Idaho Governor Brad Little announces statewide stay-at-home order

[yonder]

Idaho Gov. Brad Little will order Idahoans to stay home as he ramps up efforts to slow the spread of coronavirus, he said Wednesday.

The order will last for 21 days. Essential activities, like going to grocery stores or picking up food from restaurants, still is allowed. Outdoor exercise near home is, too, with an emphasis on 6-foot spacing between individuals who aren’t members of the same household.

The order will be released later Wednesday, Little said, but it takes effect immediately.

So far, some cities and counties had already done the same though until now it was piecemeal throughout this very red state. This necessary step is surely going to make the Idaho deniers twist themselves right up. I only caught part of the presser but it was refreshing listening to the governor (even though Little is republican) behave normally while displaying leadership -- unlike the daily chest thumping from the rough beast-in-chief in the White House.

1. But Trump said Idaho was doing great.

3. Yeah, good one. I think he's a stable jeanyus too.

2. Some in Idaho were screaming tyranny Monday when Washington governor Inslee shut

them down. Both probably should have sooner. Our cases blew up since then.

4. I say let the snowflakes scream and in a few weeks from now

we'll get to hear them scream again when they start hollering about how "more should have been done".

Being so close to Washington State and at somewhere around 100 cases so far, I don't know why we haven't exploded yet. I've a hunch that when it does, and except for Blaine county, it will generally march from North to South. From your posts, I believe you're in the Lewiston/Moscow area, right? Stay safe brewens, because I'm not confident our state is quite prepared.
