Audience crammed closely together in small room, most without face masks, in County where less than half the population has been fully vaccinated against still out-of-control Covid-19 | Why not at least use much larger room?
One must ask whether Yavapai Community College couldn’t do a better job of trying to control the spread of Covid-19 during Governing Board meetings held on the Prescott Campus at the Rock House. Pictured below is a video shot showing a portion of the audience in attendance at the October 2021 Governing Board meeting. As the photo below illustrates, people attending the meeting appeared crammed together sitting elbow to elbow. Only one person is wearing a face mask. (Photo from video showing only a portion of audience.)
The problem is that the Covid-19 pandemic is continuing out-of-control in Yavapai County with a hundred or more daily infections being reported and many people dying. Why wouldn’t and educational institution with available huge meeting rooms move the Governing Board meeting to one of those locations and take at least minimal protections?
It would make common sense, or so it seems to the Blog.
