We have seen studies from Stanford University on Santa Clara County that indicate that 50 to 85% of the people have already been infected. Similar studies from the University of Southern California showing in Los Angeles County up to 50% of the people have been infected and now in N.Y. there are saying that 20% […]
My heart goes out to the thousands of Idahoans who own small businesses, or who are employed by small businessmen. These groups contribute 50% to Idaho’s $70 billion GDP; what an incredible hit they are taking. More than a few will go bankrupt, and for others, it will take a long time to reestablish a […]
I was surprised when our Governor decided to extend his Statewide “stay in place policy”, but I was even more surprised to read Betsy Russell’s “Eye on Boise” article about various state and local officials two that I know who own their own businesses, who supported the Governor’s decision. I will attempt to get my […]
For me, these three articles add clarity to our discussion of the Covid-19 mitigation strategies currently being deployed in Idaho. They come from nationally respected and renowned virology and Public Health laboratories. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01095-0 https://sph.umich.edu/pursuit/2020posts/how-scientists-quantify-outbreaks.html https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/04/17/santa-clara-county-covid-19-cases-could-be-50-to-85-times-higher-than-reported-stanford-study-finds/ The 1st and third articles refer to the Santa Clara Study just published. They tell us why antibody studies are […]
First, a little background, a little history of where we came from and who we are. Obviously to some, this first paragraph is from the Declaration of Independence with some slight changes. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable […]
“Bad decisions yield bad results” I disagree today with the Governors extension. I agreed with him on round 1. Type 2 mitigation strategy—”stay in place” and selective quarantine is appropriate for lag and exponential phases of pandemics. Type 3 mitigation—isolating at-risk populations is appropriate for plateau and log phases of the pandemic. People, families, and […]
We are now just 3 days away from the 15th of April when the Governor’s “Shelter at Home Order” could end. We are strongly urging our governor to get the people of Idaho back to work. As we said in our message many times on the Kevin Miller Show, this shelter in place order should only […]
As discussed in the Event 201 pandemic game, removing “disinformation” was considered, especially on social media, while making sure only legitimate information was provided. It appears that particular solution might be in play regarding the COVID 19 “pandemic”. A video by Jerry Day, Is COVID-19 Even Real, was posted on YouTube and subsequently removed for […]
Dear Idaho Residents, I attended two conference calls yesterday. One with the Idaho Governor and his staff, and one with President Trump and several of his agency staff. As you may be aware there are major financial relief efforts currently underway to pump over two trillion dollars into the US economy at all levels. Diverse […]
As we approach the “peak of the curve” in Idaho and as our Governor will be coming down with his decision about extending “stay in place” policies for the whole State of Idaho early next week I believe a few observations are in order. First of all, I believe the Governor’s instincts have served the […]
We are now a couple of months into this Coronavirus Crisis and each day we learn more about how dangerous it might be and how contagious it is but all of our decisions as a country revolve around assumptions. The reactions by our leaders have been run more by the press than the data provided […]
Fingers are always being pointed to anyone who challenges the questionable information that pours from media outlets. Anything that does not conform to the narrative and selected messaging is automatically attributed to “conspiracy” theorists. But what do those accusers say when the conspiracy filth is pouring from their own mouths? In October, 2019, corporations, governments, […]
