Michael Whitney <michaelwhitney.oxfordrobot@gmail.com> Thu 9/2/2021 1:30 PM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Please enter this comment as part of the board of commissioner's record for the 09/02/21 meeting Lisa, I have sent David Coulter this same note but I wanted to ensure it gets here as well. This is in regards to the Emergency Order (2021-01) for Control of Pandemic. Mr. Coulter, I am emailing you today to ask you to push to withdraw the mask mandate that was enacted for the schools last week. To declare an emergency order under these circumstances is a massive overreach in power. Multiple elected boards have been overruled by this mandate. The Michigan state board of education ruled to pass the decision down to the districts and at the time of the ruling only 9 of the 28 districts chose to mandate masks. This needs to be a matter of local choice. The current Oakland County data does not seem to meet the requirements to justify an emergency order. We are currently much lower than when the mandate was lifted in May and on top of that we were on a 12 day decline the day that the order was declared. The children are also at an incredibly low risk, statistically. We need to let them be kids, let them learn and play without having to be bothered by masks. This issue has become such a distraction for everyone involved. Let the kids get back to learning, let them see their friends and teachers' faces, let them be in Spanish class and actually be able to hear pronunciation and watch their teachers lips. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I pray that some changes are coming soon.

I, Timothy Smith, a resident of Commerce Township in Oakland County, fully support commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by the OCHD, and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support any such health related mandates, like masks and vaccines. I fully support individual choice in these matters and parents rightsin determing what is best for one's own children. Regards, Tirnothy Smith Regarding Mask Mandate Brandon <bfs71821 @yahoo.com> m 9J3j2621 11:17 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what i observed last night. I am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election.

We need to keep supporting this mandate. My children have been virtual since this all started. This school year is the first time they went back. They have become so anti social that they need school and to be with other children. I was extremely nervous sending them but felt a little as ease because of the mask mandate. My children have 2 grandmother's who have major health issues and a cousin who is only 11 years old that they are very close to with a chronic lung disease from having cancerjust a few years ago. My children see them on a daily basis. These masks help protect my children and everyone around them. Please, I ask you to maintain the mask mandate for Oakland County and protect us all. I firmly we believe we can get to a manageable place in this pandemic, but it takes all of us working together to make that happen.

Sincerely, Dawn Collica Sent from my iPhone Rochester Hills Resident in Support of Mask Mandate Calvin Cheung <calvin.cheung@gmail.com> Pt 1 9/3/2021 11:18 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.mm> Please include this email in the official record of the September 2nd, 2021 Board of Commissioners Meeting. 1 wanted to send a message out in support of Oakland County's school mask mandate. Peer reviewed research has proven time and time again (as recently as 9/1/2021, in a wide scale randomized trial led by researchers at Stanford Medicine and Yale University: httos://med.stanford.edu/news/all- news/2021/09/suraical-masks-covid-19.htmll, that masks work in reducing the spread of COVID-19. As a father of two 'elementary age school children in Rochester Hills, I am eager for the kids in the community to get back to the in -person educational opportunities that our school district provides. If we don't take the proper steps to mitigate the risk of COVID-10 transmission however, we're turning a blind eye to the reality of the disease, increasing the chances of an outbreak that would result in remote learning once again. As parents, decision makers, and citizens who are rooting for the sustained success and growth of the children in the community, it's imperative that we continue to make science -based decisions that allow for long-term health in an in -person educational environment. As such, I implore the commissioners to support the mask mandate, and not capitulate to the politicalization of public health issues.

Thank you, Kathy Thorlakson Mask Mandate Gary S <garyds1974@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11:18 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Lisa Brown, I've received a text that mentions that anti -maskers showed up to a county meeting in droves, to speak about their displeasure of wearing a mask. I've tried to research this text and whether it is true. I've decided to err on the side of caution, and send this email anyway. The science supports masks, and a new study from Israel also points to great success from masks. Please protect the rest of us, from anti - maskers, and keep the mask mandate in place. I won't get into a 50 page fact vs fiction presentation, but the evidence supporting masks has been proven in surgical rooms, toxic areas, and many other areas. There are thousands of validated mask studies to support the use of masks. When we interpret data accurately, we know that masks help curtail the spread of the virus. I had a conversation with a smoker about the displeasure of second hand smoke invading my personal space, my lungs, my clothes, etc. IT came to light that my father, who smoked like a chimney for 41 years, died from all the complications of smoking. His final decade was a decade where his poor smoking choice negatively impacted my life in a myriad of ways. I didn't have to, but I felt obligated to take care of him because of his poor choices. I believe my non-smoker mother contracted cancer from his second hand smoke. My father's suffering was incredible. He couldn't breath, was on oxygen for years, while constantly fighting for air. Nobody deserves that punishment, but yet purveyors of the cause still purvey. My father cursed cigarettes and wished he had never started smoking as a teen. Hindsight is too late. The logic of the smoker is the same failed logic anti -maskers are using. Anti -maskers can choose not to wear a mask, but I can't choose to keep their contaminated air out of my persona! space. Anti -maskers feel they are being violated; which is their opinion. Pro -maskers certainly don't feel violated. Who is truly being violated? I would surmise nobody is being violated with a mask mandate. However, everybody is being violated if we do not have a mask mandate. Hindsight can't revive the dead, but foresight might prevent us from dying. In factual reality, anti -maskers are violating my right to be safe Anti -maskers are forcing those with weakened immune systems to fear for their lives. It is our duty to protect each other, and reduce risks. If we are going to think like anti -maskers, we might as well remove stop signs, traffic lights, smoke alarms, and all protective devices. In fact, I would prefer natural selection, but the illogical would never survive; if we let these weak and close minded complainers have force us into illogical decisions. Mob mentality has lynched slaves, burned witches at the stake, and even executed people with different religious convictions during the inquisition. Oakland County should rule in favor for taking any and all precautions to eliminate the virus. If the anti - maskers show up in droves, it's because the anti -maskers don't have enough common sense to stay at home; and avoid social gatherings. The turnout of anti -maskers is simply because they don't use logic in their decision making. These same people are road rage inciters, debate shouters, bullies, and mob rule mindsets. They can't process a factual argument correctly, so they believe opinions merit the same standing as facts. They will never be reasoned with. Please keep all mask mandates intact until Covid-1 9(Covid) is eliminated. My 7 year old son, and my 23 year old daughter have compromised immune systems. My daughter is in college, and my son in grade school. My daughter is on heart medication, and my son has asthma. If either of them should perish due to contracting Covid from non -maskers, what recourse would I have? We can't replace the lost ones who've contracted Covid and perished; from anti -maskers and anti -vaccine. Masks will help protect my children, especially while they are in school. We have limited controls in place to stop the spread of Covid. We need to use all of these controls to stop the spread of the virus. It is because of those who disobey the protective rules, who've allowed Covid to persist. if people would merely follow the rules for 60 days, we could drive this virus to extinction. Wind and air are unpredictable. It is not only the virus we have to protect ourselves from, but we must also protect ourselves from the unpredictable nature of how this virus spreads and is contracted. Masks are that protection. Factually, most people don't cure diseases, run validated experiments, aren't scientific researchers, epidemiologists or virologists. These highly educated folks wholeheartedly support any and all mask mandates Why is it that any of the opinions of the anti -maskers should have any merit in this discussion at all? Scientist everywhere have supported mask wearing. Let's put opinion aside, and use fact and logic instead. We have a society of people who fail to understand even the simplest logic, who distrust. A society too lazy to check facts before acting. A society where a few fear mongers prosper from snake oil, political fundraising, and fear mongering. Until we put laws in place to force people to use common sense, we will never rid ourselves of persistent health and safety risks. Until then, we must take any precautions we can to save lives. We have laws which protect us from stupidity in place everywhere, maybe we just might consider creating a new law to protect us from spreading the virus. Thank you for keeping the mandate in place as long as necessary, Thank you for protecting those who need protection. Please let this letter serve as support for masks in any past, present, or future meetings.

I do not support mandates, regardless of vaccination status, and I do support a parents right to choose what is best for their child. In addition, I view masking a vaccinated person as cruel, bullying behavior. It is not following the science. We were told that if we got vaccinated we would not be required to wear a mask!

This mandate is the only reason my children are enrolled in in -person school this year. My children were virtual all last year and we discovered that they critically needed to be in school. However, based on all relevant medical data, the only reason we were comfortable sending them was the mask mandate. Otherwise, they would have to be subjected to more emotional and academic anguish by remaining at home. We were prepared to withdraw our kids from our district and enroll them in online programs, but with the mask mandates, we were able to change course and have them go in -person. After only 4 days, we have seen a huge difference. My children are thrilled to return to the classroom. They are much happier and more successful at school in person. And they feel safe at school because they know it's a rule for everyone to wear masks. They are happy to do their part by wearing masks to protect themselves and their classmates. They have been very honest that no one is complaining and everyone is complying. It is amazing how resilient our children are, even in the face of a contentious adult debate. I understand there are strong and varied opinions on the topic of universal masking in schools. But the science clearly supports masking as an important layer of protection for kids in the classroom, especially among those like mine, who are too young to be vaccinated yet. As a resident of Oakland County, a concerned citizen and a parent, I wanted you to know that keeping this mask mandate in place is very important to me and my family. It is our hope that you will continue to support keeping all Oakland County students safe at school by upholding the current mask mandate as written.

The only way to maintain in -person schooling during a pandemic is to follow the layered protection strategies outlined by the CDC, advocated by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and strongly recommended by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services: httDs://www.michioan.aov/documents/coronavirus/COVID- 19 Guidance for ODeratina Schools Safely 728838 7.odf One of the vital layers in the protection strategy is universal masking in schools. It has been proven time and again that masks work to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and it has never been proven that there are any health or emotional risks from wearing masks. Children did so all year last year without issue, and any who cannot mask can opt to do schooling from home. Please continue your leadership in this effort, and uphold the mask mandate in schools.

Oakland Commissioners Meeting Michael Biehl <michaelrbiehl@gmaiLcom> Fri 9/3/20L'I 11:21 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> September 3, 2021 Ms. Lisa Brown Oakland County Clerk 1200 N Telegraph Rd Pontiac, MI 48341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms. Brown: i am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) " I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. 1 am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. 1 am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election. Shame on you!

To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <Cerk@oakgov.com> To Whorn it May Concern: I am writing to submit my email into public record regarding last nights County commissioner meeting. I would like to share my concern and extreme displeasure with the mask mandate placed on schools in Oakland county. I have 3 children in the Brandon School District, who was originally allowing for mask choice. This should be left up to individual districts to use data from within their community. To create a blanket mandate for all of Oakland County does not take into consideration the different smaller population densities of the northern districts. Parents have the right to choose what is best for their children's mental and physical well-being. Our children want to be back in person with their friends and teachers we love, but they struggle greatly with the masks for various reasons. Aside from overstepping into parents rights, the data has not been presented which has been used to determine this mandate. Based on public record, we know that through a FOIA filing as of 8/26, two days AFTER the mandate was made, that public data showed only 2 pediatric hospitalizations in Oakland County and Zero deaths under the age of 20 since the start of the pandernic. The entire state also seems to be under heat from the spread since there have only been 16 Deaths under the age of 24, and 8 of those (50% since I understand math is tough for many of you) were also associated with Pneumonia. This is with a population in the age group of 0-24 of 3.1 MILLION. (Covid-19 by age). This data shows that since the first of this year, children are not susceptible to this virus, and recover quickly. We know, while this is not advertised in mainstream media, that there are many studies that point to masks not being as effective as they are touted to be. It's a way to provide security and comfort in a time of fear, rather than accepting that humans are not going to easily stop the spread of aerosols using a cloth or even simple surgical mask. It's also important to point out that the rest of the state is not under a mask mandate. While it is recommended, it is not being required. While the rest of the county and state are allowed to attend concerts, sporting events and children are participating in activities and sports without masks, our school children are being subjected to wearing masks. How does this make scientific sense? We also see hat Macomb county, with similar data to Oakland, is leaving this decision up to districts and parents.

People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing normal about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have the chance to expedite the return to normal and that path includes universal masks in schools.

I do not support mandates, that act as law/order, that are implemented by unelected officials. Our voice as constituents is implemented through a democratic election process. When bureaucratic actors, like the Oakland County Health Division leadership, make law - the democratic process and our voices go silent. This is unacceptable, especially where as here, the law/orders are unfortunately being used for political gain and hierarchy. What makes this situation even worse is that the mandate of masking school children is not based on unimpeachable health and safety evidence. Rather, the school masking mandate tells ME what to do with MY children, in the face of facts that suggest school masking can do more harm than good. I believe that the health (including mental health) issues some children may suffer from being required to wear a mask apprx. 8 hours per day are greater than any benefit that a mask may (or may not) provide against virus. Therefore, it should be my (or any constituent's) choice whether to send their child to school with a mask. A unelected official should not make that decision for me. Thank you. Melissa A.

To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.mm> Oakland County BOC, I attended the meeting yesterday of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. I waited outside for 2 hours and it was clear that the majority of us waiting were not going to be ALLOWED ENTRY TO THE PUBLIC MEETING! We even had the sprinklers turned on us! I came home and watched the public comments on YouTube. So many county residents provided the science and peer reviewed studies that masks DO NOT WORK. I found the citizens remarks to be based on science and the God given right to our freedoms built into our Constitution.. Their stories of the harm being done to our students psychologically, physically and socially was heart breaking. Our children are being abused by the county officials instigating policies that are beyond their scope of power. This has got to stop. f must also comment on the behavior of the commissioners during the public comments. Whomever the black woman was who chastised the citizens for cheering quietly is unbelievably arrogant. There WERE deaf people in the audience and let me remind her WE ARE NOT CHILDREN AND YOU WILL NOT SPEAK SO ANGRILY AND DISRESPECTFULLY TO US!" The commissioners were elected by the Oakland County citizens. They are there to serve their communities. They were not elected to become dictators. They are constantly changing the rules, changing laws, changing meetings, meeting secretly and making ridiculous reasons as to why they had to fie, conceal and hide from their constituents. Like the budget, do they even have the LEGAL RIGHT to approve anything over $500,000 as I've been hearing? Based on continued disregard Of the citizens of this county, lack of financial transparency and efficient and ethical administration of this county, I have NO CONFIDENCE in the current administration of Oakland County.

Students should not be forced to breathe in increased levels of carbon dioxide. Decreased oxygen levels over time can lead to brain damage, and this is year number 2. Infection rate and illness is minimal in healthy children. Teachers are unable to see student's facial expressions. Students are unable to see teacher's facial expressions. Communication and learning is hampered through masks. Student's lose their identity of self and others while being forced to wear masks. Mandates are not laws. You should all know better than to harm our children. Parents should be making health decisions for their children, not the school or county boards. And this is by all definitions a health decision. Last year we were told that the students would not be forced to wear masks in school this year. I think we can all agree that the virtual path was not quality education for the younger kids last year, in regards to education or socialization. You are harming our children by forcing a medical device upon them that restricts breathing fresh air. You are responsible for this illegal medical decision against the wishes of the parents. If parents wish to choose masking their children in school, that is their choice.

Public Comment Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9/2/21 Jocelyn Cook <jocelyn.goodman@gmail.com> Fi i 9/3/2021 11:26 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Hello Commissioners, My name is Jocelyn Cook and our daughter is a 5th grader at Pembroke Elementary in Birmingham Public Schools. Even though the Superintendent of BPS had already instituted a mask mandate for our district as of August 16, 1 am grateful to the Oakland County Health Department for following suit and making it a county wide mandate. This decisive action is putting the focus on a consistent in -person, 5 days a week education, while doing all we can to keep our staff and students safe, healthy and learning. Our daughter with Down syndrome and a repaired heart defect is at higher risk for complications due to COVID. And she's not yet old enough to get the vaccine. Like many children, she thrives on consistency and routine. Having a consistent, in -person school year, even while masked, is way better than all the back and forth of last year. The only way to ensure that is by minimizing the spread of COVID and the more contagious Delta variant. The best way to do that is through the safety measures proven to reduce transmission, I implore you to continue to allow the medical experts, epidemiologists, scientists and data to inform and make the decisions for the health and safety of our community and not the loud, often screaming, bullying voices asserting their "personal rights". I'm discouraged to watch how masks have become such a divisive and political issue in a public health crisis. A virus killing millions around the world doesn't care if you're conservative or liberal or who you voted for. The only way we can make our way through this global pandemic is not through an assertion of individual rights, but with an understanding of our responsibility to each other. Keeping our students healthy and in school comes down to all of us doing our part, by making sacrifices for the vulnerable, and in that we are helping to prepare the next generation of hopefully resilient, compassionate and selfless leaders. Will you be a selfless leader and look out for our children, laying aside your personal preferences and listen to the medical experts? My family is looking forward to a great school year - in -person, five full days a week, fully masked as long as it's needed! Thank you, Jocelyn Cook Birmingham.

With the Delta variant's alarming communicability — it not only risks our children, it invites community spread. Please make indoor masking a requirement In our schools — at least for elementary school level - until every Michigander, regardless of age, has had an opportunity to be vaccinated.

To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Ms. Lisa Brown Oakland County Clerk 1200 N Telegraph Rd Pontiac, MI48341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) " I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissioners were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election.

The county health department made the call regarding mask mandates and I am very grateful they did, as this guidance kept the school administrators from caving in to a very vocal segment of the population that is worried about their rights and liberties. I worked within a hospital for 3.5 years pre -pandemic and my family is following the guidelines of the trusted physicians and other healthcare professionals at that hospital. They support masks to be worn in areas such as schools and their own facilities —as well as vaccinations —to control the spread of covid. Our schools should be at least as safe as our workplaces. (Remember, these are also the workplaces of the teachers, who should be protected as they fulfill their noble calling.) This mandate has taken so much worry out of what is sure to be another tumultuous school year for families like mine. Please protect it.

I was very disheartened and discouraged last evening when the Board tried to rescind the OCHD mask mandate for schools. The arguments that were brought up were uninformed and misinformation from almost all of the anti -mask group. The mandate set forth by the OCHD must be wholly supported. The science behind universal masking is very clear that this along with vaccination and other mitigations stops the spread of COVID -19 in our schools and our communities. Does this board care for the children in Oakland County? Do you care for the children in your own personal districts? Are you yourself a parent of a young child who is not able to get vaccinated or that is at high risk to get this very deadly virus? Universal masking in the schools is the children's best bet for staying in school and not going backwards to what we had to do last year. The children have the right to be safe and healthy when they are attending school This is not a political problem; it is a public health crisis and needs to be taken as such. Please with all due respect stop putting politics into this and think as a parent of a child who is immunocompromised. What choices do they have to give their children a meaningful education if as a county and community we don't take the steps to protect their child from a virus that's only mission is to mutate and spread? If you need more proof that this mandate is necessary, look at Ingham County. There are positive cases of COVID in every school district. Is this what we want to happen in Oakland County? I am curious as to what the goal is in Oakland County. Is the goal to keep children in — person all year or is it to have our hospitals fill with pediatric COVID cases? Is politics and keeping the anti -masker's happy worth making the children of our community sick? If the children are sick, is it worth them transmitting it to the greater community? Is keeping the anti -maskers happy worth more to you then health, safety, or eve someone's life? The point that was brought up last evening about masks not stopping aerosolized particles is true. However, that is not the point of the mask. The point of the mask is to catch the bigger droplets that hold more virus. The aerosolized particles don't hold as much virus so the don't infect as fast or at all. The people talking about PPE last evening were speaking of PPE that they use in COVID units. There is no scientific evidence that masks don't work to SLOW the spread. There was even a study done in Israel that says that mask work better than the vaccine to SLOW the spread. If masks don't work, why did we have little to no cases in the late spring before the state mask mandate got lifted? There is no scientific evidence that masks cause headaches or any other ailment that they brought up last evening. There is also no medical reason why everyone can't wear a mask. i am fully vaccinated; however, I still wear my mask in public indoor and crowded outdoor situations. Do I enjoy having to wear my mask all the time, no, but I don't think anyone does. My mask will protect others who are vulnerable in my community including the children in the schools. Others who wear their mask keep me safe as well as the rest of the community. I will say that I understand some people are upset that they can't see the children's faces or smiles. 1 only ask you as the board to consider the following questions and not as to how it will affect you politically, but as a person, a parent, a brother. sister, mother, or father. Are you willing to take the chance of your child or someone else's child being on a ventilator or in the hospital with COVID? • Is it worth losing your child or someone else losing their child? Put yourselves in their position and ask yourself what means more to you. How would you feel if it was your family member that was affected and having to watch them suffer? I have known people who have had COVID, and I also know families who are dealing with family members on Vents for 5 months and counting. I humbly ask you to keep this mandate in place to protect not only the children, but the community in general. Think as a parent and not a Politian. I ask that you remember that we are all in this together. We need to unify against the common enemy, which is COVID, it's not us against them. If we all pull together to do the right thing than we can get out of this and back to a more normal life. Unfortunately, it may never go back to what we use to know as "normal", but we can get close if we can put an end to this surge. Please don't let the yelling and the anger cloud your judgement and the science behind why we have this mandate. These people are not scientist; they are angry and frustrated parents who just don't know what to do anymore. I ask you that you follow the science and the advice of public health officials who study this, want to put an end to it and have told us that this is the way to do it. Please don't be the ones who cause sleepless nights and worry for those with children who are immunocompromised or even people with parents who are immunocompromised. I will consider the decisions you make, when I vote in 2022. The children don't have a voice, but I do, and I will use mine to stand up for those who can't speak for themselves. The Anti -maskers maybe loud, but science is quiet. Look into the quiet and find the truth that is out there, don't get wrapped up in the yelling and the anger. Please keep our children and community safe.

While we are all looking forward to the start of school, the tensions around this mask debate have divided our community in very unproductive and damaging ways. It is imperative that guidance about a health directive not be left on the shoulders of local school board politics, your role as a public health official should be making directives to ensure the safety of all of our citizens, especially for those youngest who are not able access the safety that vaccines have proven to provide.

Sent from my iPhone Not in favor of mask MANDATE Rebecca Paryaski <rebeccaparyaski@gmail.com> hi 9/3/2021 11.30 APJ To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <cerk@oakgov.com> Hello I'm emailing to share with the OCHD that I and my husband are not in favor of mask mandates. We have 7 children, and this past year and a half has taken a toll on all these children. We had two of our children develop bacterial pneumonia and my dr said it was due to the masks being worn all day in school. Two other children who'd never been anxious developed anxiety over the wearing of masks, constantly anxious that they couldn't breath well yet anxious of they pulled it done to breath freely they'd get in trouble. I also had one child who developed stripes breathing issues that had us at the dr for multiple tests to try and figure out what was going on for months then once summer hit the breathing issues stopped. Clearly her breathing issues that had her looking like an asthmatic were so to having her mask on and not breathing freely day after day. My children now have a mask exemption written by our dr as they also believe masks are harmful and the risk of masks use daily for hours far outweighs the benefits which seem to be none. The back of our box states it does NOT protect against viruses and illness yet we continue to push wearing them giving everyone a false sense of safety. My husband is a psychologist as well and has seen far to many anxious/depressed and suicidal young kids all the way to adults because of all this. It's terribly damaging and it needs to stop being mandated and give us the choice to do what's best for our family !!

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. As a principle, mandates should only be used in emergency situations when the risks are unknown and unquantifiable. In a free country, as time passes and data is collected the risks become more known and more quantifiable. As such, the public should be (and has always been) free to manage their own individual risks as they do In every area of life. The science should serve the ends of individual freedom and free decision making .... not the other way around. I believe that this principle should also dictate that edicts coming from unelected bodies within the government (yes even much vaunted health boards) should have strict time limits placed on them as well as very high bars of robust and rigorous peer reviewed science with specific citations and hard data relevant to any proposal or actions. Also, any implementations or extensions of orders beyond a very time limited emergency capacity should be required to go through an elected legislative body to ensure the people's will is recognized in a timely and meaningful manner. This would be a good faith balance of freedom and public safety. In this case, the science is clear. The illness has roughly a .3% CFR and is not a vector through - nor does it effect in any meaningful way - children.

This county is doing our community an injustice and we the people are not going to continue to stand by and let it happen. I realize you will always be in an impossible situation of not being able to please everyone; however, that is why you have been chosen to weed through all of the information and base your decisions on benefits versus risk.

Official Reading to 9/2/2021 Commissioners Mtg - Thank you for supporting masking. Heather Cleland -Host <heatherclelandhost@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11:32 Arvi To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Good morning! Thank you for allowing this to be read into the record. I was unable to speak because of the unsafe environment created by the people speaking against vaccination and masking, who refused to mask or social distance, and who were outside and physically confrontational toward any ordinary citizen attempting to attend who was not in agreement with them. It was not safe for me to go into a room where people were not masked, not vaccinated, and not even socially distancing. I am fully vaccinated, but I provide support to many vulnerable individuals and I cannot reasonably put them at risk given the presence of Delta V in Michigan. This is what I would have shared if I could have attended: I am a high school math and physics teacher, a mother of four, the spouse of a person with partial throat paralysis, daughter of elder parents (one of whom is immune compromised), and a member of this community. I live in Lake Orion, Michigan. I am hereto thank you for putting our community's health and safety ahead of interest groups who are against the bare minimum safety protocols to protect the members of our community. I am grateful to the Oakland County Health Department for taking measures to require all schools to mask and follow safety protocols. We need to stand together to help each other through this pandemic. This means all of us need to do what is necessary to protect each other. To help you understand: I am fully vaccinated as is every member of my family who is eligible for vaccination. However, my youngest son cannot be vaccinated, and I have a few family members who could not vaccinate, or who are vaccinated but are immune compromised. These protections protect them. They do not have a choice, and they are the most vulnerable members of our community. How can we not protect them? I thankfully work at a school that requires masking of all students and teachers, vaccinated or not. This means that those who are unable to vaccinate are protected if anyone contracts asymptomatic COVID. As most of my work community is vaccinated, mild cases are more likely than severe ones, which means we could unknowingly carry it to an unvaccinated person, who might end up hospitalized because they are more at risk of a severe case. I mask because I want my students to be able to be in class, and masking reduces the number of cases, the number of quarantined students, and increases the odds that we stay open and in session. The state has taken away our ability to switch to virtual learning this year. This is our best way to protect our student's health and education. These are our children. How can we not protect them? I have a son who is not of age to vaccinate. He is autistic and vulnerable. He understands the risk of COVID. He does everything he can to protect others and himself. He knows what it means when people refuse to mask around him. I do not mean their intentions— I mean the effect. If people do not mask, he is at risk. All of his friends are at risk. His family is at risk. He is my son. How can we not protect him? How does this all relate to the OCHD requirement? Lake Orion Public Schools, where my sons attend, has a policy that it will not require masks unless legally required to do so. If I take my child out of school, my child would lose all of the educational supports he needs due to his autism. If I take my child out of school, I would have to leave my job to teach him. All of my students (145 of them just this semester) would have lost their teacher less than two weeks before school started. Until the Oakland County Health Department acted and gave their mandate, I was in an untenable situation. How could I protect my community, my fellow teachers, my students, my family, and my children? This is why I support masking in our schools. It protects our children. It protects our elders. It protects those who cannot vaccinate. It protects those who are immune compromised. It protects all of us. It is only one part of a many layered effort to protect our community from this horrible disease. We have all lost people to COVID. We cannot lose more if we can prevent it. These are our people. How can we not protect them? Thank you for the strength in recognizing this is not a political issue. This is a community health issue. Thank you for protecting ail of us by supporting the OCHD in requiring all efforts including masking be made to work together to end this. How can we not protect each other? Thank you for supporting our community and all the hard work that you do. This cannot be easy for you to serve during this time. Please stay safe.

This decision should not be in the hands of the individual school districts or families. We are in a public health crisis. The mask mandate is absolutely necessary to keep our children, teachers and staff safe and healthy, and our schools open. My daughter is 8 years old and is not eligible for the vaccine. Her only line of defense against COVID-19 and all its variants is to wear a mask. Masking, in order to be most effective, must be universal (i.e., everyone in an enclosed space must wear a mask and wear it properly). The Delta variant has changed the playing field. It's highly contagious and, due to its airborne nature, lingers in a room well after the sick person leaves the same room. My daughter finally returned to face-to-face learning on Monday. I want her to remain seated in her classroom, where she will receive her best education and socialize with her peers. Please do not jeopardize my family's healthy and safety (and my daughter's continuity of education) by overturning the mask mandate in Oakland County. Thank you for your time and consideration.

MI 48341 Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Corrrmis;roner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter, Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no'; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us, One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having there all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves This mattet is about the health and safety of our children There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night, I am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election.

I was appalled to hear that the Board of Commissioners did not allow public comment at their meeting. And if true that the sprinklers were turned on the parents and families waiting outside that borders on criminal. i am a grandparent with two grandkids aged 3 and 16 months. How will kids that young learn to communicate( both speak & listen) wearing masks whenever they're outside their homes. I'm 67 with multiple risks yet I had COVID, survived and have antibodies.

