If you all think this virus is going to unseat Trump, you are fooling yourselves. Because of the hard ass rules in Blue states, he will sail to victory. Look at the recent flips happening in Wisconsin and California. This whole thing will backfire. Scorched earth Fear peddling is not going to work.

Easterner is going full commie blast against every conservative he can call out. He MUST use racist language to smear the liberty seekers. Just like Trump has exposed the MSM as biased actors, this virus schtick has exposed the Left as total Stalins.

So glad I left the Left when I did.

This reminds me of the effort against the North Idaho skinhead/racists as they tried to move into other parts of Idaho and E Oregon. Too Great for Hate?
Considering Rep Heather Scott is the epitome of IFF, the comparison seems fitting. Now we have people showing up at the Capital in battle gear with .223 mags.

Normal, rational conservatives need to help put a stop to the radical IFF, Idaho 3%, and Bundy style antics. Shine a light on it, call it what it is -ignorance!
Otherwise, one precinct at a time they will get a foothold and be enough to block all reasonable legislation in Idaho (local and state).
“An L is not an R”

Personal liberties are important, critical and fundamental components to American people’s lives. However, during a public health crisis, the government must step in to prevent unnecessary spread of disease. COVID-19 has presented America with a public health crisis, as it is a very contagious virus that attacks the respiratory system and can be fatal. In response to such a threat, the Idaho government has asked citizens to shelter-in-place and practice social distancing, with an exception made for essential employees. This is done for the public’s health and safety, and in order to return to life as we know it, as soon as possible.

Even though public health and safety are threatened due to COVID-19, many of you still believe such orders from the government should not be followed. This is ethically despicable. By not staying home, the lives of essential employees such as doctors, nurses, grocery store workers and janitors are being placed at an even greater risk. Furthermore, each of you who are choosing to not stay home need to evaluate the privilege you have. It is a privilege to have a home in which to shelter-in-place; many people in this country are homeless, with no place to remain safe. Your selfishness is diminishing their safety. Further, as long as you continue to violate the shelter-in-place and social distancing rules, you are allowing the virus to continue to spread and the government orders to last longer. That means you are preventing people from returning to work in a timely manner, thus causing more money and jobs to be lost.

Further, this is an order from the government, and, according to the CDC, the state government has every right to issue such an order during a time of declared emergency. Therefore, by not following such orders you are breaking the law. Do your part, social distance and shelter-in-place so then Americans will be able to live their lives normally again and restraining laws will be lifted, and your personal liberties restored.

I urge those who are not staying home, reflect on your moral and ethical obligation to others and engage in collective activism. Altering behavior for a short amount of time, to help save lives and the economy, is not the loss of liberty but a choice to add to the ultimate good of society for the long run.

Posting information about an arresting officer. And then related people showing up at his HOME???
THAT is what drug cartels and mafia do- intimidate the police/ intimidate witnesses.

Fact – Idaho had 255 flu/pneumonia DEATHS in 2017 and 235 for 2018 (latest year of stats).
That is a combination of flu, AND pneumonia. Two different things, but the Idaho stats don’t separate them since they are often related and it is a relatively low number. For the slow readers, a person can get deadly pneumonia from a bacteria infection rather than the flu virus.
240 for a year!

Idaho has 54 Covid deaths since March 13.
So far, WITH ISOLATION and every damn piece of information in the state focused on COVID and every informed person taking EVERY precaution they choose to — 54 deaths.

Considering the exponential curve- pretty easy to round that 54 deaths to a month of results
Or if yesterdays news is fair, 2 or 3 deaths PER DAY equals 60-90 deaths per months in Idaho is about par. At that rate, it is 700-1,000 deaths for a year, in Idaho, WHILE ISOLATED!

The normal 200+ flu/pneu deaths are when people just don’t give a dang and that happens.

Anyone want to guess how many Idahoan would have died IF every gym was open, daycares, restaurants,
bars, business as usual for the past month?
Answer: WAY TF more than “the annual flu”.

The total Covid deaths in US is expected to be about 50,000 by May 1.
The first death was Feb 28- (known cause at the time and of course is now likely much earlier). In any case, March and April = 50,000 deaths. with 100% awareness in place.
25,000 deaths per month, WITH isolation and if continues, it could be 300,000 deaths in 12 months.
Maybe it’s reduced in the summer. But based on worldwide facts, the virus is spreading just fine in the southern hemisphere too (it is summertime there- in case you hoax nuts are not aware of how the sun works). There is no reason to think it will go away.

In recent years, flu-related deaths have ranged from about 12,000 to — in the worst year — 56,000, according to the CDC. 2017-2018 was the worst with 80,000 (over a whole season) with no attention to it. !Normally! more like 30- 50,000 deaths per year in the US.
Remind me how many for covid already? Under isolation? — almost 50,000 already in TWO MONTHS.

THIS year- Feb 15 thru April 11th, the actual flu death number is 5,474.
Covid looks like 4 to 10 x as many deaths.

Live free or die? Sure, Sounds great.
But our health care and funeral system can’t handle that slogan.
