I just checked out the corona virus tracker put out by Domo. https://www.domo.com/coronavirus-tracking Blaine County is now in the top 4 most infected counties That's total number of cases, not per-capita. On a per capita basis Blaine County would have to be off the charts. Any idea why so many sick people there?

Looks like a data error in the database, 502 cases per 100 would be tough to do.
Just re-read it - per 100K - got it.
But that's also the Sun Valley area - a lot of out of state tourists and real estate holders - that would potentially travel in spite of restrictions, and could afford to do so -JMHO.

Some Florida Campfire Members were talking about upper East Coast folks driving into Florida to ride it out, and not willing to quarantine.
I suspect they are getting the same type of travel.

Destination resort across all seasons. Were I rich enough, I'd likely be a regular visitor as well.

Getting sick is for all you little people. I’m sure there is a joke in there somewhere but the coincidences between the two counties are very similar. Summit County, Utah has 130 cases of Covid. Salt lake county has 292 cases of Covid. Summit County is 1/15th the size of SLC. Ski town. Same as Blaine county in Idaho with Sun Valley. Summit County has finally told people to stay out and do not come to there second/ third homes. We shall see what happens.

Any idea why so many sick people there? look at ALL the top counties. ski areas = low population, high visitation. gives you a big number for cases/population interesting website

It might be construed as a good thing so the virus 'washes over' us sooner.
We pray our sights be straight
and our aim be true
We pray for no pain
to the game we pursue
We thank you Lord
for this land
We thank you for the sights
from our stands
We pray for safety, one and all
We pray we may return next fall

it has to do with the travel around Christmas /New years. MLK holiday, Presidents day, lots of flying in and flying out, and community spread since then. those cases aren't from peope coming in this week. remember this stuff takes weeks to present, and some people don't get very sick from it, and expect to have a cough or fever for part of the winter.

Blaine county only has 22k people. It's CA light. There are a lot of rich people who travel regularly to CA and other liberal places. Since it's home to Sun Valley, they get a lot of wealthy tourists and party goers. The disease was brought in from out of state. As of Friday, they had 82 cases and 2 deaths. A big issue is that someone went to the ER in the local hospital and spread it to the doctors. 2 doctors were out with it and other workers have it too. On a per capita basis, that's more than NYC.

We are seeing that here.
Reports of people driving in from hot areas to "quarantine" while fishing on the Big Horn. Tribe got pissed off and full of it. They instituted a rule that if you have come in from over 100 miles, you MUST self-isolate wherever you are staying for 4 days and they specifically stated this doens't mean you can do this while fishing on the river.
People were not getting with the program so the tribe has started to stop people driving up the valley and stopping those that aren't locals and turning them around. Also shut down the shuttle services.
Does piss me off a bit that people are coming here from the east coast or southern California if they are carriers.

The geriatric population of the sun valley area is legend. I hunted outta there for a decade. They are older than dirt.

Worst part is that they ALL come to Twin Falls to shop at Costco. Costco is about 1/4 mile north of where I currently sit.

This thread is a bot seed designed to get people to fight with each other. They try to make the case that a virus is wealth sensitive.
