Idaho legislators want to magically declare an end to our pandemic emergency

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On November 5, 2020 I blogged about A childish, whining ‘Declaration’ about pandemic restrictions, which sought to end our emergency. Now the legislature is in session and is trying to make it into law, as is discussed in an article by Betsy Russell at the Idaho Press on January 22, 2021 titled Governor: Legislators ‘playing politics’ are endangering state’s efforts to end pandemic.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But as shown above, the case count is still higher than it was at our first peak in the summer of 2020. My guess is that we might need to wait for another six months before ending the emergency.

 

The magician was adapted from a poster of Thurston at the Library of Congress.
