Masks in Kalispell Public Comment from Paige RappleyesAimee Brunckhorst From: The Rappleyes <splitaparts2010@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2021 11:34 AM To: Kalispell Meetings Public Comment Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Masks in Kalispell My name is Paige Rappleye. I reside at 357 5th Ave E N, Kalispell. I have an autoimmune disorder. I care for my aging inlaws. My adult son has an autoimmune disease as well as is in remission from cancer. My 9 yr daughter also has an autoimmune disease. We work, shop, worship, educate, & enjoy living in Kalispell. Ever since the mask mandate was lifted we order ALL of our groceries online. No longer feel safe ordering from restaurants (even if we order delivery or curbside we know that the preparers may not have been masked). Anything we cannot get curbside from stores that we KNOW are still masking we have no choice but to order online. The choices that you, our county commissioners, school boards like Big Fork, our Legislature, etc are making are taking money from families like ours AWAY from local Montana businesses and handing it directly to companies like Amazon. Please think about things like our Main Streets when you're bowing down to the militia -backed antimask movements instead of the children and families who are BEGGING you to support them in following real science -backed decisions here. I know there is a lot of information out there and a lot of pressure. But PLEASE listen to the CDC & Montana Public Health Department when making decisions regarding the health of children and people in your community NOT doctors who have lost privileges in local hospitals and junk science.
