II. ADJOURNMENT
A
Father
for
this
day,
we
are
thankful
for
this
time
for
this
city,
lord,
we
ask
your
blessings
upon
this
meeting.
We
pray
that
everything
that
would
be
said
and
done
here
would
be
pleasing
to
you.
We
ask
for
wisdom
for
this
council
that
the
decisions
we
make
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
our
city
and
our
community
father.
A
F
A
We
want
to
read
our
guidelines
for
our
meetings
or
public
forums
in
which
many
opinions
are
expressed
in
the
business
of
the
city
must
be
conducted
as
such.
Disciplined
honorable
and
professional
decorum
is
paramount.
Courteous
and
respectful
community
communication
is
expected
during
public
hearings.
A
All
questions
and
statements
from
the
public
shall
be
directed
to
the
chair,
and,
if
you
wish
to
speak,
raise
your
hand-
and
I
will
certainly
recognize
you-
please
approach
the
podium
and
state
your
name
and
address
if,
for
security
reasons,
you'd
rather
not
do
that
if
you'd
like
to
write
it
down
and
pass
it
to
our
to
our
clerk,
that
would
certainly
be
admissible
also
in
order
to
allow
an
opportunity
for
everyone
who
wishes
to
address
counsel.
Speakers
should
limit
their
comments
to
the
subject
being
discussed.
A
Each
speaker
will
be
given
five
minutes
to
address
an
issue
and
may
only
address
an
issue
once
unless
questions
from
counsel
or
opposed
to
the
speaker-
and
I
will
say
it
four
minutes-
45
seconds-
I
will
let
the
speaker
know
so
they
can
finish
that
thought
so
that
we
can,
in
a
timely
manner,
make
sure
we
hear
from
everyone
who
wants
to
address
counsel
tonight.
So
we
thank
everyone
for
following
our
guidelines.
A
We'll
move
down
to
old
business,
we
have
one
item
on
our
agenda
tonight,
and
so
this
is
a
second
reading
and
public
king
of
an
ordinance
requiring
individuals
to
wear
face
coverings
in
food
and
commercial
establishments
by
title
and
ordinance,
requiring
individuals
to
wear,
face
coverings
and
food
and
other
retail
and
commercial
establishments
which
are
open
to
the
public
and
matters
related.
There
too,
is
there
a
motion.
G
F
A
H
H
I
A
A
F
E
F
A
A
K
A
A
Yes,
right:
okay,
yeah!
This
is
time
for
that.
Okay,
all
right!
So
that's
unanimous!
Thank
you
all
right.
The
second
amendment
deals
with
moving
more
into
the
civil
fund
of
25,
as
opposed
to,
I
think
currently
and
chief
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
the
current,
if
someone's
called
in
it,
it's
actually
enforced
as
a
trespassing
chief,
would
you
mind
explaining
maybe
explaining
that
and
what
the
what
the
fine
for
trespassing
is
also
so.
C
The
previous
emergency
order,
a
business
owner
or
somebody
else,
could
call
us
and
if
the
business
owner
called
they
could
ask,
if
they
refused
to
wear
a
mask,
they
could
be
asked
to
be
removed
from
the
business.
Now
that
can
happen
at
any
time
and
it
it
is
finable
up
to
a
thousand
eighty,
seven
dollars
and
fifty
cents,
if
convicted
of
trespassing
after
notice.
M
A
H
H
Well,
I
think
the
public
safety
they
would
treat
this
as
they
would.
They
would
address
this
as
they've
addressed
the
trespassing.
They
would
come
and
speak
to
the
pers
individual
offer
them
a
mask.
Then,
if
they
decline
the
mask
ask
them
to
leave
the
the
business.
If
they
then
declined
to
leave
the
business.
That's
when
the
the
trespassing
is
cited,
it
would
be
along
those
lines.
H
H
B
K
B
K
A
A
C
H
C
B
C
E
C
That's
correct:
okay,
you're,
a
homeowner
or
a
business
owner.
You
can
ask
anybody,
of
course,
to
leave
at
any
time
for
whatever
reason-
and
you
know,
if
you
fail
to
comply
that
that's
when
they
could
call
law
enforcement,
we
can
place
them
on
trespass
notice
and
then,
if
they
don't
leave,
there
could
potentially
rise
to
the
level
of
a
charging
of
trespassers.
D
M
A
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All
right,
we've
had
a
motion.
Second
discussion
before
the
council
is
an
amendment
to
the
original
ordinance
which
would
put
in
the
25
civil
fine
explanation
was
that
it
would.
It
would
remove
the
having
to
go
to
the
trespassing,
which
is
up
to
a
thousand,
so
we'll
just
call
for
the
vote
at
this
time.
All
those
in
favor,
please
raise
your
hand
and
let's
talk
about
waltz
councilman
price.
The
mayor,
councilman
woman
digs
four
all
those
opposed
gregory
councilman,
gerardo
and
councilwoman
roll.
E
Yes,
just
to
reiterate
a
discussion
and
in
last
week's
meeting
I
just
want
to
stress
that
the
topic
I'm
about
to
discuss
has
to
do
with
food
establishments
and
there
is
an
executive
order
issued
by
the
state
that
is
very
eloquently
specific,
written
and
quite
lengthy
that
we
can't
ignore.
And
so
I
am
gonna
motion
to
amend
in
section
one
number,
one
establishment,
meaning
food
service
establishment
and
the
requirement
for
face
covering.
E
K
A
Very
good
we
have,
we
have
a
motion
to
remove
any
language
regarding
food
establishments
in
in
this
ordinance,
because
it's
already
covered
in
the
state
in
the
in
the
governor's
executive
order
and
it
it
doesn't,
doesn't
seem
like
to
make
sense
to
to
go
in
and
write
things
that
could
possibly
contradict
what's
written
in
the
state.
So
we
have
a
motion.
Is
there
a
second.
E
K
A
J
A
A
K
A
J
I
Correct
it
will
not
occur,
they
will,
they
would
still
have
the
ability
public
safety
has
with
that.
Just
disregard
the
fact
that
we're
talking
about
masks
if
a
restaurant
calls
public
safety
and
says
we
need
to
remove
a
patron
because
they're
being
disorderly
in
some
form
or
fashion
they're
they're,
saying
that
they
want
that
person
charged
with
trespass,
but.
K
A
A
Okay,
hearing
none!
This
is
an
amendment
to
remove
any
references
to
food
service
establishments
and
restaurants
within
the
ordinance,
and
I
would
say
to
include
that
in
the
title
might
be
appropriate
also,
so
all
right
with
that
said
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amendment.
Please
raise
your
hand,
okay
and
that's
unanimous.
A
H
H
H
The
we
we've
already
made
the
amendments
to
add
a
non-graduated
fine
of
25,
and
we
as
noted
in
the
cover
memo
we
have.
It
has
been
amended
that,
if
should
it
pass,
it
would
go
into
effect
at
12
p.m,
noon,
tomorrow,
friday
november
20th
and
be
in
effect
until
either
of
those
triggers
are
initiated
to
revoke
this
ordinance,
and
this
is
before
you
tonight
for
second
reading,
and
I
do
want
to
note-
I
know
last
time
I
put
as
part
of
my
comments.
H
H
H
A
H
O
Okay,
well,
there
are,
there
are
no
specific
metrics
that
have
been
out
there.
I'm
not
aware
of
any
around
I
just
before
I
left
work
to
come
to
this.
I
checked
with
our
central
office
and
our
consultants
and
date,
and
they
say
there's
really
nothing
out
there.
That
says:
oh
it's
safe
to
take
the
mass
off
if
we
get
below
a
certain
level
or
anything
like
that.
O
What
I
can
tell
you
is
that,
throughout
the
state,
our
percentage
of
positives
in
testing
is
between
10
and
15,
almost
every
single
day
that
we
do
testing,
which
says
to
me
that
there's
a
lot
of
there
are
a
lot
of
cases
out
there.
There
are
a
lot
of
undiagnosed
cases
out
there
and
we
are
at
risk
from
those
things.
O
O
One
individual
was
playing,
he
was
pre-symptomatic,
he
did
not
know
he
was
infected.
He
didn't
know
that
the
next
day
he
was
going
to
come
down
with
symptoms
he's
what
we
call
pre-symptomatic
and
he
played
in
a
total
of
14
of
22
players
on
on
both
sides
in
that
recreational
hockey.
Game
came
down
with
covet
19
disease
14
of
22,
because
one
pre-symptomatic
individual
was
playing
now
on
the
positive
side.
Damasks
work.
Well,
yes,
they
seem
to
work
in
missouri.
O
There
was
two
hairstylists
who
operated
their
salon
and
unbeknownst
to
them.
They
were
infected
with
kobit
19,
but
they
were
mass
wares.
They
were
very
particular
and
very
careful
in
what
they
did
and
what
they
found
was
that
in
a
hundred
they
they
took
care
of
139
clients
in
their
in
their
days
while
they
were
before
they
came
down
with
disease,
while
they
were
infected
and
infectious,
but
they
could
not
find
any.
Who
that
came
down
that
they
took
care
of
they
of
139
clients.
O
O
As
I
said,
we
don't
have
any
particular
numbers
that
say:
hey
it's
safe
to
stop
using
any
particular
level
of
infection
or
prevalence
in
the
community,
but
throughout
south
carolina
as
a
whole.
Right
now
we
are
we.
We
have
way
too
high
a
prevalence
rate
of
prevalence
of
covet
19
to
even
think
about
use
of
of
the
mass.
A
Dr
potter,
I
want
to
let
you
know:
that's
that's
five
minutes
we're
we're
doing
that
as
our
for
our
public
hearing.
I
would
like
to
if
you
don't
mind,
ask
if
there's
any
questions
for
you
as
a
speaker
before
we
let
you
go
and
and
of
course
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service
as
our
district
epidemiologist,
but
also
for
taking
time
to
to
be
with
us
for
both
of
these
meetings.
But
I
would
like
to
ask
if
there's
any
questions
for
you,
if
it's
all
right
at
this
time?
A
H
H
A
H
I
don't
have
a
positivity
rate.
I
do
know,
according
to
the
site
that
we
are
in
the
high
category,
because
our
incident
rate
per
100
000
cases
is
approximately
280
and
that
is
considered
in
the
high
range
anything
and-
and
I
could
pull
the
data
up
off
the
site,
but
anything
I
believe
greater
than
200
is
considered
high,
an
incident
rate
per
per
100
000.
B
B
H
B
H
A
H
A
P
P
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
regarding
the
regular
mask
mandate
ordinance
this
evening.
I've
had
a
week
to
