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

Please review the email | sent to my Ward Alderman, Patricia Klee, earlier today. She suggested that
we send emails to the entire BOA. | please ask that you NOT recommend a Mask Mandate in the
City of Nashua. We should have the freedom to make this chcice and can still be considerate of our
friends and neighbors. A mask mandate will also be detrimental to businesses in the City as some
people will chose to support business in neighboring towns that do not require masks.
Thank you for your email. While | respect your decision to support the mask mandate, | must ask that
you consider not supporting it.
COVID is going to be with us for a long time and we cannot continue to live as we are. My family has
done everything that was asked of us... vaccinated {boosters today}, wash our hands, stay home
when sick, social distancing. We cannot continue to walk around with a mask which is unhealthy to
breathe in our own carbon dioxide. The flu has been among us for many years and there is a new
strain every year that unfortunately does result in death for some, but there has never been a mask
mandate for the flu.
My fear is that the BOA will keep the mask mandate in place for an unnecessarily extended period of
time (as they did this summer) after it was no longer needed. | do appreciate your request for
measurable triggers rather than a group of non-medical professionals (no disrespect) deciding if we
continue to wear a mask.
| will respect your vote when the mask mandate is brought before the BOA but | think it is important
that you know how your constituents feel.
