I am a college student who is from Idaho and have lived here all my life. I have always loved living in Idaho because of the many freedoms that we are able to enjoy. I have never held any bitter feelings toward any of you or any leader of our great state, however, your actions over the past 8 months have been absolutely deplorable. You say that you want to FOLLOW SCIENCE, and yet you throw out every study that has been done on COVID-19. You do NOT have the right to take away our rights because you want us to be safe. Why have you never had these mandates when the cold and flu season got bad? When did you decide that keeping people inside and raising suicide rates, domestic abuse, depression, anxiety, etc. was less important that keeping people safe from a virus that has a mortality rate of 0.028 for the elderly group 70+ and 0.00002 for 0-19 years old? You are NOT a DICTATORSHIP. You put in place recommendations and then WE THE PEOPLE follow the laws. STOP putting out mandates that stop people from gathering. Have you ever heard about building up your immune system? You are making this virus stay around longer than it would have all because you are afraid of taking some heat from some small interest groups. If you come out and get rid of the mandates you will get an outpouring of support from all over the state, but if you do not and continue down the road you are going, your time in leadership will never be talked about again in Idaho without a sour taste. And you will make yourself enemies those of whom you would much rather have on your side. PLEASE STOP all of this madness and let us live our lives. 1
