ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Thibeault
So | got a few things to say about this in general. You know, I'm going to get snickered at this but | do believe masks work
even if it's 30%, 40%. Each mask obviously has a different range of health depending on how good they are. | really
respect what the Board of Health says. Despite what | saw on Facebook today or | heard on Facebook somebody told me
that was on Facebook that a member it said that the Board of Health doesn't care about white people, which | thought was
a strange comment to say. | don't believe that at all and makes me even believe more strongly in the Board of Health.
They're not trying to do any citizens the wrong way. They care.
| went to the Board of Ed last night and a lot of the people were there to obviously go against the mask mandate. One
person that was there said, you know Director Bagley — actually you just called her Bobbie Bagley - but Director Bagley
didn't mention how many kids have died since the masked mandate. Well you know why he said because no kid has
died. Isn't that what we're trying to save? So if a kid dies, then it’s okay to wear masks? Isn't that what we're trying to
prevent by wearing masks? And you know one person said, well kids they're just not getting it as badly as adults. True,
facts but isn't the whole point so they don't bring it back home and giving to their parents, or giving it to their elderly
grandparents. It's not necessarily kids dying, it's making sure the other adults aren't dying, right? We don't want anybody
