MANDATE: Right call, Cd’A

Thank you to the City Council for their 90-day mask mandate. I regret that the PHD waived their mask mandate due to pressure from some aggressive individuals.

We should be embarrassed that our North Idaho hospitals are at capacity. We have no room for our victims of car accidents or heart attacks — our loved ones requiring complicated procedures must be sent to Seattle or Portland. Why? Because both of those states have mandates and they have room at their hospitals. We are very lucky that Washington and Oregon have not closed their borders to our ill.
