Board Of Aldermen

For those asking for evidence around “show me the science and the data”, we have limited, if
any data at the present time, to outline that “curfews” work to do what we “want or expect
them to do” but when, not if, we climb out of this scary hole we now find ourselves in, those
smarter than me, may be able to look and see if actions such as this one, made any difference
at all.

Am | hopeful that by implementing this curfew, the virus will suddenly shrink away and run for
the hills?

This virus has ravaged our economy, has taken innocent lives and there is no one here tonight
that has not been touched by what this virus has done in less than 1 year.

Taking data from the NYTimes this past Friday (12/18/2020), there are over 17.6 million positive
Covid cases and 314,000 deaths in the US with >75 million cases and 1.6 million deaths world-
wide.

Locally, our Nashua numbers reflect similar scary statistics that other members of the Public
Health Department who are on the line will be sharing with you tonight when | am finished.

think this is the meeting that we should have all the Aldermen give their views on the Legislation so that
tomorrow night, we are not having to go through another 2 hours of discussion.

President Wilshire

That was the original intent, this evening, Alderman Dowd.
