Launching a 55-day Moonshot on a quest to quell the pandemic

Published: July 13, 2020, 6:11 p.m.

In 1962 President John F. Kennedy delivered his landmark speech that declared, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Today Boyd is calling for another hard “Moonshot” goal, this time it is a quest to quell the pandemic in Utah. For 55-days Boyd asks listeners to social distance, wear masks, get tested and self-isolate carefully, support our local economy responsibly, and more; we can do anything for 55-days. It is time to lift our gaze and go big as a state – moonshot big. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
