Hi Mayor:On a walk today I saw one of the Streamline buses pass me. The older man driver wasn’t wearing a mask.In the enclosed space of the bus if he was carrying the virus he’d probably be infecting all the passengers.I’ve read that one of the reasons the Coronavirus is so dangerous is that is so easily transmissible.I called the County Health Department and spoke w/someone there who said she would call the HRDC with myconcerns although she said at this time wearing a mask is not an enforced policy only a recommendation.I just wanted to let you guys know about this.For a bus driver not to wear a mask and protect the community from the spread is to me unbelievably irresponsibleand messed up.As mayor can you order people who have routine contact w/ the public be required to wear masks? Bus drivers,grocery workers, cops, etc. ?Some people who have the virus don’t even show symptoms according to news reports.Thank you for reading this and listening to my concern.D. Dietsch