I am a parent in Oakland County, and there is a whole population of children, including my own, who are too young to be vaccinated. Masks and other safety measures need to be implemented in order to keep all children present in school as much as possible. The current mandates also follow recommendations by the CDC, the AAP, the MDDHS, and countless other scientific and medical experts. This is a matter of safety. Not emotion. Not politics. I think we all agree that it is best for our kids to be in school safely and in person as much as possible. The mandates from the OCHD give us the best chance to do that.

To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.mm> Good Morning, I was informed that I could email in a public comment to be entered into the public record from last night's meeting, so please consider this my statement. My name is Mary Hood and I am a South Lyon parent with two children going back into school for the first time in almost two years. We chose to have them go virtual last year, but it was important for them to be in - person this year as VLP is a nice option, but not the same as learning in -person. I am disappointed that public health and safety has been so politicized. This isn't a conservative or liberal issue - this is a COMMUNITY issue. The fact is, schools will have a mixed community of vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adults in the halls with very little opportunity for social distancing. The counties without mask rules (such as Livingston) are seeing increased COVID cases and quarantines. I don't want to see that to happen to Oakland County schools. It seems masks have become a personal freedom issue. I've seen people compare them to child abuse and dictatorships. Don't let the rhetoric influence your decision. Please, let your goal be community safety. At worst, wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience for a few hours. At best, it's keeping our children and community safe. Please, for the health and safety of our children and community, keep the emergency mask order in place. Thank you for your consideration!

I live in Davisburg, my child attends Clarkston Schools. I am 100% for parents having a choice in optional masking. I am against our rights being silenced and over ridden in this decision as well as against mandated vaccines. I believe the masking of our children is doing more harm than good. Especially with data and information that was also shared last night in the board of commisioners meeting. I am one of the many voices who stand against mask and vaccine mandates. I respectfully ask that our voices & requests not be silenced. My hope is that all of our feedback will be accounted for and bring the change needed going forward for our children and our own personal decisions.

The last minute changing of the rules, the refusal to let more people in the overly spacious room, the turning on of the sprinklers.... it was all disappointing and shocking to say the least. The amount of partisan politics was frustrating to watch. As a moderate, I am sickened by the lack of independent thought displayed by certain commissioners. How in the world can any of youjustify this mask mandate while looking at the data? The data alone shows this is overactive and overreaching.

Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to liar-e our voices heard. Nonetheless, none Of tlrose tactics deterred anyone, though; ,oakine wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting, While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others toted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, come of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasmg) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Caveile thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of omchildren. Then wereplenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and fuum that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask.

My name is Amy Renner and I have two children, ages 4 and 6, attending a South Lyon Elementary school. I'm writing in favor of mandatory masking. Taking into account that elementary age children are all unvaccinated and do not have an option for vaccination yet, without masking we are not protecting vulnerable children. The Delta variant that is taking hold of many areas of the U.S. is highly transmissible, as I'm sure you all know, and is a greater risk for children than previous COVID-19 strains. Healthy children are having severe illness from the Delta strain. As parents and educators, we need to protect our children as best as we can and allowing for hundreds of children to go un-masked in the schools is not protecting them. Masks have become a political issue, when in reality they are a health issue. They are aiding in keeping our children safe, and that should be a main priority of educators and the school board. Please keep the emergency mask order in place Thank you, Amy Renner Official entry for commissioners meeting 9/2/21 Diana Scott <dmbs77@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:54 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Dear Oakland County Commissioners: As an Oakland County resident and parent of 2 children in Clarkston School District, I'm hereby submitting my official comment in support of "EMERGENCY ORDER (2021-01) FOR CONTROL OF PANDEMIC Educational Institutions - Daycares and Schools" on 8/24/21. I would have attended the meeting in person if I knew that the mask mandate could be in jeopardy of becoming rescinded!! I think most parents who support masks in our community had no idea this meeting was even happening! If we had known our numbers would have far outweighed the anti -maskers. We are so grateful that there is Mask mandate in place and we are able to send our children to school safer in person. I believe all health department decisions should be based on guidance from medical experts, NOT politics. Thank you for putting the health of our students, families and school personnel above all other considerations by issuing this mandate. Thank you for your integrity and courage to make the right decisions, while continuing to face strong opposition. It will keep ALL students, teachers, and staff safe. Public health must be a collective effort and cannot be left as an individual choice. I support the OCHD mask mandate in schools.

Very Sincerely, Jessica Babby Sent from my iPhone Date: August 25, 2021 David Coulter Oakland County Health Department: 1 am sending you this email in response to the recent decision to enforce face mask mandates for schools in Oakland County. I have included in the message below my findings that raise significant concerns, both medically and legally, of the current mask mandate. Masks are ineffective for the purpose claimed by the mandate, potentially harniful, and only authorized for use by an EUA. Masks are ineffective and in manv ways thev harm. It's a myth that masks prevent viruses from spreading. The overall evidence is clear: Standard cloth and surgical masks offer next to no protection against virus -sized particles or small aerosols.' The size of a virus particle is much too small to be stopped by a surgical mask, cloth or bandana. A single virion of SARS-CoV-2 is about 60-140 nanometers or 0.1 microns.Z The pore size in a surgical mask is 200-1000x that size. Consider that the CDC website states, "surgical masks do not catch all harmful particles in smoke." And that the size of smoke particles in a wildfire are —0.5 microns which is 5x the size of the SARS-CoV-2 virus! Wearing a mask to prevent catching SARS-CoV-2, or similarly sized influenza, is like throwing sand at a chain -link fence: it doesn't work. There has been one large randomized controlled trial that specifically examined whether masks protect their wearers from the coronavirus. This study found mask wearing "did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, the incidence of Sars-Cov-2-infection.i3 Consider also, that the existence of more particles does not mean more virus. Research shows less virus does not mean less illness. Dr. Kevin Fennelly, a pulmonologist at the National Heart, Lung and Blood institute debunked the view that larger droplets are responsible for viral transmission. Fennelly wrote: "current infection control policies are based on the premise that most respiratory infections are transmitted by large respiratory droplets- i.e., larger than 5 [microns] — produced by coughing and sneezing, ...Unfortunately, that premise is wrong.i4 Fennelly referenced a t953 paper on anthrax that showed a single bacterial spore of about one micron was significantly more lethal than larger clumps of spores.' Exposure to one virus particle is theoretically enough to cause infection and subsequent disease. This is not an alarming thought - it simply means what it has always meant, that our immune system protects us continually all our life., There have been hundreds of mask studies related to influenza transmission done over several decades. It is a well -established fact that masks do not stop viruses. "Part of that evidence shows that cloth facemasks actually increase influenza -linked illness."? Bacteria are 50x larger than virus particles.' As such, virus particles can enter through the mask pores, yet bacteria remain trapped inside of the mask, resulting in the mask -wearer continually exposed to the bacteria. Related to the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic, there was almost universal agreement among experts, that deaths were virtually never caused by the influenza virus itself but resulted directly from severe secondary pneumonia caused by well-known bacterial "pneumopathogens" that colonized the upper respiratory tract. Dr. Fauci and his National Institute of Health studied pandemics and epidemics and concluded, "the vast majority of influenza deaths resulted from secondary bacterial pneumonia."10 All parties mandating the use of facemasks are not only willfully ignoring established science but are engaging in what amounts to a whole school clinical experimental trial. This conclusion is reached by the fact that facemask use and COVID-19 incidence are being reported in scientific opinion pieces promoted by the CDC and others.11 The fact is after reviewing ALL of the studies worldwide, the CDC found "no reduction in viral transmission with the use of face masks,f12 Additionally, Children have been repeatedly shown not to be drivers of this contagion. It is well - accepted that children have a statistically zero chance of dying from COVID. The CDC shows the K-12 mortality rate from or with COVID is .00003.13 Any intervention, especially one that is prophylactic, must cause fewer harms to the recipient than the infection. Since children have the lowest death rate from COV1D infection, the cost -benefit of requiring children to wear an investigational face -covering with emerging safety issues is especially difficult to justify. Anthony Fauci was very clear that asymptomatic transmission was not a threat. He stated, "in all the history of respiratory -borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person.i14 Wearing respirators come(s) with a host of physiological and psychological burdens. These can interfere with task performances and reduce work efficiency. These burdens can even be severe enough to cause life -threatening conditions if not ameliorated.15 Fifteen years ago, National Taiwan University Hospital concluded that the use of N-95 masks in healthcare workers caused them to experience hypoxemia, a low level of oxygen in the blood, and hypercapnia, an elevation in the bloods carbon dioxide levels.16 Studies of simple surgical masks found significantreductions in blood oxygen as well. In one particular study, researchers measured blood oxygenation before and after surgeries in 53 surgeons. Researchers found the mask reduced the blood oxygen levels significantly, and the longer the duration of wearing the mask, the greater thedrop in blood oxygen levels.17 Moreover, people with cancer, will be at a further risk from hypoxia, as cancer cells grow best in a bodily environment that is low in oxygen. Low oxygen also promotes systemic inflammation which, in turn, promotes "the growth, invasion and spread of cancers."18 Repeated episodes of low oxygen, known as intermittent hypoxia, also "causes atherosclerosis" and hence increases "all cardiovascular events" such as heart attacks, as well as adverse cerebral events like stroke.19 Furthermore, the mandatory mouth mask in schools is a major threat to a child's development. It ignores the essential needs of a growing child. The well-being of children and young people is highly dependent on the emotional connection with others. Masks create a threatening and unsafe environment, where emotional connection becomes difficult.20 Informed consent is required for investieational medical therapies. Regardless of the lack of safety and efficacy behind the decision to require a child to wear a mask, it is illegal to mandate EUA approved investigational medical therapies without informed consent. Mask use for viral transmission prevention is authorized for Emergency Use only.' Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA, means "the products are investigational and experimental' only." The statute granting the FDA the power to authorize a medical product of emergency use requires that the person being administered the unapproved product be advised of his or her right to refuse administration of the product.23 This statute further recognizes the well -settled doctrine that medical experiments, or "clinical research," may not be performed on human subjects without the express, informed consent of the individual receiving treatment.21 The right to avoid the imposition of human experimentation is fundamental, rooted in the Nuremberg Code of 1947, has been ratified by the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki, and further codified in the United States Code of Federal Regulations. In addition to the Unites States regarding itself as bound by these provisions, these principles were adopted by the FDA in its regulations requiring the informed consent of human subjects for medical research.25 The law is very clear; It is unlawful to conduct medical research (even in thecase of emergency), unless steps taken to ... secure informed consent of all participants. 26 Furthermore, by requiring children to wear a mask, you are promoting the idea that the mask can prevent or treat a disease, which is an illegal deceptive practice. it is unlawful to advertise that a product or service can prevent... disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence... substantiating that the claims are true. 27 The FDA EUA for surgical and/or cloth masks explicitly states, "the labeling must not state or imply.., that the [mask] is intended for antimicrobial or antiviral protection or related, or for use such as infection prevention or reduction."" As you can see from the image below, masks do not claim to keep out viruses. Illegally mandating an investigational medical theragv generates liability. There are no efficacy standards on child -sized masks and respirators under OSHA, but there are proven microbial challenges as well as breathing difficulties that are created and exacerbated by masking children. Requiring children to wear a mask sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COV1D- 19, and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, a mask may very well put children at an increased risk of infection, and if so, having a far worse outcome.'9 The fact that mask wearing presents a severe risk of harm to the wearer should — standing alone — not be required for children, particularly given that these children are not ill and have done nothing wrong that would warrant an infringement of their constitutional rights and bodily autonomy. Promoting use of a non -FDA approved, Emergency Use Authorized mask, is unwarranted and illegal. This mandate is in direct conflict with Section 360bbb-3€(1)(A)(ii)(I-111), which requires the wearer to be informed of the option to refuse the wearing of such "device." Misrepresenting the use of a mask as being intended for antimicrobial or antiviral protection, and/or misrepresenting masks for use as infection prevention or reduction is a deceptive practice under the FTC. It is clear, there is no waiver of liability under deceptive practices, even under a state of emergency. As such, forcing children to wear masks, or similarly forcing use any other non -FDA approved medical product without the child's (or the child's parental) consent, is illegal and immoral. The mask mandate needs to be withdrawn immediately because the information presented above proves masks present no benefit in preventing COVID. To me the decision was not made in the interest of Health and safety of our children but more from a political point of view. I would love to hear why you initiated this mandate. It should be the individual's choice on whether or not to wear a mask.

Marciniak Resolution to Reverse Mask Public Order cgferrara@comcast.net <cgferrara@comcast.net> Fri 9/3/2021 10:58 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov com> Dear Ms. Brown, My name is Kara Ferrara. I am a resident of Oakland Township. It is my understanding that public comment regarding last night's Board of Commissioner's meeting is allowed until noon today. I do not support mandates. A parent has the right to choose what is best for his or her child. My son is a senior in high school. Thankfully, my son was able to attend in person school all year last year. However, I witnessed the negative impact the mandatory mask wearing of 7+ hours a day had on his health and wellbeing. Not only did his face break out from the dirt and oils trapped by the mask; he was constantly tired and, by the end of the week, totally exhausted by the inability to breath freely. Each day when I would pick him up after school, my son immediately would fall asleep in the car. By the end of the week, he would go to bed at 4 or 5 (often without dinner) and sleep soundly until the next morning. I know my son. This was and is not normal. I attribute this entirely to the lack of oxygen due to the multiple layers of material worn across his nose and mouth all day. This all went away in the summer where his breathing was not so constrained. My son, husband, and I were looking forward to a somewhat normal return to school this year without a mask mandate. It even started out that way since my son's school commenced before the unsubstantiated order issued by the Oakland County Health Division requiring masks for all schools in Oakland County. As was heard by many of the speakers at last night's meeting, this order was not founded in "science" and has had and will continue to have a detrimental impact on the health and mental wellbeing of my son and all other students in the Oakland County schools. As such, I am in total support of Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by the Oakland County Health Division. I respectfully move that it be forwarded immediately. Please leave these personal decisions to the parents who know what is best for their children. Thank you.

MI 48341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Corumissimer', Mectiog last night were mshvcted to do, in order m have out' comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you toot your attention and assistance with thin matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on. ironically only in the area of the lawn where we ivere all lined up, wailing to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt a( suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all staved and patiently and respectfrdly waited our hit to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we lenmed that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BLPORJt any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. A!1 the democratic Commissioners voted "uci', all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken belbre any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the mecting, without listening to any of us, One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to Ibis," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening. during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rafter than having them all focused and listening to what their constiluenls were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what wars being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should he ashamed of themsOws. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. t am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shaine on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to tight this, and you; Lind hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election. Shame on vast Renee Denta-West Bloomfield Resident Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone Mask Mandates at Schools Salisa Savel <ssavel315@hotmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11 00 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, This public health crisis has turned into a political circus, and the continuation of said chaos will only prolong the suffering of the pandemic. Our youngest children still do not have the option of being vaccinated. Their only protection from this virus is universal masking, cohorting, and social distancing in their schools. This will help them to be able to have an uninterrupted in person education, while protecting their physical health. I implore you to allow medical professionals to dictate policy and protocol when it comes to the health and safety of our community. We will not be able to look our children in the eyes and tell them we did everything we could to end this crisis if we allow political preferences to interfere with professional medical guidance.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. The amount of anxiety children are facing because of these mask mandates is mind blowing. The fact that they cannot breath their own free oxygen is reprehensible. The fact that people (Drs) would rather put children on anti anxiety DRUGS instead of letting them breath is disgusting. If certain parents want to have their child wear one, please let them. But to force each and every child to wear one when it should MY choice as a parent is a slippery slope. Please stop this and put our children first! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

My children attend the Brandon School District. On August 24, 1 attended my son's High school school schedule pick up and picture day. This was before the mask mandate. The atmosphere was light and of excitement. There were less than 2% of the students staff and parents that were mast at that event. Fast forward to August 31, 1 attended my sons middle school schedule pick up and picture day. The mask mandate had been put in affect and the atmosphere was different. You could not see peoples smiles, it was just darker. I feel that the masks are a psychological by barrier for the children and the staff. I noticed myself, an adult, it is harder to focus with a mask on. I worry about the suicide rates. They have increased dramatically. For children, middle school and high school students, the risk associated with psychological issues and suicide rates is much higher than a death related to the Covid illness. Studies have shown that even if children, or teenagers contract the illness. Unless they have multiple comorbidities and are very immune compromised, they will bejust fine.We need to remember that this virus still has a 99% survival rate. Why are we absolutely fundamentally changing the way we live for a 1% death rate. This is insanity. We cannot go on this way. My family of six have all had Covid virus and we are all okay.

It was great outside though. I am Julia Halstead from Rochester. I fully support Com. Kochenderfers resolution to remove mask mandates. As you heard during the meeting last night our children can suffer more from masks than they would from covid. I call on you to reverse the mandate and support parents choice to do what is best for their own children. I also call on your to keep freedom alive in this country and stop employers from requiring the vaccines and firing people who don't want to take it. They are still experimental and are not effective in keeping people from catching covid or lessening the symptoms. Please stop beaurocratic encroachment on our freedom. Sincerely, Julia Halstead Sent from my iPhone Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Mary Bashi <marybashi210@yahoo,com> Fri 9/3l2021 11:02 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Ms. Brown: i am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. I am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election. Shame on vou! We are simply asking for parent choice on this matter. We know what is best for OUR children, not others who had zero respect for us last night.

Also, that you simply do your jobs and follow the law and the constitution that you swore to uphold. It is NOT YOUR RIGHT to tell my children how to care for their health, it is mine. I was here last night for 4 hours. The behavior examined by this board of "public servants" was absolutely disgraceful and alarming. To tell people that are exercising their 1 st ammendment rights to freedom of speech that "demonstrations are not allowed" is ABSURD!! You ACTUALLY turned the sprinkler system on us in some desperate and pathetic attempt to I don't what?? Make us forget we love our children?? Let me tell you something.... we have had ENOUGHf! We the People are TIRED of being ignored by our government. We pay our taxes, we follow the laws, we are the ones who deserve to be heard and respected. It is the LAW in Michigan that our elected legislators are the ONLY ones that can make actual laws. These false threats of punishment are simply that, they are not real. I will tell you what is real. Science. What happened to that?? I have personally asked for the science that has drove you to make this unilateral decision regarding the health care and well being for my children... I have recieved nothing. 18 months and you all still think that we are going to just blindly follow your lead and not learn the actual truth. Well I have news for you, we are not as dumb as you think we are. The way that you have ignored the experts and citizens that stood in front of you with facts and passion last night was insulting and infuriating. You KNEW there were over a thousand citizens here that wanted to be heard but you once again changed the rules in your favor and voted BEFORE listening to anyone of them. Let me politely remind you, YOU WORK FOR US!! This is a travesty and all your actions have done is bring more people to our cause. We WILL be bringing lawsuits, we WILL be pulling our kids from schools, we WILL run against you and know this. We WILL win, we will NOT stop. This is the United States of America and freedom has always only ever been 1 generation away from being taken but that has not and will not EVER happen. We will fight! For all of us that were here last night and have called and emailed, there are at LEAST 10x more of us that feel the same way. Your divisive tactics are not working anymore. We know we are not alone. I will never be silenced, I will always stand up for what is right. I am BEGGING you, PLEASE do the same. Leave medical autonomy alone, let parents decide what is best for the children we bore and stop this government overreach before we lose what so many have died to protect.

My name is Will McAlister, and I am a parent of two children in the Oakland County school system. I lived in Oakland County and attended K-12 in Oakland County Public Schools. This has been a trying time, there's no denying that. But it's not more difficult for one side of this or the other. The reality is that this virus exists, and steps were taken in the 2020/2021 school year to mitigate as much risk as possible. By walking those steps back or eliminating all protocols, epically masks, from the 2021/2022 school year with no change in what kind of treatment is available for a student's health we're almost claiming the virus doesn't exist or at a minimum that it isn't a concern. As we all know 5-11-year-olds, which my children are, cannot be vaccinated at this time. 50, a mask mandate will help students from infecting one another, as stated in the research from the Health Order on August 24th Public education, and all the benefits it provides, is and should be designed for all students. And it is my belief that providing a safe environment is a part of that. Without a universal mask mandate, we put our student's safety at risk. I ask that you please honor the Oakland County Health Division mask requirement. Thank you for your time and commitment to our county. -Will McAlister (South Lyon) Official entry for commissioner's meeting on 9.2.21 Nichole Trzasko <nicholetrzasko@yahoo.com> }+i 3/20.-1 1105 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <cierk@oakgov.com> Good morning. I am begging you not to overturn the universal masking mandate in our public schools, at least until the vaccine is available to children under 12 and they can be fully vaccinated. My husband and I are both educators and we worry about our 2nd grader and 6th grader contracting COVID-19 either from one of us or from a classmate or school staff member. I'm confident I don't need to quote the science behind this as you are well aware, but even if my entire family masks at schooVwork there is the potential for an unmasked individual to pass the virus to one of us. However, if masks are mandated in schools the likelihood that my masked family contracts the virus from someone we have come into contact with decreases. Please don't respond to me quoting your guidance to schools that was published on 8/18/21, I've read it, and in my opinion it's the county taking the easy way out by not making a mandate that will be unpopular with the anti -mask population. Your guidance has so many contingencies and nuances to contact tracing that it's obvious you are hoping the schools will consider this and mandate universal masking on their own to streamline the contact tracing process. You know what the right thing is to do to protect those that are under 12, so why aren't you doing it? The state is even mandating it's employees mask, why are our children not important enough to continue to mandate universal masking in schools? Pre-COVID it was the county, not the district, that would make the decision to close a school if rates of influenza in the building were too high, why is it now the responsibility of the district to make health decisions? You represent and lead the health department, you should be making the decision on universal masking. Please make the right decision for the health of our children.

I do not support mandates, but rather support parental rights and choices for each child. In addition to the importance of parents making decisions for their children, I am basing this on a true scientific study in Ireland that showed no benefits to children in wearing masks, as they do not protect children from viruses, but do have negatives including lower Oxygen in the children, as well as higher levels of Carbon Dioxide. Also masks are breeding grounds for bacteria due to the warmth and moisture under the masks. Please consider this resolution.

Dr. Christina Tully Advanced Animal Chiropractic C: 248-953 -7895 B: 248-602-0807 Reverse the mask mandate — allow parents to choose Katy Nicosia <waskicat2l@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 '?'UG W To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> My name is Katy Nicosia, I am a resident of Clarkston. I fully support commissioner Kochendefer's resolution to reverse the mask mandate — public order issued by the OCHD — and seek to move it forward immediately. I believe wearing a mask should be a parent's choice to make for each child. I believe that the mask mandate is an overreach of public health officials and it is unconstitutional to take this choice away from parents. The decision to universally mask students appears political in nature, as there is not sufficient data to suggest that universal masking works to slow the spread of COVID-19, particularly while using the cloth masks that most choose to wear. On the contrary, there is a great amount of data to support that asymptomatic spread is not prevalent. This has been stated by both the WHO and the CDC. Therefore, universal masking of healthy children would serve no purpose. Instead, why not focus on children staying home when sick? Schools should allow for more flexible attendance policies and reward those who choose to keep kids home for a day or two "just in case" rather than mark children as unexcused. Teachers should encourage this by being willing to communicate with families on work missed in class and allow time to make that work up. In addition, as a certified Speech Language Pathologist, I would like to add that universal masking has negatively impacted the communication skills of children of all ages. Non-verbal communication is essential for children to develop positive relationships with peers and adults, particularly with young children who rely on facial expressions and nonverbal cues to learn communication skills. Masking blocks the effectiveness of communication and has put millions of children across this country behind in their language development. Although this greatly impacts those children 5 and under, the impact on older children and adolescents should not be overlooked. I am often reminded of this myself, when I am in a store and attempt to interact with someone who is wearing a mask, I often notice a great deal of avoidance of eye contact. Smiles are clearly not seen and small talk seems to have gone out the window. This is the society we have created with masks and fear. It is impactful on all of us. I urge you to reverse the mask mandate and allow parents a choice. Thank you for your consideration, Katy Nicosia Mask mandates Holly Watkins <hngwatkins@gmail.com> Fri 91/3/ 021: 11:06 AM To: clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov corn> Hello my name is Holly Watkins, I'm from Ortonville. I'm against mask mandates that was set by the Oakland county health dept. I feel the mask mandates are a one size fits all solution. My son who was in kindergarten last year came home everyday with his mask saturated in his saliva. It was from him sucking and chewing his mask. i don't need a doctor or any other medical professional to tell me that sitting in a saliva soaked mask eating it is unhealthy. I'm capable of making these health choices for my son. Below is a picture of my son's mask from last year. There is no way with this mask you're telling it prevented him from illnesses. We had other protocols in place to help the spread of illnesses. We had solutions like not sharing school supplies, or the different ways the school cleaned and the students washed their hands more. If this doesn't get resolved, I'll unfortunately pull him from school. I watched the meeting last night live on YouTube_ 1 was horrified that before anyone spoke, they voted. That speaks volumes. Regardless if you guys change this or not, I was told if you emailed before noon it will be on record. I want my sons mask to be on record. This isjust one of them. They were all like this. 14, v hngwatkins@gmail.com BOARD MEETING COMMENT Serene Shunia <snajor@hotmail.com> F❑ 9J3/2021 11,05 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Cc: Stafford, Leigh -Anne <staffordl@oakgov.com>; Mullan III, William L <mullanw@oakgov.com>; Weipert, Philip Joseph <weipertpj@oakgov.com>; Gingell, Michael James <gingellm@oakgov.com>; Spisz, Michael D <spiszm@oakgov.com>; hoffm2521@comcast.net <hoffm2521@comcastnet>; Joliat, Karen Patricia <joliatk@oakgovmm>; Nelson, Kristen D <nelsonkd@oakgov, com>; Kowall, Eileen T <kowalle@oakgov.corn>; Long, Christine A <longc@oakgov.com>; Markham, Gwen <markhamg@oakgov.com>; Powell, Angela Nicole <powellan@oakgov.com>; Moss, Charles Joseph <mossc@oakgov.com>; Gershenson, Marcia D <gershensonm@oakgov.com>; Miller III, William Allen <millerw@oakgov.com>; akcommissioner@gmaiLcom <akcommissioner@gmaiLcom>; Luebs, Penny Christine <luebsp@oakgov.com>; Smith Charles, Yolanda Renee <charlesy@oakgov.com>; Cavell, Charles Swiderski <cavellc@oakgov.com>; Woodward, David Tyrone <woodwardd@oakgov.com> Good morning, i am Serene Shunia, resident of Commerce Township. I fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support this mandate for children that makes absolutely no sense. I have been a school psycholgist for over 15 years and currently work in a local school district, Some of you do not realize what is actually occurring at school. While some schools are more lenient with breaks to breathe fresh air, others are not. There are teachers telling students that if they want to pull their mask down they need to enter the closet In order to do so. There are teachers who won't let kids approach their desk to ask a question even though they are in multiple masks with plexiglass surrounding them at all times. Kids are scared to get close to adults for fear of infecting them with a virus they are not carrying and spreading at an alarming rate. There are severely disabled students being forced to wear masks all day. It should be illegal to cover these children's mouths and noses and restrict natural breathing. They are entitled to free appropriate public education, but this is not an appropriate environment for them. Children feed off of socialization, facial expressions, compassion, empathy, and attention. These mask mandates are against all these things that help a child grow into a emotionally stable adult. These mandates are creating a health crisis far worse than the virus. I personally witnessed the corrupt nature of the board of commissioners last night. They refused entry to community members, reduced capacity of the auditorium to basically keep it empty, turned sprinklers on while people were peacefully gathered outside, and wouldn't allow even one person at a time to use the bathroom despite the fact that people were outside for hours trying to get in and speak. The board members were disgustingly disrespectful towards speakers. You have commissioners who were rolling their eyes, talking to others, using their phones, laughing, and worst of all LEAVING the auditorium. They should have respectfully listened to the community who waited hours for a chance to speak passionately about the issues at hand. Above all these things the commissioners voted before the public comment even took place. The meeting ended with "go attend arts, beats, and eats!" Why should this county encourage mass gatherings if we are in a health crisis?! You are blaming the numbers on schools and children when it's the adults who are the super spreaders, vaccinated or not. They are partying and attending mass gatherings by the thousands maskless, while children can't even sit at a desk maskless. Shame on you. Almost all of this board needs to be replaced with those that actually care about the community they serve. I am so disappointed to be a resident in Oakland county. These mandates were not set to protect and keep people healthy. They were set to control and push political agendas. They were also set by people who are not personally witnessing the current nature of schools. I hope time will bring change for this wonderful county that deserves far better.