reflect
on
the
conversation
of
last
meeting
regarding
this
issue.
I
cannot
support
a
regular
mask
mandate.
It
is
my
understanding
that
is.
It
was
not
a
can
city
council
that
drafted
the
ordinance,
but
the
municipal
association
of
south
carolina.
P
P
P
I
assert
that
a
hundred
thousand
is
far
too
low
if
we
are
truly
discussing
saving
lives.
If
you
would
like
to
save
324
000
lives,
let's
champion
abortion
and
end
abortion.
If
you
would
like
to
save
480
000
lives,
let's
champion
ending
the
smoking
and
smoking
entirely,
I'm
confident
that
you
have
heard
my
heard
the
phrase,
my
body,
my
choice
by
feminist
regarding
medical
autonomy.
P
I
too
say
my
body
my
choice.
If
you
choose
to
wear
a
mask,
wear
gloves
social
distance,
isolate
stay
home,
get
a
vaccination.
I
support
your
choice.
You're
free
to
choose!
If
you
choose
those
choices,
are
you
not
safe
from
the
dangers
that
I
may
pose
to
you
on
a
might
and
a
macro
sense?
Is
it
not
our
right
and
responsibility
to
defend
the
borders
of
the
united
states
on
a
micro
sense?
P
Is
it
not
the
right
and
responsibility
to
defend
my
border
to
begin
at
my
epidermis,
I'm
the
one
taking
the
risk,
but
it's
my
choice.
I
believe
in
a
sovereign
god.
I
choose
faith
over
fear.
In
fact
our
money
says
in
god.
We
trust
on
our
license.
Please
it
says
in
god
we
trust
tonight
we
had
an
invocation
in
god.
We
trust
fear
is
an
acronym
for
false
evidence
appearing
real.
I
will
choose
faith
and
freedom.
P
I
will
not
live
this.
I
will
not
live
this
gift
of
life
cowering
to
the
next
virus
or
the
next
state
of
emergency
because
of
government
overreach.
I
cannot
will
not
support
your
position
of
a
regular
mass
mandate
mandated
mass
today
mandated
vaccine
tomorrow.
I
choose
and
I
believe
that
you
should
have
the
right
to
choose.
A
Q
K
Q
See
the
news
we
know
the
numbers
you
know:
they're
rising,
whether
it's
in
our
region
on
the
southeast
east
coast
nationwide,
they're
rising
we're
not
going
to
get
away
from
that.
But
some
of
the
things
that
we
heard
I
wanted
to
just
say
that
we
are
trying
to
at
least
within
the
medical
community
to
make
a
difference.
Q
There
are
some
people
who
had
concerns
about
being
treated
differently
because
they
couldn't
wear
a
mask
so
because
of
those
types
of
comments
we
did
take
back
to
the
hospital,
we
were
doing
some
sensitivity
training
regarding
the
masking
about
when
there
is
an
issue
and
somebody
can't
wear
a
mask.
So
we
are
trying
to
be
the
leader
in
the
community
about
masking,
but
also
lead
the
way
for
sensitivity,
because
there
are
some
very
legitimate
reasons
why
one
can't
wear
the
mask
and
we
shouldn't
hold
that
against
our
neighbors
when
they
have
a
legitimate
reason.
Q
Q
You
know
before
coming
here,
I'm
reading
and
trying
to
do
some
research
and
seeing
what
the
bigger
cities
are
doing,
because
we
fortunately
aiken,
we
haven't
been
nearly
as
infected
as
other
parts
of
the
of
the
country,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
that
is
because
people
have
done
the
right
thing
and
maintain
their
distance,
washing
their
hands
not
being
in
the
crowds
wearing
the
masks
and
such
but
bigger
cities
are
being
forced
to
close
business,
they're,
not
being
forced
by
the
local
municipalities.
It's
being
forced
by
very
you
know,
larger
powers
to
be.
Q
If,
if
we
don't
make
efforts
to
try
and
slow
this
down
in
using
the
tools
that
the
experts
say,
we
should
then
you
know
we're
not
even
trying
this
way
if
we
try
and
and
and
wear
the
mask
and
have
this
ordinance
in
place.
We're
doing,
I
feel
like
the
best
way
we
can
and
I'm
speaking
from
our
medical
staff
as
well
as
administration
we'd
like
to
really
encourage
you
to
to
really
consider
that
I'll
remain
here.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
anything
that
I
can
try
and
speak
to.
R
R
R
I
don't
I
don't
see
that
anybody
else's
fear
or
is
any
of
my
concern.
I
noticed
earlier
when
I
didn't
catch.
Her
name
came
up
and
sprayed
the
lysol,
but
he
smelled
it
through
his
mask
here
and
gave
a
little
cough
there,
and
you
know
if
that
lysol
goes
through
that
mask.
What's
the
microns
on
that
mask,
if
that
goes
through
it,
why
doesn't
the
stuff
that's
coming
out
of
me?
R
Go
through
that
mask
if
you,
if
you're
at
home,
you
ever
cook
bacon
with
your
mask
on,
do
you
think
you
could
smell
the
bacon
with
your
mask
on?
What's?
What's
it
doing?
It's
not
it's
not
doing
anything.
I
I
believe
firmly
that
we're
we're
all
free
to
make
our
own
decisions.
That's
what
the
constitution
says.
Basically
it
I
mean
as
long
as
I'm
dressed
decent
and
not
exposing
myself.
I
don't
think
nobody's,
got
the
right
to
tell
nobody
what
they
need
to
wear.
R
R
I
need
to
start
carrying
papers
to
show
you
that
I
don't
need
to
wear
a
mask
that
I
can't
wear
a
mask.
That's
it
it's
it's
ugly!
It's
awful!
I
don't
think
that
anybody
and
honestly
I
I
just
don't,
really
understand
it.
I
think
that
the
the
numbers
are
blown
up.
I
believe
that
we're
the
flu
deaths
this
year
have,
I
haven't,
seen
no
numbers
for
that.
R
How
about
car
accidents
where's
all
the
numbers
for
that
it's
covent,
you
died
in
a
car
accident.
You
died
from
covid
right.
Well,
let
me
ask
this:
when
did
it
turn
from
the
coronavirus
to
a
disease?
You
got
your
medical
professional,
calling
it
a
disease.
Can
you
well?
Can
we
make
up
our
minds?
I
just
really
it's.
A
R
Yes,
sir,
so
so
what's
going
to
happen
when
our
kids
are
in
the
walmart
and
they
ain't
wearing
a
mask,
they
gonna
get
y'all
gonna
attack
y'all,
give
my
kids
the
the
mask
tax
too
yeah
I
mean
who
does
it
apply
to
how
old
do
you
have
to
be
to
get
this?
This
mask
tax,
my
fine
for
not
covering
my
face,
I
I
just
I
don't
understand
I.
R
R
A
R
S
A
S
Members,
my
name
is
rhoda
crepe.
I
live
in
maine
drive
in
aitkin
and
I
have
been
a
critical
care
nurse
emergency
room
nurse
for
a
long
time
and
I
also
have
a
degree
in
health
care
administration
and
I
served
in
the
military
as
an
air
force
nurse.
I
have
been
researching
this
mask
mandate,
a
lot
because,
like
so
many
of
you,
I
have
been
confused
by
conflicting
information
from
scientists
that
are
pro
masks
and
scientists
who
are
against
the
mask.
S
According
to
the
world
health
organization
quote
at
present,
there
is
no
direct
evidence
from
studies
on
covert
19
and
in
healthy
people
in
the
community
on
the
effectiveness
of
universal
masking
of
healthy
people
in
the
community
to
prevent
infection
with
respiratory
viruses.
End
quote
at
that
time.
World
health
organization
also
recommended
that
cloth
masks
should
only
be
used
by
infected
people
in
community
settings
and
not
for
prevention.
S
S
But
you
wouldn't
know
that
listening
to
from
watching
cable
news
claims
that
low
mass
compliance
is
responsible
for
rising
counts
are
also
not
supported
by
gallup
data,
which
show
that
the
percentage
of
americans
reported
wearing
masks
has
been
high
and
relatively
stable.
Since
june,
health
officials
and
political
leaders
have
assigned
mask
mandates
a
gravity
unsupported
by
empirical
research,
shifting
focus
away
from
mass
mandates
and
toward
the
reality
of
respiratory
viral
spread,
will
free
up
time
and
resources
to
protect
the
most
vulnerable
americans
until
the
reality
of
viral
spread
in
the
u.s
is
accepted.
S
S
A
A
S
K
U
U
I
will
cut
to
the
chase,
I'm
here
tonight
to
ask
the
city
of
aitkin
not
to
put
its
citizens
through
another
mass
mandate.
Everything
about
this
alleged
pandemic
has
been
contradictory,
lacking
any
not
any
logic
and
is
knocking
on
the
door
of
tyranny
and
that
must
not
be
allowed
if
wearing
masks
worked.
Why
are
we
here
discussing
the
need
for
another
forced
mandate
if
wearing
the
mask
did
not
work?
Why
would
we
be
forced
into
another
mandate
in
south
carolina?
U
A
licensed
medical
doctor
is
the
only
person
qualified
to
give
medical
intervention?
A
mask
is
considered
a
medical
health
intervention
because
it
affects
the
function
of
the
respiratory
system.
A
disturbance
in
the
respiratory
system
can
cause
headaches,
lightheadedness
difficulty,
communicating
fainting
and
increased
co2
levels
from
a
decrease
in
oxygen
intake
due
to
the
mask
wearing
masks,
not
only
causes
physical
health
complications.
U
None
of
them
have
been
professionally
tested
and
studied
for
effectiveness
against
the
chinese
coronavirus.
The
only
mass
that
has
been
studied,
tested
and
confirmed
effective
is
the
n95
mask
and
in
those
studies
the
n95
mask
was
professionally
fitted
and
tested
for
the
individual
mask
wearer.
Realistically,
any
paper
medical
or
cloth
face
coverings
that
are
worn
by
the
general
public,
have
been
and
will
continue
to
be
utterly
useless
and
ineffective.
U
To
block
this
virus,
why
would
the
city
of
aitkin
mandate
masks
when
the
general
public
does
not
have
access
to
a
professional
for
mask
fitting
and
testing?
Will
the
city
provide
medical
doctors
at
the
entrance
of
all
public
buildings
to
make
individual
mask
assessments?
Will
businesses
be
providing
medical
doctors
for
each
patron
to
make
recommendations?
U
In
conclusion,
having
another
mass
mandate
sets
a
very
dangerous
precedent
of
politicians
playing
medicine.
It
is
a
sign
of
public
policy
malfeasance
that
lockdowns
and
mass
mandates
are
still
being
considered.
The
mask's
effectiveness
is
unproven
at
best
and
their
costs
have
been
astronomical.
Yet
many
leaders
lack
the
courage
to
say
no.
Instead,
