That's one whopper of a deflection Greed. I'd argue the situation they got themselves into traces almost entirely to:

1). One in every 201 Idaho residents tested positive for COVID-19 over the past week, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.

2). The mostly rural state ranks 12th in the U.S. for newly confirmed cases per capita.

3). More than 1,300 new coronavirus cases were reported to the state on Wednesday, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

And last but not least:
Idaho is one of the least vaccinated U.S. states, with only about 40% of its residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Only Wyoming and West Virginia have lower vaccination rates.

No it isn't a deflection since I live there and see this in person.  Covid cases are not deaths nor hospitalizations.  And since they had plenty of time to ramp up, hire people and be ready for this "second wave" the issue is not our hospitals being overloaded, but understaffed.  And the "least vaccinated" is rather a red herring as well.  So what.  If vaccines were the answer for CV, there wouldn't be any worries right now.

So now you are assuming to be smarter than a doctor?  Interesting.  My pronouns are Dr. and MD, so listen to me.

Federal judge blocks Biden administration from expelling migrant families under public health order

A federal judge blocked the Biden administration from expelling migrant families with children apprehended at the US-Mexico border under a public health order, according to a Thursday ruling, marking a major defeat for the administration. 
In a long-awaited ruling, Judge Emmet Sullivan of the District of Columbia District Court acknowledged that the ruling will force the government to make difficult decisions, but determined that there are enough measures that can be taken to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. 

"But in view of the wide availability of testing, vaccines, and other minimization measures, the Court is not convinced that the transmission of COVID-19 during border processing cannot be significantly mitigated. Indeed, the government has successfully implemented mitigation measures with regard to processing unaccompanied minors in order to minimize risk of COVID-19 transmission," the 58-page ruling stated. 
The order doesn't take effect for 14 days. The Biden administration has relied on the public health order linked to the pandemic to turn away adults and families apprehended at the US southern border. Unaccompanied children remain exempt from the policy. 
In August, more than 70,000 migrant families were allowed into the US, while around 16,000 were expelled, according to US Customs and Border Protection data. 
Biden has faced criticism from immigrant advocates who argued the policy, put in place under the Trump administration, betrayed the country's stance of welcoming asylum seekers and from Republicans who claimed abrupt changes in immigration policy fueled migration north.
The American Civil Liberties Union, along with other advocacy groups, filed the class-action lawsuit. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said in a statement Thursday the court was "correct to reject it today."

"President Biden should have ended this cruel and lawless policy long ago, and the court was correct to reject it today," he said in a statement. The ACLU had also challenged subjecting unaccompanied children to the policy, though they are now exempt.

Since its implementation, more than 958,000 migrants have been swiftly expelled at the US southern border. Since the spring, fewer migrants have been subjected to the pandemic-era policy for varying reasons.

Single adults will still be subject to the order.

The public health authority, known as Title 42, was invoked at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and has been criticized by immigrant advocates, attorneys and health experts who argue it has no health basis and puts migrants in harm's way.

But the Biden administration extended the policy in early August. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at the time it would review the latest information relating to the pandemic and associated public health experts every 60 days.

Tensions between pro-immigrant organizations and the administration bubbled up over recent months, as it became clear that the public health order would remain in effect despite an anticipated wind-down in July

Dr. and MD are titles, nouns not pronouns, guess that wasn't part of your online residency.