The board of commissioners is not a medically trained entity and has little subject matter expertise to override health and safety directives from a health and safety organization. Plus, responding to pandemic mitigation directives with a personal liberty argument is simply illogical. The courts have been clear: personal freedom takes a back seat to public health and safety. One can drink, but they cannot drive drunk. One can smoke, but they can no longer do so in areas where it can be harmful to others. One can now enjoy pot, but they cannot bake it into brownies for the bake sale. Just because the opposition voices are loud, does not make them right. Please leave intact the mask mandate so we can keep our kids and community safe, give our doctors a break and end this awful pandemic and begin to heal not only our bodies but the deep rifts in our community.

This portion of my email is directly addressing Angela Powell. I streamed the board meeting last night and I felt compelled to reach out to you. Your outburst regarding the woman using ASL was absolutely the most hypocritical immature display. Here is the issue, "us people" are demanding we have the CHOICE of whether or not to send our kids to school in a mask. Hopefully you listened to all the "facts, science, and data" supplied yesterday. All we parents are asking for is to have freedom of choice because as parents, WE know what is best for our children. Not politicians. Now, YOU decided to be offended by someone using ASL. and because YOU didn't like it, YOU disrupted the meeting and demanded she stop immediately because you were "offended". Really. REALLY!!!!! Since when is using ASL offensive? Please, fill me in since I have a child studying it -as she cares for those deaf and hard of hearing. Lets be real- you didnt like the message being brought forth and decided to cherry pick a non -issue to try and deflect the real issue and THIS is why us parents are pissed. Hypocrisy at it's finest. If you were truly concerned about our kids wearing masks for their safety- the ASL outburst would have never happened. Also, if you truly believed in the efficacy masks and the imminent danger of Covid, yours would have been on your face as you addressed the concerned citizens before you. But that is not what this is all about, is it? and again you wonder why we are pissed? This portion of the email is to all addressed: I am a resident of Independence Township and have two children: one in Clarkston schools and one in Oxford. Over the last year and a half, I have watched my two children (14,8) suffer mentally, physically and emotionally from this "pandemic" and all its "rules". I want to let you know how this has affected each of my children so that you can understand why I have taken the time to send this. My 14 year old completed the entire school year virtually and thrived. However, as a competitive dancer, was required to wear a mask to do what she loves- dance. To my horror, these poor kids suffered in these masks- dance is an extremely physically demanding sport and these kids were left gasping for air, lightheaded, sometimes passing out and/or vomiting after performing a dance -all due to the masks. Also- for my child with ADD, her performing suffered as she cannot concentrate with that on her face. There is nothing normal, safe, or necessary about it and my daughter, who has danced for 12 years of her life, was at the verge of quitting because she couldn't take it anymore. After a glorious mask free summer, she transferred to OVA (oxford virtual academy) and is taking two in person classes at the high school. When this cowardly order was announced the night before school started, I watched my child suffer through her anxiety over having to wear a mask again. It affects her concentration and well being. She is also immunocompromised and unvaccinated and it is HER choice to be unmasked. My 8 year old attends Independence Elementary. She totally tanked on virtual and my not happy social butterfly started to become withdrawn, irritable and miserable with the lack of socialization. We allowed her to return to school, masked, as we weighed out the mental affects if we kept her home. The issue started the last three weeks of school. Firstly, one morning when we walked to school we had gotten there only to realized we forgot a rnask at home. My 8 year old FREAKED out and was TERRIFIED to go up to the school because she didnt have a mask. This is not normal nor is it OK! Secondly, Independence Elementary does not have air conditioning, so those last three weeks, she came home every single day completely overheated (dark red cheeks and face) and complained of headaches. On two occasions, she actually vomited in my car as we left the school! We finished the school year, but this is no way is okay. When masks were reinstated- Independence Elementary has done NO remediation for the heat issue and this being our first week back, she has come home again complaining of being hot and having headaches. I shared these experiences hoping they do not fall on deaf ears. This is a governmental overreach. The government does not parent my children. Please feel free to add my name, comments, and concerns to any cause that seeks to end this abhorrent mandate. Erin Werner Independence Township Support for Mask Mandate M GOLDSMITH <DMB_2@msn.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11 07 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> I am a resident living in the Clarkston community. I was relieved to hear the news of a mask mandate for Oakland County school districts and applaud the commission for this decision. As a teacher in the adjoining community of Oxford, I remember only too well the heavy responsibility I carried to keep my students safe. The Covid pandemic with its constantly changing landscape is a difficult one to navigate for elected officials who also carry that burden. No matter what decision you make, at least half of the people will be unhappy, so the best course of action is always to err on the side of caution and what is best for the common good. I believe an overwhelming majority of parents want their children back in school. Keeping them there and not having to shut things down when kids start getting sick should be the goal. Buildings opening with teachers and kids unvaccinated and not wearing masks goes against the research and advice of experts in pediatrics, epidemiology and contagious disease and completely defies logic. I understand a proposal was introduced to rescind the order. Thank you in advance for voting against it and standing up for the health and well-being of our kids and us dedicated teachers who have been on the frontlines of this pandemic these past 18 months putting ourselves and our family's health and welfare at risk.

I have 3 school age children (1 10 year old, 113 year old with special needs, and 1 high schooler), who all attend Bloomfield Hills Schools. Last year, the school district offered virtual instruction, and we kept all 3 of my children home for safety concerns, especially as, with his underlying health conditions, Covid would likely have been fatal for my 13 year old. Keeping them home was not really a viable option, but we did what we had to in an emergency. My special needs child has severe cognitive and physical disabilities and can't access or read computer materials independently. He required constant assistance from me; accordingly, I was unable to work. I was also unable to assist the other children. My high schooler failed most of her classes. My 10 year old suffered from depression without contact with other kids. We can't do this for a second year. Our kids absolutely need to be back in school, but many parents and kids are stripped of that option if there are not plans in place for them to attend SAFELY. The data is overwhelming that without masking, we'll see a surge of Covid. The health professionals at the CDC and MDHHS have told us in no uncertain terms that for there to be in -person learning, schools must "require universal masking for students, staff and visitors regardless of community transmission rate or vaccination status." Despite the blustering of some, this is not a matter of personal choice any more than seatbelts, or hair restraints in a restaurant kitchen. It is a matter of safety. My mask protects you, yours protects me. None of us has the freedom to choose to endanger others. We especially do not have the freedom to choose to endanger young children. Before the virus became politicized, it was a basic universal tenet that children should be protected at all costs. That tenet needs to remain our north star. Yet, with the health and wellbeing of small children at stake, there are school districts who are ignoring the experts, data, and science. They will not do what needs to be done to protect our kids without a mandate. We absolutely CANNOT leave this decision to individual school districts and individual families, or children absolutely will die. My 13 year old son has multiple, severe disabilities, and goes to a school full of other children with multiple severe disabilities, Wing Lake Developmental Center. 10 of our students passed away over the past year and a half because they are medically fragile as it is. One of these deaths was due to Covid. It is simply not true that all kids bounce back from this virus. The only blessing was that the student was home for spring break when the virus was contracted, and had not yet returned to the building, so there were no other students exposed. But that was a very narrow miss. If Covid were to hit this school, there would be many other fatalities. Many of the students are too young to be vaccinated (students range from age 3-26), while others over age 12 are too fragile to receive the vaccine. Because there are not many center based public schools for children with special needs, our student population comes from over 20 different school districts in the County. And they have siblings in those other districts. What each of these districts does has a direct impact on the safety of every student in Wing Lake, and their brothers and sisters. With some schools having students from multiple districts, and most families having children in multiple school buildings, no one school district or school building is an island and we cannot allow them to be addressed ad hoc. The choice for children of disabilities and their siblings cannot be to either sequester at home, or to risk their lives in order to go to school. Without mask mandates, vulnerable children and their siblings are stuck at home. With mask mandates, everyone can attend. When the politics are taken out of the equation, it is really a simple matter. Why would we not require this simple, preventative measure when so much is at stake? Thank you for protecting our K-12 children, especially Those with disabilities, by mandating masks in schools. You will never regret doing everything you could to protect the lives and emotional well-being of our kids. Lara Kapalla-Bondi Bloomfield, MI vuu ta,ereanvedam ,agr Rom mel,x nrm%MI'',rda.

I have also witnessed children wearing masks for long durations of time under a mask mandate. I, however, see the situation in a different light. I'm pretty sure that children sneezing, coughing, spitting and even chewing on masks is one very real reason why children are protected by them. Little ones don't have the knowledge or foresight to go and grab a tissue before sneezing or coughing. Just like I wouldn't make a child use the same dirty tissue all day, I would not make a child wear a dirty mask. Last year our school district did an amazing job providing us with appropriate PPE for all staff and students. Some might argue that sick kids shouldn't be at school, but we all know that it happens. Last year I made it a priority to teach outdoors as much as possible in the fall and spring (this is now an initiative I've been working to grow because it's good for all!) which helped so much with mask wearing. We talked about mask safety and worked to make masks as comfortable as possible. I was most worried about kids with sensory needs. Turns out chewing or) a cotton mask is healthier than chewing on an item that's been touched by dirty hands, etc.. I am also worried about glasses. My son wears glasses and that has been a challenge. Our librarian took time to teach his strategies to help them keep from fogging. To be honest, he's handling the mask better than me. Actually, I think in general, the children handle the masks better than adults. Please consider another Kindergarten teacher's opinion on mask mandates, although I can't quite understand how something medical is trumped by politics. Let me be clear, it is not easy to wear a mask while teaching. It is not easy to help kids wear masks properly. I don't enjoy it, but I do want to make sure my children and the children I teach are safe and hope to help to end this surge of COVID-19.

I fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask order issued by the OCHD and seek to move it forward, understanding it was referred to the legislative committee. I feel strongly that parents and people should have a choice. I had COVID and so did 2 of my children - the chances of us getting it again or passing it are SLIM to NONE! This is about doing what's right. We should not be forced into doing something we don't believe in, the science does not prove the effectiveness of the masks! My dr. has indicated that most of the masks we are walking around in don't work, N95's work, cotton 2 ply masks do not work.

I do not support mandates. f support parental rights and choice for each child and person. What Is the point on even hearing people if you plan to vote on a policy BEFORE nearing all public comments? You are a small group of people with a large group of people you are affecting. How would you like it if we came into your homes and told you how you had to wear your clothes and sit at your kitchen tables for hours at a time? If you truly allow yourselves to sit with the decisions you are taking out of parent's hands and the hands of each individual person to make as to what feels safe for their own bodies you would realize how absolutely ridiculous and wrong you are. Each person deserves a choice as to what feels safe for their body. Being a sexual assault surviver I have VERY good reason as to why I don't want something forced over my face, and very good reasons as to why I do not want anyone dictating what goes into or onto my body. That IS scary to me, and it doesn't matter if someone else thinks that is crazy because they are not me, and do not live inside of my body. As has been said previously many times at the meeting and other places. This is NOT a one size fits all approach, so please stop being insensitive and stop treating it as such. Allow people the freedom to choose what is right for their OWN bodies. I have 5 beautiful children 1 am trying to protect in all of this and they (not me trying to convince them) are very upset by this most recent mandate. Many tears were shed over this. It is not as simple as just pulling them out of school and homeschooling. ! have two special needs kids that DO need services by trained individuals with expertise I do not possess. In the mandate you've stated that kids with IEPs and 504 plans do not have to wear masks, but now what you have done is SHOWN THE WORLD they are different! What in the actual fuck are you doing?' I believe you guys think you are open minded people and all this shows me is that you are so limited and clearly greedy for the funding you are receiving in the state BECAUSE of adhering to a mandate. Stand up for these kids, stand up for your people, do the right thing, fight back, admit when you are wrong, stop fighting angry parents..... you wilf never win against all of us. You may think you will get us to submit, but we will always find a way. Eventually you will lose your funding and you will lose your position. i wasn't and haven't spoken out in anger up until this point (I've always been respectful and left my own personal issue with masks/vaccines out of it) because I don't think people listen to you when you do that, but I've reached my limit. You've messed with too many mama bears and too many kids. You're on the wrong side and it's so blatantly obvious. I hope you wake up. Jamie Downs "It's not enough to have lived.

This move tells me that it is NOT about the children but motivated politically. The CDC makes recommendations for a reason. They are the experts in the matter. This mask mandate isn't forever, however, we are in a worldwide pandemic, and therefore life cannot just proceed as normal (as much as we would like it to be). If the goal is to keep schools open so the kids can learn then we need to be prudent in doing what we know has worked and follow sound guidance by the experts. Not having a mask mandate will cause bigger problems. Schools will be shutting down for days/weeks at a time be staff and students will be in quarantine due to covid. Just look at what is happening in Tennessee. Ultimately, the children's education suffers. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT WILL KEEP OUR KIDS IN SCHOOL. Wearing masks is inconvenient and uncomfortable but if we get a handle on this crisis we won't be doing it forever. Kids are tough and will survive through wearing a mask, but will they survive if they get covid? My kids have a right to being protected while in school. I am in full support to a mask mandate. I want to be able to say to my children that we did EVERYTHING we could to end the pandemic. I will not be able to do this if we allow political preferences to interfere with professional and medical guidance Regards, Helen Naum Gill White Lake, MI 248-202-2500 NO MANDATES Darren Duffany <darren.duffany@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/J021 11:11 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> I, Darren Duffany, a resident of White Lake, fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. do not support mandates.

Returning to school in person this year was very exciting for them; a constantly interrupted learning experience, like we see in other states without mask mandates, would be extremely detrimental to their learning and overall mental health. The safety and mental health of our children should not be an "all sides" or politicized debate. Masks are a proven part of mitigation against COVID and recommended by every body with any authority on this subject. The fact that certain parents don't agree with experts in the field is completely irrelevant. Public schools are for ALL children and if we don't have policies to ensure the safety of all children, including the most vulnerable, then we are not serving out the mission and purpose of public schools. Please continue to keep our kids safe and in school by mandating masks for all Oakland County Public schools. Please don't give in to a minority of loud voices who, for whatever reason, suddenly believe they have more knowledge than experts who have devoted their lives to infectious diseases or physicians (just to name a couple of groups advocating for masks). Your leadership is needed in this critical moment in Oakland County.

People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing norm about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools.

Lisa Brown Oakland C'uurry Clerk 1200 N Tciceranit Rd Pontr ic. MI 48341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting —Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms. Brown: 1 am sending this emmt to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Couirois�rouer's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so di.sappoini c l that so many people were made to wait outside before heir, allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently tarred on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all Bred rip, waiting to enter the building Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing Our ability to have our voices Beard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though, soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meethtg. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BLF0RI1 any citizen testimony was given, and the vote was, unsurprrsit ,ly, tight down pain lines. All the democratic Coarnussiomas voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote k taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak'? And to add tastily to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet stilt connnuniry members, decided to leave the mstmg, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was obsetroed falling, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commnissionei Cavelte thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Coiminssioners, rather than having them ail focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was ben, ,aid. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. Chis matter is about the headti and safety of out children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentiated, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask By obset varon, none of that tesmnnuy was at any consideration by the Commessionets. i all, ashamed to bean Oakland Comity resident after what I observed fast night I am disgusted. i will continue to fight for then safety and good health. despite the corrupt, illegitimate, aid frankly illegal mask mandate tus Hoard of ('onunissioners has cinetly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue it) fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerons, unhealthy and harrinul mask mandate in place will lose yore scats in the nest election. Shame on you!

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child, Over the past few years we have seen destruction unlike anything in my lifetime coming from people yelling out, "Social justice!" Destruction that lead to closed down businesses, burned down neighborhoods and businesses, and death. And those who were participating in these actions were seen as heroes. They had no repercussions for their actions. Now look at us peacefully protesting, using all allotted resources we have, emailing you, calling you, letting you know our side, our peace, and we are called anti -mask. We are called anti -vaccine. We are called MAGA groups. You are putting a false label on people who literally just want choice. The media is bigoting us! I was very ashamed yesterday watching board members that I supported before, as a moderate, get up and walk out disgusted! I heard one female specifically saying, "Oh my God, I don't have to sit through this. I don't have to listen to this." As she walked out shaking her head disgusted, It's your dang job! Have you forgotten?? What I witnessed yesterday is why I am a moderate! i am at) independent I think for myself and I make choices for myself but what I witnessed yesterday is one side would not budge. It was cut like behavior sitting in your little plastic cubicles separated in masks. There was no eminent danger! The big rtue signaling has got to stop! STOP IT! You need to listen to the professionals! I received a phone call from one of the board members who told me she is very very very scared of Covid and she wants kids to be masked up indefinitely. Your fear is nojustification for telling me what I have to do in my life and with my kids. Stay inside and resign from your position if you are so scared. Again, because you're scared does not mean other people have to stop living their lives the way they want to. I believe many of you would have us who choose not to put masks on our young children thrown into jail. Please change your hearts! We are not dangerous, we are parents that want the best for our kids! The division has got to stop and choice must remain! CHOICE MUST REMAIN And a sidenote... We hate the Trump vaccine.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. I have reviewed studies and talked with experts in public health economics and epidemiology. Paper and cloth masks have so little effectiveness that they might as well be omitted. They aren't designed for an aerosolized virus, but to keep surgeons from sneezing large bacterial droplets into open wounds. The risk reduction is on the order of 2%, if worn properly. Further, I am concerned that wearing a mask over the course of a 7-8 hour school day could lead to an increase in bacterial respiratory infections as moisture accumulates and the masks turn into a culture dish. Please note this Swiss study - masks reduce COVIb risk by maybe 2-3%: httos://www.tnedrxiv.ora/content/10.1101/2020.10.11.20210641vl End the mask mask mandate Jena <jenaferb111@yahoo.com> hi y/32621 11:14 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> I am the Administrative Assistant at a small Christian high school in Southfield. I was thrilled when school started and parents were able to deride what was best for their children. Sadly, I was devastated after the second day of school to learn that the rights of parents to choose how to best care for their children had been taken away. And for what?! The statistics for the COVID recovery rate in children is incredibly high. Parents have never been told that their children must wear masks during flu season? Why are these mandates being placed on schools now?! I have had many kids in my office in the last week near tears because they are being forced to wear these masks for another school year. Their masks are distracting and disgusting, and science shows that they are not effective. I have had many kids come in to have a "breathing break" so they can take off their masks and regroup before being forced to cover their faces again. THESE STUDENTS NEED TO FEEL NORMAL. They need to NOT be afraid of their teachers and their friends, and for many kids, masks are a symbol of fear. PARENTS NEED TO BE ABLE TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN!!!

I do not support mandates, that act as law/order, that are implemented by unelected officials. Our voice as constituents is implemented through a democratic election process. When bureaucratic actors, like the Oakland County Health Division leadership, make law - the democratic process and our voices go silent_ This is unacceptable, especially where as here, the law/orders are unfortunately being used for political gain and hierarchy. What makes this situation even worse is that the mandate of masking school children is not based on unimpeachable health and safety evidence. Rather, the school masking mandate tells ME what to do with MY children, in the face of facts that suggest school masking can do more harm than good. I believe that the health (including mental health) issues some children may suffer from being required to wear a mask apprx. 8 hours per day are greater than any benefit that a mask may (or may not) provide against virus. Therefore, it should be my (or any constituent's) choice whether to send their child to school with a mask. A unelected official should not make that decision for me. Thank you.

Thank you for listening to the experts/doctors/scientists that specialize in these matters and doing what is best for our children. My two boys are very excited to return to face to face learning and my wish for them is to have a consistent school year and I believe the mask mandate will help make this possible. Mrs. Kowell, I have included you directly on this email because you are my elected commissioner and as your constituent, I urge you to follow the lead of the health experts and vote to keep the mask mandate in place.

If masks are not mandated, they will not be worn by many, and teachers and children in Oakland County WILL get Covid, and some of them WILL die. There will be dead children, children that YOU had a duty to protect. I am so angry that this is even an issue. We have made it this far (those of us that have), it's asking very little to follow the instructions of trained health professionals, especially until our children can be vaccinated. It's asking so little for you to do the obviously right thing, I'm ashamed for our county that i even have to.

Thank you for putting the health of our students, families and school personnel above all other considerations by issuing this mandate. Thank you for your integrity and courage to make the right decisions, while continuing to face strong opposition. It will keep ALL students, teachers, and staff safe. Public health must be a collective effort and cannot be left as an individual choice. I support the OCHD mask mandate in schools. Thank you, Levi Kroll -Levi (They/Them) Chookhenge Farm & Art Studio Find them on FB! [For Inclusion in the Official Record for Sept 2, 2021 Meeting] Support for the OCHD Mask Mandate Amy Drill <amy.drill@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:29 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Please include this email in the official record of the September 2, 2021 Board of Commissioners Meeting. My children attend elementary school in the Rochester Community Schools District. Before the mask mandate was announced by the Oakland County Health Department, the administration in our district announced that masks would be optional for students and staff and that all mitigation procedures and processes would no longer be used. Without an explicit and clear mandate from the health department, Rochester Community Schools was going to do absolutely nothing to help protect my children during an ongoing global pandemic for the 2021-2022 school year. In the weeks leading up to the OCHD mandate, I spent time preparing my children for how to address questions and the inevitable teasing that they would receive if they were some of the few children to show up to school wearing a mask, while simultaneously researching other school districts and looking at virtual programs to find a way to have a consistent, safe learning environment for my children. It is critical that this mandate is wholly supported. The science is clear as to why we must mask up in our schools. Universal masking is our best bet at keeping our children in school this year and avoiding another year of learning losses. Studies have concluded that masks are effective and note that masking works best when everyone wears them. One parent choosing to not have their child wear a mask means my child is less protected. School is supposed to be a safe haven for children where they are protected - mentally and physically - and that shouldn't leave the COVID-19 disease as an exemption. It's unfortunate that somewhere along this journey together, that public health, safety and science have become polarized and highly political. But, overwhelmingly, the science is clear. Vaccines work. Masking works. And I implicitly trust the medical experts, researchers and scientists who have dedicated their lives to infectious disease research who have published countless articles and studies showing the data in plain black and white showing exactly that. Please leave politics out of this, follow the science and listen to the experts who have worked tirelessly during this pandemic.

I support parental rights and the option to wear a mask or not. The evidence is quite clear that masking does not work and in fact, it may harm children. Beyond that, the science is clear that children under the age of 17 are not affected by this virus. There are 73 million kids in the country under the age of 17 and only 361 have died during this pandemic from covid-19. That is .0004% mortality, which for statistical purposes is zero. Get rid of the mask mandate and allow parents to decide for their own children if a mask is needed or not, based on their own situation. I have no problem with people choosing to wear a mask, but I want the choice.

Reverse the Oakland county mask mandate Brenda Kanona <brendakanona@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:31 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Hello. My name is Brenda Jamil, a resident of West Bloomfield, a wife, mother to two precious little boys, a clinical psychologist, and a very concerned citizen. I am emailing today for a very serious reason. I was at the board of commissioners meeting with thousands of other oakland county citizens fighting to reverse the mask mandate on our school aged children. I was not let in due to the influx of people, so I had to make sure my public comment was submitted today. The tyranny that has hit our state is unbearable, and these unconstitutional orders MUST end. The medical decision of children should never be handed over to anyone but a child's parents. No authority, expert, or government figure will decide what goes on and IN and children's body. Masks should be a CHOICE. Injecting ourselves with an experiment gene therapy is a CHOICE. Not the governments choice, no experts choice, not the states or any health department. OUR choice. Nobody but the father and mother that birthed these beautiful children of ours onto this earth. The fact that this mask mandate was issued a day/week before most kids start school makes many believe this was all a plan. Where are your hearts? Are you a mother, father yourself? The physical and psychological damage these children will suffer due to prolonged mask wearing is irreversible. Just because we don't see it with our eyes, does NOT mean it won't exist. Our children fear the air they breathelijifl They fear taking their mask off will get their peer or teacher sick. What have we come to? OUR CHILDREN ARE LIVING IN FEAR. Prolonged fear is trauma, and trauma is irreversible. All for what? The data is clear- masks are ineffective at STOPPING transmission of this virus, THUS any mandates for them are based on pseudoscience and an overreach of power. if we continue down this path, we will, without a doubt, raise a Generation of emotionless, narcissistic children who cant even hold normal conversations or work effectively in a group setting. These are notjust my kids. They are yours too. They are our grandchildren and generations to follow. Please, if you have hearts, my 4 year old beautiful baby boy doesn't not need his face covered up to attend preschool, nor does my 2 year old. This can end. This must end. I plead with you all to consider the short and long term consequences We already know our children even if infected will survive this... 0.008% chance of mortality here for our young ones. Wake up. STAND UP FOR MICHIGAN. STAND UP FOR OUR INNOCENT BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN who need us to fight for their well-being and freedoms to come. Don't they deserve that? They are the least infected yet currently the most affected. You can change that. Be that change. End the tyranny. Enough is just enough. We won't give up, the fight will never end. A parent will go through hell and high waters for their children. We the people arent going anywhere. REVERSE the mask mandate on our schools. Make it a choice. Let's bring Michigan back to it's prime again. God bless you and awake all your souls.

Some people will be unhappy, so the best course of action is always to error on the side of caution and what is best for the common good. PLEASE KEEP the MASK MANDATE!!!

Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 09-02-21 Jennifer McClure <teach79@comcast.net> Fri 9/3/2021 10:32 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov,com> Good morning, I was informed I could email in a public comment to be entered into the public record from last night's meeting, so please consider this my statement. My name is Jennifer McClure and I am a South Lyon parent with two children going back into school for the first time in almost two years. We chose to have them go virtual last year, but it was important for them to be in -person this year as VLP is a nice option, but not the same as learning in -person. I am disappointed that public health and safety has been so politicized. This isn't a conservative or liberal issue- This is a COMMUNITY issue. The fact is, schools will have a mixed community of vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adults in the halls with very little opportunity for social distancing. The counties without mask rules (such as Livingston) are seeing increased COVID cases and quarantines. I don't want to see that to happen to Oakland County schools. It seems masks have become a personal freedom issue. I've seen people compare them to child abuse and dictatorships. Don't let the rhetoric influence your decision. Please, let your goal be community safety. At worst, wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience for a few hours. At best, it's keeping our children and community safe. Please, for the health and safety of our children and community, keep the emergency mask order in place. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully, Brynn Cunningham Parent of two schools aged children Comment for September 2, 2021 Meeting tracyowens27@yahoo.com <tracyowens27@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:34 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> > To Whom It May Concern: > When the pandemic began, the lack of knowledge about Covid-19 justified the changes that we made in schools. That excuse has vanished. And Covid-19 is turning into an endemic that will never disappear and have seasonal spikes of multiple variants. We know the virus is less dangerous to children. Yet despite this evidence and despite the widespread availability of vaccines to teachers and other adults we are still masking children in school. Many Countries like The Uk, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand to name a few never mandated masking children in schools under 12 last year. Social distancing and masks hinder learning while harming children emotionally, socially, and physically, all for no purpose other than providing false comfort to adults. The rationale for forcing anyone to wear a mask is questionable. Wearing a mask might provide some protection for some high -risk adults in crowded indoor settings, but the scientific evidence on surgical and cloth masks is still out for review with no concrete studies having being done of cloth mask wearing. > A Mask can be a breeding ground for bacteria, mold and fungi, which is why the CDC recommends that a cloth mask should be washed whenever it gets dirty. Our children's masks are hanging around their necks at recess, dropping on the ground getting dirty and then being put back on their faces. The CDC also advises washing your hands any time you take off the mask, and then washing your hands again after you put it back on. Pretending that children or adults, for that matter are dutifully taking all these precautions is absurd, yet the CDC nonetheless recommends that everyone older than two should wear masks. This policy disregards the guidance issued jointly by UNICEF and the World Health Organization that Children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear a mask. This is based on the safety and overall interest of the child and the capacity to appropriately use a mask with minimal assistance. The groups also advised against masking for older children when physically active and are recommended in classrooms after consulting with parents and weighing the potential impact on learning and development. By hiding teachers' lips and muffling their speech, mask -wearing makes it harder for young children to develop linguistic skills and prevents children with hearing impairments from lip reading. Unable to rely on facial cues, teachers and students of all ages are more likely to misinterpret one other, an acute problem for children on the autism spectrum. How are children supposed to develop social skills when they can't see one another's faces? My child who is Autistic is being "trained to tolerate"his mask in his school according to our superintendent, even though he has a note excusing him from wearing his mask. How is it okay for my child's school district to disregard his medical doctors note? > Adults are supposed to ease a child's fears. Instead, our children are being raised in fear, fear of each other, fear of illnesses, viruses and even the air they breathe. We do not know the psychological damage that this will result in. > From a Concerned Troy Parent, > Tracy Owens > 50 Paragon Drive Mask Mandate Carolyn Powrozek <cepowrozek@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:34 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Dear Oakland County Board of Commissioners.

