First Name Sarah Last Name Bothner Email Address sarahbothner@gmail.com Phone Number 4065864393 Comments Dear Bozeman City Council, I would like to strongly suggest that the City of Bozeman institute a public mask order immediately to prevent further spread of COVID-19. In order to open schools and businesses, virus suppression efforts must be taken seriously and must begin immediately. Face coverings in public spaces are shown to reduce transmission more than 75%. A recent study in Health Affairs states "mask mandates led to a slowdown in daily COVID-19 growth rate, which became more apparent over time." Please don't let a vocal and misinformed minority further place our community at risk. Let science and the safety of our community influence your decision. I am a registered voter in Bozeman, a health care professional, a home owner, married to a biochemistry professor/virologist and the parent of two children at Bozeman High School. Respectfully, Sarah Bothner If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