they
default
to
emotional
platitudes
masquerading
as
serious
and
necessary
policy.
M
M
N
N
N
People
aren't
doing
it.
I
see
people
all
the
time,
not
wearing
a
mask
and
you
can't
enforce
a
mass
mandate
and
the
science
shows
that
most
people
wear
masks
incorrectly,
that
do
wear
masks
and
that
actually
worsens
the
spread,
and
I'm
sure
you
all
know
that.
So
I
don't
understand
why
you
would
make
a
mass
mandate,
knowing
people
don't
know
how
to
wear
a
mask
or
they
don't
care
to
wear
it
correctly,
which
worsens
the
spread,
because
most
of
the
spread
is
through
contact.
It's
not
through
the
air.
N
N
What
for
something
that
kills
0.016
percent
of
people
to
me,
it's
pathetic,
because
what
are
we
supposed
to
do?
We
can't
live
in
fear
over
something
like
that
if
it
killed
20
ten
percent
of
people,
that's
a
you
know,
that's
that's
a
whole
another
story
or
even
one
percent,
one
percent's
a
huge
number,
but
0.016
percent
of
people
is
what
it
kills.
That's,
according
to
the
numbers
the
government
puts
out
and
that's
inakin.
N
A
N
But
get
everybody's
kind
of
intake
on
that,
and
you
know
you
can't
enforce
a
man.
A
mandate
was
one
of
my
points
and
it
was
kind
of
silly
to
me
watching
all
up
here
with
the
25
fine.
Instead
of
trespassing,
you,
you
understand,
that
makes
people
more
likely
to
not
wear
one,
because
they
can
go
trespass
and
and
not
get
a
trespassing
found.
I
mean
it
to
me
it's
kind
of
sad,
because
a
lot
of
americans
are
smart.
A
lot
of
americans
do
research
and
they
don't
just
sit
here
and
think.
A
D
V
V
Apparently
she
has
something
she
forgets
the
name
of
it,
but
it
causes
the
lining
of
her
lungs
to
stick
together
where
she
can't
breathe
and
can't
get
her
breath.
This
young
lady
is
16
years
old
and
she
will
probably
have
this
condition
for
the
rest
of
her
life.
So
it
is
a
serious
thing
that
we're
talking
about
today,
I'd
like
to
point
out
today
that
the
positivity
rate
in
south
carolina,
as
of
today,
has
jumped
to
17
some
of
the
midwestern
states
have
rates
above
50
percent.
V
Some
countries,
such
as
new
zealand,
vietnam,
taiwan,
australia,
have
managed
to
maintain
a
positive
positivity
rate
of
around
one
percent,
which
is
why
they
are
able
to
go
about
their
lives
in
a
normal
fashion,
and
how
do
they
do
this
with
continued
mask
wearing
with
that
said
tonight,
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
virtue
and
ethics
virtue.
Ethics
is
about
developing
good
character.
V
V
V
Our
ego
can
help
us
moderate
our
behavior,
but
it
can
also
convince
us
that
we
are
right
just
because
we
hold
a
strong
moral
belief
on
an
issue.
The
no
win
debates
we
see
on
social
media.
These
days
often
reach
a
stalemate,
because
people
are
relying
on
personal
values
rather
than
facts
and
science
in
this
case,
as
their
only
moral
compass.
V
V
V
Rules
give
us
clarity,
rules,
define
what
can
be
done
without
penalty
and
are
less
muddy
or
personal
than
virtue-based
ethics
alone.
Rules
can
also
provide
accountability,
and
we
know
that
rules
are
necessary
when
we
cannot
depend
on
people
to
practice.
Personal
responsibility,
considering
laws
and
rules
is
an
important
ethical
step.
Alongside
thinking
about
our
values
and
the
impact
of
our
actions
on
the
community,
when
weighing
consequences,
it's
useful
to
ask,
would
you
be
happy
for
your
action
to
affect
you
in
the
same
way
it
does
others
which
is
reversibility?
V
V
They
try
to
act
ethically
towards
all
groups
of
people,
not
just
the
group
they
currently
occupy,
because
they
know
circumstances
can
change
if
a
friend
were
diagnosed
with
covid19
tomorrow,
for
example,
would
we
be
happy
with
how
we
behave
today,
so
I
run
these
three
ethics
checks?
What
values
are
important
to
me?
V
V
V
I'll
do
it
fast?
What
would
my
workplace
cut
conduct
say
when
I
was
teaching
it
prioritized
care
for
others
asking
a
range
of
questions
from
all
three
ethical
angles.
Helped
me
arrive
at
an
ethically
measured
decision
that
I
should
be
consistently
wearing
a
mask
when
I
go
out-
and
I
hope
you
do
the
same,
and
I
hope
you
vote
yes
for
tonight's
measure.
Thank
you.
A
W
I
have
some
statistics
that
I
would
like
to
go
over
and
they're
concerning
to
me,
because
I've
been
a
nurse
for
well
over
40
years
and
these
things
have
gone
on
for
all
our
time.
Sure
covet
is
something
new
and
it
is
disturbing,
but
we
get
new
diseases,
new
viruses,
but
some
of
these
things
are
not
new.
W
According
to
the
statistics
which
we
don't
know
how
reliable
they
are
covered,
deaths
today
were
2.
157
623
was
a
potential
of
4
million
active
cases,
but
the
amount
that
are
recovered
from
covid
were
seven
million.
Two
hundred
and
seven
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
three
now
smoking
every
year
causes
according
to
the
cdc
more
than
four
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
deaths.
W
A
recent
john
hopkins
study
claims
that
250
people
in
the
united
states
die
every
year
from
medical
errors.
I'm
a
nurse
I've
seen
medical
errors.
I
know
what
happens
one
report
claims
numbers
could
be
as
high
as
440
000.
Medical
errors
are
the
third
leading
cause
of
death
after
heart
disease
and
cancer.
Why
aren't
they
reported
they're
not
put
on
death
certificates
and
because
they're
reported
as
human
errors,
not
medical
errors?
W
W
My
concern
is
that
we
have
our
liberties
that
we
wash
our
hands,
and
that
is
the
most
important
thing
mask,
as
I
have
known
for
all.
My
nursing
career
have
not
protected
me
any
better
than
not
wearing
a
mask,
and
I
think
everybody
has
the
right
to
determine
what
they
want
to
do.
If
they
want
to
wear
a
mask,
they
have
the
right
to
wear
a
mask.
If
they
don't,
they
should
not
be
legally
bound
by
it
and
they
certainly
should
not
be
fined,
and
I
appreciate
you
hearing
what
I
had
to
say.
Thank
you.
X
X
This
is
not
about
helping
people
taking
fines.
You
know
you
want
to
control
us
more
put
us
in
jail.
You
know
it's
better,
that
we
get
hurt
immunity
on
this
and
I
am
human.
I
need
human
touch,
human
feeling,
human
sight.
I
need
to
be
close
to
people
you're
going
to
destroy
civilization
and
society
by
separating
us
like
that,
and
then
those
that
put
out
the
race
card
saying
the
white
people
don't
suffer
enough
compared
to
other
races.
No
tom.
X
Y
And
mr
mayor
council
has
pushed
hard
and
rationalized
this
mandate
from
the
very
beginning.
I've
heard
all
kinds
of
arguments,
things
like
we
need
teeth,
it's
what
small
business
wants.
It's,
what
the
constituents
want,
it's
the
science
and
the
data
that
support
it.
It
shows
respect
for
other
people,
but
there
are
holes
in
all
these
arguments.
Y
Both
of
these
are
beyond
the
scope
of
what
the
governor's
orders
have
said.
We've
shown
you
that
no,
not
all
businesses
want
an
ordinance.
In
fact,
I
told
you
last
week
that
two-thirds
of
all
the
random
small
business
owners
that
I
polled
oppose
a
mandate
and
your
own
survey
showed
that
there
was
not
overwhelming
support
for
it.
Y
As
far
as
constituents
go
yep.
There
are
some
people
who
do
support
a
mandate,
but
we've
shown
that
this
is
also
not
across
the
board.
A
large
percentage
of
residents
oppose
it.
It
turns
out
only
about
250
people
from
aitkin
ever
signed
the
initial
petition
that
went
into
this
ordinance,
whereas
we
have
had
over
546
and
growing
in
a
very
short
time
that
oppose
it.
Y
Y
Y
We've
been
me:
we've
been
lectured
by
council
and
others
to
wear
a
mask
to
show
respect
to
others,
but
shouldn't
that
go
both
ways.
It's
mean
discriminatory
to
condemn
people
who
can't
wear
masks.
It's
equally
hateful
to
condemn
people
who
have
concluded
based
on
their
own
research.
That
masks
are
futile,
especially
when
the
legitimate
science
supports
that
all
the
rest,
all
the
rationalizations
prevented
presented
to
us
have
been
refuted.
There's
no
legitimate
reason
to
pass
this
ongoing
ordinance
and
certainly
not
to
double
down
on
it
and
make
it
even
more
restrictive
and
punishing.
Y
So
why
does
council
persist?
Why
did
it
start
in
the
first
place?
I'm
not
convinced
this
was
purely
organic.
It
seemed
odd
to
me
that
so
many
south
carolina
cities
began
instituting
these
mandates
about
the
same
time
and
that
all
the
mandates
around
the
state
had
such
similar
wording
were
they
just
copying
each
other.
No,
it
appears
that
these
cities
were
told
to
put
in
mandates
by
a
left-leaning
group
called
the
municipal
association
of
south
carolina,
who
strongly
recommends
that
we
and
other
cities
make
and
keep
mandates.
Y
Y
Y
Y
A
A
The
reputation
is
okay.
Well,
and
I
am
I
mean,
let
me
just
say
I'm
second
vice
chair
of
that
organization
and
it
and
it
does
work
to
help
of
the
291
cities
that
we
have.
It
does
help
there's
a
lot
of
the
smaller
cities.
Don't
have
the
stuart,
beatonvo
or
city
administrator,
so
we
have
roaming
city
administrators.
We
have
a
lot
of
services
that
we're
able
to
offer
them.
For
us.
Economic
development
might
be
a
bridge
some
firestone,
but
for
a
smaller
town
it
might
be
getting
a
sub
subway
in
with
a
gas
station.
A
Y
Okay,
well,
you
know
everybody's
free
to
look
it
up
themselves
and
investigate
it
themselves,
and
hopefully
everybody
can
draw
their
own
conclusions
from
that
and
we
do
hope,
as
a
group
and
as
citizens
in
this
can
in
the
city
that
we're
wrong
about
it
and
that
you
know
nothing.
Odd,
has
happened
and
every
all
the
ethics
are
on
board
and
this
and
other
ways
all.
J