I watched the entire meeting last night (was unable to attend in -person) but was moved by all the public comments challenging the recent OCHD mask mandate. I found there to be much research, passion, intelligence, and thoughtfulness behind the vast majority of the comments, and commend everyone who was willing to stay and stand up to speak, as you could tell that many were afraid and uncomfortable in doing so. I am writing to say that I stand in solidarity against the mask mandate and am fully in favor of allowing parental choice, just as I would be against an order if it happened to ban the wearing of masks. I was also sad to hear about several individuals who have lost theirjobs based on sharing perspectives and/or not getting the vaccine. This is not the direction we should be moving in as a society. Please consider doing everything in your power to suspend/end the mandates. Recommend, but do not require. My children struggle to wear masks all day at school. We currently comply because we love the staff at our school and know that they are not in a position to change this...but you are. So please allow for choice when it comes to masking and other health -related decisions. Allow parents to sign waivers if need be. Please stop putting us all in this position.

People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing norm about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools.

Thank you. Karen Adams Commerce Township Reverse the Mask Mandate Michelle Bushey <paymi501@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:39 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Clerk, I, Michelle Bushey, a resident of Farmington Hills, fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. To date 4.2 million children have tested positive for Covid 19. We have a vaccine that makes Covid so safe and unlikely to anyone who has gotten it that the CDC and MDHHS don't even recommend quartining. So anyone over 12 who is afraid and wants the vaccine has had time to get the vaccine. According to the CDC website on Monday, August 16 children ages 0-17 account for 3,736,657- that is 15% of all Covid cases. Sadly 457 children have died from Covid. That is .0001223% of the cases resulting in deaths. In 2017-2018 the CDC estimates that 600 children without underlying conditions died from the flu. Did we mask for those children even though the flu was more deadly?? Nope! The media exaggerates everything- think of how many times they have told us to be ready to be stuck inside due to a snow storm and we only got a couple inches of snow. Imagine if we all actually panicked and called school on those days. The media is doing the same thing today with Covid. They've changed an outbreak into one case. ONE case! I implore you to look up actual numbers on trusted sites and then make your decisions. We teach bias in writing all throughout school and that our children need to be critical thinkers. We need to be too. We can all find articles one way or another to support our side. What we really should be looking at is the actual data- that has no bias. We need to take the data and then decide. Masks are no longer a requirement in our state- they are a recommendation and a CHOICE. Why would you require them at school for children when they aren't required anywhere else? They should be a choice for children too. Parents should be able to make the medical decisions for our children. It is psychologically damaging for children to wear masks and live in fear of a virus that is less likely to kill them than the flu.

I implore you to allow medical professionals to dictate policy and protocol when it comes to the health and safety of our community. I think it's ridiculous for politicians to get involved in what is clearly a public health issue. We will not be able to look our children in the eyes and tell them we did everything we could to end this crisis if we allow political preferences to interfere with professional medical guidance.

As a parent of three students in Novi schools, I appreciate that the current policy is based in scientific fact and that its goal is to keep schools open and students learning in classrooms. It recognizes that as covid is a respiratory vitas, the health and safety of all students is intertwined, and therefore universal masking precautions are necessary to prevent large-scale outbreaks. Thank you for taking a reasonable approach. There are many voices in Oakland County that agree with and appreciate your decision. While we are not as vocal as the minority who are in opposition to a science -based approach, please know that we stand behind and support you.

Common Sense Matt Wilson < mr.matt.wilson@outlook.com > Fn 9/3/2021 10:41 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> I'm a father of 4 children living in Oakland County my entire life. I've spoken at several school board meetings regarding various aspects of our current situation. What's currently happening is unacceptable and those in charge should feel ashamed for going along with the charade. In the beginning of the "pandemic" we didn't understand very much and a lot of data was still coming in. BUT now we have a lot of information and it cannot be ignored. US Census Oakland County Population estimated at 1,257,584 According to Oakland County's own statistics: Deaths 2,339 Percent of population died due to COVID-19 0.186% Percent of population tested positive (with insane amounts of testing for over a year) 8.72% 2,093 of the total 2,339 deaths are aged 60 and up. That makes up almost 90% off all those deaths. This brings the Percent of population died due to COVID-19, aged less than 60 years old down to 0.019%. I have to ask, with 0.186% of our population dying due to COVID-19 and 90% of those deaths are older than 60, why are we going to such extremes? We are blowing taxpayer money on policies, guidelines, relief and countless other effects on the population. You are causing untold damage to our children and healthy population for what; 0.186% death rate of an extremely deadly and contagious virus? Children are being masked even though not 1 single child has died from COVID-19 in Oakland County. This is the definition of insanity and somehow we have a lot of people going along with it. Are we following science or political science? Because it's very clear from those on the outside. We had a total of 5 cases of flu in the entire state of Michigan over the 2020-2021 timeframe. Please read that several times. 5 cases of flu in the entire state of Michigan over 2020-2021. I do hope you are praying to God for forgiveness and guidance because justice will eventually come.

Parental Choice Jonathan Gaska <jongaska@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:41 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> To whom it may concern, Thank you for taking my email statement for public record for the Oakland County Commissioners Meeting held on September 2nd 2021. 1 would like to start by stating that I have three children, 11 years old and under, who are part of the Brandon School District. They are clearly not being allowed a voice, so we as parents must be that voice for them. They've expressed concern and sadness over the mask mandate which was recently issued for Oakland County by the health department. Wearing them for the time required in school will be detrimental to them and their ability to properly socialize, read facial expressions and show visible emotion to what is being taught and interaction with their fellow students. A key ability in life is visibly reading faces to understand and comprehend the complex structures of social interaction and much of this is impregnated into kids at a young age, and mostly in schools. With that, we know that the decision made by the health department was nothing more than a political move to satisfy those in Lansing and do their bidding when those were taken away and showing them to be unconstitutional. There was not any data presented to show any evidence of why this decision was made. For instance, we know that through a FOIA filing as of 8/26, two days AFTER the mandate was made, that public data showed only 2 pediatric hospitalizations in Oakland County and Zero deaths under the age of 20 since the start of the pandemic. The entire state also seems to be under heat from the spread since there have only been 16 Deaths under the age of 24, and 8 of those (SO% since I understand math is tough for many of you) were also associated with Pneumonia. This is with a population in the age group of 0-24 of 3.1 MILLION. (Covid-19 by age). This data shows that since the first of this year, children are not susceptible to this virus, and recover quickly. Also we know that Per MCL 380.1307a. MCL 380.1307b. and MCL 380.1307h. collectively from The Revised School Code, Act 4S1 of 1976, this proposed action is a violation of Michigan law and would be a violation of our son's rights. MCL 380.1307b, provides a "Statement of Prohibited Practices" by any school personnel on school grounds and Section (H) states "Any restraint that negatively impacts breathing" as a restricted act. Further, MCL 380.1307h provides specific definitions under the Revised School Code Act 451 of 1976 and states "Restraint that negatively impacts breathing" means any restraint that inhibits breathing." A mask restricts breathing. Ergo it violates Michigan law. It does not matter to what degree breathing is restricted, be it minimally or a lot, as the law provides for no measure for an acceptable amount of breathing restraint; it outlaws all breathing restraints to be forced upon the student by any school personnel. A parent may choose to have their kids wear a mask as the parent is not school personal, but per The Revised School Code, Act 451 of 1976, any forced application by school personnel, be that by physical means or forced by coercion or threat of expulsion, would be illegal by this statute, which is what the mandate is forcing upon these school districts by expecting them to enforce this. Lastly I would like to state how backwards this is to mandate them in schools while our kids are out playing sports with large close groups, going to ball games downtown in packed stadiums without any restrictions, going home and playing with friends after schools, sitting together in restaurants in groups with large amounts of people around them, grocery shopping, traveling for vacation and holidays, etc. None of these are restricted within the state or local level, proving more that these are politically motivated and not based on clear and concise data showing that our children are at risk to this virus. Transparency is key, and your reasoning will come to light in the near future, until then, we will keep fighting for our children and the right for parents to choose how to raise them and what medical and health decisions to make, not our governments.

I am utterly embarrassed that our county would not allow the taxpayers and citizens of this county to be in the room during the board of commissioers meeting to review the agenda items that were discussed. In addition, am extremely furious that the board of commissions went through and voted on a resolution issued by Commissioner Kochenderfers regarding public mask mandate issued by the OCHD, prior to any rightful citizen or expert was allow to speak on the subject. There was over 300+ people standing outside and the trick they pulled on us to vote for this trash prior to citizens voicing their statements is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! We as taxpayers have a right to be heard and I do not appreciate commissioners who "decided" to walk out of the meeting because they didn't want to listen to the people that voted for them in the first person. We pay our taxes, the government serves "we the people", and we are not getting any representation in these meetings, at the district level, county level AND state level! I fully support the resolution to reverse these mandates issued by OCHD and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support these mandates which DO NOT stop the spread of an aerosol virus such as COVID-19, which was demonstrated by experts like Tammy Clark and Kristen Megan Kelly in last nights meeting. I SUPPORT PARENTAL RIGHTS and CHOICE for each child, and do not consent to have government to strip me away of my rights to do what is best for my child. In speaking on behalf of all us parents there last night and ones at home, this is only the beginning and we will get these masks off our children.

MT 48341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting— Held September 2, 202J / Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, ut order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. ]'hank you for your attention and assistance with this matter Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone. though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited ow turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the oppormrtity, to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't bave to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, ]net Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelte thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather that having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentiaied, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. T am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what T observed last night. I am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this, Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to tight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and hauid mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the neat election Shame on you!

You have all the data you need, you have made this decision once before. You know masks work! Why are we looking to change that now? Will this county really be held hostage to who the "loudest mouth" is? Our children's health and safety is on the line. My children have the right to attend school in a safe environment. My children live under policies that protect the greater good every day. They do not take peanut butter sandwiches to school or enjoy almonds or hummus as snacks to protect the children at school with allergies. They practice emergency lockdown and take cover drills to make sure all children and staff are safe from intruders wishing to cause harm. They practice additional lockdowns to show sensitivity to children who may be hurt or have an emotional crisis. Their school day is stopped if a special needs child has entered their classroom and is having an emotional episode. How is a facial covering more detrimental than these disruptions to their learning? Simply stated, it is not. My children participate in every one of these policies, including your excellent mask mandate, gladly and with understanding that this is not only for their own protection but the community around them. This is what my children's community needs for ALL children to experience a safe learning environment. We are still in the depths of a global pandemic that has changed all of our lives. It will not end without all of our communities doing everything possible to offer safety and protection to all. The ego -centric and social - damning arguments and demands must stop. It is time for our local, state and national authorities to take the lead and make sure the general public is protecting the rights of all. You have the authority and the civic responsibility to continue to uphold your mask mandate. Please continue to listen to the experts, health care providers and medical professionals who are desperately trying to advise the people with authority to keep everyone safe and lead us out of this pandemic.

WE THE PARENTS are the ones who will decide what is best for UUR CHILD/CHILDREN. The government, the county, the state, the schools do not get to decide what is best for my child. The mask situation should be up to the parents/families to decide what they feel is best. We will unite and stand up against this mandate. Please read my letter below on mp stance on this situation. I hope you will read below and take it into consideration to turn this mandate around and make it a CHOICE;! Almost all counties around us have made it a choice, Oakland County should be no different. Date: September 3, 2021 To \XThom It May Concern: I am sending you this notice, on behalf of myself for my son who is in Kindergarten at Oxford Schools. illy findings raise significant concerns, both medically and legally, of the current mask policy in place. Masks are ineffective for the purpose claimed by the mandate, potentially harmful, and only authorized for use by an EUA. Masks are ineffective and in many ways they harm. Its a myth that masks prevent viruses from spreading. The overall evidence is clear: Standard cloth and surgical masks offer next to no protection against virus -sized particles or small aerosols. iThe size of a virus particle is much too small to be stopped by a surgical mask, cloth or bandana. A single vision of SARS-CoV 2 is about 60- 140 nanometers or 0.1 microns.2 The pore size in a surgical mask is 200-1000x that size. Consider that the CDC website states, "surgical masks do not catch all harmful particles in smoke." And that the size of smoke particles in a wildfire are —0.5 microns which is 5x the size of the SARS-CoV-2 virus! Wearing a mask to prevent catching SARS-CoV-2, or similarly sized influenza, is like throwing sand at a chain -link fence: it doesn'twork. There has been one large randomized controlled trial that specifically examined whether masks protect their wearers from the coronavirus. This study found mask wearing "did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, the incidence of Sars-Cov-2-infection." 3 Consider also, that the existence of more particles does not mean more virus. Research shows less virus does not mean less ilhiess. Dr. Kevin Fennclly, a pubnonologist at the National Heart, Lung and Blood institute debunked die view that larger droplets are responsible for viral transmission.

Unfortunately, that premise is wrong"a Fennelly referenced a 1953 paper on anthrax that showed a single bacterial spore of about one micron was significantly more lethal than larger clumps of sporess Exposure to one virus particle is theoretically enough to cause infection and subsequent disease. This is not an alarming thought - it simply means what it has always meant, that our immune system protects us continually all our life.(, There have been hundreds of mask studies related to influenza transnussion done over several decades. It is a well -established fact that masks do not stop viruses. "Part of that evidence shows that cloth facemasks actually increase influenza -linked illness." 7 Bacteria are 50s larger than virus particles.. As such, virus particles can enter through the mask pores, yet bacteria remain trapped inside of the mask, resulting in the mask -wearer continually exposed to the bacteria. Related to die 1918-1919 influenza pandemic, there was ahuost universal agreement among experts, that deaths were virtually never caused by the influenza virus itself but resulted directly from severe secondary pneumonia caused by well-known bacterial "pneumopathogens" that colonized the upper respiratory tracto Dr. Fauci and his National Institute of Health studied pandemics and epidemics and concluded, "the vast majority of influenza deaths resulted from secondary bacterial pneumonia."to All parties mandating the use of facemasks are not only willfully ignoring established science but ate engaging in what arnounts to a whole school clinical experimental trial. This conclusion is reached by the fact that faeemask use and Co VID-19 incidence are being reported in scientific opinion pieces promoted by the CDC and others.t t The fact is after reviewing ALL of the studies worldwide, the CDC found "no reduction in viral transmission vdth the use of face masks."u Additionally, Children have been repeatedly shown not to be drivers of this contagion. It is well accepted that children have a statistically zero chance of dying from CCA ID. The CDC shows the h-12 mortality rate from or with COVID is .00003.uAnti intervention, especially one that is prophviactic, must cause fewer harms to the recipient than the infection. Since children have the lowest death rate from COVID infection, the cost -benefit of requiring children to wear an investigational face -covering with emerging safety issues is especially difficult to justify. Andiony Fauci was very clear that asymptomatic transmission was not a threat, He stated, "in all the history of respiratory -borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person." t4 Wearing respirators come(s) with a host of physiological and psychological burdens. These can interfere with task performances and reduce work efficiency. These burdens can even be severe enough to cause life -threatening conditions if not ameliorated.ts Fifteen years ago, National Taiwan University Hospital concluded that the use of N-95 masks in healthcare workers caused them to experience hepoxernia, it low level of oxygen in the blood, and hypercaptua, an elevation in the blood's carbon dioxide levels.to Studies of simple surgical masks found significant reductions in blood oxygen as well. In one particular study, researchers measured blood oxygenation before and after surgeries in 53 surgeons. Researchers found the mask reduced the blood oxygen levels significantly, and the longer the duration of wetting the mask, the greater the drop in blood oxygen levels.o Moreover, people with cancer, will be at a further risk from hvpoxia, as cancer cells grow best in a bodily environment that is low in oxygen. Low oxygen also promotes systemic inflammation which, in turn, promotes "the growth, invasion and spread of cancers."is Repeated episodes of low oxygen, known as intermittent hvpoxia, also "causes atherosclerosis" and hence increases "all cardiovascular events" such as heart attacks, as well as adverse cerebral events like stroke. Iq Furthermore, the mandatory mouth mask in schools is a major threat to a child's development. It ignores the essential needs of a grow ng child. The Nvell-being of children and young people is highly dependent on the emotional connection with others. Masks create a threatening and unsafe environment, where emotional connection becomes difficult. n Informed consent is required for investieational medical therapies. Regardless of the lack of safety and efficacy behind the decision to require a child to wear a mask, it is illegal to mandate FUA approved investigational medical therapies without informed consent. Mask use for viral transmission prevention is authorized for Emergency Use only2i F,mergencv Use Authorization by the FDA, means "the products are investigational and experimental" only.az The statute granting the FDA the power to authorize a medical product of emergency use requires that the person being administered the unapproved product be advised of his or her right to refuse administration of the prodactzsThis statute further recognizes the well -settled doctrine that medical experiments, or "clinical research," may not be performed on human subjects without the express, informed consent of the individual receiving treatment.24 The right to avoid the imposition of human experimentation is fundamental, rooted in the Nuremberg Code of 1947, has been ratified by the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki, and further codified in the United States Code of Federal Regulations. In addition to the Unites States regarding itself as bound by these provisions, these principles were adopted by the FDA in its regulations requiring the informed consent of human subjects for medical research.zs ,lichigan. The law is very clear; It is unlawful to conduct medical research (even in the case of emergency), unless steps taken to ... secure informed consent of all participants.-r, Furthermore, by requiring children to wear a mask, you are promoting the idea that the mask can prevent or treat a disease, which is an illegal deceptive practice. It is unlawful to advertise that a product or service can prevent... disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence... substantiating that the claims are true.z; The FDA EUA for surgical and/or cloth masks explicitly states, "the labeling must not state or imply.., that the [mask] is intended for antimicrobial or antiviral protection or related, or for use such as infection prevention or reduction."aa11s you can see from the image below, masks do not claim to keep out viruses. Illegally mandating an investigational medical therapy generates liability. There are no efficacy standards on child -sized masks and respirators under OSHA, but there are proven microbial challenges as well as breathing difficulties that are created and exacerbated by masking dildren. Requiring children to wear a mask sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COVID-19, ,and malting the consequences of that infection much graver, In essence, a mask may very well put children at an increased risk of infection, and if so, having a far worse outco111e21) The fact that mast: wearing presents a severe risk of harm to the wearer should — standing alone — not be required for children, particularly given that these children are not ill and have done nothing wrong that would warrant an infringement of their constitutional rights and bodily* autonomy. Promoting use of a non -FDA approved, Emergency Use Authorized mask, is unwarranted and illegal. This mandate is in direct conflict with Section 360bbb-M(1)(A)(ii)([-III), which requires the wearer to be informed of the option to refuse the wearing of such "device." Misrepresenting the use of a mast: as being intended for antinicrobial or antiviral protection, and/or nisrepresentinb masks for use as infection prevention or reduction is a deceptive practice under the FTC. It is clear, there is no waiver of liability under deceptive practices, even under a state of emergency. As such, forcing children to wear masks, or similarly forcing use any other non -FDA approved medical product w thout the child's (or the child's parental) consent, is illegal and immoral, Sincerely; Jessica Messano Parent of a child at Oxford Community Schools i https://www.jamanetwoTk.com/article.aspx?doi=10.1001/jamaintermned.2020.4221 2 Berenson, A (November 24, 2020).

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice of each child. There are no studies to prove that masks don't harm children after wearing them for long periods of time. There is much evidence to support that masks don't stop viral transmission, never have and never will. No one is telling parents that they can't wear the masks, if that is what they choose for their families. Where there is risk (breathing in more germs, blocking natural flow of oxygen, lungs are a detox pathway), headaches, brain fog, fatigue, depression, lack of concentration to name a few, there must be a choice!

My name is Kristin Stelmaszek. I am the parent to four Novi Community School District students. I am writing in support of keeping the mask mandate in place for the upcoming school year. Masks have been proven to help reduce the spread of illnesses, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that has cost the US nearly 650,000 lives to date. Cases in children are increasing and, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, for the week ending August 26, 2021, they represented 22.4% of reported cases, a 9% increase from weeks prior. If the goal is to get our students back into the classroom, shouldn't it also be to keep them there? A mask mandate will provide added non-invasive, non -pharmacological protection to our students and the staff. My children that are able to be vaccinated are vaccinated. We all wear masks in all indoor and crowded outdoor settings, socially distance when possible and practice good hand -washing hygiene. I fear, without a mandate in place, it will not be enough. Covid spreads through communities and thus requires a community -level response; for masking to be as effective as possible, it needs to be done by all parties. I appreciate your time and consideration in keeping the mask mandate instated as we start the 2021 school year.

I am a mother of three Rochester Community Schools children. This issue needs to stop being political and and needs to be about science and safety for all, and especially for the most vulnerable. If parents choose to not protect their children from an ever -evolving virus that will continue to produce new variants they have the option of having THEIR children stay home and be unmasked. It is shocking to see how many adults completely ignore the safety of our children and their families for their "freedom" to not contribute to the health and well-being of those around them. Due to the highly contagious Delta variant, the fact that children under 12 cannot be vaccinated, and that the number of vaccinated kids 12-15 is still lower than the general population, our kids need to be masked in school if we want to stay in person! In the south, there are many districts that did NOT have mandates and, after only a few weeks, are going back to virtual. This is not rocket science. We will repeat this cycle over and over of going back and forth from in person to virtual if we do not mandate. That is much harder on the kids than wearing a piece of cloth.

I have done my research in the efficacy of masks (because consumer grade masks are not worn, stored, or cleaned properly they do not have any efficacy to this aerosol virus) and therefore 1 seek to move Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution forward immediately. The industrial hygienists, doctors, nurses, and community members last night solidified my research on this matter.

I DO NOT support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. I find it to be very ironic that some of you support the right to choose when it comes to ending the life of an innocent child in the womb, but then turn around and claim to want to save lives, including children from COVID by demanding/ordering that they wear masks. YOU DO NOT GET TO HAVE BOTH SIDES, you are either for choice for everyone no matter what or you don't. Your actions will be remembered next year during election time, this I can promise you all. JULY 1, 2021 By Maggie Hroncich A new report published by an American Medical Association journal revealed forcing children to wear face masks leads to adverse health effects. JAMA Pediatrics, a top= rated monthlyjournal published by the AMA, found wearing face masks increases the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled air to unhealthy levels. The study measured carbon dioxide levels in 45 children ages 6-17 while wearing masks. The normal content of carbon dioxide in the air is 400 parts per million (ppm), with anything above 2000 ppm considered unacceptable by the German Federal Environmental Office. The JAMA report measured averages of 13,120 to 13,910 ppm of carbon dioxide in the inhaled air of children wearing masks, which is over six times higher than the unsafe threshold. The study further pointed out this measurement was after only three minutes of wearing a mask. Children forced to wear masks at school find themselves wearing masks for hours, five days a week. The JAMA report follows a larger German survey of over 25,000 children, which found 68 percent of them reportedly had problems while wearing facial coverings. "Most of the complaints reported by children can be understood as consequences of elevated carbon dioxide levels in inhaled air," the 1AMA study concluded. "This is because of the dead -space volume of the masks, which collects exhaled carbon dioxide quickly after a short time." "This carbon dioxide mixes with fresh air and elevates the carbon dioxide content of inhaled air under the mask, and this was more pronounced in this study for younger children." The authors of the study urged those who are forcing children to wear masks to consider the scientific evidence when making that decision. "Many governments have made nose and mouth covering or face masks compulsory for schoolchildren. The evidence base for this is weak," the study found. "We suggest that decision -makers weigh the hard evidence produced by these experimental measurements accordingly, which suggest that children should not be forced to wear face masks." Maggie Hroncich is an intern at The Federalist and a student at Hillsdale College. Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Justin Wiseman <wisemanjustin@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10,46, AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.mm> County Commissioners, data regarding infection rates, death totals and simple common sense should indicate to each of us that while not a miracle solution, wearing a mask makes sense. While it won't stop the virus on it's own, it is simply another tool to help minimize the spread; the spread from me to you, and you to me. Social Distancing, washing your hands, getting vaccinated, avoiding large gatherings, and wearing a mask are all simple things we can do to help minimize the spread of this virus. Please support the mandate to wear a mask in all public places, including schools. My youngest child is not eligible for the vaccine, and f must do what I can to protect him. We have opted to keep him in the virtual academy, over f2f education to avoid turmoil like this. This is not a debate about whether to vaccinate or not, it's about wearing a mask. Requiring mask wearing while inside a building or in group settings is NOT a violation of our basic rights. Do we protest when told "No Shoes, No Shirts, No Service"? No, because it's common sense. Do I enter a store wearing only shoes and a shirt - No, because not wearing pants is a crime. Not wearing, or improperly wearing a mask is the same as not wearing pants - a crime against humanity, a crime against civility and a simple crime against basic common sense, Regarding our classrooms - smaller classroom size to ensure safe social distancing is not an option in most situations, the barriers and partitions from last school year have vanished, one simple thing remains: wear a mask. MIOSHA mandates a safe working environment, I would argue forcing our teachers and staff to work in school without everyone wearing a mask is creating an unsafe work environment and every person who becomes ill should file a workers compensation claim for injury on the job. Wearing a mask is one simple thing we each can do to help ourselves, our family, and our community to continue in the fight against this latest surge COVID 19 and it's variants.

I think it's important to keep those in place for the foreseeable future and let me explain why. First, those that have taken every precaution from masks and distancing to vaccines and have been waiting to our kids vaccinated for the protection. If the mask mandates are removed our children are in danger! Shouldn't they have the right to be able to safe all the way through the same process us adults have. Secondly, can we put the "my body my choice" arguments behind us? This staternent in no way, shape or form applies to illnesses spread. This is a huge platform for the anti mask crowd. They seem to forget the time when one member of their household gotjust a cold and it spread quickly throughout the house. Thirdly, our district is scared to rock boat for fear of losing their positions. The schools have also scratched any social distancing guidelines and are allowing open seating in lunchrooms which will be hard for contract tracing. With the new CDC quarantine rules regarding masks and will have to miss classes you would think they would want as many kids as possible to show up. This would mean masks for all to minimize who and for how long is put into quarantine. Lastly, let's think about this from a teachers perspective. If there is no mask mandate let's assume 50% of students in the classroom will not be wearing a mask and teacher is, because they don't want to get infected and bring it home to their unvaccinated or immunecompromised child/family member. There will be division in the classroom, there will be no denying that. The teacher may have a hard time getting that connection from the unmasked because whether we want to admit it or not masks are now a political debate rather than a public health debate and that is wrong. So what should be and was once a unifying goal of staying safe and keeping others safe has now created a divide and selfish mentality. I thank you for your time.

I believe all health department decisions should be based on guidance from medical experts, NOT politics: Thank you for putting the health of our students, families and school personnel above all other considerations by issuing this mandate. Thank you for your integrity and courage to make the right decisions, while continuing to face strong opposition. It will keep ALL students, teachers, and staff safe. Public health MUST be a collective effort and cannot be left as an individual choice. Our youngest daughter is immunocompromise and on chemo infusions we had to do virtual learning for all four of our students last year to keep her healthy and safe. She also has an IEP and is dyslexic so learning virtually caused so much regression for her, we need our kids to be back in school but they must be there with everyone wearing masks. We as a community should be protecting each other not fighting with each other. Please do not bend to their bullying tactics. Thank you for staying strong, for our children.

I am writing to demand, Not ask that you reverse this mask mandate. We demand that you show the data that you have collected that you think Warrants the mask mandate. It does not exist and we are asking why you refuse to listen to all of the many, many highly qualified doctors, epidemiologists and experts that spoke to you, not just last night but also at other meetings letting you know how damaging these masks are and that they do not work. You are not the parents to all of our children and you have no right to try and force mandates on them. You are also not doctors and are not qualified to make this mandate and you obviously are refusing to look at all of the studies and listen to all of the experts in the field, because if you had you would not have issued this mandate. Do not forget you are elected and as such you need us for reelection. That will not happen unless you start doing what you were elected to do, which is make informed decisions not party driven decisions. Shame on you for what are doing to our children. The parents are on to you and will NOT be backing down, you will be hearing from us and seeing us at every meeting. We are not going away and will continue to fight for our children's mental and physical health and will not stand for masking. We live in America which brings us freedom of choice.

I would hope this is taken into account when making decisions as it is much more damaging to our children than any virus. I work in healthcare and have seen that these masks have done nothing to control any spreading of this virus. It's time to stop the madness and overreach. Our children need to breath and socialize.

