"Pretty good crowd estimates of anywhere from excessive five hundred to two. Well i would say the thousands but perhaps over a thousand people according to a couple of mornings with gail listeners. Who were in attendance at yesterday at this Protest outside of the fort collins office of the larimer county health department to protest the concept of vaccine passports has got some photos and some video from our mornings with gail family members. Diane and bill and yes in case. You're wondering you remember. It was Last week that we talked with john clark about that huge truck that was parked on north college. That said no fascists and well. Let's just say it caused quite the stir and that truck is still there by the way but apparently according to this piece by molly bahaman despite the weather yesterday which was well of wintry as we have that wintry next of rain snow falling you had people coming from across colorado some even across state lines to voice their concerns. listen to about a dozen speakers Who shared their beliefs about the cove. Nineteen back seen public help. Mandates you had a state. Senators representatives and notable conservative names like dell big tree michelle malkin and kevin jenkins now many of the attendees. They had some pretty creative signs. I have to say but many of the attendees had signed saying we do not comply and fire. Tom gonzalez again. Tom gonzales over the laramie county health department or that critiqued folks. Dr aunt anthony found. She some disavowed. Fascism or compared a vaccine mandate to nazi germany. Now the protest was originally planned against the county's verified vaccine facility program that was announced alongside the county's most recent indoor mass mandate now that voluntary program. Which has been placed on hold for the immediate future allow businesses that required employees and customers to be vaccinated to ignore the basque mandate for indoor spaces. Rather we later found out that even though they jump through all the hoops in order to get that get that particular easement from the mandates that was not grandfathered in to the equation so even though they followed all of the mandates restrictions at least to my understanding while they weren't grandfathered in now the program was actually paid placed on pause following community outcry on october twenty. First just six days. After it was announced on october fifteenth. It was set to go into a fact just yesterday but once again as i mentioned on indefinite hold while the department takes in additional community feedback now. According to a county statement sent out on saturday thirty three businesses that already had their own vaccination mandates had been approved for the program but as mentioned they're going to have to now require at here now adhere to that required mask mandate now..

"If it what do you think now is probably the nice elderly couple that lives next door that was climbing up and down on the on the light post. That's probably exactly what it was all right last one here. No new covert outbreaks at larimer. larimer county schools. This is an interesting story here that ties into a lot of weird stuff going on and larmer county right now for the first time since person school resumed in full in the fall. There have been no new cove. Nineteen outbreaks in the putter or thompson. School districts new data from the state department of public health environment shows labour. Kenny's four new outbreaks involve private businesses and they long-term care center. I'll break equals two. People outbreak does not really equal to people for that reason. Outbreak is dumb in this instance. the car reports hospitals and lamoure county remain above capacity with a hundred and ten percent. Icu utilization rate was because there's no nurses because he fired him because they wouldn't get the vaccine or is that legitimate. Every room is filled up. Is that legitimately every room. That is filled up. That's what that's what the people need to know. And that's what they should have to report because if every rooms filled up. I think that that's a completely different story than well. It's one hundred ten percent because we let go five percent of our staff. That's a difference there. It's such a fine line because these these healthcare workers who we put you know as idols last year and rightfully so working their butts off and now this year because of the corporations that are running the corporations that are running these hospitals. They kinda look like the bad guys. So this is going on in larimer county and then did you hear. You didn't hear us talking with mayor. Paul meyer last thursday. Tom gonzales the limerick county health director. He's kinda good. I i don't want to call it a vendetta. But he's of going after some people here. He's kind of going after some people here tom. Gonzalez's He sent emails out. All the mayors in the area in lerma county the fall underneath our county's district and pretty much ripped him anew one ripped timon because he said he was tired of him. Being the the bad guy of him being the fascist is what some people have called him and it all stems from. There was a truck and trailer so much trailer. The pulled up in front of lerma county health department and Fascist on it it a sad it right in front of the county health department and this kind of this triggered a man. He sends emails out to everybody. Then a story has to come out in the colorado on although larimer county department of health and environment structure tomkins made the decision at signed the document. There's a group of appointed officials to whom kansallis answers in who showed support for the decision. That's a pretty good deflection there. Tom that's pretty good. It's not me it's there's these other people colorado and write it show. How show how this works. It wasn't me guys. It's cool and they put the vaccine verification program remember. We talked about this. Where if you proved yet a vaccine and every employee in the business proved that they had the vaccine. Then you could not wear mask.

