As of Tuesday, the 28, there have been almost 2,000 cases in
Idaho with 58 deaths. I believe that it took courage on the
part of the governor, and fortitude on the part of Idahoans
to self-isolate thereby preventing a much, much larger
transmission of this disease resulting in considerably more
misery and death if we had not done so. </div>

<p>What is of paramount importance to this decision, and especially
so when considering a university city such as Moscow, is the
availability of testing capacities yielding accurate and timely
results for individual and, accumulated, local infection results,
or the lack thereof, in the preferable case. The Governor needs
encouragement to increase testing capabilities everywhere in the
state, especially those locations that can be expected to have
greater immigration soon.<br>
</p>
<p>As the academic year draws to close locally, and the usually
quieter summer ensues, now is the time to work diligently and with
full effort toward obtaining and perfecting local testing
capabilities. All relevant local organizations should have
well-supplied, well-trained, and efficient, effective testing
abilities well-honed for the arrival of the fall semester student
population, from where ever they may have traveled. One can only
assume that the fall semester will carry an influx of viral
infections, and the locality must be well-prepared, and mentally
braced for the changes that influx will bring to the community.