Risks of transmission is low in children. Our children have suffered enough. This is the 18th month of this nonsense, and we are DONE. Our children have played with their friends, gone to stores, vacationed, all unmasked this summer. How dare you use our children as political pawns. How dare you demand that we cover their mouths with cloth. We have seen the pictures of all of you out and about in the community without masks on. We have seen the pictures of our Executive Dave Coulter at the Woodward Dream Cruise, in large crowds, shoulder to shoulder, without a masks on. Stop using our children as money makers for our county. Our children are NOT for sale! We will fight this until the end. We are not going away. We will vote you all out. Look at the facts. For example, the CDC states, "Neither increases in case incidence among school -aged children nor school reopening for in -person learning appear to pre -date increases in community transmission." The CDC also states, "In Michigan and Washington state, delivery of in - person instruction was not associated with increased spread of SARS-CoV-2 in schools when community transmission was low, but cases in schools did increase at moderate -to -high levels of community transmission. When community transmission was low, there was no association between in -person learning and community spread." According to the data on the Oakland County website, there have been ZERO deaths for children in Oakland County. Consistently, the cases for children have been mild. Consequently, for the transmission rates among children to be low and the risk to their health to be minimal, there is no need for masks. I stand by our God -Given rights and our Founding Father's principles for the Right to CHOOSE. It should be my choice whether my children wear a mask. Votes like this should be based on actual science, not on political gain and control.

Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matte. Following are my comments to be added to the record: " 1 was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before hem. allowed in to speak. I was especialiv disappointed in the tactics that wet e used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though, soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be gt anted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose ofhaving citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of as are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissionei, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening. during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Caveile thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should he ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners". I am ashauted to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. I am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safetyand good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has emelly voted to continue.

I send my girls to Shrine Catholic Grade School in Royal Oak, Michigan. Since March of 2020, we like so many other families have learned to endure the challenges the Covid virus has had on our community. It has not been easy on anyone but we have persevered. I am so grateful that my daughters are now back in sports and have had many experiences in Michigan this past summer to give them as much normalcy as possible. I can only speak for myself and my husband Tim when I tell you that parenting is the best and yet hardest thing we do every day. Some of our biggest responsibilities are keeping our daughters' self-image strong, making sure they eat well, that they treat others the way they want to be treated, and that they stay active in their day-to-day life. Their mental and physical health is my greatest concern. Last year in school my child was sent home for 14 days because someone in her class had Covid. Even though they were both masked. We now know more than we did a year and a half ago. My children have both been in school since Monday, they struggle to focus on learning in their masks. They complain every night that it is so hard to keep on all day. They cannot see friends smile, or share a smile with a new child in class. Which, I have to say for my third -grade daughter who is shy, this part is incredibly difficult for me to digest. On average they will be masked again for 35 hours a week and were both masked for all of last year while in school. Which for Shrine was the majority of the school year. I am asking you to let the people who want to wear masks, wear masks, the people like my daughter who has had multiple adenoid procedures and struggles to breathe in a mask, have a choice. There is nothing political about a virus. I wish that this had not become such a decisive issue. However, I am asking you to let us have a choice when it comes to masks. The same choice we have as parents, to protect our kids by choosing to wear a helmet when biking, limiting their social rnedia exposure, taking them to the pediatrician, teaching them to make good choices. The list goes on. The point is we make choices, some very tough choices every day to protect our children. But we have a CHOICE. I appreciate your consideration. Christine B.

Our children attend Lake Orion Community Schools (LOCS). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we chose to enroll them both in Lake Orion's virtual program last year. However, they have been longing to return to school in person this year with all of their friends. The Health Department Order has made that possible. Before the Order was issued last week, the LOCS administration had announced that masks would be optional for students and staff this year, and it would no longer use the daily Clear to Go screening process. As a result of the LOCS administration's irresponsible and unsafe decision, we felt we had no choice but to enroll our kids in the virtual program again this year. Now, with the Health Department Order in place, we feel far more comfortable sending our children back to in -person classrooms. We continue to be concerned about the LOCS administration's mask policy for its Board of Education meetings, which violates the Health Department Order. LOCS claims that under the Order, masks are not required at Board meetings because they are not being held in a building where pupil instruction takes place. This is a clear misreading of the plain language of the Order. As you know, the Order says "Educational Institutions", which is defined to include pre-K through 12 schools, shall ensure that all persons "providing service' to pre-K through 12 students wear masks "while inside any enclosed building or structure of the institution." It's clear that the terms "Educational Institutions" and "institution" refer to schools in the sense of the people who run the schools, and not in the sense of school buildings. (Surely you are not ordering school buildings to "ensure" that people wear masks). The LOCS administration building, where our Board of Education meetings are held, is clearly an enclosed building or structure of the institution that is LOOS. Our LOCS Board of Education's Mission is "Providing an exemplary education for all learners." Surely, in conducting public meetings to carry out that mission, the Board is providing service to pre-K through 12 students. Moreover, students can, and frequently do, attend school board meetings, and should be free to do so safely Students attended the last Board of Education meeting, which took place the day after the Health Department Order was issued, with immediate effect. Many of the "attendees" at that meeting (included within the definition of "Persons in Educational Settings"), including members of the Board itself, did not wear masks. And the Board president started the meeting by announcing that, under the Order, masks were not required to be worn at the meeting. This is an important point of clarification for an administration and Board of Education that has openly expressed its anti -mask views, and has, in at least two prior instances, violated governmental orders requiring masks. In June of this year, while the MDHHS Order requiring all unvaccinated persons to wear masks indoors remained in effect, the LOCS administration announced a "masks optional" policy in all of its buildings. This policy applied to students under the age of 12, who were at that time, and who still remain, unvaccinated. Throughout the summer, LOCS did not require masks to be worn on its school buses. Interestingly, of the 11 positive Covid cases the school reported on its website between June 28 and August 28, 5 of them were employees in its Transportation Department. I want to again applaud your efforts to keep Oakland County's children safe and in -person in our schools this year. However, I am afraid that our work is not yet done, and our vigilance is still required to ensure that the Health Department Order is enforced, both in letter and in spirit. While it is disheartening to see that so many individuals in our community are so willing to disregard the advice of medical experts and put our children and other, vulnerable members of our community at risk. I am grateful for the courage of leaders like you. Please know that I stand with you, as do the caring and responsible majority of our County's citizens.

We were kept outside when empty seats paid for by our taxes indicated your discrimination against these who disagree with you. As a grandmother of ten and mother of eight, I object to children being forced to sit in school all day breathing their own carbon dioxide that makes them sleepy and bored. What on earth are you thinking that could possiblyjustify such child abuse? We understand. You are being subjected to some type of pressure. Before Almighty God, please consider that your actions have consequences not only for the lives of other people, but also for your soul in the future. What goes around, comes around. Be courageous and stand alone if necessary. Do what is right and allow us our God-given Constitutional rights to liberty. Thank you, Sincerely, Sylvia Halpert 5290 N Livernois Rd Rochester MI 48306 Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Brandon Levitt <brandon.levitt@grnail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11.53 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, This is a tough time. I know you are in a very difficult position to have to examine and make decisions for the county in which you are guaranteed to anger a big portion of your constituency. That said, there is a logical and scientific response on both the medical and educational front to the school mask mandate. Mask mandates should remain in place for the following reasons: • One of the biggest reasons for universal school lunch was to eliminate the stigma associated to "free lunch" kids. By creating two groups of kids (mask vs no mask), we're creating a similar stigma for kids in either group. This either needs to be all or nothing and I don't reasonably see a way to mandate no rnasks. • Mask wearing is NOT a farriily-by-family choice for personal protection: Studies generally demonstrate that there is minimal protection to the wearer, with the exception of high -end N95s and similar respirators. Articles that indicate "masks do not work" conveniently stick to this personal protection metric only. Where masks DO work is in protecting OTHER people. In other words, mask mandates should stay in place as a measure of personal responsibility for their own germs and the resources they will demand if they get sick., https: www!.cd qov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/science-of-maskinci-full.rndf • Masks should be required, at the very least until the student body truly does have the option to self protect - ie when the vaccine is available for younger children. • Masks and eventually vaccines should be seen as supplemental to the existing vaccine requirements in michigan: httns://www.rnichioan.aov/documents/mdhhs/School Req for Parents 553547 7.Ddf. . • Other school districts have already started without masks with disastrous consequences. I think we need to go a few weeks before any new decision is made. "By week three of the school year in Marion, Ark., the district had counted 1,467 student quarantines and 27 staff quarantines. One hundred and twenty-three students and 14 staff members had tested positive for Covid-19 in the district which is just across the Mississippi River from Memphis, Tenn. It was August 13." • There continues to be the possibility that mandates will come from the state level. Rescinding this rule will only create more turmoil and more confusion vs consistency. • This is not merely about protecting students. Sure, the hospitalization and death rate for children contracting this disease is low. Would our community not rally to save even a single child from hospitalization or death? But beyond that the bigger issue is the teachers and the community that those children would infect, We see every year how flu, strep, and colds tear thru our community. But the covid-19 virus is far more dangerous and deadly and in places where masking is not required, is stressing medical systems and their workers to a level of people dying from even non-covid reasons because there was no more available care. • As much as people like to cite personal freedom here, Jacobson v. Massachusetts in 1905 not only affirmed the notion that the state could create vaccine requirements, but it also referenced the paradoxical nature of absolute individual freedom and how it would destroy freedom itself.: "in every well ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand" "real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own [liberty], whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others" In other words, as much as people may claim that their personal freedom of "choice" may not be infringed, the Supreme Court ruled over 100 years ago, that it absolutely can be in matters that benefit society as a whole and there are countless other examples of this. Thank you, I hope that you continue to act on the side of science, the supreme court, those that might be saved from hospitalization or death, and the medical workers that are already having to care for more people then they should have to.

Some poeple want to forgo safety, in favor of what they perceive of as normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in -person education to virtual education every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at -risk loved ones outiside of school. There is nothing normal about our children attending funerals of their friends, teachers, and loved ones. You have the chance to help us return to normalcy in a sane fashion, by not listening to the armchair experts, and making sure our children stay safe. These are turbulent times, where the willfully ignorant blather on about a "freedom" that they don't even understand. Let science, and not the opinions of a loud, and less educated minority help you arrive at the correct decisions, for our children's, and society's, sake. Thank you, Karlheinz O.

MI 49341 Dear Ms. Brown I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to ;rave our contents added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention oral assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added ro the record I was :,o disappointed that so many people were made to wail outaide before beu.g allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were, all hired up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; snaking wet m not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited on,., turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. Whil,. waiting. we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly. right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of cis are given the opportunity to speak'? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, lanet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. I am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has smelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seals in the next election.

This targets school age kids who are at the least risk of getting seriously ill while it allows vulnerable adults to make choices for themselves. Everyone should be able to make decisions for themselves and their children. Risk mitigation happens every day when a parent decides to allow their child to cross the road, ride in a car, etc. It is not the unelected Heath officers job to make those decision for parents.

Ready to speak, trying to be heard ... but we weren't let in. I know we got your attention anyway. When are you going to review the studies, data and information available that DOES NOT show masks as being effective, let alone safe for kids long term? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/08/the-science-of-maskina-kids-at-school-remains-uncertain.html Not to mention that the "uptick" in cases for our county has not warranted such a knee-jerk reaction, even if the masks were effective. But if it was as serious as it's being dramatized to be, it's becoming increasingly obvious as time goes by that antibodies are our real protection. httns://www.dailvmaii.co.uk/news/article-9925255/Just-1-Covid-survivors-Britain-reinfected-half-likely- V-mptoms.html Saying that this is "for the greater good" is not good enough anymore. Let me clarify, that if a parent or guardian chooses to send their child into the world wearing a mask, and the child is willing and not negatively affected by it, then that's their choice, and I support that. But this isn't like wearing seatbelts, or a helmet while on a bicycle. This is assumed to be the best course of action by overreaching government. I, Amy Cowley, a resident of Commerce Township, fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately.

Support Mask Mandate in Oakland Schools John Opfer <jopferj@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11:55 AM 'ro: Clerk, Reoister of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Oakland County Board of Commissioners: We were deeply disappointed to learn that a subset of the Board is supporting a resolution to rescind the Oakland County Health Division's mask mandate in our schools. To be absolutely blunt, the Board has neither the scientific nor medical expertise to play Russian Roulette with the health of our children. We've had a child in the hospital with pneumonia and we would not wish that experience on anyone. Our younger daughter is 9 years old and not yet eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination. Many other children are medically vulnerable or have family and friends at risk. It is a well -documented scientific fact that masks work the best in stopping the transmission of COVID-19 when EVERYONE wears them in an indoor setting. Families in our district, Rochester Community Schools, want their children in school, receiving fare -to -face instruction, in as normal an educational environment as possible. Wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience for most children and adults, and it is one of the best ways to ensure that our kids stay in their classrooms as the school year progresses. The OCHD, CDC, and American Association of Pediatricians all support mask wearing in schools. These professionals have devoted their careers to studying and mitigating infectious diseases. Those opposing masks have based their research on biased, flawed, and inconclusive scientific studies, hearsay they've found on the internet, or anecdotal stories of isolated mask failure. No one is saying masks are 100% effective, but they are MOST effective when everyone wears them. We need to stop debating whether individuals should have the "right" to choose not to wear a mask, and do what's RIGHT to protect the public health, in the same way we treat issues like nut allergies. Many of our schools are nut -free in order to protect the health of a very small percentage of at -risk students, because it's the right thing to do. A much larger proportion of our population, including every unvaccinated child, as well as any vulnerable family and friends they come in contact with, is at risk of contracting COVID-19 or passing it on to someone else. We have many laws in our society that are designed to protect the greater public good, like seatbelts and other safety requirements in our vehicles. They don't work 100% of the time but that does not mean they are not effective. It is beyond the purview of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to step in the way of public health experts. Please let them do their job and support the mask mandate, at least until every school -aged child has the opportunity to be fully vaccinated. Thank you, John & Jessica Opfer Rochester. MI Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Alison Abraham <ali@abrahamfam.com> Fri 9(32021 1155 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Please keep the mask mandate. I want schools to remain open and the students and staff to have some protection. We need masks! Our schools board members are receiving death threats and harassment. This needs to be handled at a higher level. We need our leadership to make the decisions that keep the community safe. Our children and their education should not be sacrificed. Alison Abraham 2002 Huntington Drive Lake Orion, Mi 48360 Concerned teacher Fedorinchik, Joseph <Joseph.Fedorinchik@oxfordschools.org> Fri 9l3(2021 11,55 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <cerk@oakgov.com> I, Joe Fedorinchik, a resident of Oxford and teacher at Oxford High School, fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. From a teacher and student standpoint, I have witnessed and experienced great struggles that mask present in the classroom. The number one thing that has been affected is the ability to thoroughly communicate. There have so many instances where these barriers disrupt the flow of leaning due to miscommunication, not seeing facial expressions, etc. From a teaching standpoint, I feel it has been much more difficult to get to know students. Any person in education knows that the better a teacher knows and relates to their students, the better they will perform in the classroom. Also, I have noticed that masks provide students a greater opportunity to isolate themself and avoid communication with other students all in all. mask mandate Rachael Elias <rachael.elias@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2.021 1155 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, If what we are fighting for is the value of children's education, how can we send kids to school without a mask mandate, knowing very well schools will shut down due to spread of Covid? People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing norm about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools.

Even more heart breaking in day care situations. The one EXPERT who travels to meetings to express her EXPERT ADVICE and who has not lost to a SINGLE JUDGE in court due to her expertise. Please have compassion and focus on the DATA - of children being so very unaffected by this virus and the MAJOR mental, emotional and social issues of blocking our children's ability to breathe and communicate easily. The public is not fooled. Even my husbands doctor acknowledged there are valid TREATMENTS and PREVENTIONS to remain healthy.., that are are being totally IGNORED by YOU - the Health Department. When my husband asked 'why', his doctor replied 'follow the money'. We all KNOW the funds the schools are receiving for our children. Funds that OUR tax money funds. Is that TRULY what you all desire your legacy to be ? And the detrimental effects to our children that YOU will be responsible for. We EACH will answer to the Great Creator one day for own actions. PLEASE reconsider the consequences of your not allowing EACH PARENT TO MAKE THEIR OWN GOD GIVEN CHOICES AS TO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE CHILDREN GOD ENTRUSTED IN THEIR CARE!!!

Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this,` and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect For those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. I am disgusted, i will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election. Shame on you!

I fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. Putting our children in masks all day long has health issues. They are breathing in their own sweat, dirt and bacteria all day. Increasing the cot in their bodies while decreasing the oxygen which lowers their immune system. 4.2 million children tested positive for Covid 19 in the last year and a half that we know of, only .008% of them have died. From the CDC's own data, the flu is much more deadlier to children than Covid. Yet we have never forced our kids to wear masks all day at school. This is not to protect the adults, they can all get vaccinated if they choose to. Please do the right thing and give parents the choice over their own children's health. Thank you.

We are asking you to present the evidence, the studies, the science and data, the proof that masks work to stop the transmission of a virus. You won't be able to, it doesn't exist. Nor will you put forth or acknowledge our real -world concerns of the harm mask are doing to our children's development, socially, mentally, and emotionally nor the harmful adverse long-term effects they are likely having on their overall health. I recommend you put forth the data, the science or present a PPE healthcare expert who can backup mandatory universal masking of children. Let's have the debate, or give parents and their children a choice. If not, you can expect to see your rolls dwindle over the coming months.

I believe parents should have a choice if they want their child to wear a mask or not. I believe there are tricky politics taking place and my children are being used a pawns in the game. I know this because the county one mile away from me does not have the same mandate and I can't believe a virus's contagiousness varies by county. I believe the risks of wearing a mask are far greater then the actual virus. The damaging mental health masks are causing will be much greater in the long run then the actual virus itself. Furthermore, I am dissatisfied that the commissioners would not even listen to a resolution at last night's meeting. I think that action is closed minded and overall petty. Thank you, Kristen Kennedy Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Heather Sharpe <sharp1 hm a yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11,54 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Commissioners, Last year, we made the difficult choice to keep our kindergartner home and utilize the virtual platform provided by our school district. As a family it was the right thing to do for our community, as we had the flexibility that other parents in the community did not have, for a parent that could take leave of absence from working and dedicate time and attention to our child. That action was to be a responsible and respectful member of the community and in return aided in decreasing the student -to -teacher ratio, reducing the risk of the number of exposure points that the in -person learning experience created. This past year was a difficult year for everyone. My daughter, who had attended Young 5's Kindergarten knew what she was missing. She missed her friends and was unable to make real connections via Zoom with her virtual "classmates:' She grappled with anxiety over the abrupt changes to her "normal". She struggled, but we made it through, knowing we were doing the right thing for our community and helping to keep everyone safer. This year, thankfully, the Oakland County Health Department made the wise decision to mandate masks for K-12 schools in the wake of the rising case numbers and more contagious Delta variant. I simply cannot fathom that this board would even consider attempting to circumvent the decisions of immunologists, epidemiologists, and medical professionals. What makes anyone on this board qualified to determine the scientific necessity of a mask requirement in reducing the spread of a global pandemic? The answer is quite simple, none of you do and this is simply a political ploy to appease the overly vocal minority. Stop trying to circumvent science and put our children (especially those who cannot yet be vaccinated) at risk. Shame on those of you who support this measure. Regards, Heather Rabinowitz Davisburg, MI Resident District 2 Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Keith Tillinger <keitht58@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11.54 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Via Email Onht— clerkrciloakaov.com Ms. Lisa Brown Oakland County Clerk 1200 N Telegraph Rd Pontiac, MI48341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate I first would like to state that I would not like to make this a political issue and keep it focused toward the argument toward having freedom of choice for our grandchildren and those who have children being impacted by the current situation. It is our Constitutional Rights, and you are sworn to protect and "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." There is much sound evidence and data published to support the disadvantages and dangerous risks of restricting breathing to any individual, especially in small children. There was much expert advice and first hand witnessing by Scientific and Medical personnel in attendance at the meeting held on September 02, 2021 which were not heard until after the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given. It is hard to not look at the obvious signs of this meeting not being anything of more than a political one. Those of us which were in attendance saw the tactics used leading up to and during the meeting (captured on video). It is an extreme disappointment to know that Oakland County in 2018 was ranked the number one county (ref. NACo) supporting Governing Management to, now, in 2021 Oakland county did not make the National ranking, it barely made number 10 in Michigan, again common link supporting governing Management. It is sad and disappointing to witness and see that the vote made by the majority of the Board of Commissioners has forgotten one of the most important functions of their job is to promote the general Welfare of its people. I was very disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside for hours. For those who were fortunate enough to be allowed in to speak and participate in the meeting, many considered our Hero's (front line first responders), were met with and treated with disrespect during addressing the Board. I would hope the Commission will revisit this issue, sincerely consider the information provided by testimony given, and reevaluate its decision to continue the mask mandate, with an unbiased assumption or influence, to do what is right. The commissioners must stand up and be the leaders who, with much evidence to support revoking the mask mandate, do just that — revoke the mask mandate. For the safety, welfare, and good health of our children.

Maybe they help maybe they don't. I'm not a doctor. I truly appreciate everyone's passion and respect the differing views. Each side can find a plethora of supporting documents/studies/ testimonials to validate their side. What we need is a win win... which is hard when individuals/ groups draw a line so hard in the sand. With the entire student population coming back to all of our community schools and the inability for good social distancing, or vaccination of K-6 grades the mandate is a sound decision, I support. it's getting us there cautiously..it gives the kids a chance of both S days a week school and some protection for all, the ones who can't get vaccinated yet. I think sometimes that point is lost. My look is for the win win... a threshold stated for the people in what the country is looking for to lift the mandate. Or even consideration of secondary education in public schools 7-12th grade having more flexibility in a few months since they can get vaccinated. At the and this day we are looking to protect the vulnerable in the public, public health... public school... Right now that would be your daycare, preschool up until six grade, ie those 12 and under. Who cannot be vaccinated. A parent wants protection 12 years old or older have a choice, they can get vaccinated. They have a way to protect their kids. The younger kids have no choice, no protection and that is where the public decisions needs to be employed protection of all. I have three kids.. one is 14 and was vaccinated, my middle who in two weeks will be 12 and eligible to be vaccinated and will be vaccinated and one that is nine that is not eligible I want protection for all of them to keep them safe. And right now all I can protect as a parent is my two children with a vaccine. Thank you for making the mandate. I appreciate it and I'm not upset. I just believe that thresholds and other options need to be explored for the older student population, in a few months after we see how things pan out from the new normal of everyone back to school, that do have a choice to receive the vaccine. If there is no vaccine option for younger kids then the mandate needs to stay in place for that cohort. That to me sounds like a win -win.

Brooke Bally <ballybrooke@yahoo.com> Fri 91"12021 12,00 PM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> My name is Brooke Bally and I reside in Southfield. I have personally been effected by wearing a mask, I have had a very bad reaction to the mask causing my face to flare up with eczema and even impetigo. As a student at University of Detroit Mercy I was told I had to get the vaccine and if not I would not be able to attend school period and would not be able to get a higher education. I was not ready to receive a vaccine that is one unethical to even mandate and two still in CLINICAL TRIALS where in my 19 years did i sign up to be a guinea pig for the FDA and CDC. I would love for someone to tell me I could've not gotten it and my response to that is how I am supposed to better myself without access to education. My right to education would've been taken from me. Now I'm forced to wear a mask on top of getting the shot when masks are not required anywhere else for vaccinated people. Now I am hearing my niece and nephew are forced to wear a mask all day at school. This has caused anxiety in my 7 year old niece. Kids are scared they will get in trouble for taking the mask off at school. Being sent to the office and singled out for taking it off. I am with the parents of oakland county and do NOT support the mandate of masks for ANYONE especially children.

I am submitting this separately from my comments for the meeting last night, because is in response to the unsafe environment for attendance to the Commissioners Meeting. Last night's meeting was overwhelmed with individuals who were unwilling to honor the minimal protocols of social distancing and masking, which meant ordinary citizens could not attend because it was not safe. They sat next to each other and without masking. I would like to propose that masking be required and enforced at Commissioners Meetings to allow all individuals to participate. If someone does not wish to mask, perhaps a room could be provided for them to speak virtually. If they are unwilling to be respectful of others and protect others they should not be allowed into the auditorium. Masking for a short meeting is a minor inconvenience. Refusing to mask puts others at risk of illness, which is notjust an inconvenience but a threat to life. It also is unfair to put commissioners at risk along with ordinary citizens who just want to speak. Secondly, I would like to propose security outside to protect ordinary citizens who are able to attend and speak. It would help for regular attendees to be protected against threats, pushing, and being followed out. It is not reasonable to expect regular citizens to attend in this kind of environment.

It is not the governments decision to make any decisions without knowing the medical history of my children. My entire family has had COVID already and as stated by the Surgeon General "If you have had COVID already it is possible to get it again but it is NOT common". The data does not support the massive force of masks. If you watch the FB videos of children waiting to board school buses across the district, you would be horrified of the improper use of masks. III fitting masks, children touching their mask and then touching everything on the buses. Parents need to make these choices. Not government.

MI 48341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting— Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attenton and assistance with this matter. Following are my continents to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. i was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though: soaking wet of not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "ycs." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing)'I don't have to listen to this," and walked out, Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this Litter lack of respect for those of Lis who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what 1 observed last night. 1 am disgusted 1 will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force."

Last night you heard from doctors and nurses about the science. And you heard from parents about the freedom of choice. If that wasn't enough to open your eyes to this tyranny, maybe the law will. There is already an existing law (MCL 380.1307b) that prohibits the Health Division's mask mandate. The law is clear and every Commissioner that voted to uphold the mandate is complicit in this crime.

I support parental rights and choice for each child and family. Do you know what hypoxia and hypoxemia are? They are a chronic state of low -oxygen of the blood and organs. For people with this condition, masking introduces a serious risk. To balance this very specific and very real risk with the fact that there is fear, though not facts, supporting asymptomatic transmission of Covid doesn't make sense. However, we don't need to debate the science or facts. We can simply acknowledge there are different views, opinions, as well as different medical histories, biodiversity that exists, and religious beliefs (which are deeply held - if people practice a religion that tells them they must cover their face, hair, and skin other than their eyes in order worship their God, does it not stand that God, who breathed life into us and shines His face upon us, that others may need to worship and practice their religion in their daily life withOUT covering their face? Why is one an acceptable religious practice, but not the other?) are all disparities that make individual considerations critical in the wearing of masks. Mask mandates are one -size fits all, and don't take into consideration individual medical and health considerations (and, no, doctors will not write medical exemptions), and religious beliefs, which are relevant and critical to practice of our constitutional rights to practice our religion. Also, public health mandates should be during an emergency only, if then. Otherwise, families, parents, and doctors should make decisions for their health, risks, and related topics. You are far overreaching into personal lives, medical, health, and religious status of people you are supposed to be representing. Did the folks that took time to show their perspective impact you at all yesterday? Please reflect on why are in office - to represent your constituents. Listen to us now, we aren't in an emergency, we do not need mandates, nor are they warranted. Leave the people to decide, believe in people, and remember your humanity. One -size all doesn't work and isn't appropriate in nearly any situation, but certainly not this one. Kelly Genzlinger 248-379-5793 1684 W. Lincoln, Birmingham, MI 48009 BOC meeting mask mandate Christian Schmidt <schmidtcp3@yahoo.com> Fri 9/01/2021 11.57 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> I, Christian Schmidt, from Waterford Township do not agree with the mask mandate. Our superintendent said masks would be optional and then not even a week before school a mask mandate was issued by OCHD. The passing time between classes is 5 minutes so they are not around one person more than 15 minutes. Also when they are sitting in class there is no reason that they have to be worn because they are spread out with their own desks. Middle and high school kids are able to get the vaccine so having a mask mandate makes no sense. Our kids need to be able to breathe, especially during sports and the decisions should be left up to the parents. Reverse the mask mandate.

I simply ask that you rescind this mandate. That you put due pressure on the necessary process to remove the force of government on what should be parental choice.

Based on my research and the language of the order itself, it appears there is no legal enforceability of this "order". Rather, it reads like it's a suggestion suggestion disguised as an order, thus no section of pursuant to section xxxx of mcl 333.xxxx. This implies that it was done as nothing more than smoke and mirrors to shift blame from school board to county health department. But where is the legal enforceability? What happens if a school doesn't comply? I'd like specific mcl statues that demonstrate the health departments jurisdiction over this. I emailed them with no response. I will be showing up to next board meeting to ask these questions if I get no response.

