I think the weakness in our legislator's position is best exemplified when they write...
“We support a secondary test requirement, as soon as it is feasible to implement. However, in the meantime, we urge the county to retain the Oct. 15 start date for the pre-travel testing program, while simultaneously working towards standing up a program that includes post-arrival testing."
Wherein they express their willingness to go against good science and bend to the pressures of the economy. Which is understandable, to a point. Thankfully Harry is making the better, harder, choice that others would find too difficult to make.
The bottom line is we need a robust testing program. Testing for all citizens first. With that we can return to school, return to open eateries, to bars and gyms, etc. Once that is done, and has cleared our communities of the virus, we can begin to open to tourism. Until then for every opening there will be spikes in infections and closings to follow.. why waste our time on that rollercoaster?
At least this way we can opt in once the Ige/Green method proves itself worthy of our considerations, if in fact they work. I'd much rather this approach than having to scramble to shut down again if, as many fear, they prove to not work.
