Good morning!
Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions during this very important meeting thisevening that greatly affects our lives and activities of daily life.
I have been very impressed with how our citizens are complying with directions from the
CDC and heath advisers for keeping 6 feet apart and staying away from crowds. I have notseen any violations of that personally in my outings. I went on a long walk yesterday and only
saw one other person on a walk.
I feel blessed to live in Montana where the coronavirus is not affecting us like New York. Weare very different from New York.
My hope is that there is great wisdom and balance in decision making tonight with the
reality of what is happening in Montana with citizens complying (that I have observed in mycommunity ) with distance and gathering recommendations versus enforcing more stringentenforcement such as quarantine and curfews in all of Montana. We have a vast beautiful areawith open spaces to enjoy and we have great common sense. I realize also that I may not haveall the latest info that you may have about issues in Montana with this virus.
You have a a time to have large ears tonight to listen to the community, make wise decisions,and may wisdom prevail over very loud opinions.
I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to make my voice heard. Lisa Lenoch