"You couldn't before but especially now. How do you handle that. That type of email paul will serve you. Well i think you know you have to wait. Each one individually what they're asking what they're stating and and kind of have to figure what the outcome's gonna be based upon your response. of course. i'm stating the obvious in that regard But i i think you know windsors fortunate enough and i probably said this before in other times i've been on the air but i've got a great staff that's behind me and quite honestly the biggest set of emails that i got were regarding. Why don't you make mass mandatory. You know here in windsor. Why don't you make them. You know voluntary and and i was getting emails on both sides. And you know politically you know. I don't necessarily agree with the governor on a lot of stuff. But when he made the mass mandate statewide it was actually easier on me as elected official because all of a sudden all those emails went away just pointing to the governor and say hey blame him. I'm sorry that that's the way it is. I will say all this as well is. It was pretty tough being a community split over two counties. And i know i talk about that quite a bit. Oh and that was the point that i wanted to make too. Because i don't think you could have got more polar opposite views from larimer county and weld county in regards to the mask. Mandate well the the obvious is the health. Department's between both counties are extremely different. Diametrically and and obviously the health directors are up there. They're beating the drum of their bosses. The county commissioners and so they we all. We all know how that went here in weld county in very short order when certain comments were made certain people were asked to retire so but in larimer county. You guys may have heard about what just happened in the last day or so Tom gonzalez over there sent out an email. There's a a eighteen wheeler that's parked by the health department in in.

This apparently pretty prominently displayed on a tractor trailer in fort collins on semi whatever the case may be. I haven't seen the sign myself but seems so it's causing quite disturbed because well you had Tom gonzalez who is over the lamoure county department of public health and environment deciding that well that was directed straight at him and needless to say yeah he has come under pressure as they came up with that program for businesses. That's after larimer county. Did in fact mandate mass. I believe it was last wednesday at noon for indoor spaces but Came up with a work around basically for Businesses to opt into this program which for all intents and purposes is on the path to a vaccine passport. Well apparently yeah. There was some blowback there which is to be expected so all of a sudden up. Pops this truck with sign on it. That says stop fascists and well. Let's say that Tom gonzalez internalized. That and this led to an entire flurry of text messages and emails. I believe it was up on Graham if i'm not mistaken but enter lamoure county sheriff justin smith the voice of reason essentially saying it's protected speech unless this truck is parked here legally We're gonna leave it alone. What say you nine. Seven three five three thirteen ten drops text on thirteen. Ten k of k a text. Line triple eight five. Three zero zero zero forty three.