We oppose the mask mandate - due to personal liberty beliefs, but also due to scientific data about efficacy of vaccines and masks. I have written the health department, the Oakland schools board of ed, and oxford schools. No responses, except for one from health department offering legal clarity on their order. They sent that over and I started reviewing Michigan public health code and other applicable laws. A state of emergency may only be declared under certain circumstances, employing certain procedures. These circumstances and procedures are set forth In the following subsections. 6.11 Circumstances A. Declaration by Governor upon Determination that Disaster Has Occurred or Is Imminent The governor may declare a disaster or emergency upon determining that a disaster or emergency has occurred or that the occurrence or threat of a disaster or emergency exists. MCL 30.403f MHAJ, E. "Disaster" defined. A "disaster" Is an "occurrence or threat of widespread or severe damage, Injury, or loss of life or property resulting from any natural or man-made cause, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, snowstorm, tomado, windstorm, wave action, all spill, water contamination, utility failure, hazardous peacetime radiological incident, major transportation accident, hazardous material incident, epidemic, air contamination, blight, drought, Infestation, explosion, or hostile military action or paramilitary action, or similar occurrences resulting from terrorist activities, riots, or civil disorders." MCI 3n. 4021pj,. 2. "Emergency" defined. An emergency is defined as any occasion or instance in which the governor determines that state assistance is needed to supplement local efforts and capabilities to save lives, protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen the threat of a catastrophe. MCL 30.402 Ihl, 0. Declaration try local official The chief executive officer of a county or municipality or the official designated by charter may declare a local disaster emergency for no more than seven (7) days when appropriate. tufmkA30f Tfti1: Nowhere does it say the local health department has the power to declare an epidemic- only the governor. After I asked, the language in the order was updated to pandemic rather than epidemic. There is no state of emergency in Michigan (only can be declared by governor- local officials 7 days ONLY), and the federal government doesn't issue local government powers. As your constitutent, I hope that this will be addressed in tomorrow's meeting and that you will stand with us for mask choice -just like the criminals in the courthouse get (regardless of vaccination status). If you haven't seen the new sign on the courthouse, let me know and I'll send it to you.

I have children of the following ages: 6, 4, and 1. My 4 and 6 year old are wrongfully being forced to wear a mask that there is absolutely no data on protecting them from the Covid aerosols. The data simply does NOT support this mandate in Oakland County. I want numbers on this: data with facts and statistics to support masking children in our County. How many children are hospitalized or dying from this in Oakland County? Since it is not happening, this mandate was put into place to eventually force kids to get vaccinated (when available) at their age to be able to ditch the mask. There is more to it than a child just simply wearing a mask. This mandate is robbing our children of being themselves. My children act completely different with a mask on: they are emotionless, quiet, their talking is difficult to understand and hear, they have a difficult time breathing, and quite frankly are not themselves. Also, the mask comes home completely soaked wet. Would you want to breathe in a wet mask for 8+ hours. Another disturbing thing is that my child had to wear a mask outside last school year. Who thinks a wet mask is better than fresh air for a child? How can you morally do this to our children? How can you discredit the studies done proving the harm these masks are doing to our children (socially, emotionally, and psychologically) vs the benefit? Do you think if masks truly protected our children thousands of parents (including frontline doctors) across the US would be so outraged? You may or may not have children, however, think about if you firmly believe something was endangering your child's development, infringing on their rights, making them depressed, or suicidal how would you feel? PLEASE take the appropriate steps to remove this mandate. A mandate does not need to be in place for others to wear a mask if they choose. The parent has the RIGHT to decide what is best for their child, instead of being forced into something that is negatively impacting their child.

I will not be forced to mask up or vaccine my children for a virus. MDHHS does not make decisions for my children and parents must be given the right to determine what is best for their children. I do not support mandates the MDHHS makes for Michigan's public school children and never will. It makes no sense that people can sit at a table in a restaurant and not be required to wear a mask but kids sitting at their desk are being required to wear one. Where is the logic in that? Majority of parents are NOT in support of another year of mask wearing and allowing agencies, who are clearly overstepping, to make decisions that parents have the right to make. For the parents who are not comfortable, they have the right to home school their children or have them wear masks. For those who want the vaccine, they have had an ample amount of time and opportunities to get it. I will not require my children to wear a mask this fall. Making children wear masks to school only instills a deep sense of fear in them. They have a difficult time communicating and breathing properly, If it comes down to it, I will be more than happy to pull my children out of the public school district, and put them in private school or even home school them. They deserve the right to breathe freely. Please leave the choice to the parents to decide what is best for their children.

My strong, healthy, smart children have had a very difficult time navigating the educational system over the last 18 months. They were tremendously excited to return to school last September after 6 months away from the classroom. They were eager to get back to their friends and meet their new teachers. Their dreams were ripped away from them about two weeks prior to the start of school when the Lake Orion Board of Education decided that in -person learning was not safe. The choice we had been given as parents to send our children to school for in -person learning had been snatched away and disregarded. My husband and I did our best to encourage our children and reassured them that they would be able return to their classroom when it was safe. For my elementary children, that was in October. They managed to attend about 3 weeks before it was deemed unsafe to continue in -person. For my middle school children, they had a measly 4 days before they were refused in -person learning. 4 days! Let me tell you, the emotions ran high in our house for WEEKS after that. My children felt betrayed by the system. They didn't understand what changed that made it unsafe. They were doing everything right! They had their masks on properly, they were socially distancing themselves from the friends they hadn't seen in months, they were powering through the muffled lessons of their teachers but they were still given no choice. Here we are nearly a year later and we're fighting for a choice. Again. A CHOICE to decide what happens to our body. I have ALWAYS taught my children that THEY decide what happens to their bodies. If they do not like what someone else is doing to them or telling them to do to themselves they are to say "Stop!" Telling my children that they must wear a mask to attend school, even though they don't like what happens to their body because of it, goes against everything I have taught them up to this point. I am failing my children by telling them they do not have a choice in this matter. I am telling them their CHOICE does not matter! Do you have any idea how heartbreaking and defeating it is as a parent to not have the power to show them that they have a right to bodily autonomy? Let me repeat that. The RIGHT to bodily autonomy! I honestly fear that this teaches my children that "No" and "Stop" are words that do not matter and can be disregarded. It is telling my daughters that someone can do something to them without consent and there is no recourse. It is teaching my boys that those words are unimportant and do not mean anything. I am doing by best to teach my children that those words are very important, that they are full and complete sentences and there are no misunderstandings with those words. But society is proving to my children that those teachings are untrue. My children do not like wearing masks. They have told me it's hard to breathe, the mask gets stuck to their mouth, it causes their glasses to fog up, they can't understand their teacher and classmates, they are hot. Those are my children's words, not mine. They have formed their own opinions on masks with their own experiences. My 13 year old looked at the packaging of the surgical masks and pointed out the warning that states they do not protect against viruses. My 12 year old pointed out the sign at the store advertising "Fashion" masks. Am I honestly expected to tell my children that these masks work to protect themselves and others? My kids are told to think for themselves, come up with their own conclusions. My children have come to the conclusion that these, in fact, do NOT protect them as it's clearly stated on the packaging. I have told you all of this so you can get a little glimpse onto our family, so you can know a little bit about a large family that resides in your district. A family that votes in every election and believes that you must stand up for what you believe in. We believe the mask mandate ordered and signed by Leigh -Anne Stafford and approved by Dave Coulter is illegal, unconstitutional, inhumane, and a hindrance to a positive learning environment. We believe we must reach out to the elected officials in our district and let them know we must be offered a choice in this matter. I am sincerely urging you push back on this unfounded mandate and demand that it be rescinded. The reasons given for this mandate are not based on the Oakland County population. Clear and consice thresholds have not been stated as to when this measure may be lifted. "This order will remain in effect until it is determined by the Health Officer of the Oakland County Health Division that the threat to the public's health and lives is no longer present." This statement does not give a timeline, case count, positive infection rate, nor any other logical scientific limit as to when the mandate may be changed. This is an open ended statement and allows an unelected government employee to decide the fate of our community and children's educational future. This "threat" is not going away. We cannot control this virus. Please, as a parent that is desperately fighting for her children's rights, I ask that you push Ms. Stafford to show the Oakland County data that supports her mandate. Parents have a right to raise their children without the government overstepping and intervening when unnecessary. 18 months ago, we agreed to a 2 week pause. This has been the longest 2 weeks of my life and this nightmare needs to end. Please help end this nightmare for the sake of our children. Respectfully, Kirsten Barber 441 Newton Dr, Lake Orion, MI 48363 (248) 361-8977 Please enter this comment as part of the board of commissioner's record for the 09/02/21 meeting Lori Giacolone <lorigiaco@gmail.com> Thu 9/2/2021 1:19 PM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> My plea to anyone who is freedom -loving, regardless of political affiliation, is to stand opposed mandates of any kind. This is not a slippery slope, but a cliff. It opens the door to set a precedent to strip people in this county, state, and nation of personal, bodily rights. If Oakland County can use the baseless data to determine an emergency to order this mandate, I fear we are ALL doomed for what is to come. Because while many of you may agree with mask wearing (and I respect that stance), this will just be the beginning of future mandates. Our freedom to decide what goes on and in our bodies becomes someone else's decision instead of our own. That should be a chilling thought to EVERYONE, regardless of your stance on masks. If an Oakland County resident (in a higher risk age group) has the freedom to destroy their own body and immune system by smoking, eating fast food, drinking soda, taking drugs, etc., but healthy CHILDREN don't have the choice whether or not to wear a mask in school given that there have been ZERO deaths with over 18,000 rases in the 0-19 age group, I say something is definitely wrong with this picture. Deep down, you know this is wrong. Do the right thing and stand up to a tyrannical system that wants to also take YOUR rights away. Because, it's only a matter of time before NONE of us get to decide for ourselves any longer. This is a quick path to that end. I pray for you all, our county, state and country. We need it more than ever. Thank you for your time. Reply Forward Mask mandates heidihaightrrt <heidihaightrrt@aol.com> Thu 9/2/2021 2:11 PM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Please enter this comment, as part of the board of commissioners record for the September 2nd 2021 meeting. My name is Heidi Haight, I'm a registered respiratory therapist and I am the respiratory director at a local nursing home. I have worked firsthand with covid and have survived it myself, As a healthcare provider and mom of children in the Oxford district I am completely against masking our children by mandate. This is a right being stripped of parents out of fear and political opinion. Masks simply do not work for droplet respiratory illnesses and have become a safety crutch. We believed you once. We gave it a chance, It failed. This didn't flatten the curve. This didn't get rid of covid. Nothing that was politically led has been successful. We will not stand for this political mandate again. Mandates have effected our children's social growth, their education, their constitutional freedoms and their childhood peace. They should be able to share a smile and breathe freely. They should be able to see the nonverbal communication from their teachers faces as they are being instructed. We also know most people and especially the children don't wear masks properly. Walk into any school, and you will see the kids wearing them around their chin or under their noses. Masks are completely ineffective. it makes absolutely no sense that you don't have to wear a mask to the grocery store ,to church ,to anywhere else in your life but you have to wear them at school. You seem to think that you have us over a barrel and we have to obey. The thing is is you're supposed to be my voice. You're supposed to represent the people opinions, not the political opinion of Leigh Anne Staffords tyranny. I know for a fact that there are under a hundred cases in the ENTIRE Beaumont health system. Genesys hospital in Genesee county has a total of 40 covid19 patients right now. The hospitals are full But it's not of covid cases. That is a media lie. The facts of the health department are claiming are false. One of the major arguments people have is that we wear masks in the medical field. The medical masks that we wear at work literally say on the box " single use only. Reuse or extended use beyond 1 hour may lead to infection or cross contamination." The infections we deal with in health care facilities are way beyond environmental communal illnesses. That is literally comparing apples to oranges. The only reasonable option is choice. A parent can choose for their child to wear a mask or a parent can choose for a child not to wear a mask. My teacher can choose to get a vaccination or choose not to. let's not forget recovery still remains over 99%!!! That's better odds than birth control!!! There's far more damage being done to our community than covid. Having children earn "breathing breaks"as awards in school is abuse. This is not ever going to go away Just like the flu has never really gone away. We will all no doubt come in contact with viruses and bacteria throughout our lives. We cannot avoid these things & our job as responsible humans is to prepare our bodies to be able to fight and withstand the bacteria and virus we encounter. We encourage good hygiene, Good nutrition and immune support. I am concerned about the future of our children if we continue neglecting true health issues for false sense of safety. Please stand with us and our fight for our right as parents to choose what is best for our children. Unmask our children. Drop the mandates. American is still a free choice country.

We love Oxford Schools and are so grateful for the amazing leadership and groundbreaking education all 5 of our children have received here over the last 20+ years. We are faced with the decision of allowing our son an in -person education (which he desperately wants) at the expense of abandoning the values we have built our lives and family upon. Without our values to guide us and the freedom to make choices about our bodies and our health, we would not be free to be who we are. Therefore, we are left to hope, pray and take as much action as we can to make sure our kids and their needs are represented by you and this district. We have contacted the health department, the governors office and Oakland County and all of you. Please consider the rights of your Oxford Families and do your part to implement the plan you rolled out to all of us at the beginning of the school year. We are grateful for your commitment and hard work in the district and welcome discussion and open dialogue.

My child, like many in Oakland County has had a difficult time navigating the educational system over the last 18 months. In her short life, she has had to overcome many obstacles and has been doing quite well until the lockdowns and mask restrictions. I know you have read the many articles, testing results, studies, etc regarding mask wearing. No matter where you look, there are articles and studies on the pros and cons of mask wearing and the effectiveness of preventing the spread of Covid- 19. The box of masks purchased at the store clearly states that the masks do not stop the transmission of Covid-19. Wearing masks can give headaches, cause fatigue, lack of concentration. In fact, the CDC performed a study that stated 85% of people who got Covid-19 during July 2020 were mask wearers. When one wears a mask, they end up touching their face more than if they never had one. Many studies show there is no difference between wearing a mask and not wearing one when it comes to infection rates. We should study the actual science and not a political agenda. In addition to the health problems, emotional problems abound. Children struggle with anxiety and fear. Children can't see facial expressions, which is key in their emotional development. Many, like my child, already struggle with social cues, and wearing the mask only aggravates that problem. I am asking that you reverse your decision on the mask mandate. Please place the power back into the hands of parents. We know our children and love them, doing what is best for them. If a parent wants their child to wear a mask or not, it should be their decision. Personal choice and body autonomy are core beliefs. It's wrong for the government to tell parents what's right or wrong for their son or daughter. Thank you for your consideration on this matter. I look forward to seeing you all in person this evening. Sincerely, Becky Albert Oakland County resident Sent from Mail for Windows County Commissioners Meeting 9-2-21 Brill Brill <tykybrill@gmail.com> 1 hu 9/2/2021 1'1:36 PM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Dear Ms. Brown, This email is regarding the Oakland County Commissioners meeting held tonight, September 2, 2021. 1 am writing to give my public thoughts and per the announcement at the meeting I'm expecting this email to be put in the public records alongside the other public speeches. I did not plan on speaking tonight, nor writing this email, but after attending I felt compelled. We heard many people speak on behalf of the masked children, vaccine mandates in the health care community, as well as, a few on the other side speaking up for the mandates in hopes to "control" this virus we call Covid. I was impressed and uplifted. You've heard data, personal stories, doctors, and experts. I can't speak as well as many, nor do I have stats and data. My thoughts are simple. I'd like to think that regardless of what "side" we are on, we can find a common ground. Freedom of choice! Freedom to protect your family and your own body. Respectfully, you NEED to stop all health mandates regarding masks and vaccines. 1. A citizen may want a public mandate for masks or vaccines to help "control" this virus, but I ask you - You maybe "for" THIS mandate, but where is YOUR line in the sand? When will you say, enough is enough? Will it be the next mandated injection? How far will this government overreach need to go for you to say, "enough!"? I ask again, where is your line? My line is here! I'm speaking on behalf of people who believe that we, in this country, have choices. I believe we have risks in this world and we need to assess them for ourselves. Is the risk worth the benefit? My foot is down here, here is my line! No forced masks. No forced vaccines. 2. As elected officials, public servants, it is your main job to uphold the State Constitution and the National Constitution. Period! You are to protect the people through this! This is the supreme law. All laws and government mandates must not go against the Constitution. It was brilliantly, and carefully designed to withstand government overreach. These mandates are breaking BOTH constitutions. You are not doing yourjob - to UPHOLD the constitution! We the people are the government - not you! This "great experiment" that started in 1776 was against just this, tyranny and government overstep. The people govern and the elected officials make sure the law of the land (our great Constitution) is followed. Start doing yourjob, by taking away mask mandates and take away vaccine mandates in the workplace. I am fully against the K-12 mask mandate! I'm fully against forced vaccines. I'm for CHOICE! I'm a mother of 4 school -age children. My heart breaks everyday that my children are in this mess that is being perpetuated by government officials and their politics. I URGE you to follow the Constitution, let us parent, let us choose what is best and healthy for our families. Do yourjob, so we can do ours! Respectfully, KelleyJ. Brill, Oxford, MI My statement for the board meeting tonight jmhsmiles@hotmail.com <jmhsmiles@hotmail.com> I'hu 9/2/2021 11.40 PM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <cerk@oakgov.com> My name is Jessica Hotchkiss, I am an Oakland county resident. I do hiring for a local company and recently spoke with a woman who was struggling to find a job because she got an infection from wearing a mask and has doctors appointment after doctors appointment that she has to attend. She cannot find a job because it's hard for her to say that she can 100% be there due to the sickness that is lingering from her wearing a mask. have a family member who works in Community position, she is unable to get the vaccine due to blood clots and health issues. Her doctor has told her do not get the vaccine. She has also already had Covid and fully recovered and has the supposed antibodies. And yet the facility that she works for is treating her as if she is an animal, they are questioning whether she should be even allowed to walk around the facility. They are requiring her to change the way she does her job because she is considered a risk. I know multiple children who are in therapy because they spent a year locked in their homes. My mother is terrified because the government is telling her one thing, but the research is saying another. My cousin has autism and was suspended from school because his sensory was in overload and he couldn't wear the mask and because of that he was denied his education. Our family has lost people to suicide and overdose because they were quarantined and felt alone. I understand COVID is real, but so are these facts. Do these people not matter? These incidences are everywhere and they are being ignored to meet the agenda! And my family... why this hits home for us. My duty as a mother is to stand up for my children. mY duty as their mother is to guide them and protect them. That is my duty. Not yours. My 15 year old daughter feels silenced. She was previously a straight A student and though she maintained good grades through online school last year, it wasn't her normal "standards" for herself, she was forced to lower her bar of expectations. She was forced to do school at home because when we called the school we were told there was no space for her. She was refused that opportunity to reengage with her peers. She has been denied the high school experience for far to long. When my 8 year old wears a mask he gets a headache, lightheaded, and his muscles start to act and he has to stop what he is doing drink water and rest. My doctor will not write a medication exemption for my children. I tried. Both of my daughters have a hard time with mask. One already struggles with a mild breathing issue and wearing a mask causes her anxiety, and once her anxiety kicks in she can't breathe. And Because she is a rule follower she wears her mask. Because that's how I raised her to have respect for authorities and now those authorities are taking that position and abusing it. What are we teaching our children when we tell them that whether they like or not they will wear a mask. was sexually abused as a child and I refuse to instill the mentality into my children that they must surrender themselves and that they don't have the right to say no. These are mandates that they can research them self and see the statistics are lagging. I mentioned my daughter is a straight a student! She knows better! I refuse to tell my children that they don't have a voice. And that, that is all we are asking for is a voice. We just want the right to choose. These are just a few of the stories you aren't hearing or if you are you are just flat out ignoring. Please quit ignoring these cries for help and these signals that this isn't working! 1 am not a public speaker. This frankly a mortifying task for me. But I am tired of taking this lying down. I'm tired of not standing up for our liberties. We are at a crossroads in this country. Are you willing to be one of the voices that turns us to the road in which we no longer have choices? We live in America! You just pledged to our flag. Repeat that pledge to yourself! The definition of justice is just behavior or treatment! This is not just treatment. Forcing children to keep filthy mask on their faces for 8-10 hours maybe longer depending on the length of the bus ride. A free country. Land of the free, home of the brave. And I ask you commissioners. Please, Be brave. Sent from my Whone please forward to all Board Commissioners as decided at board meeting Janet Salisbury <jj,salisburyCyahoo.com> "Ihu 9/2/2021 11.51 PM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derkCaoakgov.com> At last night's meeting it was decided that the public could email their comments until 11 A.M. Friday and you were mentioned as the person to send to. Please forward this email to all Board members. Thank you. Dear Board of Commissioners: I was in attendance at the last meeting. I believe I heard you say you would accept comments until 11AM Friday if sent by email. I wanted to be the very last person to speak, but left after 10 P.M. not knowing now many more people were waiting to come in. Here are my comments hopefully to get you to dig within yourself to make you think: 1. If masks work, then why did the virus spread all last year into this year? 2. I asked for data from the Oakland County Health to back up their mask mandate for schools. All they provided was a State web site, which they knew does not and never has provided data. But, in that site it says each school district should decide the mask issue. So, the data is not provided as asked for. 3. Many people that had Covid have had their antibodies checked. I do not know one single vaccinated person who has checked their antibodies. 4. The State has no capacity limit regarding Covid, but yet you do at your meetings. Why? 5. No explanation as to why meeting started 31 minutes late, so obviously not an emergency. Then, almost 5 minute delay because Zoom person was not on. 6. While most of you faced the speaker and listened to public comments, I did observe these troubling situations: A. Immediately when the public continent section started one board member left by the back exit for 20 minutes. When board member came back to meeting this person was looking at a cell phone for a long time. Then, that board member left again coming back into the meeting with a small stack of papers. I have to assume sent from cell phone to printer. Again, looking at cell phone until recess. When the meeting was called back in session this person immediately left for 9 minutes. Came back to meeting, asked Chair for permission to address the audience. Asked for respect from audience. Then left for another 5 min. Well, I would ask for respect for the public comment section by this board member. Finally, the last approximately 20-30 minutes was not on cell phone. B. Another board member started out facing public speaker and listening for about 30 minutes. Then was on cell phone and left meeting at least 3 times. C. Another member, when present , faced and listened to public speaker. But left meeting several times. Once for snacks. Always polite when re-entering, waiting for public speaker to finish before sitting down. D. Another board member faced and listened to public speakers half the time and was on cell the other half. To wrap tip, please re -read items 1-5 and think.

I have two children in Lake Orion schools who are not old enough to be vaccinated yet. Additionally, the schools cannot provide 6 feet of physical distancing. Given masks are most effective when everyone wears one, I am grateful that the mandate is in place. This does not come from a place of fear, but from a social responsibility to keep my children, my family, and those in my community safe. During the 2020-2021 school year, our kids did wear masks at school. They suffered no ill effects, no breathing issues, no lack of connection with friends or teachers, and we were all appreciative of the time they spent in -class - safely. I believe the goal is to keep kids in -person at school and these appropriate safety measure help meet that goal. Our kids wear masks when we are in public and other people are present - they ask for their masks. I am guessing their attitude is greatly impacted by ours and therefore they have a positive outlook and see no issue with wearing a mask for safety. Please keep the mask mandate in place until the risk level is low, as described in the mandate. Listening to the public, comments, it is unfortunate and disappointing to hear so much bad information on mask and vaccine efficacy being presented as facts. Please rely on credible research from appropriate medical bodies over word of mouth or public comment. Again, THANK YOU FOR THE MASK MANDATE. Kindly, Teresa Meller Teresa M.

I cannot be at the Oakland County Board Commissioners meeting tonight but I want to express my continued support and gratitude for the school mask mandate. We live in Lake Orion and our children are too young to be vaccinated. We know that in -person learning is most effective, but most done safely. Our kids adapted very well to the masks last year and we understand the proven efficacy of masking when everyone wears one. It seems highly appropriate that a mandate be issued by local health officials and not individual school districts. We strongly support the mask mandate and appreciate that science and health were made a priority Sincerely, Teresa Meller Teresa M.

I fully support the OCHD order mandating masks in schools as an additional precaution for kids, teachers, staff and the whole community against the pandemic. It was very disappointing to hear the public comments today. We, as a community, have to do what is safe. Our individual rights are not more important than the whole community's well being. I understand and acknowledge masks are uncomfortable and inconvenient, but so are many other things that safeguard our health and safety. And we have to stop antagonizing each other and looking for every single opportunity to divide and disagree. Division is becoming the new American vice. I am very disappointed in my commissioner for voting yes to suspending the rules. Many people in this area allege that Lake Orion does not have as many cases as other cities and that is why we should not be subject to the order. It is ridiculous. Most of the people here have jobs in other cities or counties. And I do not understand how some people can believe that COVID respects a zip code, when we saw the virus spread all over the world within months. The Delta variant was first detected in India in December 2020. It now dominates all over the world. We are seeing that, even with the mask mandates, schools are reporting cases of COVID within weeks of being open. What do you want? Wait and see how many kids are hospitalized and how many people die to then require as many protections as we can have? I am sure my kids would ideally prefer not having to wear a mask. And I dream of the day when we can all toss our masks in the trash once and for all. But that day is not coming anytime soon, and in great part it is because of how divided we are. Do not underestimate the lives of your residents. Do not gamble with our children's lives! I am happy that, no matter certain people's partisant interest, the extra measure to keep people in Oakland County safe prevailed. Thank you to all the commissioners that protected us by voting NO to the proposal! Sincerely, Erandy Pacheco Orion Township resident STOP THE MASK MANDATE NOW! Lisa West <west.lisa@hotmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 2:54 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> 1 1 attachrnents (205 KB) medical mask waiver090121.pdf; We the People are speaking out! We voted you in, but your job is to be a voice for the people. Elections are coming and we will remember what each of you have done to and for our children. Please read the attached letter regarding the current mask mandate. Our ninth grade daughter in Walled Lake Consolidated School District legally has a choice of whether she wears a mask. Forcing masks upon children violates Michigan Law 380.1307b, in which all adults enforcing the mask can be held criminally responsible. Also, I would like to see the proof in which both COVID-19 and its Delta variant have been isolated. In order to build up their immune system, children should not be wearing masks but practice good hygiene (eg. washing hands) so that they build up an immunity to all viruses they may come in contact with. Having a strong immune system helps ward off viruses they come in contact with and allow them to stay healthier. Lisa West 248-722-1591 Sent from Outlook Oakland County Commissioners meeting on 9/2 robineil@aol.com <robineil@aol.com> Fri 9/3/2021 SA7 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Lisa, This letter is in response to the meeting last night where a motion was passed to receive emails by noon today to be considered by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners in attendance at the 9/2 meeting re: the emergency order mask mandate. I am a Groveland Twp resident, living in the Brandon School District in Ortonville. I am also a former Board of Education member. Our own Michigan Governor has stated that the decision of masks should be decided by individual school districts. Currently, large groups of people are allowed to congregate without masks, as we did last night, in unison, right outside the building where you were meeting. I live very close to the Renaissance Festival, where 1000s of people go each weekend in close proximity without masks, Concerts are taking place; restaurants and stores are open, where people can freely go without wearing a mask. In reality, these school aged children could attend a birthday party or other gathering with their entire class, outside of school, without wearing masks. How does it make any sense to mask the children and teachers during the school day, when they can go so many places without them? It does not make logical sense. I agree with all that was stated by so many people last night that masks do not work, and all this is doing in our schools is hindering the education of our students and the ability of our teachers to teach. Children are being sent home from school for not complying to mask mandates, and parents are pulling their children out of school districts because of it. This also affects the state aid that each school district will receive, based on the number of students who attend, which is going to be a real challenge for many school districts that are already struggling to stay afloat. If people want to wear masks, they should absolutely be able to. But the forcing of masks upon staff and students who do not want to wear them should not be happening, especially when our own governor has given the authority to each individual school district to decide. As I stated, I am a former Board of Education member of the Brandon School District. My children have both already graduated from high school and college, and I was happy with the public education they received at the time. But I can tell you right now that if they were in Oakland County schools at this time, I would be pulling them out and homeschooling them. I am curios to know how many of you have children in K-12 in Oakland County right now. As this resolution has been directed to the Legislative Affairs and Government Operations Committee, I ask that this committee make the right decision to r recommend escind the emergency mask mandate order. I appreciate all of the commissioners who did vote on 9/2 to rescind the order, and I ask that the rest of you please change your minds and let the school districts decide. I welcome your feedback to my letter and am open for any questions you may have.