Okay,
well
y'all
may
just
you
know,
as
I
may
want
to
clarify
this
with
your
constituents,
because
there
is
a
great
misunderstanding.
Then,
if
that's
the
case,
because
we've
been
told
by
people
who
would
know
that
this
is
the
case
and
we
take
their
word
for
it
as
people
that
are
elected
in
our
county
and
city.
So.
N
Y
Please
don't
misunderstand
me:
I'm
not
trying
to
insult
anyone
or
call
the
group
a
bad
group
or
anything
like
that.
I'm
trying
to
give
a
brief
explanation
of
what
the
perceived
function
or
one
of
the
perceived
functions
of
the
group
is
that's
my
knowledge
and
best
to
public
knowledge,
and
you
know
if
I'm
wrong,
then
I'm
wrong
and
I
apologize.

In
new
york,
where
somebody
had
collapsed
with
the
and
she
said
it
was
because
of
covet
and
her
lung
tissue
is
sticking
together
and
I'm
not
a
doctor,
but
I
have
heard
of
I
mean
if
she
lives
in
new
york
city
they've
been
wearing
masks
for
at
least
seven
months,
and
this
is
these.
These
are
medical.
There
are
medical
issues
that
can
arise
from
prolonged
mask.
Wearing
one
of
them
is
pleurisy,
I
don't
know.
If
that's
what
it
is,
she
would
need
a
doctor
and
look
it
up
see
if
it
matches.
AA
I
mean
I'm
just
saying:
there's
no
saying
that
it's
definitely
coveted,
you
know,
contribute
attributable
covet,
it
could
be
attributable
to
prolonged
mask
wearing,
which
is
one
of
the
things
that
a
lot
of
us
have
tried
to
bring
up.
I
think,
last
week
we
tried
to
bring
up
the
fact
that
there
are
risks
for
prolonged
mask
wearing
and
we
may
start
to
see
them
after
the
society
has
been
masked
for
so
long
and
it's
not
necessarily
when
you
wear
it
for
15
minutes,
go
to
the
store,
take
it
off
again.
AA
It's
the
you
know,
people
that
are
required
to
wear
them
for
long
hours
when
they
work
and
such
I
wanted
to
talk
briefly
about
a
lot
of
the
public
comments
that
you're
getting
about.
The
people
that
are
supporting
this
mandate
are
people
that
I
really
think
they're
misinformed
and
it's
not
their
fault,
it's
the
media's
fault
for
giving
misinformation
and
not
showing
the
whole
picture.
AA
They
have
sensationalized
this
thing
so
that
you
would
think
that
everybody
in
america
is
dying.
I
mean,
if
you
see
the
charts
where
they
think
that
a
lot
of
them
think
that
deaths
are
on
the
rise,
and
that's
I
mean
it
may
be
the
case
in
some
parts
of
america,
but
certainly
it's
not
here
I
mean
I
believe
like,
for
example,
at
aitkin
regional
last
week
there
were
eight
coveted
patients,
and
I
think,
as
of
today,
there
are
seven
and
I
may
be
wrong.
I
don't
know
where
he
is,
but.
AA
AA
You
know,
in
fact
we
talk
about
cases,
I
mean
there's.
So
many
inconsistencies
with
that,
but
cases
actually
rose
inakin
after
the
mandate
was
put
in
place.
If
you
look
at
july,
that's
when
things
were
bad
and
then
they've
kind
of
dropped
back
off
again
they
may
be
going
up
a
little
slightly.
I
don't
know,
but
as
far
as
to
have
it
be
this,
this
major
fear
or
this
fear
of
oh,
maybe
you
know,
there's
flu
and
they
might
get
fluent
covet.
I
think
that
one
person
in
the
united
states
has
had
that.

