this lack of uniformity? Eighteen days after the mask mandate was reinstated, the Nashua Public
school needed to close because of high covid teacher absenteeism, despite having a masking
policy since the start of the school year.

[13] Adopt a policy to only recommend covid testing if symptomatic and define symptomatic.
Recommend a reduction in testing for Nashua residents. What is the scientific reliability of rapid
testing versus PCR testing? How much false data is generated by each? Should rapid testing be
stopped?

[14] Create a masking policy that states the only effective masks are N95 or KN95. While | totally
disagree with your mask policy, the Board’s endorsement of policies created “half way”
demonstrates a lack of leadership. If you believe that you know the right answer, message the
right answer.

[15] Create a recommendation that every public organization should welcome those to their
buildings when proper protocols are followed. Our public schools are not allowing parent
volunteers into buildings. The education of Nashua’s children, within the public education system,
has lost a lot of ground based on bad policy. Private school children have fared better because
schools remained open, and have allowed parent volunteers, with some private schools allowing
masking choices. This board should be concerned with how health policy has eroded the
education of our children and the consequences to mental health.

[16] Some private schools opened the year with masking choices and have maintained these
policies. As far as | know, none of those schools ended up closing because of an epidemic spread
among children or teachers. Determine why private schools have not experienced the shutdowns
associated with COVID that the public schools have experienced despite having masking policies in
place since the start of school.

[17] Promote the message that this virus is now an endemic that we will live with. Dr. Fauci
11/28/21 (speaking with Margaret Brennan CBS face the nation) - “ Americans are “going to have
to start living” with the virus as “we’re not going to eradicate” it.”

The Board of Health erred in creating a policy that allowed restaurants, bars, casinos and clubs to
remain open for unmasked business while demanding masks be worn in all other essential

businesses.

It is inappropriate for any member of the Board of Health to create a message based on fear;
please promote solutions not fear.

Comments | just want to thank the Board of Alderman for ordering the local

mask mandate for indoor spaces. It seems to be followed by
most people and businesses, although | have experienced
exceptions. | wish that this could be extended to churches. |
hope that the mandate is renewed until the vaccination
numbers are in the 90 percent region and the covid
hospitalizations are down. Keep up the good work.

Aldermen Wilshire and the Board of Aldermen:

This email is an official request to the Board of Aldermen to take action on City Clerk
Lovering's letter sent to Board members on December 17, 2021 re Alderwoman Kelly. This
email requires more than just procedural actions of placing this email on file.

The December 28, 2021 Agenda for the Board of Aldermen meeting, contained the letter sent
by the City Clerk to inform the President of the Board of Alderwoman Kelly being absent more
than three times for regular board meetings. Aldermen O’Brien motioned to put this item on
indefinite hold.

Per NRO-5-6: any member of the Board of Aldermen that is recorded absent at three or more
regular meetings of the board, the City Clerk shall transmit a communication stating that fact to
the Board of Aldermen, and the stipend for that quarter shall be withheld.

This letter needs to come before the board again. However, this time I request that all Aldermen
that have done business with Alderwoman Kelly company (Kelly Creative also doing business
as The Do it Left Project) abstain from voting on this item. As you can see below it will show a
direct conflict of interest on the part of the Aldermen that had used Alderwoman Kelly’s
company for campaign literature.

Clearly, some of our Aldermen have financial ties to each other, It appears that
Alderwoman Kelly's marketing company does a lot of work for some of the other Aldermen and
other city officials. Perhaps the work required to support the Aldermen prevented Alderwoman

Board of Aldermen members that gave contributions to the Nashua Democratic Party,
approximately $22,000 in contributions, should also abstain from casting their vote due to a
direct conflict of interest because the Nashua Democratic Party used Alderwoman Kelly's
company for campaign literature.

One of the Board of Aldermen's functions is to be accountable to the Nashua taxpayers and
therefore the stipends paid to Alderwoman Kelly should be returned to the Nashua
taxpayers. Taxpayers should not be paying for work that was not done.

I ask that Alderwoman Kelly's stipend for the 3% quarter of 2021 be returned to the City of
Nashua.

Subject: Mask Mandate

CAUTION: This email came from outside of the organization. Do not click links/open attachments if source is
unknown.

As you, the elected government of our fair city, consider renewing/extending the mask mandate for all
public buildings in our fair city, please consider the following:

The latest mask mandate is a dismal failure, just as the last one was. 290 NEW CASES in one day
(this information came from WMUR's Covid tracking page) as of 05-JAN-22 in Nashua because, you
know, masks work.

Ask yourselves this question: !f masks work, how is it that, during the height of the original Covid
outbreak early in 2020 and during the subsequent outbreak of Covid-D in 2021, WHEN EVERYONE
IN THE COUNTRY WAS MASKED IN PUBLIC; with certain states excepted, and locked down in their
homes, obsessively washing their hands and obsessively disinfecting surfaces in their homes and
vehicles multiple times a day, THE VIRUS CONTINUED TO SPREAD UNABATED?

Now during the Omicron outbreak, infections are spiraling upwards again, with a re-instituted mask
mandate. How is it that the infection rate is skyrocketing in Nashua since your recent re-institution of
the mask mandate, if masks work?

The holes between the fibers in most masks, i.e. surgical masks, range from 80um to 500um
depending on mask construction techniques. The Covid virus measures 0.1um to 0.5 um. Don't
believe me? You can look this information up on the internet. That's where | got it from. Better yet,
ask the local health experts that are advising you, just to see if they are informed on this detail. N95
masks are touted as “the best” protection against the virus. Yet, they are only capable of filtering
particles AND VIRUSES down to .3um. Therefore are not effective at filtering out ALL of the Covid
viruses.

N95 mask information is found here:
https://Ims.learning.hhs.gov/content/prod content/cninvO00000000025775/N95 FAQ 2011.pdf

Even with multiple overlapping layers in masks, the virus can and will still pass through the holes
between fibers because the holes in most masks, especially surgical masks, are 80 to 500 times the
size of the virus. Not to mention that the virus can enter through the sides, top and bottom of the
mask because there is NO AIRTIGHT SEAL in ordinary masks nor in N95 masks. An airtight seal is
only achieved with GAS MASKS.

Anecdotally, the virus is said to also enter through the eyes. Are you going to add a requirement that
goggles must also be worn along with a mask, next, when your current mandate expires and the virus
continues to spread UNABATED?

Masks don't work. If they did, the virus would NOT be spreading at an exponential rate on a daily
basis, AGAIN, here in Nashua and throughout the country.

Rescind the mask mandate. It doesn’t work. Wearing a mask should be a personal choice.
When was the last time any government FIXED ANYTHING by making it mandatory?

Live Free or Die should NEVER take a back seat, at any time, for any reason.
Respectfully,

Paul DiRico
