right-wingers. Locally, the guys are part of an engineer battalion.
I don't know if those guys from here are over at the hospital helping, but guard guys from somewhere in Idaho are. Most of them won't be lying about what they are seeing. It might help a little getting people to wise up.

People are hospitalized for numerous reasons - and now none of them can be. This has to be the biggest news story in the state. I would think it would be impossible to ignore it, no matter what their political views. And it's scary as hell. It scares me and I'm in New York.

family members. I wouldn't be surprised to see violence over it. These COVIDiots are becoming cornered and more dangerous.
