周二，爱达荷州一个卫生区的虚拟董事会会议被抗议者打断。
董事会专员戴安娜·拉钦多(Diana Lachiondo)在会议结束后说:“我刚收到邻居的短信，说我家有抗议者，所以我要出去一会儿，打电话报警，因为我的孩子在那里。”在YouTube上直播，开始了。
“我家外面也有抗议者，”另一名董事会成员特德·埃珀利说。
会议一直持续到拉钦多再次闯入，这一次显然很沮丧。“我12岁的儿子现在独自在家，门外有抗议者敲打着门，”她说。“我要回家，确保他没事。”
大卫·彼得曼博士停止了冠状病毒他给了更新，叹了口气。“不管我是不是儿科医生，我都是爸爸。这太不可思议了，”他说。
不到15分钟后，市长和警察局长联系了中央区卫生局长拉斯·杜克(Russ Duke)，出于安全原因，要求该组织结束他们的会议。
市长劳伦·麦克林在推特上写道:“为了公共安全，我要求中央区卫生局暂停他们的会议。”。"温度已经上升到不安全的程度。"
1/7今天早些时候，在与博伊西警察局长李协商后，我和中央区卫生出于公共安全的考虑，要求他们休会。温度已经上升到不安全的程度。

博伊西市周二发布的一份声明称，抗议者至少是三名不同董事会成员的家，并试图强行进入卫生区大楼。据该市称，调查人员已经确定了一些涉案人员，并“以扰乱社区和平的指控获得了对他们的逮捕令”。
“任何孩子都不应该被一群抗议者吓倒，任何地方官员都不应该为他们的公共服务害怕暴力，”麦克林写道。
周二的抗议是自大流行开始以来全国范围内针对公共卫生官员的一系列威胁中的最新一起。除了安东尼·福奇博士和他的成年女儿收到的死亡威胁，全国范围内不太为人所知的卫生官员成为目标并受到骚扰有些人已经辞职了。
截至周三，爱达荷州报告了113，905例感染和1，074例死亡，根据国家卫生部的说法。
Idaho health meeting cut short by protesters at board members' homes
A virtual board meeting for an Idaho health district was cut short by protesters Tuesday.
"I just got a text from my neighbor that there are protesters at my house, so I’m going to step off for just a moment to call the police because my kids are there," Diana Lachiondo, the board's commissioner, said just after the meeting,which was livestreamed on YouTube, began.
"I've also got protesters outside my house as well," said Ted Epperly, another board member.
The meeting continued until Lachiondo broke in again, this time visibly upset. "My 12-year-old son is home by himself right now, and there are protesters banging outside the door," she said. "I'm going to go home and make sure he's okay."
Dr. David Peterman stopped thecoronavirusupdate he was giving and sighed. "Whether I'm a pediatrician or not, I'm a father. That's just unbelievable," he said.
Less than 15 minutes later, the mayor and chief of police contacted Central District Health director Russ Duke and asked the group to end their meeting for safety reasons.
"I asked Central District Health to adjourn their meeting in the interest of public safety," Mayor Lauren McLean wrote on Twitter. "The temperature had risen to a point that wasn’t safe."

A statement released by the city of Boise on Tuesday said protesters were at least three different board members' homes and had tried to force their way into the health district building. According to the city, investigators have identified some of the individuals who were involved and are "securing warrants for their arrest on charges of disturbing the peace in the neighborhood."
"No child should be frightened by a mob of protestors, no local official should fear violence for their public service," McLean wrote.
Tuesday's protests are the latest in a series of threats against public health officials nationwide since the pandemic began. In addition to the death threats Dr. Anthony Fauci and his adult daughters have received, lesser known health officials across the countryhave been targeted and harassed, some to the point where they have resigned.
As of Wednesday, Idaho had reported 113,905 infections and 1,074 deaths from the virus,according to the state health department.
