I wish I had the same faith in the Government as y'all seem to have, but it's pretty hard given what happened to my people in the Wallowas.

I consider all the available info in the aggregate. If anything, USA statistics are likely to be lower than what's actually out there, b/c our testing levels are still pretty low compared to certain countries. But I sure believe coffin counts, over-full morgues, and overwhelmed hospital ICU's.
Since you brought it up, the Epstein case certainly does have too many coincidences - guards not doing their job and the security cameras just happen to be malfunctioning at the same time...etc. It will be interesting to see what happens to his female partner in crime.

Epstein was incarcerated at a facility run by Bob Barr and Donald Trump.

Looking forward to seeing if no mask no service directive will be enforced next week.

Just remember people who refuse to wear a mask are literally trying to kill you.

My town (Moscow) now has a mask order due to cases having increased this week from 8 to 25. Idaho as a whole has seen a record number of new cases during the same time period. A local church also decided to have a 1000+ people mask-less gathering indoors with 0 social distancing. I expect cases to rise even further after that.

I expect Idaho to continue to have a spike in cases and not because of lack of social distancing or non mask wearing, it will be because of all the lefty tourists coming here from Wa state, they should stay put in their cesspools.

I guess the anti-maskers just want to shower their love on others.  Somehow, I don't think that is what James Taylor meant with this song.  Great tune, just the same.

Funny, kind of, or maybe not, because I see a heck of a lot of Idaho folks driving around here. Perhaps they are bringing the cesspool to you?  Or to us?
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

C'mon, CJ, give us a break. Isn't it the popular opinion that it's the "leftys" that are the most compliant re taking covid precautions? And according to the latest news reports, "Florida led the nation with 9,488 new cases. Texas, California, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina also posted record numbers." (WaPost,7/4). I don't know what the deal is with CA, but all those other states are pretty conservative, and not exactly lefty tourist magnets. FWIW, Twisp, Winthrop, Leavenworth & Chelan probably have more to worry about re Wa tourists coming across the mts than Idaho right now.
To GetOutandGo: Great mood break. I haven't heard JT singing that song in ... I don't know how long. Time to break out the old JT cassette!

Chief Joseph, seriously? I doubt very many “lefties” want to visit Idaho. If you get a spike it will be because of people like you. Plain and simple.

Plenty of them coming from Wa this weekend over to Priest Lake, Pend Oreille, etc.
"People like me"? When in Wa I did start wearing a mask "When in Rome.....". Plus, as I have stated previously, "Social Distancing" has been pretty much my lifestyle for my entire life, so....
But I hope you are correct about lefties staying the hell away....however, plenty of them are moving from Wa and Ca, especially in the southern part, but hopefully there will never be enough of the "invaders" to turn us Blue!

If we are so terrible, why do you spend time in Warshington?
I read quite an article about N. Idaho folks wanting to turn things around. They were concerned about their schools going down the tubes as the anti tax newcomers now outnumbered them and were voting that way.
Be careful what you wish for.
Can't remember the source, maybe The Spokesman Review.

We are making 100 cloth reusable masks for Washington State. How about we all go back to the spirit that won WWII where everyone did what they could instead of bitching at each other all the time.
