the COVID dashboard at State Level seems broken today…

Breaking from Whatcom County Health Dept today Nov 23rd 2020

Up to 100,000 to be out of work and…

  • The Health Department agreed that although cases are up the death rate is flat…
  • There is no scientifically presented need for relocking down businesses … Lockdown is only for preventing the medical system from being overwhelmed.
  • Health Department not near taking other health, community, school issues into consideration.
  • Local hospital has a lot of capacity… especially at the ER.
  • See the whole press conference here…
Thanks to local source Liberty Road for the Information today…
