    We have tourist and we had hundreds come in for the protest. We just need to social distance. We have already lost some of our cherished small businesses, we can’t continue to hide. Social distance & wear a mask around others. Wash your hands and sanitize!

    I’m at the point that people must take responsibility for their own health. If you are amongst a vulnerable population, limit your trips to the store and other places, ALWAYS wear face coverings and continue to be diligent about washing hands and limiting your exposure to others. We as a whole should wear face coverings when at stores and continue to social distance. Everyone should be careful and considerate of others by maintaining a proper social distance. If we do our part, we can beat this virus. We must work together for this to happen.

    I am quite surprised how few shoppers wear a mask and that staff at some stores don’t wear them either. Maybe if our newspapers and other media took more responsibility in expressing that the danger is not over. This should still be front page news.

    Such a Tragic reminder that we are still vulnerable need to take precautions to Protect ourselves And our familys

    I think everyone shopping or working in buildings should wear mask. No buildings not even all hospital rooms have reverse flow air to prevent virus spread but no one seems to comprehend the contagiousness of the virus and his its spread

    I think that more people, especially the tourists should be wearing masks to protect each other.

      I do totally agree we don’t always know what state they come from and can be infected

    Governor Bullock, please keep Montana in Phase ll or back to Phase l so our state can get a better handle on this virus. Please, no more sick or dead.