How can rules be changed at last minute and everyone be on board with it. Changing the number allowed into auditorium and voting beforehand is a sign of power. The bottom line is the board made the decision before showing respect to those that actually did the research and notjust look at numbers. All about our kids, right? Not about the money, right? This is sickening. I take a oath to take care of patients no matter their status or if Help C, Aids, etc. You all take a stance based on what your told to do. You base helping people by if they are vax vs nonvax. You don't treat people the same. Such a disgrace. Oakland County Health Department is all one sided cowards! I would never do this to my patients. This is so much more than masks. Where is the fight for our kids. I hope and pray you have no kids to have to live in this one sided crazy world where we go around silent. -Breanne UNMASK OUR KIDS Stacey Skipworth <staceynskipworth@gmail.com> Fri 5/3/2021 6.45 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com>; woodward@oakgov.com <woodward@oakgov.conv To Whom It May Concern, The amount of parents who spoke on behalf of all of us parents fighting for our children spoke volumes and hit more than enough key points. It is obvious by now masks do not work and you were given plenty of science, data and proof last night. Masks do more harm than good. I can not imagine being on the board and having children and actually supporting this cruel mandate. Yes, kids are resilient but this is not about being resilient, this is about training them to obey and comply even if things don't make sense. I have had enough of "at least they are in school". In school where interaction with their friends is prohibited. Where they can't see their teacher's faces or their friend's faces. My kids say they made a few new friends this year but I bet if we ran into them at the grocery store they wouldn't even recognize them because they have never seen their face! Your mandate is ruining our children. They are miserable. They hate school. They have headaches. They complain about breathing. Their grades are slipping because the school is more focused on them pulling a germ saturated face contraption over their nose and mouth than their education. It is absolutely sickening. My kids sit 4 kids in a seat on the way to school then are forced to social distance once they get there. If that doesn't scream that it is about control and not the virus then I don't know what does. It's all about getting those dollar signs to the building where they are then treated like prisoners. My kids can do ANYTHING in Michigan without a face diaper ACCEPT GO TO SCHOOL. This is ludicrous! These children are OUR children. Not the school's, the county's or the governments. OURS. The scared parents can homeschool. If they think that a worthless muzzle over our kids mouth will really save their children, they first off clearly love to follow fake news and are obviously all about compliance and not about concern for their kids or others. If my child's health was so worrisome, I would NEVER trust a mask that literally says it does not stop Covid-19 on it's box to save my child. These parents are all about appeasing the left and following the agenda not protecting their children. The love making us out to be bad guys for wanting what is right for our children. This mandate is child abuse. Plain and simple. This should be a choice. Period. We have already pulled one of our four children from Oakland County public schools and placed them in private school where masks are optional as they should be. (Which they were last year. The school operated 100% normal and they had not a single outbreak.) We are in the works of doing the same with our other children as well. At this point in the mask battle it is clear us parents will not back down and will never stop fighting for our kids. Anyone who sat in that room last night was given an abundance of information that supports the unmasking of our kids. There is no reason for this mandate to continue if you follow the actual science.

Regarding the meeting and vote last night, I thank those of you that voted NOT to rescind the order. In many Oakland County school districts, there is no social distancing, no mitigation measures during lunch or snack time, and no identifying close contacts and quarantining exposed students by the district. The lack of such mitigation measures is in my mind negligent. My children love their schools and teachers and desperately need in -person learning. Currently, the mask mandate is the only reason I am sending them. Especially for those 11 and under, masks are likely the ONLY protection they have during the school day. As a nurse at a local hospital, a parent and constituent of this county, I thank those of you who stood up for these children at yesterday's meeting and for those of you who did not, I simply don't understand how you can place more value on your political gain thank you do on the lives of people in your community.

Many of us waited for hours to have our voices as citizens and parents and were not given the opportunity. We also were rudely subjected to the commission turning on the sprinklers to try and disperse the large crowd who were protesting the violation of our right to peacefully protest and protect our children from the government tyranny. Here are the facts - The 7 day average of daily COVID 19 cases has dropped from 950 to under 200 from April to August according to data provided by the this county - httos://www.oakciov.com/covid/dahsboard.htmi, However, this has not stopped the Democrats from pushing FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real), scaring parents into accepting mandates and putting children into a state of terror all for the purposes of political control. This is exactly why the emergency order issued by health officer Leigh -Anne Stafford reference ONLY NATIONAL NUMBERS and not COUNTY -WIDE specific numbers. All reference to local and state-wide cases were non-specific and used deliberately misleading language to stoke hysteria. These numbers indicate that the mask mandates were a political calculation by Democrats who refuse to return America to normacly. The Revised Schol Code from Act 451 of 1976 section 380.1307B Statement of Prohibitive Practices under section 1307b. states: The state policy under section 1307a shall include a clear statement that all of the following practices are prohibited for school personnel in the public schools of this state under all circumstances, including emergency situations point h) clearly states Any restraint that negatively impacts breathing - MASKS CLEARLY VIOLATE THE LAW.

I implore you to allow medical professionals to dictate policy and protocol when it comes to the health and safety of our community. The CDC, AAP and MDHHS all strongly recommend mask mandates for schools. I am especially concerned about elementary schools where vaccines are not yet available to students.

It is ourjob to make sure we are doing everything in our power to ensure our children are protected from unnecessary illness. Just like we require certain nutritional components in school lunches, vaccination records, and health checkups, we can require our community to do it's part to protect children who are too young for the covid vaccine. Right now, masks and social distancing are the primary tools available to us to protect them, so we must maintain the mask mandate. I will say it again, it is extremely important to maintain the mask mandate for Oakland County schools for the health and safety of our children. We need to keep supporting this mandate for the following reasons: 1. The masks are not harming anyone, and are proven to reduce risk of infection with the covid virus. 2. Our children deserve to be able to attend in -person learning for their social and academic needs, to increase the likelihood that they can remain in person as long as possible, we need to reduce the likelihood of covid infections, therefore reducing the risk of infection should be a top priority. 3. We all should be doing our part to slow the spread of the virus. The faster the virus spreads, the more potential for even more harmful variants to emerge. If mask mandates slow the spread AND increase the likelihood that our children can stay in in -person learning, this shouldn't even be a question that the mask mandates should stay in place. If we truly want what's best for our community, and most of all, our children, we need to be working together to make decisions that support the health and safety of us all. Right now, that means maintaining the mask mandate in our schools.

Best, Fanah Gahnel Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Lia Berm <liavbenn@gmail.com> Fri 9/ 3/N"I 1 10:09 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.mm> Commissioners, Most educational experts agree that in -person schooling works best for most children, both for learning and for socialization. The only way to maintain in -person schooling during a pandemic is to follow the layered protection strategies outlined by the CDC, advocated by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and strongly recommended by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services: https://www.michigan.gov/.../COVID-19_Guidance_for... One of the vital layers in the protection strategy is universal masking in schools. It has been proven time and again that masks work to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and it has never been proven that there are any health or emotional risks from wearing masks. Children did so all year last year without issue, and any who cannot mask can opt to do schooling from home. Please continue your leadership in this effort, and uphold the mask mandate in schools.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. I have 4 kids that are 6 and under and my youngest son is Deaf and receives services through Early On through Walled Lake, and special needs kids have really been dramatically effected by this mandate. My son needs to see people's lips and facial expressions. Hearing kids do too, but for him it's an even bigger factor for his speech development. My kids have literally come horne with bloody noses that no one noticed, they have come home with dirty masks, they have come with the wrong mask, these kids cannot maintain this mandate sterilely. I work in surgery and studies show adults touch their mask 46 times, just imagine how often my kids who are 6 and under are fidgeting with it! I was extremely disappointed that the vote took place before Public comment and how rude many of the commissioners were during the testimonies. The two commissioners who joined remotely were talking to others the majority of the time while on mute, and Democratic commissioners made comments like "I don't have to listen to this," and they got up or were rudely talking under their breath and making fun of speakers. It was extremely unprofessional.

People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing normal about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools.

Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> To Whom It May Concern: Please do NOT rescind the current mask mandate for Oakland county schools! This delta variant is changing the game for Covid and vaccinated people are testing positive daily. This is a fact. My son is 7 years old and a 2nd grader at Huron Valley Schools in Milford. He was diagnosed with asthma at 2 months old. A common cold can trigger his asthma which can thankfully be controlled by medications. Getting Covid is a completely new territory for him and could be detrimental to his health! If wearing a mask can help avoid that in any capacity then I fully support it. My son's health should not be at risk because other's don't want their child inconvenienced. All children deserve a fair chance at education but also at living their life to the fullest. Thanks to wearing masks in school during the last year, my son had the healthiest year of his life. Masks work! This is a matter of public health and not a decision that should be made by a school, Please do NOT rescind the mask mandate for Oakland county schools.

Let me tell you why. I teach first grade. I know that masks will not solve our variant D problem, but they will help. Social distancing is very difficult for young children. Masks help. Not touching their face is very difficult for your children. Masks help. Not sharing supplies is very difficult for young children. Masks help. I need to add that the young children in my class need reminders to wear their masks correctly, but they don't forget them, they don't complain about them, and they don't have difficulty breathing or speaking. My husband is tll and immunocompromised. I don't think he could survive Covid. Each day I send myself into a sea of unvoccinated young children and spend the day there. Masks help to lessen the chance I will bring COVID home. Every day I send my 17 year old into a school of possibly vaccinated friends. Masks help to lessen the chance she will bring COVID home. Every day I will send my son into yet another pool of unvaccinated young people. This is particularly scary because I can see that the other parents, and even many of the teachers do not believe this to be a risk! Masks help to lessen the chance he will bring COVID home. I understand that in person learning is important. I do not think it is more important that the lives of our loved ones. I am very disappointed that there is an air that COVID is over and we need to return to normal. No cohorting, no social distancing, minimal contract tracing or quarantine policies. Masks are annoying. They are hot. They make communication difficult. They also save lives. Please keep the mask mandate in place.

I DO NOT support mandates. I DO support parental rights and choice for each child. Masks are not proven to be antiviral preventions. Please reconsider the mandate. Make it a choice. My kids suffer from headaches and shortness of breath and cannot tolerate the use of a mask for such a prolonged period of time. I urge you to think of your own family and if it is something you did not agree to be in the best interest of your family and were "forced" to do it. It is unjust and child abuse. No one should be forced to tolerate such behavior. I thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Nahla Garmo Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9-2-21 Erin Pavelich <erin.pavelich@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:10 AN' To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I, a high risk parent of a first grader, appreciate OCHD's recent order mandating masks in schools. Prior to the order, my six year old would have been entirely responsible for trying to prevent her own infection (and subsequently carrying it home to her high risk parent) 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. My child's mask protects others from her potential infection and would have provided very little protection for her from un-masked infections in her not -socially -distanced classroom. I worried for weeks about what that meant for my child. Would she get very sick? Would she be one of the increasing numbers of children hospitalized? Would she have long -haul symptoms? Maybe she would be asymptomatic or have a mild infection, but what did that mean for me, our family, and our community? Would we get sick? Would we accidentally pass it on to others in our community? If I caught it, would it cause another pulmonary embolism? And perhaps the possibility that bothered me the most was, would my child look back as a young adult and realize she carried home the virus that killed her mother, her grandparents, or someone else she loves? And then there were other unknowns: how many times would she be quarantined and be unable to attend school,? How many times would the school be shut down? How would all those interruptions impact her education, her social and emotional wellbeing? How would I maintain my employment during those interruptions? I hear the other side's argument: "Masks should be the parent's choice." But parents have not been stripped of their decision -making powers as it relates to masks; parents do still have a choice, but perhaps not their preferred options. Parents can choose not to mask their children while ensuring they receive their education, albeit in an alternate form. Disliking the options is not the same as not having a choice. And like the choice to drink and drive, or choosing not to buckle your child in a moving vehicle (both still choices, despite the potential for undesirable consequences), our "personal choices" are rarely contained within our person; the "personal choices" we make often affect other people. And in this case, the choice to disregard masks could literally lead to community outbreaks, entire schools shut down (like we're seeing in other states), and other people's illness, death, disability, long term suffering, etc. I know there is a vocal crowd who is literally willing to gather in opposition in ways that mask -supporters are unwilling to do because of the inherent risks of the un-masked crowds. But I know --and I want to be sure you also know --that 1 am not alone. There are many, many other Oakland County parents and educators who feel the way I do: grateful that someone finally stood up for our children and ensured some sort of line of defense against other people's infections so they can finally return to in -person learning with less interruptions. For what it's worth, my 6 year old has never - not once over the past 18 months - complained about wearing a mask (sometimes she even forgets to take it off once she gets home!). We make sure she has extras so that if she does sneeze in it (and the mask does what it's meant to do and keeps it from spreading throughout the classroom), or it gets dirty, she can change into a clean mask. Thank you for continuing to support masks for children, especially those too young to receive a vaccine, in school settings (especially school settings like ours that have chosen not to implement any of the other recommendations set forth by the AAP, CDC, or MDHHS)!

Thank you to those of you that voted against the Mask Mandate. I implore you to reconsider and remove the Mask Mandate for school -age kids. Risks of Transmission Low in Children Please look at the broad facts, not just a one-off study in North Carolina (as referenced in the OCHD Order). For example, the CDC states, " Neither increases in case incidence among school -aged children nor school reopenings for in -person learning appear to pre -date increases in community transmission." The CDC goes on to state, "In Michigan and Washington state, delivery of in - person instruction was not associated with increased spread of SARS-CoV-2 in schools when community transmission was low, but cases in schools did increase at moderate -to -high levels of community transmission.52 When community transmission was low, there was no association between in -person learning and community spread." According to the data on the Oakland County website, there have been ZERO deaths for children in Oakland County. Consistently, the cases for children have been mild. Consequently, for the transmission rates among children to be low and the risk to their health to be minimal, there is no need for masks. <image.png> The New York Times and CDC have published additional data for death causes for children. Not only are other activities far more dangerous, if you review the flu/ pneumonia data, but the risks are also far greater than Covid. As such, why have we NEVER required masks for flu season, but are requiring masks now. <image.png> Personal Considerations Aside from the data mentioned above, my 3-year-old has been in speech classes for a speech delay. The masks further hinder his ability to confidently speak in his first step into a school environment. My two daughters are in first and second grade. These are the years that they should be learning social cues from seeing people's faces. The negative impacts of the masks far outweigh the minimal risks of covid to this population and the ever smaller chance that they will be severely sick from covid. They find the mask uncomfortable and hindering their ability to breathe and learn. Furthermore, my children's masks (because of their young ages) is routinely covered in dirt, marker, and other unsanitary items. The kids are consistently touching their faces to adjust masks. I would far rather have them wash their hands rather than pulling a dirty face covering over their mouths. An editorial in the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, `The Case Against Masks for Children" argued that long-term mask -wearing can cause physical and developmental issues in children and that there is little evidence to support a mandate. Comparison to Neiohborinci Counties I am a person that looks at things logically, please explain to me why our neighboring Macomb County is not requiring masks, but Oakland County is. What are the differences in numbers and risks that are so much greater in Oakland County over Macomb? Global Comparisons Please read this excerpt from the National Review, "no major COVID outbreaks have been attributed to schoolchildren. Much of Europe is not masking children in schools. While some countries, e.g. Austria or Scotland, will begin the school year with masks, they are expected to start phasing out the requirement for young children within weeks. Norway explicitly advises against masking school - aged children. And Denmark is specifically prioritizing "normalcy" as a part of public health. And yet, here in the United States, we are not just putting masks on toddlers, we are still putting up plexiglass dividers in some classrooms as a way to establish distancing of students — even though the only evidence we have about such dividers' effectiveness suggests that they may increase transmission of the virus. Our CDC is still sticking to student -masking "guidance" that is out of line with the World Health Organization's advice, which holds that "Children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear masks." Occasionally, our children have even been asked to wear masks white playing sports, including, in some cases. outdoorsoorts. We are now entering a third school year marred by these rules, most of which have no solid evidentiary basis. This may feel like the blink of an eye for some adults, but for many children, especially school -aged children. it has become a childhood -defining experience. One begins to suspect that if there is actually a metric that will cause school districts to stop requiring masks and the CDC to stop recommending them for small children, it is a political metric rather than a medical one: Mask mandates will only end when enough parents stop tolerating them." Conclusion As an attorney, as an attorney, I stand by our God -Given rights and our Founding Father's principles for the Right to Choose. It should be my choice whether my children wear a mask. Votes like this should be based on actual real science, not on political gain and control. Please make the right choice. Melissa B.

As a mother of a child with glasses and special needs and another who doesn't have these issues, I know first hand masks are not a one size fit all approach. I should have the choice as the parent to send one of my children in a mask and the other without one weighing the risks and benefits for each of my children. I need to be making these choices, not the health departments and governments. Thank you for your consideration, Mrs, Kowalik Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Garima Kumar <garima3740@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 1011 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Dear Commissioners, Public education by definition is designed for ALL students. Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environrnent and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids. Our children deserve a right to a public education that keeps everyone safe, regardless of their personal beliefs that could endanger others. Please continue to uphold the mask mandate for the safety of ALL of our kids.

Medical professionals all over the world have concluded this is one of the most effective ways to keep kids safe and in school this year. These medical professionals are the ones who should be responsible with policy concerning our health and safety during a pandemic and as your constituent, I implore you to support them in this conclusion.

I do not support this mask mandate at school or experimental vaccine mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. Kids are at low risk of getting the virus and if they do, have ininor symptoms. My husband and I got the virus and my daughter who quarantined with us did not have any symptoms at all. The benefit from masking kids does NOT outweigh the risk. If the virus is deadly for kids, the kids should not be allowed to go back to school at all and everyone should be wearing hazmat suits. But that is not the case. I do not know of any child in Oakland county (or anywhere in the world in my circle) who was ill that it required hospitalization. Kids I know who tested positive are asymptotic or just has sniffles. Pre -pandemic flu symptoms for my daughter was worse than covid-19. Who are we protecting? The teachers who are vaccinated? If we are supposed to protect vaccinated adults, why are we not mandating masks outside of schools?

Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Betsy Pilon <betsypilonl@gmail.com> Fti 9/3/2021 '10.13 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, I did NOT attend last night due to the fact that I see the anti -mask, anti -science crowd getting more and more aggressive, and did not wish to risk my personal safety to do so. It is clear that the rnob of citizens do not hold a fundamental understanding of public health, safety, how the government works, etc. As I sent in an email prior to the meeting stating my disappointment with certain commissioners attempt to appease this base, I will use this as a follow up to include to you my comments that I recently read at a Bloomfield Hills Schools board meeting: Good evening, my name is Betsy Pilon, a resident of the Oakland County community for 40 years, with a high -risk nine year old and a rather typical five year old in the BHSD district. I was proud to be a part of Bloomfield Schools as we partnered last year to ensure students and staff were brought back to in -person learning safely. The district was agile, went above the recommended layered mitigations strategies, resulting in low cases, even during the highest point of community spread in April 2021. That is worth celebrating. And we did. Protocols were adjusted on June 30th to match where we were in the pandemic at that time. Now, we are Icy, thin, a , hl days from the new school year, and we are once again in the midst of a national surge of COVID cases, with Oakland County once again in high levels of transmission. And, Delta is different. We've seen tens of thousands of students being sickened, quarantined, and schools shutting down. We know that the transmissibility and impact on children is staggeringly greater. There are thousands of students who have already started the new school year that we can learn from. Thousands of students AND teachers have been sickened, quarantined, and sent back to virtual learning, whose school leadership sent them back without the recommended layered protection protocols of universal masking, social distancing and spacing, cohorting, ventilation improvements, contact tracing and quarantining, that we know work to keep kids learning in -person in a global panderic. Nobody wants to go back to virtual learning. I am very disappointed that forte 6;11rict Nr °cssi y zqulty acid lnclus;un, ihar you are even considering not reimplementing these proven protections to keep our students and staff healthy and learning in -person. There is nothing normal about bringing students back to school in the middle of a pandemic. Failing to protect our students and follow the experts advising you on how to do so, is chosen gross negligence. In our family, we rely on our community to help keep my high -risk son safe. When he was born, we relied on the experts in the NICU to keep him safe, and watched him on a ventilator for nearly a week. Something I don't wish on anyone. We rely on the West Bloomfield Fire Department to arrive at our house during one of his prolonged seizures to ensure he is safe. We rely on the school district to implement his IEP and seizure action plan at school to ensure he is safe We rely on the school district to implement his federally protected access to a safe and appropriate education, where he has soared because of the exceptional teachers in our district. We rely on the county -- Oakland Schools and the health department -- to keep our community safe. I am asking for equitable protection to keep my child, and others, safe during a pandemic that is increasingly hospitalizing children. My child's life is not expendable. He has overcome so many things in his life, including the learning loss when he was not able to learn in person in 2020. He is a Bloomfield Hills Schools success story. And he needs your leadership to keep him safely writing his next chapter. I do not expect any of you, on this commission, to be public health experts, but I do expect you to listen to them and follow their recommendations. Overwhelmingly, the experts are advising you to go back to the successful layered protections that brought our children back safely to in -person instruction in the Spring, and will keep them safe as we return to start this next school year. Kids can't learn if they are sick. Teachers can't teach if they are sick. Continue to follow the experts, and ensure we have a safe start to school.

It is extremely important to maintain the mask mandate for Oakland County schools for the health and safety of our children. Without the mask mandate it is possible that my children would have been considered close contacts for exposure several times in the first 7 days of school. We need to keep supporting this mandate for the following reasons: 1. Children under 12 are not eligible to be vaccinated yet. 2. The Delta variant is spreading quickly and is infecting some people who are vaccinated. 3. Science has shown that universal masking helps slow the spread of COVID. The local hospitals, CDC, and AAP recommend universal masking. 4. Universal Masking will help keep schools open— are kids need to be in school and safe. Unfortunately, this pandemic isn't over. Almost 2 years into this pandemic, we are more equipped with information that helps us make safe decisions to participate in school/work/activities. We need to follow the science and the overwhelming number of doctors and scientists who have worked tirelessly to keep people safe. I firmly believe we can get to a manageable place in this pandemic, but it takes all of us, as a community, working together, to make that happen. Thank you.

I do not support mandates. I support the freedom of choice. I support the scientific evidence and testimony from doctors that masks DO NOT prevent the spread of COVID-19, but instead DO contribute to a multitude of health issues especially for young children. Children suicide rates have increased tremendously over the last year and there is a shortage of child therapists in our area. In addition, the number of children on antidepressants has increased. This should be concerning the health department rather than mandating masks. Please support parental rights and do not mandate masks.

While it won't stop the virus on it's own, it is simply another tool to help minimize the spread; the spread from me to you, and you to me. Social Distancing, washing your hands, getting vaccinated, avoiding large gatherings, and wearing a mask are all simple things we can do to help minimize the spread of this virus. Please support the mandate to wear a mask in all public places, including schools. My youngest child is not eligible for the vaccine, and I must do what I can to protect him. We have opted to keep him in the virtual academy, over f2f education to avoid turmoil like this. This is not a debate about whether to vaccinate or not, it's about wearing a mask. Requiring mask wearing while inside a building or in group settings is NOT a violation of our basic rights. Do we protest when told "No Shoes, No Shirts, No Service"? No, because it's common sense. Do I enter a store wearing only shoes and a shirt - No, because not wearing pants is a crime. Not wearing, or improperly wearing a mask is the same as not wearing pants - a crime against humanity, a crime against civility and a simple crime against basic common sense. Regarding our classrooms - smaller classroom size to ensure safe social distancing is not an option in most situations, the barriers and partitions from last school year have vanished, one simple thing remains: wear a mask. MIOSHA mandates a safe working environment, I would argue forcing our teachers and staff to work in school without everyone wearing a mask is creating an unsafe work environment and every person who becomes ill should file a workers compensation claim for injury on the job. Wearing a mask is one simple thing we each can do to help ourselves, our family, and our community to continue in the fight against this latest surge COVID 19 and it's variants.

Thank you. I am parent of two young children, both of whom attend school in Oakland County and I am incredibly grateful that the County Health Department has prioritized safety for students and staff, and taken the step to keep our community healthy and kids in school by requiring masks at the pre-K-12 levels. It's a small, easy, and proven step to keep our community healthy. We all want normalcy right now, and an overwhelming majority want kids to be able to learn in school with their teachers and friends --masking is clearly the best way to achieve this goal. I understand that some Commissioners are looking to rescind this public health order and I urge the Board to oppose any effort to that effect. Whether individuals are concerned about health, safety, schools staying open, or the economy, the solution always lies in addressing the underlying public health crisis that COVID-19 has created. Controlling the virus gives us ALL the freedom to do more of the things we all want to do, safely. I hope you will continue to take every reasonable step to prevent the spread of this disease, and continue to protect our children and prioritize their safety and education.

I have a few thoughts to share. First, I am grateful to the commissioners who supported the current mask mandate in our K-12 schools by voting against a rule suspension that would have forced a vote last night on the measure introduced by Commissioner Kochenderfer. Our county is currently at a high rate of COVID-19 transmission, and it is important to protect not only the health and safety of our schools' students and staff members, but also to take every measure possible to make sure that students can continue attending school in person. As a special education teacher, I value the importance of in -person learning for the students I serve and all other children (including my own) as well. The difficulties that schools in other states are having in keeping students in school safely should serve as cautionary tales for us as the Delta variant continues to spread in our area. Please know that although the in -person presence last night of people who support the mask mandate may have been small, our numbers are mighty. Many parents and other county residents who support the mandate were uncomfortable attending the crowded event in person, especially given the volume of people who attended and refused to take any measures to protect their own health or that of the others around them. I am confident that you will receive many messages like mine today, and I thank you for your time and attention.

It is extremely important to maintain the mask mandate for Oakland County schools for the health and safety of our children. We need to keep supporting this mandate for the following reasons: 1. Younger kids can't be vaccinated, and even with a vaccination, it is not 100% protecting people from Illness. 2. As you know, mitigation must be done in layers (mask, vaccine, social distancing). 3. We must do this so kids have a chance to stay healthy and in school. I firmly we believe we can get to a manageable place in this pandemic, but it takes all of us working together to make that happen. Thank you.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. Furthermore, masks do not stop the virus spread anymore than a chain link fence stops mosquitoes. The virus is markedly smaller than the holes in masks and freely travels through them. What does not travel through them is the child's own warmth and moisture from their breath which creates the perfect breeding ground for bacteria that the child is then forced to breathe in all day long. in addition, this is an off -label use for these masks and federal law (Title 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(1-III) mandates that in an emergency authorization, people be given "the option to accept or refuse administration of the product". Public Health Code Act 451 of 1976, section 1307b also prohibits "ANY RESTRAINT THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS BREATHING." Masks do just that. The Oakland County Mask Mandate is therefore in violation of federal law and the Public Health Code and sets Oakland County up to face expensive lawsuits if not repealed. Unmask our children. Enough is enough. Thank you.

People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school_ There is nothing normal about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools. Please keep the school mask mandate in place until numbers decrease.

Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Wendy Hayes <wendyhayeslpn@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 10:19 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Public education by definition is designed for ALL students. Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. My nephew is immune compromised and also receives services in the public schools for his learning disability. It is important for him to be in school for his services but to do so with other students and staff unmasked and unvaccinated would be too risky. See even the mild cold can make him very ill and possibly need to be hospitalized. We would like to think that the simple request to wear a mask would not be too much to ask. Working in the schools I have found majority of students see the classroom as an extension of their family, they do not want to see their friends become seriously ill whether it is, from a virus or a severe food allergy reaction. It is the parents that are the most vocal against such policies (mask wearing, nut free classroom) as they do not get to witness these connections/bonds that teacher and students develop in the school year. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. As of right now, I have pulled my 5 year old from her very first public education experience because of the mask mandate. It deeply saddens me. She was so excited to make friends and be mask free, up until 5 days before school started. I cannot fathom sending her sensitive self to school for 7 hours a day at the age of 5, masked up. Think about what this does to a child. The phobias. Anxiety. Stress. Heat. Extra germs from dirty, improperly worn masks (let's be real here - elementary kids specifically cannot properly wear or handle a mask. Most adults cannot!)

