip of the iceberg, tomorrow romaines to be seen”. “My mom always told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by lying in bed all day. But look at me now, I’m saving the world.” “My hubby purchased a world map… gave me a dart and said “throw this and wherever it lands I’m taking you for a holiday when this pandemic is over.” Turns out we’re spending two weeks behind the fridge. “Just for fun… after 30 days of lock-down, everyone should post pics of your moustache. All the men can join in too.” People are mad because they have to watch their kids for two weeks. Some of y’all are about to learn, the bus driver wasn’t lying.” “Does anyone know if we can shower yet, or just keep washing our hands?” “So, after this quarantine… will the producers of My 600 Pound Life just find me… or do I call them… or how will this work?” “A few Social Distancing Pickup Lines: “Baby, do you need toilet paper? Because I can be you Prince Charmin”. “I saw you from across the bar. Stay there” “You can’t spell quarantine without “U R A Q T.” “If COVID-19 doesn’t take you out… Can I?” Well, I’m thinking that’s about enough of this. The people with time on their hands are going to be producing memes and jokes ad infinitum. (Definition of the Latin: ad infinitum = ‘til the cows come home.) Keep your sense of humor Sanpete. Stay at home if it’s feasible. And when you do go out, for heaven’s sake, Keep Your Distance! I’ve seen far too many people who should know better, giving physical greetings to each other. People know that you love and care for them without having to break the rules of social distancing. Stay six feet away from people. It’s easy to remember. Our health departments, our local, state, and federal governments, our churches, and every other credible authority is stressing that we strictly follow the guidelines. And that’s no laughing matter.

SALT LAKE CITY — Four people have died in Utah from complications associated with the coronavirus, state officials said Monday as they warned people to continue staying in their homes to prevent the disease from spreading and eventually sickening more people than the health care system can treat. More than 800 people in Utah have tested positive for the disease, state epidemiologist Angela Dunn said. A relatively low 8 percent of people who fall ill require hospitalization. But if that rate holds teady as the number of cases increase, “we will overwhelm our hospitals,” she said. And the numbers so far show more young people are falling ill than many people realize: More than half of those who fell ill in the state are younger than 44, Republican Gov. Gary Herbert said. “Don’t delude yourself by thinking, ‘Because I’m younger I’m not susceptible to the coronavirus,’ “he said. Herbert told people to begin staying home except for essential errands on Friday, but his order didn’t carry potential
criminal penalties. People who break the rules in some places like Salt Lake City and Summit County can be subject to a misdemeanor charge. In other developments: — Utah is developing a network of free child-care services for essential workers, like police and health-care workers. Those who don’t work during the day may also be eligible to find in-home care. People who are interested can register at jobs.utah.gov — A second missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has tested positive for the coronavirus, church spokesman Daniel Woodruff said Monday in a news release. The missionary is a woman who was serving in Australia, he said. More missionaries are expected to contract COVID-19 as the spread continues, but the faith does not plan to provide details moving forward about each case, he said. The faith has been sending home many missionaries serving or preparing to serve in foreign countries so they can self-isolate for 14 days and be reassigned to continue on missions in their home countries.
Social Security Administration warns against fraudulent letters WASHINGTON D.C. — The Inspector General of Social Security, Gail S. Ennis, is warning the public about fraudulent letters threatening suspension of Social Security benefits due to COVID-19 or coronavirus-related office closures. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will not suspend or discontinue benefits because their offices are closed. The Social Security Office of the Inspector General has received reports that Social Security beneficiaries have received letters through the U.S. Mail stating their payments will be suspended or discontinued unless they call a phone number referenced in the letter. Scammers may then mislead beneficiaries into providing personal information or payment via retail gift cards, wire transfers, internet currency, or by mailing cash, to maintain regular benefit payments during this period of COVID-19 office closures. As of March 17, local SSA offices were closed to the public due to COVID-19 concerns; however, Social Security employees continue to work. Social Security will not suspend or decrease Social Security benefit payments or Supplemental
Security Income payments due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Any communication you receive that says SSA will do so is a scam, whether you receive it by letter, text, email, or phone call. Social Security will never: •Threaten you with benefit suspension, arrest, or other legal action unless you pay a fine or fee: •Promise a benefit increase or other assistance in exchange for payment; •Require payment by retail gift cared, cash wire transfer, internet currency, or prepaid debit card; •Demand secrecy from you in handling a Social Security-related problem; or •Send officials letter or reports containing personally identifiable information via mail. If you received a letter, text, call or email that you believe to be suspicious, about an alleged problem with your Social Security number, account, or payments, hang up or do not respond. We encourage you to report Social Security scams using our dedicated online for at https://oig.ssa.gov. For more information, please visit https://oig.ssa.gov/scam.