Debbie
good
evening,
mr
mayor
members
of
council,
my
name
is
debbie
roland
and
I
live
at
115,
idaho,
wild
drive
in
aitkin
29803.
I
came
before
you
at
your
last
meeting
and
I
had
a
prepared
little
speech.
I
had
I'm
just
kind
of
winging
it
tonight.
So
forgive
me
if
it
sounds
a
little
rough.
I
had
been
asked
to
present
something
from
someone
that
had
some
fear
in
coming
forward.
AB
Last
week,
when
I
spoke,
I
spoke
about
the
division
that
this
is
causing
in
our
city.
I
spoke
about
fear.
I
spoke
about
intimidation.
I
spoke
about
the
fact
that
people
are
being
shamed
and
bullied.
I,
the
person
that
had
wanted
this
presented
is
presenting
a
study.
I
have
a
copy
that
I
can
give
to
the
clerk.
AB
I
think
it's
the
same
danish
study
that
was
mentioned
by
other
people.
I
can.
I
have
copies
of
the
conclusion
for
you
and
I
can
read
it
to
you.
The
recommendation
to
wear
surgical
masks
to
supplement
other
public
health
measures
did
not
reduce
the
sars
covered
infection
rate
among
wearers
by
more
than
50
percent
in
a
community
with
modest
infection
rates.
Some
degree
of
social,
distancing
and
uncommon
general
mask
use.
The
data
were
compatible
with
lesser
degrees
of
self-protection.
AB
AB
AB
AB
He
he
says
we
are
mortal.
This
virus
has
caused
some
to
realize
this.
However,
there
is
a
99.4
percent
survivability.
The
studies
so
far
have
shown
negligible
difference
between
mask
and
no
mask
mental
health
implications
are
not
fully
understood,
but
long-term
mask
use
has
caused
increases
in
anxiety
in
depression
and
claustrophobia
in
the
community.
Organizations
like
the
world
health
organization
only
recommends
masking
the
sick.
I
think
that's
what
a
lot
of
our
constituents
have
been
asking.
The
cdc
has
flip-flopped
and
most
recently
said,
full-time
mask
use
is
not
recommended.
AB
This
needs
to
be
about
choice.
Let
individuals
and
businesses
make
their
own
decisions
and
do
not
make
it
into
a
comply
or
else
issues,
and
this
is
where
I'm
going
to
add
my
own
comments
here.
I
have
said
from
the
beginning
of
this
to
others
that
I
believe
that
this
these
mask
mandates
are
purely
an
exercise
in
compliance.
AB
AB
Did
you
take
those
masks
out
of
your
purses?
Ladies,
are
there
are,
were
they
sterile
before
you
put
them
on
your
face?
Have
any
of
you
touch
them?
This
all
totally
negates
what
anything
would
even
possibly
be
a
benefit
to
you.
I
think
the
fines
that
you
are
now
opposing
that
goes
beyond
the
governor's
mandate
are
overreach.
AB
Adding
in
retail
and
commercial
establishments
are
overreach.
I
don't
understand
when
what
I
heard
at
the
last
meeting
was
that
you
were
trying
to
follow
the
governor's
mandate.
This
is
why
you
were
doing
it,
so
you
would
be
compliant
with
the
governor.
However,
you're
going
beyond
what
the
governor
has
mandated
these
fines
that
you're
imposing
is
just
going
to
cost
more
division
and
unrest.
I
don't
think
any
of
us
want
that
for
our
city,
we're
we're
promoting.
Yes,
I'm
part
of
the
aiken
citizens
for
freedom
group.
We
we
are
promoting
unity.
AB
We
are
promoting
people
getting
along
these
masks.
It's
not
helping
that.
Lastly,
I'd
like
to
end
with
comments
that
I
was
given
that
were
attached
to
the
petition
I'll
quickly
run
through
as
many
as
I
can
read
for
the
sake
of
time
wearing
a
mask
makes
me
sick
and
cough
like
crazy.
I
have
been
wearing
these
masks
for
far
too
long
at
work.
Standing
behind
a
chair
and
trying
to
blow
someone
dry,
someone's
hair
with
a
mask
on
is
awful.
AB
I
have
almost
passed
out
many
times
mask
wearing
is
dangerous
for
people
with
compromised
lung
function,
cloth,
masks,
trap,
carbon
dioxide
and
risk
health
masks
are
effective
at
tracking
the
bacteria
that
your
body
is
trying
to
eliminate
and
reintroducing
it
to
your
lungs,
increasing
your
chance
of
respiratory
illness.
The
mask
is
causing
some
people
to
have
severe
anxiety
due
to
feeling
closed
in
this
means
they
are
staying
home
and
not
able
to
go
out
in
public.
I
have
medical
problems
preventing
me
from
wearing
a
mask.
AB
I
used
to
go
into
aitkin
to
get
items
I
needed.
Now.
I
go
to
north
augusta
at
one
of
the
real
estate
companies
in
aitkin.
I've
lost
customers
because
of
having
to
conform
with
the
mandate.
Customers
cannot
enter
my
place
of
business
without
a
mask
on
and
if
they
do,
the
mandate
isn't
clear
enough
that
the
city
will
order
will
not
punish
me
for
allowing
it.

