Two schools are closed in Latah County Idaho over the coronavirus. Both K-12 schools,

One is Genesee, a little farm town, and Troy, a small logging town. They are in north central Idaho, not far from the U of I and WSU in Washington state.

I find that remarkable. No hospitals in the region have reported a case so far. I expect that any day though. I'd say good for them. Everyone doesn't have to act like the mayor in Jaws.

But Conservative and fearful communities will stay away from the polls this November if the Corona virus is still a major concern then. You can't bet everything you own that Trump will try to get minorities to stay away from the polls because of this.

were at the highest risk, and it was still going around at election time. I think we'd get the long end of the stick on that one. I also wouldn't doubt Trump would postpone the election if that was going to hurt him.

They are actually saying that about the risk already, but it will become more clear soon.
