Idaho has more health care workers infected than people hospitalized with CV. That seems

strange. 156 and 135. Maybe just sounds bad since there have been almost 1500 cases.

Our governor is going to make the call on continuing the shutdown tomorrow and we just had our deadliest day yesterday. We had a couple more deaths in my county yesterday as well, after holding steady for a couple of days. I was really hoping we were being good and lucky enough to really be stopping it here. It made me feel a little safer making my bi-weekly supply run yesterday.

Of course the half-wits are all calling for reopening everything. On my walk this morning I saw a restaurant that was open, defying the shut down order. I bet they already were turned in. It's right on main street.

Here's what our local paper has. Comments on a previous shutdown story were overwhelmingly for keeping it in place. Not that surprising because The Trib is despised by Trumpers.
