Situational awareness – July 23, 2020

Good morning from Salt Lake City

Let’s Thursday!


  TICK TOCK  

103 Days to the 2020 election (11/3/2020)

181 days to inauguration day (01/20/2021)

Here are the stories you need to pay attention to this morning:

  • Congress gets a good start on a coronavirus relief bill.
  • Gov. Herbert again asks Utahns to wear a mask in public but stopped short of mandating the practice.
  • The U.S. government cut a nearly $2 billion deal for millions of doses of a coronavirus vaccine.

PROGRAMMING NOTE

We won’t publish a newsletter on Friday due to the Pioneer Day holiday. 

We’ll return bright and early on Monday, July 27th.


TRIVIA TIME

Since we’re taking tomorrow off, we’re bringing you our weekly trivia contest a day early. 

Today’s question is courtesy of Mike Winder who brings us a very timely query:

Which President of the United States attended the Days of ’47 Rodeo on Pioneer Day in Salt Lake City?

Send your answers to me at [email protected]. We’ll select a winner at random from the correct answers.

Good luck!
