MANDATE: ‘M’ is for madness

What madness! PHD sends Kootenai and Boundary counties to “red” status and then votes to cancel the mask mandate. The board complains about how tough it is to face opposition. But that is their job!

They should be enforcing the growing knowledge of science regarding COVID-19. Instead, they are afraid of the repercussions they will get.

Mask mandates are enforceable. They are successfully being enforced in other areas of the world. How many more people are going to have to die in Kootenai County before the board courageously faces their duty?
