Lyon - Covid Safety Measures • we ' • 5.1-Z1 Katelin Lyon 110 Hulbert Rd W Bozeman MT, 59718 Cyndy Andrus 121 N Rouse Ave Bozeman MT, 59715 Dear Cyndy Andrus, My name is Katelin and I'm a senior at Belgrade High. I'm very interested/concerned about the lockdowns, masks, and how it affects the town and the people all around us. I hope you can answer a couple of my questions or just give a listen to what I have to say. In the past year we have been on lockdown, mask wearing and still hearing about how covid is growing and shrinking. Yes there is a problem with covid I do believe that it is not avoidable but for the past year we have been through the same circle over and over again. With us being in lockdown it affects everyone and their lives. Being in lockdown and some places still being closed,those people are not bringing in the income they are needing to live and keep their business going. We are always going to live in the fear and uncertainty of being sick, but we need to be able to live our lives and be normal and not have to be worried all of the time. Masks make it so hard to understand people, and you never know how people are going to feel if you are or are not wearing a mask, life is always going to be a little hard but we need to start living our lives like normal. Covid is always going to be around just like every other sickness, for example influenza, chicken pox, the flu, and we all live life like normal even with all these illnesses that we are able to get and transfer from human to human. I believe that the issue is that the media and everyone is making people and society believe that if we live life like normal we will all get sick, and I believe that is incorrect and we shouldn't have to live in fear for any longer. I think that our best solution is to lift the mask, and most of the lock down rules. I believe this would be helpful because hardly anywhere wears their masks already, but also because I believe masks are not helping they are making it worse, people are getting sick from having to wear them all the time,but also because the piece of cloth we are wearing on our faces is just collecting our germs. Masks and the lockdown should be lifted so that we can feel like we aren't living in fear when we are just surviving another illness. If you believe it should stay I would love to hear your opinion, and more detail on these types of things. I appreciate that you are taking the time to read and take into consideration of this opinion, I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you so much. I Sincerely, Katelin Lyon
