Subject:Public Comment for Commission Meeting - YES to mandatory masks
Date:Sunday, July 5, 2020 10:16:07 PM
My name is Scott Herron, my address is 703 S. 15th Ave.
Over the last two months Gallatin County has been spiking again with confirmed
Covid-19 infections at the same rate or even slightly faster than when it was at its
worst in March, and we now have a total of 295 confirmed infections (source: Gallatin
County Health Department).
In the last two months, we've added 149 infections on top of late March's 146 count
that was deemed emergency enough to shut everything down. We're at the same
landmark of emergency now as we were in late March.
As a caring citizen, I personally urge the county health board and Bozeman City
Commission to make masks mandatory for entering ALL public establishments in
Bozeman and Gallatin County. Please align your standards with the importance of
safeguarding lives. It's worth it, and people will adjust to that attitude.
It's an easy solution that will keep our stores open and our economy alive while
simultaneously reducing the risk and rate of infection. Please make Bozeman a
masks-mandatory city, and Gallatin a masks-mandatory county.
Thank you,
Scott Herron
