Mr. Hutchinson. Your inability to respond to a tax payer guarantees that you will not be getting my vote in the next election, and will prompt me to donate generously to your opponent. Thanks.

> Mr. Hutchinson. I am writing again to encourage you to open the public swimming pools. I could never understand why they were closed in the first place. All along the CDC had a statement on their website that pools are not a form of transmission. I have a serious back condition that requires physical therapy in a pool. My condition has deteriorated in the last month because of not having access to a pool. When it first closed I tried talking to the Gainesville city manager, to no avail. It seems like limiting access to adults, for exercise only, every other lane vacant, limiting the total number of people, could have kept the pools open. The Sun article states that the decision was made based on advice from the county’s legal team. Too often, lawyers are inclined to take draconian approaches. It’s much easier from them to say “close it down”, then to actually do some work and come up with reasonable limits. Not to mention that legal issues should not be the only consideration.

>> Mr. Hutchinson. Has science completely gone out the window in this country? My Ph.D. is in Microbiology, and I am just dismayed to read that you folks are requiring face masks in public. A quick search on PubMed (I hope you know what that is) turns up multiple articles showing pretty conclusively that wearing cloth face masks INCREASES the users chances of becoming infected. The link to one such article is below.

>> For one thing COVID is 0.1 micron in diameter and easily goes thru typical masks. So why is the risk of infection actually greater? Simple, when you wear a mask you are constantly touching your face to adjust it. Come on folks, do your homework. Get your facts from the scientific peer reviewed journals instead of the media.
