Subject: PLEADING ONCE AGAIN ... CLOSE DOWN!
845 Covid-19 cases is too many, especially since it was sheer negligence and
totally unnecessary!
Stop listening to the Trump administration. Obviously Trump only cares about
himself and getting re-elected. Don't take that approach locally. More than 50%
of the country and SLO County' did not and do not support Trump, nor do they
believe his lies. Be proactive, do what's right for the health of County residents:
CLOSE BARS AND DINE-IN RESTAURANTS
MANDATE MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING AND ENFORCE
THE MANDATE
PROHIBIT LARGE GATHERINGS AND ENFORCE IT
PUT OCCUPANCY LIMITS ON HOTELS/MOTELS AND ENFORCE
THEM
MANDATE COOPERATION WITH CONTACT TRACING EFFORTS
AND FINE THOSE WHO DON'T
DO NOT OPEN SCHOOLS UNTIL TRUMP PUTS HIS KIDS AND
GRANDKIDS IN AN UNDER-FUNDED PUBLIC SCHOOL
This is a quote from Penny Borenstein in the Tribune this afternoon regarding the
third death in the county from Covid-19: “This loss is a reminder that we
must do all we can to protect those who are most vulnerable. They matter
and they are important. It’s up to each of us to do our part.” I don't see
anything in this quote that indicates county and city leadership doesn't
need to do all they "can to protect those who are most vulnerable". The
lack of leadership at the federal level should not trickle down to our local
leadership. Don't wait for Governor Newsom to shut this county down; be
proactive, do it now!
Another thing that I would like to point out is there is never any mention of
the impact Covid-19 has on the health of survivors. Perhaps rather than
always saying our death rate is low, more should be said about the impact
on the health of survivors.
Please take the actions necessary to prevent the further the spread of
Covid-19 now! Several well-respected doctors have already sounded the
alarm that we are approaching the point of no return.
