After a unanimous vote at the state capitol in Salt Lake City early Thursday morning, the Utah legislature has voted to send all unneeded Coronavirus tests to celebrities in need.
“Since Utah is doing so well with infection and death rates, we really don’t need all these tests”, said Mark Walters, the Utah County house representative.
According to an official statement released by Governor Herbert’s office, the legislature feels that the best thing to do with the extra tests would be to send them to people who need them the most: celebrities.
The official statement says that members of the Utah Jazz will be retested, and that Tom Hanks will receive 5 new tests from the state of Utah, “just in case”.
The other tests will be distributed based on IMDB.com’s star meter.
Utah citizens should continue to pay taxes on behalf of this important humanitarian effort.