Dr
fauci
did
a
study
on
the
spanish
flu
from
1915-1918
and
he
wanted
to
find
out
if
masks
were
safe.
You
know
what
he
discovered.
He
discovered
that
80
of
the
people
that
died
from
the
spanish
flu
didn't
die
from
spanish
flu.
They
died
because
they
got
bacterial
pneumonia
from
the
masks,
and
that
was
a
peer-reviewed
study
he
published.

Flying

highlighted
pertinent
parts
there
on
page
six,
where
the
u.s
navy's
recommendation,
where
they
were
investigating
and
research
articles
and
research
that
have
been
done
for
nanoparticle.
You
understand
that
viruses
covid19
virus
particle
is
a
nanoparticle.
It's
to
three
hundred,
maybe
four
hundred
nano
meters
in
diameter.
That's
a
physical
parameter.
AD
AD
It
says
the
authors
concluded
that
the
non-niosh
approved
dust
masks
that
would
be
known
about
everybody's
got
on
should
not
be
used
in
workplaces
for
respiratory
protection
against
inhalation
hazards,
because
the
level
of
protection
they
provide
cannot
be
ass,
assured
assured,
as
evidenced
by
the
large
variability
and
filtration
performance.
Even
more
importantly,
the
authors
emphasize
that
users
of
the
dust
mass
should
be
warned
against
wearing
them
for
protection
against
nanoparticles.
AD
The
one
interesting
thing
about
the
report,
which
is
reference
14,
I
think,
is
they
were
testing
the
filtration
of
the
mask.
Not
the
air
gaps
around
it.
The
path
of
leaf
resistance
is
where
the
nanoparticles
are
going
to
go.
The
virus
particles
are
going
to
take
the
path
at
least
resistance
and
and
your
if
it's
not
an
airtight
seal
around
your
face,
which,
if
you
can
breathe
it's
not
airtight
seal
all
right,
then
the
effectiveness
is
even
not
what
the
reports
say,
which
the
report
says:
hey
you
got
55
and
70
percent
effectiveness.
AD
It.
The
report
says
hey.
If
you
want
effectiveness,
you
need
to
be
wearing
a
mask
like
this
at
a
minimum
with
a
99
filtration
on
here.
These
are
a
few
hundred
dollars,
not
the
cheap
mass
that
you're
wearing
so
it
it
came
to
me
of
where.
How
did
we
get
to
this
point
and
and
that's
what
I
really
wanted
to
go
into
a
little
bit
dang
it
that
took
longer
than
I
thought?
Okay,
so
I
already
sent
you
all
the
email,
but
I
wanted
to.
AD
I
wanted
to
highlight
it
for
you
from
the
perspective
of
nanoparticle
physics,
mass,
don't
work
in
or
out
the
particles
are
going
to
go
where
they
want
when
they
want
how
they
want,
but
you're,
not
interested
in
the
science.
I
get
that
from
the
perspective
of
medical
science,
the
mask
increased
the
probability
of
bacterial
respiratory
infections.
We
already
heard
testimony
about
that.
AD
There's
no
physical
or
medical
science
basis
requiring
the
mass.
So
where
did
this
come
from?
Well
go
back
to
earlier
this
year.
Whenever
the
hey,
this
new
virus
is
out,
we
don't
know
what
it
is.
We
don't
know
what
stops
it.
We
don't
know
where
not
sure
where
it
came
from
wuhan
and
so
science
goes
to
politicians
and
go
hey.
We
need
to
tell
the
public
well,
what
do
we
tell
them?

one
last

I'm

talk
about
how
I
feel
about
it
better
die
free
than
live
as
a

die
with
honor
rather
than

I
will

My

give
me
liberty
or
give
me
death
throughout

There
have
been
intangible
values
that
are
worth
more
than
life
itself.
We
see
this
in
times
and
cultures
around
the
world
living
in
this
covid

AE
Human
life
has
always
had
risks
of
death,
injury
or
suffering,
but
it's
balanced
by
the
great
joy
and
happiness
and
love
that
comes
out
of
both
bad
and
good
interactions.
With
those
around
us.
We
each
make
our
own
choices
as
how
much
risk
we're
willing
to
accept
skydiving,
not
for
me
being
around
people
who
may
or
may
not
have
coveted
a
virus
with
a
high
recovery
rate
rate
99.
AE
I
consider
that
a
reasonable
risk
others
hold
to
a
different
level
of
risk
and
a
different
philosophy
of
life.
The
marvelous
thing
about
america
is
that
all
our
different
ideas
about
faith,
our
life
philosophy,
our
associations
with
people,
has
always
been
respected
and
encouraged.
We
live
together
and
respect
the
others
ideas
without
forcing
ours
on
them.
AE
AE
AE
Due
to
to
your
laws,
we
are
being
bullied
by
our
own
elected
officials

are
supposed
to
protect
our
liberties,
who
are
supposed
to
protect
our

Our
our
livelihood,
our
businesses
by

should
not
be
a
frantic
effort
to
avoid
all
risks
of
death.
This
is
impossible.
I
mean
you've
heard
all
the

all
the
other
types
of
death
out

but
rather
the
reasonable
weighing

I'd
like
to
speak
out
against
the
mask
mandate
or
the
proposed
new
mask
mandate,
which
all
are
hopefully
not
decided
on
doing
without
giving
things
a
fair
shake
tonight.
But
we
all
know
that
we're
living
in
unprecedented
times,
information
about
the
novel
coronavirus
is
often
unknown
or
it
changes
quickly.
AF
According
to
current
accepted
health
standards
below
their
nose
around
their
neck
ill-fitted
or
a
mask
design,
that's
insufficient
and
believe
everyone
here
has
witnessed
that.
How
many
times
have
you
touched
it?
It's
a
petri
dish
of
this.
It's
a
sanitation
nightmare
in
the
restaurant
business,
but
because
of
the
mask
mandate,
it
offers
the
appearance
of
greater
safety,
regardless
of
whether
it
is
being
effectively
followed.
Businesses
have
not
been
incentivized
to
create
safer
environments
for
vulnerable
individuals
by
offering
them
an
experience
in
which
they're
protected.
AF
This
creates
a
problem
for
those
individuals
that
do
care
about
such
mandates
and
wear
their
mask
properly,
they're
exposed
to
these
poorly
masked
individuals
and
increase
their
chances
of
infection.
The
mask
mandates
then,
to
not
create
environments
that
are
reasonable
or
reasonably
more
secure
for
these
vulnerable
people
than
if
the
mandates
did
not
exist.
In
the
first
place,
the
mask
advisory
is
the
mask.
Advisory
is
a
more
effective
solution.
AF
This
also
gives
stores
the
option
of
having
a
mask
free
set
of
hours
so
that
those
that
cannot
or
will
not
wear
masks
can
enter
the
business
without
offending
others
instead
of
shopping.
At
the
same
time
as
those
who
desire
mass
to
be
worn,
businesses
would
be
under
no
obligation
to
to
serve
non-masked
individuals,
nor
would
stores
be
required
it's
up
to
each
individual
in
each
business,
all
of
whom
want
to
protect
their
own
safety
and
the
safety
of
the
community
where
they
conduct
business
to
make
their
own
risk
assessment.
AF

So
one
of
the
amendments
that
we've
made
to
this
was
to
remove
I'll,
just
read
it
to
remove
all
references
to
food
service
and
establishments
and
restaurants
within
our
ordinance.
But
I'm
just
curious
most
of
what
what
you
feel
with
yours
is
that
is
that
from
dhec
in
the
state,
more
so
than
the
local.
A
Said
outside
so
so,
so
we
made
a
minute
to
remove
any
reference
to
food
service
establishments
or
restaurants
from
our
mask
ordinance.
Now
it
doesn't
mean
it
does
obviously
de-heck
or
the
state
the
the
governor's
executive
order
obviously
will
take
pres
president,
but
so
we're
not
dealing
with
anything
addressing
any
food
service
or
restaurant
within
our
ordinance.
We
we
removed
that
earlier.
A
AF

AG

I've
dealt
with
some
of
the
most
deadly
crazy
biochemical,
hazardous
materials
that
are
known
in
the
civilian
world
and
some
in
the
military
mass
don't
work
for
the
last
75
years.
Cloth
mass
in
the
fire
service
does
not
block
smoke.
Particles.
Smoke
particles
are
like
driving
a
bus
through
the
middle
of
this
door
compared
to
a
virus.
AG
AG
AG
AG
Creates
hazards,
creates
possible
pneumonia
disease
so
on
and
so
forth,
causes
more
problems
in
the
medical
world
you're
to
in
the
in
managing
crisis,
you're,
to
help
people
and
you're
to
mitigate
crisis,
not
cause
more
damage,
okay
in
the
relationships
with
businesses
and
their
their
patrons
their
their
clients
in
our
community.
It's
about
relationships,
it's
about
trust
and
having
an
iron
fist
with
a
mask,
is
doing
more
damage
when
it's
obviously
been
proven
that
it
doesn't
work
as
well.
Okay,
99
of
the
people
out
there
do
it
wrong.
The
cloth
master
stated
on
the
box.
AG
These
do
not
prevent
kovid
19
and
that's
that's
testing.
Okay,
but
when
you
go
back
to
relationships
with
people
that
trust
is
being
lost,
I
don't
feel
that
that
and
a
lot
of
my
clients
don't
feel
that
the
mass
mandates
are
helping
them
they're,
crushing
them.
Their
business
has
gone
out
of
business
they're
going
under
they're
struggling.
AG
AG
AG
Workers
back
in
the
day
extreme
heat
over
140
degrees.
They
can
only
work
for
20
minutes,
they
would
cycle
those
people
out
and
bring
two
people
back
in.
There
are
other
options
than
a
mass
man,
but
a
manvastate
is
wrong
and
it's
obviously
wrong.
So
please
choose
wisely
you're,
crushing
relationships
and
the
trust
is
being
lost.
Thanks.

