For the folks that think that Idaho should just stay open, let's go through some sobering numbers. Shall we?

Between March 1 and October 31, 55 children had been hospitalized with COVID-19.

HOWEVER, in just the last 38 days, 37 CHILDREN have been hospitalized with COVID-19.

So if you're keeping count at home, every day there's a child hospitalized with COVID-19 in Idaho.

But they didn't die so no sympathy on that from the "KEEP IDAHO OPEN" crowd.

Between March 1 and October 31st, 166 adults mostly college aged (18-29) were hospitalized with COVID-19 and only 1 died.

In the last 38 days, 91 college aged adults (18-29) have been hospitalized and 1 has died.

That's 2+ college kids a day.

But that's *only* 1 death, right?

Between March 1 and October 31st 198 adults in their 30s were hospitalized with COVID-19 with 5 deaths.

In the last 38 days, 97 adults in their 30s have been hospitalized with 1 death.

But hey, that's only 8 total deaths for 39 and younger, right?

Between March 1 and October 31, 259 adults in their 40s were hospitalized with COVID-19 with 32 deaths.

In the last 38 days, 141 adults in their 40s have been hospitalized with COVID and 7 have died.

But, c'mon, that's less than 50 people dead. We're good, right?

Between March 1 and October 31, 325 adults in their 50s have been hospitalized with COVID-19 resulting in 24 deaths.

In the last 38 days, 218 adults in their 50s have been hospitalized with COVID-19 and 15 have lost their lives.

That's okay. We're protecting the vulnerable.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE VULNERABLE.

Between March 1 and October 31, 488 adults in their 60s were hospitalized with 83 losing their lives.

IN THE LAST 38 DAYS, 381 adults in their 60s have been hospitalized and 56 have lost their lives.

These are Millennials' MOMS and DADS.

WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE VULNERABLE.

Between March 1 and October 31, 578 adults in their 70s were hospitalized. 150 lost their lives.

In the last 38 days, 543 adults in their 70s have been hospitalized and 143 have lost their lives.

But we're not done.

WE'RE **STILL** TALKING ABOUT THE VULNERABLE.

Between March 1 and October 31, 523 adults (80 and over) were hospitalized with COVID-19. 334 died.

In the last 38 days, 439 adults (80 and over) have been hospitalized with COVID-19. 240 have died.

If you add up Idahoans in their 60s/70s/80s+ who have died to COVID in the last 38 days, it amounts to 439 people.

Every two hours in Idaho a family is losing a grandma or grandpa.

We're killing it at protecting the vulnerable.

Excuse me, we're killing the vulnerable.
