On March 30, Utah Governor Gary Herbert issued a public health directive called “Stay Safe, Stay Home” to help combat the spread of COVID-19 in the state. It encourages Utah residents to do the bare minimum to help flatten the curb, namely staying home when possible and keeping a six-foot distance from people when the need to go out arises.

While many people have done an excellent job doing nothing, Utah County’s own Harrison Wilkinson has been recognized by the state for his extraordinary efforts to do jack squat.

“It’s remarkable,” Governor Herbert said. “Seriously. This man is doing nothing; zero! zilch! nada! Truly he’s an inspiration for young people throughout the state.”

Wilkinson graciously provided details as to how he’s been able to pull off such a feat: “When my professors asked me why I haven’t been to a single zoom lecture, I just said I have been very busy not doing things. When they asked why, I told them that Governor Herbert told me to. You can’t just let these kinds of opportunities pass you by.”