AH
There
have
been
statistics,
there
has
been
things
proven
to
you
from
these
people
that
have
come
up
here
and
did
a
lot
of
research
and
spent
a
lot
of
time
to
speak.
To
you,
my
son
is
nine
years
old.
He
has
to
wear
a
mask.
He
cannot
see
very
well
so
when
he
tries
to
wear
his
glasses
they
fog
up.
This
may
not
be
a
big
deal
to
you
guys,
but
to
my
nine-year-old
who
comes
home
with
a
migraine,
it
means
something
to
him.
AH
AH
AH
Explain
that
to
me
that
my
family,
that
my
aunt
and
my
uncle
that
I
loved
and
were
as
dear
to
me
as
my
own
mother
and
father,
did
not
get
to
say
goodbye
to
him
because
of
these
ridiculous
mandates
that
you
people
are
making
us
do
my
aunt.
Louise
did
not
get
to
say
goodbye
to
her
husband
because
of
these
mandates.
AH
AH
I
will
wear
that
mask
if
that
is
a
law
or
a
mandate.
Excuse
me,
because
that
is
the
person
I
am
my
morals.
Just
like
that
woman
was
talking
about
my
ethics.
I
will
teach
my
children,
because
I
will
not
waste
a
police
officer's
time
to
come
in
because
I
don't
have
a
mass,
but
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
am
praying
that
you
make
the
right
choice
that
you
listen
to
all
of
this
evidence
we
can't
even
under
we
couldn't
even
understand
you
out
there.
K
AH
AH
You
are
causing
division
in
a
country
that
is
already
divided.
My
children
are
going
to
grow
up
in
this.
Are
you
kidding
me
now?
I'm
just
a
stay-at-home
mom
with
the
farm
and
thank
god
I
get
to
stay
home
most
of
the
time
and
I'll
have
to
come
out
and
deal
with
these
people.
But
I'ma
tell
you
something
happened
to
me
real
quick.
What
happened
to
me
when
these
first
went
into
town,
okay
or
went
into
mandate
when
these
first
happened?
AH
AH
You
know
a
handkerchief
and
I
put
it
over
my
face
and
I
come
in,
and
the
woman
at
the
desk,
screams
and
embarrasses
me
and
tells
me
to
get
out
of
her
store
that
you
have
to
have
a
proper
mask
on
and
do
you
know
what
she
did
when
I
checked
out
when
I
told
her
to
have
a
good
day,
she
chased
me
out
of
the
dollar
general
and
snatched
my
bags
out
of
my
hands
and
threw
my
items
across
the
floor.
That
is
what
you
are
doing
to
us.
T
A
You
know
I'm
sorry,
I
mean
that
that's
almost
startled
me
man,
oh
yeah,
I'll,
recognize
you
when
you
want
to
speak,
I'm
sorry,
no!
It's
so
different
because
everybody's,
not
in
here
you
didn't
know
but
yeah.
So
if
you
want
to
speak,
raise
your
hand
I'll
definitely
recognize
you
but
welcome
good
good
evening.
Thank
you.
T
My
friend
sword
mcmillan-
and
I
were
talking
about
coming
to
meeting,
to
talk
about
the
mask
mandate
that
you're
proposing
to
reenact,
and
I
have
enjoyed
my
last
three
days
of
freedom
from
this
mandate,
but
I
wanted
to
read
the
letter
to
the
editor
that
soren
submitted.
I
don't
know
if
it
made
it
to
the
papers
yet,
but
I
wanted
to
read
it
to
you.
T
The
preamble
to
the
declaration
of
independence
begins
with
the
words
we
hold
these
truths
to
be
self-evident.
Self-Evident
truths
require
no
explanation
in
the
coveted
phenomenon
of
2020.
There
are
self-evident
truths
that
have
been
overlooked
by
our
culture
and
these
the
truth
that
we
misplace
at
our
peril.
T
T
Like
a
constant
barrage
of
information.
Often
self-contradictory
like
stop.
Buying
masks,
wear
a
mask
only
within
six
feet
of
others
or
wear
a
mask
inside,
but
not
outside,
wear
masks
everywhere
in
public
regular
appeals
to
authority
which
violate
elementary
logic.
Like
the
man
wearing
the
white
coat
cannot
be
wrong.
The
attitude
of
the
public
health
bureaucracy
toward
the
public
is
now
reduced
to
dr
fauci's
directive.
T
Do
what
I
told
you
do
what
you're
told
to
do
the
fact
that
many
reading
this
are
more
comfortable
with
just
doing
what
they
are
told
than
critically
thinking
for
themselves
is
an
indicator
not
of
a
thriving
society,
but
one
of
the
intellectual
decline
it
is.
It
is
self-evident
that
a
society
thrives
when
individuals
take
primary
responsibility
for
their
own
well-being.
T
It
is
ideal
when
people
can
make
their
own
living
and
provide
for
their
basic
necessities,
including
physical
health.
However
missing
today
is,
however,
missing.
Today
is
encouragement
to
individuals
to
take
initiative
to
strengthen
themselves
against
covid,
naturally
through
eating
healthy
food
and
engaging
in
regular
exercise.
This
parallels
a
silent
message.
You
can
to
often
pick
up
from
conventional
medicine.
I
don't
expect
you
to
change
your
lifestyle.
There's
a
pill
to
fix
this
fix
your
problem.
T
Our
society
will
continue
to
struggle
with
contagions
viral
infections,
bacterial
infections
etc.
However,
for
the
vast
majority
of
contagions,
you
have
the
power
within
you
to
achieve
health.
Health
through
healthy
practices,
corporate
interests,
big
pharma
and
too
many
government
officials,
don't
want
you
being
independently
healthy.
However,
you
can
achieve
health
freedom.
It
is
self-evident
that
you
can
win
by
taking
responsibility
for
yourself.

So
finally,
I
got
to
go
in
and
be
with
my
mother
and
it
was
really
very
intriguing.
I've
learned
to
actually
watch
to
see
what's
going
on
and
so
the
nurse
walked
in
and
I
asked
her.
Can
you
tell
me
who
is
in
your
hospital
right
now
and
she
said?
Oh,
it's
covid.
It's
almost
all
coveted
patients
and
I
said
how
is
that
affecting
you?
She
said
it's
amazing,
the
therapeutics
we
have
now
it's
not
like.
It
was
back
in
march.
She
said
we're.
Actually.
Z
Z
Z
Z
I
think
it's
like
when
dr
burke
went
to
alabama
to
see
test
the
people
to
see
how
they
were
feeling
and
she
went
to
this
little
old
lady's
house,
and
she
said
I'm
gonna
give
you
till
december.
We
ain't
doing
it
after
that
and
that's
how
we're
all
feeling
now.
I
know
it's
kind
of
crazy,
but
we're
kind
of
feeling
that
way
now,
because
nothing
the
puzzle
doesn't
fit.
Z
It's
not
fitting.
The
narrative
is
not
fitting
and
we're
saying
how
can
this
be
true
if
we
were
in
a
real
pandemic,
my
behind
would
be
at
home,
and
yours
would
too
we
wouldn't
be
in
this
building
and
by
the
way,
next
time
we
have
a
meeting.
Could
you
all
send
us
some
chairs
outside,
so
we
can
sit
because
we
had
to
stand
for
long
periods
of
time
that
was
kind
of
hard.
G
Good
evening,
council,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
My
name
is
naomi
bowles
and
I'm
a
wife
to
a
local
army,
veteran
and
mother
of
two
children.
I
love
this
city.
Aiken
is
the
center
of
my
everyday
life.
It
is
where
I
shop
for
groceries
and
necessities,
and
it's
where
I
bring
my
children
for
all
of
their
homeschool
and
social
activities.
It's
where
we
attend
church
events,
it's
where
we
support
your
local
businesses.
G
I
am
here
to
respectfully
implore
you
not
to
pass
this
ordinance
and
to
share
why
I
am
requesting
this
first
healthy
and
asymptomatic.
People
do
not
transmit
covet
and
they
do
not
need
masks.
You
do
not
need
the
masks
that
you
are
wearing
right
now.
This
was
a
contested
topic,
but
has
since
been
widely
agreed
upon,
including
by
the
world
health
organization,
which
stated
in
june
of
this
year
that
asymptomatic
carriers
do
not
transmit
coven
19..
G
A
study
was
also
published
in
the
national
library
of
medicine
in
august
of
2020
that
exposed
455
people
to
an
asymptomatic,
positive
covid19
carrier
for
four
days,
and
not
one
of
those
455
people
developed
coven
19..
Any
of
the
studies
that
I
list
here
I
would
be
happy
to
email
all
of
you
directly
if
you
would
be
willing
to
read
them.
G
G
G
The
same
research
study
from
the
european
journal
of
medical
research
also
shows
that
a
mask
is
ineffective
if
it
does
not
fit
airtight
to
your
skin,
which
usually
only
occurs
with
a
personally
fitted
n95
respirator,
which
none
of
us
are
wearing
an
n95
mask
screens
down
to
the
size
of
0.3
microns
covid19
generally
ranges
in
size
from
.05
to
0.2
microns,
based
on
these
measurements.
The
virus
can
pass
through
even
the
best
masks,
with
the
perfect
airtight
fit
with
proper
usage
that
most
people
aren't
doing.
G
Considering
that
covet
is
smaller
in
size
than
the
flu
virus.
It
is
important
to
note
recent
research
released
by
the
cdc
itself
in
may
of
2020
when
they
examined
10
different
randomized
controlled
trials
in
which
they
found,
and
I
quote,
no
significant
reduction
in
influenza
transmission
with
the
use
of
face
masks.
End
quote:
if
masks
are
ineffective
in
stopping
the
spread
of
the
flu,
they
are
likely
just
as
ineffective
at
preventing
the
spread
of
cobit
19..
G
These
are
only
a
very
small
portion
of
the
studies
that
I
agonized
over
for
hours
today,
trying
to
choose
which
to
present
to
you
to
convince
you
to
hear
me
to
hear
us.
We
need
for
you
to
understand
how
important
this
is
to
so
many
of
us.
On
a
more
personal
note,
I
would
like
to
end
with
sharing
that
I
am
a
survivor
of
domestic
violence.
I
was
once
smothered
by
someone
that
I
loved
to
this
day.
G
I
cannot
have
anything
over
my
face
without
experiencing
panic
to
a
degree
that
I
cannot
explain
to
you
in
words.
I
don't
wear
the
mask.
I
can't
wear
the
mask,
but
I'm
here
tonight,
because
that
is
how
important
this
is
to
me.
I
am
severely
introverted
and
I
am
shaking
right
now.
I
am
not
a
public
speaker.
I
have
never
done
anything
like
this
before
in
my
life,
but
I
am
here
because
that
is
how
important
this
is
to
me.
G
G
G
G
Please
use
this
to
set
a
precedent
of
our
own
one
of
faith
and
freedom.
This
virus
has
a
recovery
rate
of
well
over
99.
Please
don't
destroy
the
economy
in
the
legacy
of
this
town
by
enforcing
an
unproven
safety
measure
that
is
quite
literally
hurting
more
people
and
places
of
business
than
it
is
helping.

