“I know what Christmas is going to be like every year, but now I don’t know what it’s ever going to look like again.” Rebecca “Becky” Ann McKown was just 65 when she became one of the pandemic’s most grim statistics. As of Sunday, 1,055 Utah families understand the hole that’s been ripped in McKown’s life after his mother succumbed to COVID-19-related complications on July 24. It took more than two months — 66 days to be exact — for COVID-19 to claim the first 100 Utahns. But as the state’s case numbers began surging this fall, with positive test rates now five times what they were in May and June, it took just eight days to go from 900 deaths to 1,000.