"Breaking news. Everything nine now. Northern colorado's boys one of three one. Thirteen ten kfi k. Mornings with gail via the auto collision specialists studios and no john. Clark are northern colorado voice of institutional wisdom. I did not hear about the stop. Fascist sign on north college. Do tell this is an interesting little piece of information that i just picked it up this morning but evidently Yesterday there was a communication between tom. Gonzalez who is the director of the health department lerma county and the commissioners and other elected officials such as the sheriff and so on Decrying a sign that was painted on the side of a semi truck trailer. That's parked up on north college avenue in fort collins. That says stop fascists. Now i don't know I guess tom gonzalez took that pretty personally that they were talking about the people in his department who were fascist. I i kinda doubt that. That's a sign leftover from world war two But but on the other hand the whole the whole thing is is crazy because he then wrote this this message to all the commissioners and all those other elected officials i just discussed and it basically said that our health department has been providing protection. Great service to the people of lamoure county for over seventy years. Seventy three years is the number that sticks in my mind and and and we find this offensive and hurtful and and this is just something that my dedicated employees are. This is just a real slam at them. They're really good. People were considered best to the community. That that's my paraphrasing of what he wrote and i think it's spot on us to what the sentiment was no indication that that particular sign was directed him well. He even put a picture of the son in instagram. So that was pretty obvious with the b. Sure is well the signed learns there to obviously to everyone's at trailer and so they want it removed. Now the the only basis to remove it is if that particular semi trailer is parked there illegally that that would be but just to take down because the health department people feel bad about it isn't gonna cut it so then The commissioner could shattuck whatever name is mcnally shattuck wrote back and said that the this is offensive. We're going to get with the city of fort collins. It's in their their jurisdiction and see if there's violates assigned code or whatever I'm pretty expert on the signed code in fort collins and there is a limit as to how big assigned you can have however it doesn't cover semi trailer trucks You can put your budweiser as big as you want on the side of your trail. And in this case Evidently this individual has a problem with fascism I guess given the current climate in political situation right now at it very likely could be aimed at people in health department. Though the health department is making assumption here and perhaps it's all of the blowback that came from their attempts to institute for lack of a better term. A what i referred to as a vaccine passports again saying oh no. This is purely voluntary for businesses. And john united talked about that Right as well as soon as it popped up basically they they pressed pause. I'm not gonna say that. Put the kyw bosch on the program. They pressed pause because it is a step on the way toward a vaccine passport. But it's interesting. I guess as you said tempers are flaring. i mean the community. Angry businesses angry Once again it's the ever rotating changing nature of cova nineteen guidelines and restrictions. The for him to take the so personally i. I'm not so sure that well. That's the way he should go with. This would have been better if he had just ignored. Well that's one way but then enter lamoure county. Sheriff justin smith to the rescue. He wrote back and he said that. This is a matter of free. Speech guaranteed by the constitution. This is not something that is considered Hate hate speech It's not something that's considered obscenity. And therefore it is protected by the first amendment. Well okay I i i agree with you in this country. Do not have the right not to be offended. That's right yeah suddenly spot on the and you can't offend other people. It's if you want to. It's not always a great idea. But but yeah you. You can't if you feel strongly offend somebody. He can't hit him. You get hurt and you can't called physical harm to them but just to hurt their feelings That is not a constitutionally protected Right so anyway i. I'm so grateful to justin put some sanity into this whole discourse prone to do you justin. You and i both have a high opinion of justice. I don't know where he's headed next in his political life. But i'm with him wherever he goes so so anyway he put this in so this is just some craziness now. The as i said at the outset the only thing thing that can stop that sign is if that truck is illegally parked wherever it's party but that's not likely because there are a lot of semi trucks naked.

"Colorado in intensive care unit beds in larimer county have been full for weeks with a high number of coveted nineteen patients but in late september. Going into early october.

But that's not what happened county. Icu capacity remained close to or beyond one hundred percent. Through september and into october prompting public health officials to announce another indoor mask mandate. And we talked about that last week again. That will go into effect at noon. Today's so who does the mask mandate apply to. And what will it take to end it. Well the larimer county mass mandate includes the fact that face coverings that cover a person's nose and mouth will be required in all public spaces for people ages three and older again starting noon today. There are limited exceptions in which you don't need a mask including if you're one that cannot medically tolerate a face covering and while seated at a restaurant or while actively eating and drinking and here we go again and i am not a verana gist. I am not an epidemiologist. That don't play one on radio but could you explain to me why it is that we need where face covering for example and believe me. I'm a huge supporter of small businesses. It's such a multilayered multifaceted conversation. And i want small businesses that were so hard hit over the past eighteen months to be able to not only survive and thrive particularly restaurants bars. And those mom and pop shops that we so love but for the life of me. I could never understand why it is that you have to wear a mask when you walk into a restaurant but when you are seated well it's though you are like hermetically sealed in this kobe free zone because you're eating or drinking. It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. Can you explain it to me. And then you know all the plexiglass shields that we see in businesses just across the board that go up.
