The Surgeon General in Florida refused to put on a mask during a meeting with a state senator who asked him to because she is being treated for breast cancer and is compromised. He refused, stating that he can't communicate effectively with a mask. She has since been threatened personally by members of the public. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson had a hard time understanding this story and asked her guests on A Woman's View for help. Her guests this week include Shantel McBride, hospice and hospital chaplain and grief counselor, Meghan Holbrook, Senior Vice President in the office of the President of Zions Bank and Shauna Cheshire, who has been a nurse for 26 years.

Utahns passed Proposition 4 in 2018, asking for an independent commission to redistrict the state of Utah. The commission finished its work this week, but there was some drama when former Congressman Rob Bishop resigned his seat in the final days. The commission submits the maps it has drawn now to the legislature, which may reject them or modify them, or much less likely, accept them as drawn. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests for some feedback on this process. Her guests include Shauna Cheshire, a nurse with 26 years experience, Meghan Holbrook, Senior Vice President in the office of the President of Zions Bank and Shantel McBride, hospice and hospital chaplain and grief counselor.
