The PANIC articles get written without examining the data. Below are the data current as of right now. Notice the trend the past seven days...

You are part of the Boy Who Cried Wolf Club.

When a real challenge to our liberty comes, you’ll be all worn out from fighting a mirage.

Or all the patriots will have gotten sick or arrested on this fool’s errand.

Or no one will believe you, because you were so quick to jump the gun and were proven wrong.

It’s been explained several times.

Yet Kootenai Health Hospital in Coeur d’Alene, Kootenai County is reporting Hospital Status as of 9/08/2021, 8 a.m.:
Total Number of COVID-19 Inpatients: 111
Number of COVID-19 Patients Requiring Critical Care: 38

That is wildly inconsistent with the data you found at the NYT.

The Idaho Department of Public Health is reporting these five counties with the highest number of cases for week ending 9/11/21:
Canyon - 567
Kootenai - 358
Twin Falls - 203
Ada - 190
Bannock - 162

Interestingly, the same site reports the current Idaho State surge peaked on 8/31/21 with 1,455 cases, but the case count is 814 on 9/8/21. Cases have DECLINED 44% in one week (hopefully it is a real decline and not due to lagging data reporting).

Statewide deaths (”COVID-Related”) during the current surge peaked at 12 on 8/24/21 and fell to 3 on Tuesday 9/7/21.

Boosters are very common. No big deal. Its how our immune system works.


It’s the first vaccine they’re giving people for a coronavirus, and by the lousy job they did, you can tell.

Natural immunity will produce community immunity. The artificial immunity is weak and gets weaker each week.

It was also in the New York Times today, with their own reporting, not an AP pickup,, and other sources quoted, including Idaho Governor Brad Little.

It was in a story titled “U.S. Covid Cases Rise Above 40 Million.” Our total cases to date, as of September 7, total 221 million.

People were asked not to travel on the Labor Day weekend, but 2.13 million travelers passed through U.S. airports on Friday, September 4.

Governor Little said, “I wish everyone could have seen what I saw in the ICU last night.”

Yes, it’s the most vaccinated country in the world by percentage, and that’s why most of the new cases are among the vaccinated.

If there were no people left who were unvaccinated, the percentage of vaccinated cases would be 100 percent.

We are not yet dealing with virus resistant to the vaccines. That is, reportedly, Mu, which is not here yet.

Actually, according to modern psych usage, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is neurosis, not psychosis.

Psychosis is when you see wild animals climbing the stairs to your bedroom.

As for Israel, see my post 111.

In my neck if the woods hospitals started going from semi private to private rooms a few years ago.

Have they done that in Idaho, too?

In which case, any bug could do this, including a flu bug that the eggheads didn’t plan for.

In any case, show me pics from the hospitals.

Trust but verify.

I’m not taking Big Med’s word for jack **** anymore.

That graph is a bit deceptive. There was a very short downturn, and then a long bit reflecting the absence of data on Labor Day was tacked on to it.

They are called “repurposed rooms” in the Times story, such as conference rooms.

Also note that the governor was there himself and was quoted. He’s hardly the medical establishment.
