It seems that all the discipline Montanans imposed on themselves prior to the state re-opening has been wasted. I do
understand we need to get back to business, which includes tourism, which is bringing in some of the new
outbreaks. However, much of the increase is due to the selfish behavior of younger adults. I am once again having
to stay at home more because of these actions. It is not right that we are once again afraid to go outside of our
homes due to lack of decency from tourists and young adults. The only way I can see, without closing down again,
is to impose mask requirements on everyone. It would have been very nice if the public would have policed
themselves and showed concern for others but with the daily increase in covid cases, that is evidently not
happening.
The only people who will object to wearing masks are those who are causing the infection increase; the rest of us are
wearing masks. Please take a stand NOW and take steps to address this before more folks are infected due to this
reckless behavior.
Thanks for thinking of the Gallatin County population who have, and continue to take this pandemic seriously.
