The Board of Supervisors finally backed down and voted to restore our local control. We forced them to acknowledge that our businesses and schools are essential. Keep watching them closely because we will not let them drag our community back into those mindless shutdowns.

As residents of El Dorado County we are extremely concerned for the future of our community. Due to the restrictions and closures related to Covid our small businesses are facing great hardship along with residents who are not able to engage in activities like sports, worship and in-person education that are essential to our physical and mental wellness. If the restrictions continue on we will face greater impact of more permanent business closures, job losses, deaths of despair, drug abuse, depression among youth, delayed medical care, domestic violence, child abuse and much more. We need to have local flexibility based on what's occurring in our community. Current restrictions impact small businesses and schools without any showing that those environments have anything to do with the cases observed in our county.
Local oversight for our rural community is imperative to the survival of local businesses and quality of life.
The Healthy Communities Resolution proposes:
1. That our community is best served by an ability to respond locally to the virus in accordance with local data.
2. That our county is geographically diverse and not suited for county-wide restrictions.
3. That school districts are urged to safely open and provide in-person education to the greatest extent without delay.
Therefore we the undersigned are concerned citizens who urge our Board of supervisors and Public health officer to act now and adopt the Healthy Communities Resolution, and submit the executed resolution to the Governor and the State legislative representatives.

The Board of Supervisors is ignoring our struggle but they cannot ignore these numbers once we hit triple digits. Send this link to everyone you know right now so we can force them to listen to our local reality.

Understanding that keeping people safe means more than keeping residents of Eldorado County from supposed exposure to Covid-19 by using ineffective business and school lockdowns. It is your job to consider all aspects of what being safe means, physically, mentally and fiscally. The supposed cure can not be worse than the poison.
Please allow the small business' to stay open to be able to provide for their employees and their families. This is a personal risk evaluation for anyone who ventures out of their own home.
I had a business in Placerville and lost it to Big Box. I understand the struggles our small business People have. We need all of these hard working people to stay in business. Please don't let our town become a Ghost Town.
Close down VHR and people coming to their homes, who live 150 miles away (bring us the virus to our town) and open our local businesses , schools, churches, restaurants to the Local people. Show ID. Keep the outsiders OUT.
The predominant problem is at both ends of county. Let our local health officials and business community work together to best ensure health of population. This one size fits all approach doesn’t fit our situation.
OPEN UP!!!
More harming being done with lockdowns than the virus

Dr. Nancy Williams and Public Health Dept need to be more open to other health recommendations than those from Calif Health Dept! 15,000 doctors and scientists signed the Barrington Declaration! Let's listen to ALL the science!