AJ
My
name
is
david
curlin.
I
live
at
106
ridge,
moore
drive,
and
I
would
actually
like
to
thank
that
young
lady
for
coming
in
here
and
speaking,
took
a
lot
of
courage
for
somebody
young
like
that
to
come
and
speak
her
mind.
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
that's
only
two
people
all
night
that
have
come
in
here
to
say:
let's
do
this
two.
AJ
A
AK
The
dirty
pool
that
you
played
tonight
by
closing
off
these
seats-
you
didn't
do
it
last
week,
you
let
people
in
last
week.
You
stuffed
us
out
in
that
hallway
standing
for
hours.
Many
of
us
standing
out
there
to
come
in
here
and
tell
you
what
we
felt
about
this.
We
care
the
people
that
want
to
wear
the
mask.
They
don't
care
they're
going
to
wear
them,
so
leave
us
alone.
AK
AK
You
want
to
make
a
law
to
charge
me
money
off
of
what
seems
to
help.
Does
that
make
any
sense
to
you?
It
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me
we're
not
talking
about
science.
We're
talking
about
fear.
This
is
all
about
fear.
Right.
People
are
scared.
I
get
that
wear
your
mask
if
you're
scared
stay
home,
if
you're
that
scared-
I'm
not
scared,
I
don't.
I
don't
think
I'm
gonna
get
coveted,
I
might
get
covet,
it's
real.
I
believe
it's
out
there,
but
I'm
not
scared,
I'm
healthy.
AK
If
you
really
want
to
protect
the
citizens,
the
vulnerable
mandate
that
we
all
eat
healthy,
that
we
exercise
that
we
jog
we
go
to
odell
weeks.
We
use
the
wonderful
things.
Why
don't
we
do
that?
Let's
ban
all
that
fried
food
out
there
in
all
these
restaurants,
vulnerable
people
typically
are
very
elderly
or
have
bad
eating
and
diet
habits,
heart
disease
things
like
that!
That's
what
makes
them
vulnerable.
AK
Let's
attack
that
not
the
mask
you've
heard
the
people
come
in
here
and
say
how
dangerous
mass
can
be
for
certain
people,
a
poor
woman
who
went
through
trauma
and
you're
gonna
find
her
you're
driving
her
out
of
the
city.
You
are
driving
her
out
of
this
city
because
you
want
to
find
us.
You
want
to
make
this
a
law.
AK
Why
don't
you
step
back
and
say
the
city
of
aitkin
highly
recommends
everybody
wear
masks,
I'm
on
board.
That
shows
you
care.
You
had
two
citizens
come
in
here
tonight
to
say
I
want
to
wear
the
mask.
Well,
you
had
a
hundred
of
them
lined
up
they're,
saying
they
don't
want
to
be
mandated
to
wear
a
mask
under
a
penalty
of
money,
real
money
that
first
man
that
came
in
here
that
bless
his
heart
from
windsor.
Just
a
regular
guy
doesn't
live
in
a
city
vacant,
but
he
works
here.
Did
you
hear
what
he
said?
AK
I
will
lose
my
job.
That
is
real.
He
had
a
wife
and
three
kids
sitting
out
there
waiting
on
him.
He
said
he
will
lose
his
job
because
his
business
that
he
doesn't
own
he
works
at
is
going
to
be
forced
to
wear
a
mask
or
they
get
fined
or
the
business
owner
gets
fined.
They're
not
going
to
take
a
chance
on
employee,
like
him
he's
just
a
guy
from
windsor
they'll.
Let
him
go
now
him
and
his
three
kids
got
nothing,
because
you
want
to
find
us
or
businesses
for
not
wearing
a
mask.
AK
AK
I'm
telling
you
don't
make
this
a
mandate
that
is
punishable
by
a
fine
to
the
business
to
the
people.
Come
on,
don't
be
sold
on
that
recommend.
It
say
it's
a
great
idea.
Every
one
of
us
wants
to
do
that.
That's
fine
with
me!
That's
fine
with
us,
but
the
people
who
cared
showed
up
tonight,
they've
emailed
you
every
time.
You've
had
this
the
people
that
care
show
up
in
greater
numbers.
They
speak.
AK
The
one
man
tonight
says
one
of
the
most
important
things
and
it
ought
to
scare
every
one
of
you.
If
you
can
tell
us
for
public
safety
and
health
measures,
we
have
to
wear
a
mask,
then
you
can
tell
us
we
have
to
get
a
vaccine
and
if
you
don't
believe
that
you
can
go
there
and
if
you
don't
fear
that
you
might
go
there,
then
I
fear
you.
AK
J
AL
AL
AL
I
travel
all
over
the
country,
and
I
was
in
texas,
give
you
a
short.
I
was
in
texas
last
week,
small
town.
They
were
going
through
the
same
thing
I
showed
up
for
for
the
council.
After
about
15
people,
chambers
said
hey,
we
motioned
to
vote,
they
voted
it
down.
It's
the
responsibility
of
the
people
and
I
hope
you
guys
would
say
the
same
thing.
Where
do
y'all
come
off
of
saying,
I'm
going
to
mandate,
carl
withers
leslie
price
has
to
wear
a
mask,
it's
your
responsibility,
not
mine,
and
she
gets
up
and
walks
out.
AL
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry
sorry
about
that,
but
I
I'm
I'm
just
it's
it
just
frustrates
me.
I
love
this
town.
I
love
the
city,
we're
hurting
the
local
businesses.
What
about
the
the
mom
and
most
families
have
the
father
and
mother
work
or
what
have
you?
And
what
about
the
mother?
That
has
has
a
little
johnny
here
that
has
he's
in
the
second
or
third
grade,
and
now
she's
got
to
stay
home
from
work
to
take
care
of
him
because
daycares
are
close
will
be
closing
down
because
of
y'all's
mandate.
AL
AL
AL
AL
For
you
guys,
hopefully
y'all
have
not
made
a
decision.
You
know.
Hopefully,
y'all
have
listened
to
the
folks
that
have
come
in
here.
This
is
a
great
town.
The
people
of
this
town
are
responsible
and
leave
the
res.
It
should
be
the
responsibility
of
the
people
if
they
want
to
wear
masks,
they
wear
a
mask.
AL
I
mean
it
shouldn't,
be
y'all's
responsibility
to
dictate
that
we
wear
a
mask.
That's
all
I'm
saying
and,
and
it
it's
it
just
hurts,
hurts
me
to
see
it's
the
first
time.
I've
ever
been
up
here
and
I
try
to
stay
out
of
politics
for
sure,
but
it
just
hurts
me
when
you're,
seeing
so
many
people
that
are
hurt
because
of
this
thing
and
they're,
and
it's
because
of
fear.
AL
You
know
I
think
we've
got
a
better
control
of
this.
This
virus-
and
you
know
we're
gonna,
get
over
this,
but
scaring
people
into
wearing,
masks
and
mandating
that
we
wear
a
mask.
I
don't
think
that's
you
know.
I
think
that
should
be
their
their
responsibility,
not
not
sure.
That's
your
guys,
ma'am
ma'am,
I'm
sorry
for
that.
AL
But
that's
you
know.
That's
where
I
am
with
this,
and
I
hope
y'all
really
think
about
the
the
science
part
of
this,
and
you
know
with
the
science
part.
I
don't
see
how
y'all
can
say:
yeah
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
mandate,
masks,
you
know
wearing
masks,
it's
it's
the
people's
responsibility,
not
not
y'alls.
A
AM
AM
AM
Why
in
july,
did
they
start
recording
probable
cases
to
date,
two
million
four
hundred
and
twenty-one
one
hundred
and
sixty-nine
to
me,
421
169
tests
have
been
given
and
out
of
that,
189
and
251
cases
have
been
confirmed
for
the
state.
It
still
seems
rather
disproportionate
to
still
be
counting
probable
cases.
AM
I've
heard
tale
after
tale
of
citizens
who
have
had
one
family
member
test
positive
and
they
wanted
to
be
tested,
but
they
were
told.
No,
you
don't
have
to
be
tested,
you're
already
counted
positive
so
that
day
one
positive
case
turned
into
six
or
seven
what
other
virus
has
been
documented?
This
way,
I
have
a
few
personal
testimonies
that
others
have
shared
with
me.
One
is
a
retired
school
path,
speech
pathologist,
who
now
contracts
with
the
school
doing
the
same
job.
She
wears
a
mask,
but
her
student
cannot.
AM
AM
Another
is
a
gentleman
who
contracted
kovid
and
was
sent
to
trinity
hospital.
He
is
diabetic,
has
high
blood
pressure
and
kidney
problems
he
recovered
and
swears.
If
he
catches
it
again,
he
would
rather
take
his
chance
with
dying.
The
nurses
were
stretched
so
thin
and
he
could
not
get
anyone
to
answer
the
call
buttons,
but
that's
nothing.
New
nurses
have
always
been
over
tasked
and
stretched
thin.
The
only
difference
now
is
a
patient
has
no
family
with
them
to
go,
find
help
or
assist
in
place
of
a
nurse
for
bathroom
needs,
etc.
AM
AM
AM
We
were
asked
to
put
on
masks
as
we
walked
into
the
precinct
and
we
do
wear
them
on
very
short
durations
in
places
like
hospitals,
where
they're
required
and
in
trying
to
put
my
daughters
on
she
was
struggling,
and
the
gentleman
told
her
you
have
to
put
it
on
sweetie
and
I
responded
she
doesn't
have
to,
but
out
of
out
of
respect
for
others,
we
will
which
brings
me
to
my
last
point.
Many
do
not
understand
any
of
this.
What
is
the
truth
and
what
is
not?
What
is
law,
what
is
not
who
is
exempt?
AM
Where
does
it
apply?
None
of
this
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
Death
rates
are
declining,
hospitalizations
and
ventilator
use
are
leveling,
so
why
I'm
not
just
speaking
for
myself,
but
for
my
children
when
I
say
please
stop
creating
fear
and
a
false
security,
and
I
also
wanted
to
add
a
little
extra
that
someone
brought
up
earlier
about
the
municipal
association
and
directly
from
their
website
is
some
directions
on
extending
mass
ordinances
and
it
specifically
states
that
the
association
remember
recommends
this
approach.
AN
AN
It
is
very
stressful
on
the
population.
It
was
a
huge
concern
to
me
when
this
all
first
started
my
mom
she's
75,
but
not
she's,
about
20.
Really.
I
was
concerned
about
her.
I'm
like
please
wash
your
hands
please,
because
she
is
a
freewheeler
she's
not
going
to
pay
attention
to
any
of
this
any
of
it,
and
I
was
concerned
at
the
for
at
the
beginning.
I
asked
her
to
please
wash
her
hands.
Please
wear
a
mask.
You
know
just
be
careful
because
you're
in
the
age
range
that
they
supposedly
said
is
in
danger.
AN
She
said
no
and
went
on
about
her
business
and
her
life
as
normal
amongst
the
people
that
she
knows
she
never
got
sick.
She
never
showed
any
symptoms.
She
never
slowed
down
even
for
one
second,
so
I
started
noticing
that
none
of
my
nurse
friends
were
saying
that
this
was
a
dangerous.
When
I
have
a
lot
of
nurse
friends
strangely
enough
that
this
was
dangerous
in
no
way
shape
or
form
was
going
into
the
hospitals
going
on
what
was
being
said
was
going
on
inside
hospitals.
AN
The
disparity
of
stories
coming
from
these
places
started
making
me
think
something
is
not
right
here.
So
I
start
studying
I
start
reading,
I
start
looking
and
then
I
start
noticing
people
being
censored.
Silenced
videos
deleted
off
of
the
internet
accessible
to
the
general
public,
and
most
people
are
not
interested
in
this
stuff.
They
listen
to
the
government,
they
say.
Oh,
my
gosh
cnn
is
blasting
millions
and
millions
of
people.
AN
AN
AN
AN
A
A
AO
Mean
I
don't
have
evening:
asthma,
harper,
1528,
pine
log
road
and
I'm
far
more
nervous
face
to
face
than
I
am
behind
the
keyboard.
Clearly,
because
all
of
you
have
received
many
emails
from
me,
I'm
not
discriminatory,
of
course,
because
if
I
sent
one
to
you,
I
sent
one
to
them
all.
It
was
just
a
cut
and
paste
matter,
but
I
hope
tonight
that
me
and
her
were
downstairs.
We've
been
downstairs
all
night
and
finally,
we
were
just
like.
AO
AI
AO
AO
AO
If,
if
a
business
wants
me
to
wear
a
mask,
that'll
be
fine
too.
If
I'm
I'll
have
one
in
my
pocket,
something
I
know
for
myself,
I
have
not
been
to
the
new
moon.
I
have
not
been
to
what's
cooking,
I
haven't
been
uptown
shopping
and
I
haven't
gone
to
the
alley
I
like
to
go
up
there,
sometimes
just
to
because
it's
fun
and
good
food,
but
I
haven't
been
because
I
don't
I
don't
want
to
wear
a
mask.
I
don't
want
to
and
nothing.
AO
Nobody
really
cares
about
what
I
feel
like
or
what
I
want.
But
when
you
have
almost
600
citizens
of
aiken
sign
a
petition
with
their
name,
their
email
and
their
addresses
asking
you
to
please
reconsider
about
this
mandate.
That
speaks
volumes
because
you
did
not
have
that
many
asking
to
have
it.
I
think
we've
had
three
possibly
four
people
here
tonight
that
want
the
mask.
AO
They
gave
you
emotional,
emotional,
please,
the
people
that
came
up
here
before
me.
They
came
up
with
evidence.
They
came
up.
They
even
passed
you
out
papers
with
real,
real,
real
evidence
of
where
this
mask
stands
today
in
november,
was
it
different
in
march?
Yes,
was
it
different
in
july
sure
I've
been
here
every
time.
You
guys
know
that,
except
for
the
last
time,
because
it
was
at
five
o'clock-
and
I
complained
about
that
to
all
of
you
via
email.
AO
Thank
you
for
that
appreciate
that,
but
the
people
that
stood
here
before
you
tonight
and
the
people
that
are
still
watching
tonight,
I
commend
all
of
those
people
for
coming
up
here
and
expressing
not
only
with
facts
and
scientific
evidence.
The
reason
why
these
mess
we're
in
november
now
we
have
a
handle
on
this
covet.
AO
AO
We
don't
need
to
have
that,
so
I'm
really
asking
I'm
really
hoping
the
big
part
of
the
conversation
out
in
the
hallways
is
you've
already
made
up
your
mind
and
you've
already
walked
in
here
and
you're
just
entertaining
us.
So
thank
you
for
that.
If
that
is
truly
the
case,
but
I
we
are
asking
you
to
please
reconsider
not
signing
up
for
this
mass
mandate.
AO
D
A
A
It
will
go
into
effect
november
20th
at
noon.
If
it
passes,
we
will
replace
the
trans
trans
trespassing
charge,
which
would
be
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
with
a
flat
25,
fine,
not
to
be
sql
escalated,
and
the
third
was
to
amend
the
language
and
remove
any
references
to
food
services,
establishments
and
restaurants
as
to
not
contradict
or
confuse
with
that
said
by
the
by
the
governor's
executive
order,
so
that
that's
what's
before
us
with
that,
we'll
put
it
to
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
second
reading
of
the
ordinance.
A
B
Quite
impressive
to
hear
the
work
that
you
all
have
done.
I
mean
we
I
I
know
we
all
have
gotten
tons
of
emails
and
things
and
the
one
gentleman
said,
do
we
want
freedom
or
safety,
and
I
think
it
was
benjamin
franklin
that
says.
If
you
give
up
your
freedom
for
safety,
you
don't
deserve
either,
and
then
I
used
this
last
week
and
it's
a
quote
from
president
reagan
that
we
never
want
more
than
one
generation
away
from
extinction.
Our
freedom.
L
And
and
it's
very
impressive
what
people
had
to
say
tonight
and
they
were
well
spoken,
and
it
proves
that
you
don't
have
to
be
a
doctor
or
what
somebody
considers
an
expert.
A
lot
of
people
did
a
lot
of
homework,
but
for
those
of
you
who
wrote
us
emails,
somebody
suggested
that
we
didn't
give
enough
information
out
there.
I
know
I
speak
for
all
of
us.
We
got
hundreds
of
emails
and
a
lot
of
people
are
for
the
mass
coordinates
and
we
heard
you
and
we
had
a
lot
of
people
who
were
against
it.
L
I
personally
had
phone
calls
from
people
who
were
mentors
of
mine
growing
up
that
were
members
of
mine
from
being
a
kid,
and
they
asked
me
to
vote
and
support
the
mask
ordinance,
but
I
also
had
others
they
called
me
and
said
we
want
you
not
to
support
the
mask
ordinance.
I
hear
you,
it
goes
both
ways.
We
heard
a
lot
of
people
in
favor
of
not
supporting
it
tonight,
but
it's
there's
a
lot
of
people
there's
a
lot
of
things,
and
I
want
to
make
this
perfectly
clear.
L
Everybody
on
this
council
is
doing
what
they
think
is
best.
There's
no
money
involved
nobody's
getting
paid.
That
was
suggested.
That's
that's
incorrect.
There's
not
some
bias
here.
We
all
individually
are
doing
the
best
that
we
can
with
what
the
information
we
have
and
we
all
love
they
can
and
we're
doing
it.
For
that
reason,
we
had
voted
it
passed,
we're
all
in
it
together
now
100
on
that,
let's
go
forward.
Let's
be
positive,
let's
be
together
on
this.
We
cannot
afford
to
be
so
divided.
L
Amongst
this
thing,
everything's
going
to
get
better,
it's
not
going
to
stay
forever.
We
could
get
into
vaccines
and
that's
a
whole
nother
kettle
fish,
but
I
don't
know
we
won't
get
into
that
tonight.
But
we've
got
things
coming
down
the
pipe,
that's
going
to
make
things
better,
let's
get
together
at
least
within
our
community
and
do
the
best
that
we
can
and
the
best
for
each
other.
The
mandate
went
out
on
monday.
L
I
went
out
to
the
stores
and
everything
people
were
still
wearing
masks.
Businesses
want
people
to
wear
masks,
that's
fine,
that's
the
thing
I've
always
supported.
Is
the
businesses
are
going
to
enforce
it
so
we're
together.
Now
it's
over
move
forward.
Let's
do
the
best.
We
can
and
have
a
great
holiday
season
go
out
and
support
these
small
businesses.
They
need
your
help.
That's
what
I'm
concerned
about.
