I am happy that our community can hear directly from our own local health department. I was told by a local eatery customer who stated she was a health care worker, as I was waiting for my take out food, to take off my mask as “you know you don’t need it”. She informed me that the virus & it’s numbers were basically bogus and “you should know better.” Of course my intelligent retort at that moment, barely intelligible through the mask, was “I’M a health care worker - I’m a nurse and YOU should know better!”.

With the positivity rate around 3 % and the recovery rate where it is though really not published much in Michigan, this leaves the casualty rate at I would guess at less than .5 percent of population I have not seen any excess crowding in the hospitals, so my question is if we are continuing to try to slow the spread, and if that is the only thing masks and distancing do, shouldn’t we work toward getting the hospitality closer to a 75% or higher rate to get this behind us rather than drag it out as long as possible. We are not o Evercrpwded, there have been 0 deaths in Newaygo county Hospitals appear to be nearly empty yet we still want to slow it down. Then we all want to know when life gets back to normal but everything we are doing is prolonging that outcome. I wear my mask but wonder if it is now counterproductive
