    Idaho is one of seven states that has not taken official action on Corona virus.

    Clearly gender discrimination to make only girls have genitals and/ or chromosomes tested. Bill wrongly defines trans girls as boys. Other bill prohibits people from referring to themselves as other than birth assigned gender.

    My wife works in a local clinic. She came home today and said its a complete shit show. They weren't even able to do their first test until last Monday. They are still developing procedures. Her administrators don't understand what is even involved in a swab test or who can actually do them. High level administration are all working from home and treating this like a vacation. The clinic is overly concerned with tracking contact rather than assuming everyone has been exposed, thus wasting resources on paperwork. The local hospital is clueless also and asking them for procedure directions.

    BULL SHIT!

    6 days ago, March 13, the Idaho gov made an emergency declaration. It released funds to be used on many levels, especially the medical field working on the virus. This happened BEFORE we had our first case.

    Idaho has one of the best monitoring and info reporting systems in the country. Every effort is being made to contain the virus. Maybe that is why we only have 11 cases, while being next to the state with the most cases.

    Thanks she is extremely stressed. I feel bad because I'm here working from home and taking the dogs for walks and enjoying the sunshine. I'm trying to do all the cleaning and cooking so she can just chill when she gets home.

    I would think they would determine which ones are critical & those that are not. There are many that will go to the emergency that should just stay home.
    My buds wife is head nurse at a hospital in odd and it’s always many that shouldn’t be there.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Production_Act

    The Act contains three major sections.

    The first authorizes the President to require businesses to sign contracts or fulfill orders deemed necessary for national defense.

    The second authorizes the President to establish mechanisms (such as regulations, orders or agencies) to allocate materials, services and facilities to promote national defense.

    The third section authorizes the President to control the civilian economy so that scarce and/or critical materials necessary to the national defense effort are available for defense needs.[3]


    The Act also authorizes the President to requisition property, force industry to expand production and the supply of basic resources, impose wage and price controls, settle labor disputes, control consumer and real estate credit, establish contractual priorities, and allocate raw materials towards national defense.[3]

    It’s for identification purposes. Nobody is stopping anyone from transitioning or being referred to as whatever they want in a casual setting. People are referred to as their birth sex in a legal setting for identification purposes. It’s not nearly nefarious as you’re making it out to be.
