What does it mean when more Idahoans have died from influenza at this point in the flu season than in the last seven years?
Well, chances are that makes fewer Republicans heading to the polls in the Gem State this year, since Idaho is one of the country's deepest shades of red. But it also makes us wonder if our government is prepared for a major national flu outbreak. In case you've noticed, things aren't exactly running smoothly in Washington these days. And since scientists have already been gagged by the Trumpsters, it's pretty easy to be skeptical about how transparent this Administration would be in a pandemic.
A hundred years ago, the government bungled the flu for the sake of wartime morale. We'd like to think that communications about an epidemic would be better today. But Washington is in chaos. Let's hope that, unlike the Trump crowd of incompetents, Nazis and traitors — with whom, thanks to the soullessly complicit Republicans in Congress, we appear to be hopelessly stuck — this year's strain of influenza will simply run its course. We cats HISS.
