Covid-19 what’s happening now

By Kendra Hill

Covid-19 is still the hot topic in every nights news along with a few breaking news from Governor Kim Reynolds.

In the early months of finding out about the pandemic Governor Reynolds put a hold or a closures on certain businesses such as salons, spas, gyms, bars, and dine in restaurants.

Certain business since then have closed there doors permanently and are out of business.

Why did she put these in place at the begining and not now when are cases seem to be climbing by thousands a day. What is she doing differently now than what she was doing eight months ago. What new mandaites are gonna come out in the next few days, weeks, or even months.

Just recently she put a mask mandate in order stating that if you have fifteen or more people around you inside mask must be worn at all times. No more than ten people in a home.

Why is she just now putting this in place? Shouldn’t this of been done months ago? Why do our cases keep climbing instead of flattening the curve?

Many people believe Reynolds is not doing what needs to be done to keep our state cases low and down in the hundreds instead of thousands. Over the summer our cases seemed to be between 100- 999 but now we are ranging from 550 to 6,000 cases a day with close to 15 deaths every other day it seems like.

Many schools are switiching to hybrid where students go two times a week and have the rest of the classes online or even have a day off in the middle. What’s gonna happen after thanksgiving if our cases keep climbing? Are they just going to be online for the rest of the school year?

Many schools are also canceling basketball and wrestling due to the amount of cases they have in their community or surrounding communities.

Even with Kim making the right step as to put a mask mandate why couldn’t this of been done sooner.
