A SUMMER CORONAVIRUS SPIKE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN THE TREASURE VALLEY – EARLIER THAN IDAHO HEALTH LEADERS EXPECTED.
THE STATE EPIDIEMIOLOGIST SAYS IT’S HAPPENING EARLIER THAN EXPECTED – ADMITTING HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAN COVID-19’S PATTERNS. IT’S SEASONAL AS EXPECTED BUT DOESN’T FADE AWAY AS EXPECTED.
THE EPIDEMIOLOGIST SAYS – WITH KIDS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL AND HOLIDAY TRAVELS – CASES ARE EXPECTED TO KEEP RISING.
BOISE WASTEWATER SAMPLES SHOW THE COVID LEVEL TRIPLING IN THE LAST MONTH – AND STATE SAMPLES PUT IDAHO AT A VERY HIGH VIRAL LEVEL.
DR HAHN SAYS THE UNHEALTHY AIR QUALITY DRIVING PEOPLE IN DOORS COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE SPIKE.
A LOCAL E-R DOCTOR ALSO SAYS UNHEALTHY AIR QUALIT COULD ALSO MAKE COVID SYMPTOMS MORE SEVERE.
