“We are all fed up with COVID-19 and the problems it has brought,” said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of public health. “People are hurting, whether it’s from the virus or the rest of our lives. It’s all bad, though, when we don’t do simple tasks like wearing masks and social distance. As October approaches, please be kind to each other and remember that we help each other and ourselves when we focus on defeating the virus rather than arguing with each other. “