You broke the law. In education, we have IEP's for children, It is law that we follow the IEP, within it, we must have measurable, obtainable goals with time lines set to achieve them. Having a scattered unmeasurable goal would not help the child be successful. The plan of implementation would not be there and would not be effective. Furthermore the child would not finish or get near the finishline. Similarly you have mandated a mandate that can not achieve those goals. Near impossible, especially with false positive testing practices. A percentage to ever drop the mandate over 14 days at those levels. So it will fail. And you will have a long term mandate. Ms. Stafford also did not use local data to mandate this on our communities. One person dictates everyone else. That has to change. Who mandates a temporary forced mask mandate that can't be achieved? Which means you don't want it to be achieved. Along side that... setting impossible standards for exemptions to people who have legit struggles and can't tolerate them. Who wrote that a iteria in your department, because you didn't include all the people who actually can not tolerate them. Whether you say masking helps or not, you haven't studied the negative things it does to the people wearing them. Last I checked many of yours are not wearing them in that building. Several government employees aren't subjected to this madness as my kids are. Several professionals here tonight made that very clear with strong statistics and years of their life dedication. It was notjust opinions, there were facts. I won't rehash all of the specifics. Who leaves the lead pandemic consultants out of the pandemic planning? This is how you are running our county. Your decisions affect lives. Others decisions affect your life. I hope that when you wake in the morning you think about how your life could change the same way our lives have from one person, or a few people choosing what's right for you and forcing it on you. Consider that you medically can't handle it, and that society won't let you in the door because too bad for you, you can't do it. Someone else's decision, one person in this case, writes your story going forward. You are part of this and doing this to many. This is not a one size fits all plan. You can help change, you can vote. Masking kids isn't the answer. They are the target and it has got to stop. Masking sports, over testing sports, and breathing while they run, is not healthy either. So much focus on the kids. If this was truly about safety, well then there would be clear considerations, data, studies, and consistency on both sides of your forceful ways. There is not. You refuse to look at the negative harmful things that are resulting from your mandates. Let me assure you, FORCE is not your BEST foot forward. There has to be balance, there is not. Thank you, Julie Dwyer Lake Orion, Michigan Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Priscila Albro <priscila.albro@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 1023 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Good morning, I am the parent of two boys who just started Kindergarten and Second Grade at RCS this year, after being since March 2020. We are becoming more and more concerned for the safety of our children and staff in schools. We are seeing in southern states that have already opened how quickly Covid is spreading among children where masks are not mandatory. Multiple districts in the southern US have already had to pivot to remote learning after only a few weeks of being open. EVERYONE wants to get back to normal life. Nobody really enjoys wearing masks. However, in the current health situation, we need to think about what is in the best interests of our children, their teachers, the communities we live in. Undoubtedly, it is best for children to be in school, but that needs to be done SAFELY. The vast majority of children in elementary schools are not yet eligible for Covid vaccines. It is impossible to maintain social distance in schools. The best way that we can keep children safely in schools is to require masks for both children and adults. All too often, parents DO send their children to school sick, because it is difficult for most parents to be able to stay home with a sick child. I ask you, please, do what is easily done to protect all our children, the adults that work with and love them, and the community. Maintain masks mandates for evernrone in schools! It is an easy way to limit the opportunity for infection spread: A. The masks are not harming anyone, and are proven to reduce risk of infection with the covid virus. B. Our children deserve to be able to attend in -person learning for their social and academic needs, to increase the likelihood that they can remain in person as long as possible, we need to reduce the likelihood of covid infections, therefore reducing the risk of infection should be a top priority. C. We all should be doing our part to slow the spread of the virus. The faster the virus spreads, the more potential for even more harmful variants to emerge. Mask mandates slow the spread AND increase the likelihood that our children can stay in in - person learning. This shouldn't even be a question that the mask mandates MUST stay in place. Thank you, Priscila Albro Rochester Hills Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9/2/2021 Sherrie Arnoldy <dolbyduranduran@yahoo.com> rr, 9/3/2021 10-23 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Cc: Steve Archibald <archibalds@slcs.us> Dear Commissioners, I would like to have this email entered into the public record from last night's meeting My name is Sherrie Arnoldy, and I am the parent of three children in the South Lyon School District (SLCS) of Oakland County. Last year, I had all three of my children do virtual schooling. it was a complete disaster. Many of their classes were vendor classes which were not synchronous, had no actual teacher, and included no engagement with their peers. Basically, they taught themselves. The lack of socialization, peer and teacher interaction, and actual live instruction by a real teacher was detrimental not only to their learning but, more importantly, to their emotional well-being. After almost two years of isolation, I made the difficult decision to send them back to in -person learning in the hopes that Oakland County and SLCS would do the right thing and keep my children safe with a mask mandate. Imagine my dismay when I heard that anti -maskers were out in droves trying to reverse this mandate. At worst, wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience for a couple of ours. At best, it is a means to ending this pandemic and keeping our community safe. These people want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. This health crisis has turned into a circus with people complaining about "their rights' and "their freedoms." Well, my children have rights too They have the right to a public education with REAL teachers, REAL classes, and REAL peers in a REAL classroom. They have a right to attend a public institution without the fear of getting sick or dying or spreading COVID to a loved -one because the "louder group" does not want to be bothered with wearing a mask or social distancing for the good of the whole. This continued chaos will only prolong the pandemic, lead to more illnesses, and sadly cause more deaths. Isn't 645K dead enough? Counties without mask rules in place, such as Livingston County, are already seeing increased COVID cases and quarantines. I am hoping Oakland County will take that into account and NOT reverse the emergency mask order. Major universities across Michigan, including Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, are not only mandating masks but are mandating vaccines as well. Many of these institutions are headed by medical academic scholars and doctors. They are well -versed in science and understand that the only way to end this pandemic is to put necessary safety protocols in place. I am begging you to allow medical professionals to dictate policy and protocol when it comes to the health and safety of our community, especially our children. If what we are fighting for is the value of our children's education, how can we send kids to school without a mask mandate, knowing very well schools wilt shut down due to COVID cases causing more delayed learning, unnecessary academic disruption, and further emotional isolation? You have a chance to not only give our children the education they deserve but to expedite a return to normal and help put an end to this pandemic. The only way that this can be done is if we ALL do what is best for EVERYONE, which includes universal masks in schools. Please keep the mask emergency order in place.

I have a 6th grader and 8th grader, and am sending this correspondence to ask that the commissioners and County staff responsible for mandating masks, re -consider and reverse their mandate in light of the constitutional freedoms, and rights every parent and child should hold so true. It's been over a year and a half since this generation's world as we know it, has come to a screeching halt. What began as '2 weeks to stop the spread' has turned into an egregious act of power, and control. Despite what the media, government would like us to believe, or would like to say about the group I now belong to - we DO believe in the science. We don't believe in the science of corporate funded entities that have lobbyists, and advertisers to answer to who may want this pandemic to go in a way of profits vs people. As we sit today, those who want to be vaccinated have that choice. Those who want to wear masks have that choice. What we've learned from the science is those vaccinated, or unvaccinated can both catch, and transmit the virus. A virus, pediatricians and doctors would once tell us we'd have to 'let run its course'. What we've also learned from highly accredited medical professionals - and Dr.Fauci himself, is masks to do not stop the spread. At this point we are ALL taking our own calculated risks in entering back into society knowing the virus is lurking. There are those who want to make the choice to take that risk, without a mask or without a vaccine that ONLY lessens the symptoms they may have. At no point did we ever elect a board of commissioners or other governing officials to take care of our health or make our health choices. In fact - if we did, it would be a complete failure on the US government at all levels allowing FDA approved chemicals, and toxins to be in our everyday products. Including those that our children eat and consume. If you look at the facts - the actual facts, what we're doing is the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. We are NOT getting a different result. We can NOT eradicate Covid-19. What we can do is express our god given rights to make our own decision on how we choose to take risks, and what we choose to do to protect ourselves. It's quite clear at the schools this isn't about protecting the health of our children - the argument could be made that the unnecessary mandate of wearing masks is in fact hurting them physically, emotionally, and mentally. Yet, we continue to allow you to make these decisions for the children we're responsible for raising - not the county, not the districts, not the federal government, not the state government. By making this decision it's a slippery slope for every parent to lose their own rights for individual choices, freedoms which is one common ideal we as Americans should all hold dear - my body, my choice. My family, my choice. If you continue with mandating masks - what's next? Will you mandate daily fitness to address obesity? Will you mandate avoiding red meat to protect from heart disease? Will you mandate the halt of sales in tobacco to prevent lung cancer? Where does this 'health' crusade end and when do our personal freedoms return? A non -partisan issue has become completely partisan, and what shouldn't be partisan - is freedom of choice. You're doing no help for health mandating masks that SCIENCE proves - do not stop the spread. I'm asking you to please - regardless of your political beliefs or side, please stand with our children. They deserve every right to know the world we once knew prior to the emergence of a virus from a country that would love nothing more than to cripple our freedoms. And, anyone in favor of masking our innocent children in the guise of 'public health and safety' are letting them.

My son is starting sixth grade this school year in the Huron Valley school district, something I initially didn't think would happen until the recent order. Being eleven he doesn't have the option to be vaccinated, but even if he was he has told me he'd still wear a mask to help keep others safe. Until that point arrives, we have to hope for the same level of care, consideration, selflessness and empathy from others within out - community. It's frustrating to see how politicized this has all become. It's also frustrating to see our elected officials ignoring science and the advice of medical professionals in favor of votes. All the facts are on the table and there are so many other states that are currently showing us what happens when even the easiest of preventative measures, like masks, aren't enforced. It's even safe to say that Livingston County's quarantine count within these first couple weeks of school show what the school year is going to look like without masks. What will happen once the schools have used all their snow days in just one quarantine? Will schools remain open through summer to make up for the lost school days? We need to keep safety measures in place to not only try to keep our children as healthy as we can, but also to keep them in school since virtual attendance is no longer an option. Personally, should the order be rescinded, my child will be pulled and homeschooled for another year and i suspect many others will do the same. It simply isn't equitable for the student population or community to not have mitigation efforts be made and I refuse to participate in the drama that's sure to follow if masks aren't enforced.

Medical professionals across the globe (and at my University) have concluded masks is one of the most effective layers of mitigation to keep children safe and in school this year. The expert opinions of medical professionals should be the primary evidence used to make public health policy decisions. I implore you to support the mask mandates and public health decisions made by these experts. Thank you, Suzanne Drapeau White Lake, MI Suzanne Drapeau (she/her/hers) Lecturer, Summer Bridge Scholars Program, CSP University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MT 48109 Cell: (248) 220-0346 Pronouns: she / her /hers Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Susan Grady <shue101S@gmail.com> ;,'021 10-25 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> I am thankful for the mask mandate. Let me tell you why. I teach first grade. I know that masks will not solve our variant D problem, but they will help. Social distancing is very difficult for young children. Masks help. Not touching their face is very difficult for your children. Masks help. Not sharing supplies is very difficult for young children. Masks help. I need to add that the young children in my class need reminders to wear their masks correctly, but they don't forget them, they don't complain about them, and they don't have difficulty breathing or speaking. My husband is ill and immunocompromised. I don't think he could survive Covid. Each day I send myself into a sea of unvoccinated young children and spend the day there. Masks help to lessen the chance I will bring COVID home. Every day I send my 17 year old into a school of possibly vaccinated friends. Masks help to lessen the chance she will bring COVID home. Every day I will send my 7 year old son into yet another pool of unvaccinated young people. This is particularly scary because I can see that the other parents, and even many of the teachers do not believe this to be a risk! Masks help to lessen the chance he will bring COVID home. I understand that in person learning is important. I do not think it is more important that the lives of our loved ones. I am very disappointed that there is an air that COVID is over and we need to return to normal. No cohorting, no social distancing, minimal contract tracing or quarantine policies. Masks are annoying. They are hot. They make communication difficult. They also save lives. Please keep the mask mandate in place.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. My grandson is 7 and has ASD wearing a mask makes hirn sick, his nose starts running then he starts coughing and sneezing, to me that produces more risk then letting him not wear a mask and also when he wears the mask he doesnt wear it prooerly and he is constantly touching his mask and his face, do you not realize that these kids do not wear the masks correctly? So what is masking them up actually doing? I feel that masking these children for one gives the schools a reason to keep the parents from coming into the school so we have no idea what is really going on behind closed doors and that upsets me. I hope you will reconsider making masks optional. I respect those who want their children to wear a mask but those who dont should get the same respect. If these masks work as well as you claim then those wearing the masks that are so afraid should have nothing to worry about right? Because the masks work right? It should be a parents decision not the schools or anyone elses, you do not co parent my child with me, you do not pay for his upbringing, once he leaves the school he is no longer even on your mind. If parents are really that concerned or worried, and want their children to be masked, novi has a virtual option for those children to stay in their own homes so they can be completely safe from any outside germs correct? So there should be no reason at all that masks cannot be made optional.

I can only imagine how tired most of you are after the very long meeting yesterday. I wanted to speak but I had my children with me and could not wait that long. I listened to the meeting live on YouTube and heard that we would be heard if we reached out by noon today. I wanted to begin by thanking each of you for your efforts. I want to especially thank those of you who voted against the mask mandate. I know that takes courage and that strength is not unnoticed by the members of this community. I have lived in Oakland county my entire life. I grew up in Troy, attended Troy public schools from k-12 and even went to Walsh College for graduate school. My husband has also lived in Oakland County for the majority of his life. We currently reside in Keego Harbor and have 3 children attending West Bloomfield public schools. I have LOVED my community my entire life and have been proud to live here. These past few weeks have changed that tremendously. I am deeply saddened by the loss of freedom allowed by MY county. I'm not sure how many of you are parents, but I implore you to THINK about what I am saying. NO ONE LOVES MY CHILD LIKE I DO. NO ONE KNOW WHAT THEY NEED LIKE I DO. NOT ONE OF YOU WITNESSED THEIR GROWTH IN MY BODY OR THE MIRACLE OF THEIR BIRTH. NO ONE HELD THEM THROUGH THE LONG NIGHTS, FED THEM AND CARED FOR THEM. I AM THEIR MOTHER. I, AND ONLY I, AM ABLE TO MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS FOR THEM. By mandating masks, you are taking away MY choice and my freedom. I know for a fact that masks don't work, but forget about that for a second. Let's think about this logically. Let's simply look at numbers. MORE CHILDREN DIE EVERY SINGLE YEAR FROM INFLUENZA THAN COVID. Please, each of you, I would like an answer ... why did we not mask our children from influenza then??? This makes no sense. Masks give my children headaches and are poisoning their growing bodies with carbon dioxide. I did not fight last year with the horrible choices and my children lost an entire year of education. I did not fight because there was no data. Now, there is data. Now, you all can simply look at the data. Please, I beg you, let my children be children. Please don't take away another year of their lives. This is not right. I really don't want to pull my children from school. The social aspect is irreplaceable and you guys are making that impossible for me. I will not leave them in school for the rest of the year, if this mask mandate is not lifted. If I do have to pull their], I will NOT be attending Lakers online. We will go a different route to homeschool with a community of parents in the same mindset as me, My 4 year old is supposed to start preschool next week. Tell me, how can I be expected to send him to school with a mask. He is already scared and cannot even see the teachers kind face. How can he learn without seeing the teacher? This is absolutely unnecessary. Please allow me to send my child to preschool. Please let my son receive the same opportunity as other kids. It's really simple, if someone wants their child to mask up, then let them mask their child. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. i am very passionate about this and I will continue to fight for my rights! God bless you all.

The only way to maintain in -person schooling during a pandemic is to follow the layered protection strategies outlined by the CDC, advocated by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and strongly recommended by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services: httDs://www.michi(ian.aov/documents/coronavirus/COVID- 19 Guidance for Oueratino Schools Safelv 728838 7.odf One of the vital layers in the protection strategy is universal masking in schools. It has been proven time and again that masks work to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and it has never been proven that there are any health or emotional risks from wearing masks. Children did so well all last year without issue, and any who cannot mask can opt to do schooling from home. Please continue your leadership in this effort, and uphold the mask mandate in schools.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. And to be completely honest, find a lot of these parents obnoxious, annoying, and uneducated... classless even, so feel free to iqnore the sentence above about parental rights and choice. That's not what I'm all about. I am a frontline worker at a hospital, I have earned my doctorate in physical therapy, and I work amongst highly educated physicians, psychologists, nurses, and most of all patients. I am a mother of two teenagers, so also surrounded by children. Worse than any part of this pandemic are the detrimental effects it is having on so many people's mental health and happiness. People are suffering. Humans need to be able to express and read emotions through their facial expressions. Technology is already causing a lack of empathy in our future generations... they do not need anymore barriers to this. My elderly patients aren't able to hear- through the masks, many rely on lip reading, and again the empathy. People just need to be able to look around and feel normal. I'm also 100%, in support of vaccinations which would of course get us back to normal much quicker, but I guess people are going to have to find out the hard way at some point. Those who are vaccinated have done their part I wish the hospitals, counties, states, country would enhance their statistical reports. People need to see not only the positive covids and the number of deaths, but also of the number of positive covids, how many are vaccinated and unvaccinated. Of those vented covid patients, how many are vaccinated and unvaccinated. Maybe that would wake their ignorant brains up. My hospital typically has less than 15% of their covid patients being vaccinated, and none of those vented. But I digress, just an additional suggestion!;) Thank you for all of your efforts and dealing with all of the associated stressors involved in your job. Just please consider my above plea. I truly fear depression, anxiety, and suicide in my/our children far more than anything covid itself can cause.

Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eihninate an already - marginalized population: chronically ill children and children who are not eligible for the vaccine. And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting to be eligible to received the vaccine Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, but mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side ofhishny, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy.

Our child attends elementary in the Waterford School District, one of the holdouts until the order was enforced. I simply could not fathom sending my precious child, who is too young to be vaccinated, into a school with zero COVID-19 safety measures in place as the highly contagious Delta variant rages. We know from health experts that universal masking —not optional masking —is highly effective in stopping the spread of COVID-19. This is especially important for our little ones who are still SO venerable right now. As the school year begins, we are seeing the devastating consequences of poor decisions by government and educational leaders nationwide who are refusing to follow health experts and are caving into pressure from hostile anti -mask parents who care more about "personal freedoms" than spreading a deadly virus. Please know these folks are the minority. The vast majority of parents, families and our community are so incredibly thankful to Oakland County for making the right choice —the choice that keeps our children safe and gets us all one step closer to ending this pandemic once and for all.

Sincerely, Megan Harmon Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9-2-21 PJKTeacher <zendelknap@gmail.com> Fri 9i=11.021 9'58 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Commissioners, I am writing to express my alarm over the fact that you are considering reversing the county health department's mask mandate. Science, health and medicine shouldn't be politicized. Doctors of every political persuasion have been wearing masks for decades upon decades, because they work! They prevent the spread of disease! The Delta variant is one of the most infectious viruses known to humans. An infected person carries a thousand times more virus in the nasal passage as the original COVID -19 strain. This variant will be a pandemic of the unvaccinated, a majority of whom are now gathered in classrooms around the country. We're already seeing schools who began with no mask mandate closing due to the large number of cases in their schools. The instability of flip-flopping from in person to virtual is worse than staying virtual last year. We want safe, in -person school, which means mask mandates, social distancing and contact tracing protocols must be in place. Oakland County's response in the face of this risk must be one of continued vigilance so that our schools don't become the Delta ground zero of our community. I am a mother of school age children in Oakland County who are too young to be vaccinated. We have several health issues in our family that make COVID a higher risk for us. Yet, due to the lack of a robust remote school option this year, we feel forced to send our unvaccinated children back to school in person. While we do feel that being in person is best for them, we only felt (barely) comfortable sending them because of the mask mandate. If you vote to overturn this mask mandate, I will no longer feel safe sending my children to school. What will I do then? Wearing masks largely protects the other person, because it keeps their viral particles from flying out of their mouths, into the air, where they will invariably land on the masks of others, as well as other frequently touched surfaces. This is why it does little good to wear a mask if others are not also wearing theirs. I hope that you will make the right choice, to uphold the mask mandate, and not join the ranks of others who are politicizing something that shouldn't be politicized, Choose to be on the right side of history.

I support parental rights and choice for each child. It's hard to express my frustration with mask mandates because they are fundamentally wrong on so many levels. How is it possible that the... Federal Government has no mask mandate. State Government has no mask mandate.. And yet, the Supreme Leaders of Oakland County Board of Education have ruled mask mandates are medically necessary to attend school. How is it possible that this body has acted unilaterally to make medical decisions for ALL children? What does this board know that others do not? Who has given them the divine right to make medical decisions for my child? This board has overstepped its power and authority under the law regarding medical decisions for minors.

Hallie Tharp Official Entry for Commissioners Meeting on 9/2/2021 Kathy Sawicki <khdamians@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/20-_'1 9:59 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> i AM FERVENTLY IN FAVOR OF A MASK MANDATE IN OAKLAND COUNTY!!! I am elderly and fully vaccinated, as are all my extended family members. However, given the rise of the delta variant, and the presence of the militant anti -mask, anti-vax minority in this community I can no longer go to meetings such as last night's Commissioners meeting. When my brother-in-law was dying of cancer at Beaumont Hospital two weeks ago, I saw anti -mask hospital visitors in the halls and visitor lounge of the hospital "proudly" wearing their masks under their chins. The hospital is doing a fantasticjob of screening visitors at the entrance and providing masks, but these immature people care nothing about the health of the non-Covid patients and their families who are also in a HOSPITAL. The majority of my high school class is declining to attend our 50th high school reunion in October because of fear of Delta and the risk of travel — we are all vaccinated, but many individuals or their spouses are immune compromised. Before Covid, we were a well travelled bunch, and werejust starting to go on the road again a couple months ago when Delta struck and the anti -mask and anti-vax folks came out in droves. We no longer feel safe traveling, or even going to a grocery store, and our lives cannot be normal if people refuse to wear rnasks indoors. I could go on and on, but I will end by telling you about my 6 year old great-granddaughter who is starting first grade in Waterford. Her parents are vaccinated and she has a baby brother born on July 19th. She and her brother cannot be vaccinated. She needs to be in school, but she and the baby need to be safe. My grandson, her dad, and his wife were beside themselves when Waterford Schools refused to enact a mask mandate. The whole family breathed a sigh of relief when Oakland County enacted its school mask mandate. There are many of us who cannot return to normal life because of a selfish minority who care more for their supposed "freedom" than the lives of their neighbors and children — or even their own lives. Chris Long represents me on the Commission. Chris Long's vote against masking DOES NOT REPRESENT ME, my family, or the majority of lny neighbors. The rest of the commissioners need to do their job and protect the health and safety of the citizens of this county. Do not be bullied by the tactics of a vocal minority.

Public education by definition is designed for ALL students. Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history,'and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids.

Thank you for reading my statement as I was unable to speak due to the number of people. It is imperative that Oakland County continue to protect its people, namely those who cannot get a vaccine. Masking has been scientifically proven to be effective in reducing the risk of transfer of infectious diseases including COVID-19. However, this is mostly when ALL parties are wearing a mask. We will never be able to reduce the spread of this pandemic, as it continues to mutate (as viruses do) if we do not keep safe precautions. Please continue to recommend wearing masks. But I also implore the health departments of this state to NOT listen to the rhetoric of the personally -driven, selfish, and poorly -informed parties that quote inaccurate data in order to promote their belief that if you ignore a pandemic, it will go away. I've already lost several people in my life to this. My parents still feel the long-term effects of COVID-19. Masking mandates are needed until the virus can be maintained with vaccinations and ongoing precautions. Our children's lives and futures are at risk. If you feel claustrophobic from a mask, try a ventilator or coffin, is my statement to those against. Thank you, be safe. Kelly Schrubba Oakland County resident, mother of two, school OT.

I am a grandmother of young children that are currently required to wear mask in school all day. I believe if you follow the science, there is no reason to make these children wear mask. Several experts spoke last night concerning the mask and their effectiveness, the social aspect and restrictive breathing aspect. Why would we require the children to adhere to these rules? The fact that the BOG took a vote on the mask mandate prior to listening to parents and experts is very concerning. It speaks volumes to the elected officials total disregard and respect for who they are suppose to be serving during their term. I believe those that voted to keep mask mandates in place will understand this better when they are voted out in 2022. There has been an awakening in the people, that has been sleeping and not paying attention, but they are now fully engaged and will not tolerate this disrespect from their elected officials. I understand that this situation we find ourselves in, is unprecedented and these are difficult decisions, but you have to listen to the experts and they spoke last night. I hope the BOG will have sessions to discuss their constituents wishes. consult and review expert data and make the right decision. Thank -you, Shirley Heath Troy PS - As I add all commissioners to this email, I see a few commissioners using their personal emails? I don't understand how this is appropriate on a government website for an elected position to have mail for the county going to their personal email, can anyone explain why?

As a mother of two school age children with an even younger one at home, I felt helpless as I watched our school district and community head into another school year with even fewer mitigation strategies in place than they had last year. Despite the rising number of cases, the fact that children under 12 cannot be vaccinated, and the fact that we are dealing with a much more transmissible variant, our school districts felt paralyzed to act in a meaningful way to protect our students. They made it clear that they wanted and needed that direction and decision to act to come from the Health Department. Thank you for making the difficult decision and for facing the irrational anger of those who cannot see themselves as responsible members of a community, but only as individual victims. We must take our responsibilities seriously to the larger community to care for our neighbors and those who cannot protect themselves, and I am proud to live in a county with a Health Department that takes that responsibility seriously.

Our children are not at risk and neither do masks work. Many doctors yesterday have confirmed that masks don't work and also the dangers associated with mask wearing for kids. I have a masters in child and family development and know how damaging covering the face is for a child's mental, emotional and psychological development. This lie that kids are resilient is false! Early childhood trauma is real! And that's what you are doing to our kids now. Traumatizing them for a virus they are not at risk for. My daughterjust started kindergarten. She is absolutely devastated that she has to wear masks. She tells me she can't breath in it. This is literally child abuse! Most European countries are not masking their kids!!! They too care for their children. They too are looking closely at the studies and data available and came with the conclusion that masks are more harmful than helpful to children. Even Australia with their extremely strict policies on Covid are not masking their kids. Your letter states that you are basing this mandate on a study from North Carolina. This study is NOT peer reviewed. On top of that it's an invalid study since they could not compare it to a school with no masks and with the same age group. Any person that has received a scientific schooling knows this is NOT how you conduct research! They themselves say DONT USE THIS STUDY FOR MEDICAL POLICIES. This means your ridiculous evidence is wrong and skimpy!!! Yet you decided to harm our children with this mandate!! One last point is you are way overstepping your boundaries. You claim you know better than us parents. You seem to claim that you care more for our kids than we as parents do. You are overstepping on school board decisions that parents choose to elect. You even decided to mandate this on private schools. Parents like ourselves have decided to take a financial sacrifice by sending our children to a private school. For reasons so we could be exempt from tyranny from the government. Yet here you are overstepping on our freedom to decide the best thing for our children! This is unconstitutional! Therefor I strongly urge you to reverse this mandate!! Thank you Sent from my Whone Mask Mandate Andria Hayes-Diop <hayes.diop@gmaiI.com> Sri 1 VI 04 4,vl To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov com> Public education by definition is designed for ALL students. Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. My son is immune compromised and also receives services in the public schools for his learning disability. It is important for him to be In school for his services but to do so with other students and staff unmasked and unvaccinated would be too risky. See even the mild cold can make him very ill and possibly need to be hospitalized. We would like to think that the simple request to wear a mask would not be too much to ask. Working in the schools I have found majority of students see the classroom as an extension of their family, they do not want to see their friends become seriously ill whether it is from a virus or a severe food allergy reaction. It is the parents that are the most vocal against such policies (mask wearing, nut free classroom) as they do not get to witness these connections/bonds that teacher and students develop in the school year. Freedom isn't freedom if It doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids. Thank you, Andria Hayes Diop, White Lake Unmask our children.

We must protect our children despite others' poor choices. I empathize completely with the frustration of fighting against others refusal to believe in covid-19 and the true destruction it can do. But I have witnessed it myself every day since March 2020. At least once a week I sit face to face with someone who is regretful of their own choices. Public education by definition is designed for ALL students. Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already marginalized population: chronically ill children. And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Claims that covid is 99% survivable for children and therefore children should be required to take precautions is a slap in the face to the children and families of the 47 children who have died of Covid in this country in the last 2 weeks alone. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. My children cannot bring nuts into school for the safety of others. They ride in a carseat for the very slim chance of a car accident- why should wearing a mask be any different? It's only different because politicians have chosen to make it political. Not once have my children complained about wearing a mask in school. They are just happy to be there. Do they have special powers? Or are theyjust not influenced by their parents' perceptions. As a medical student I spent long hours wearing a mask in the operating room. I've worn a mask at work for the last 18 months. I've yet to suffer from hypoxia, increased CO2 retention or brain damage. These claims are just completely bogus and false. I've also not contracted covid-19 despite staring into the mouths of infected patients- masks DO work. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals including myself who are saying masks are best for kids.

Our children attend Rochester Community Schools (RCS). Before the Order was issued last week, the RCS administration had announced that masks would be optional for students and staff this year, and it would no longer use the daily screening process. As a result of the RCS administration's irresponsible and unsafe decision, we felt we had no choice but to enroll our kids in the virtual program again this year. As did many others. Others still felt they had no choice but to leave the district. Now, with the Health Department Order in place, parents feel far more comfortable sending their children back to in -person classrooms. This mask mandate is critical to ensure that the schools require masks. Mask Choice in a pandemic is not an option and as we see all across states and counties where masks are optional - the districts are closing down due to widespread illness, and pediatric hospitalizations are at an all time high. The political posturing seen by the Republican Commissioners including Kochenderfer the commissioner for my district 15 is appalling. Do not think we cannot see it for the political stunt it was and we will remember this come election time. The vote was "to suspend the rules" and allow a last minute addition of the proposal. The GOP commissioner that proposed it knew that no rational commissioner would vote to do this. He also knew that the Dems could be counted on to shoot it down so the GOP could safely go on record voting yes. Not a single commissioner in that roorn voted on the issue, but the GOP knows it would be perceived that way and rally the anti vax and anti mask crowd. This was strategic. And we see right through your games. And its also a dangerous game. Playing with the health of children for the sake of politics and power is one of the lowest things I have witnessed to date. This stunt has indeed riled up the anti maskers. They will try to make it more difficult on the schools to enforce this order, But we - the parents who actually care for all human life and believe in science and taking care of EACH OTHER. WE are the true majority and far more organized and educated on the laws and how this order is indeed enforceable and we will make sure our schools have the backing they need to enforce masks. its the anti maskers turn to do virtual if they cannot care about others above themselves. Thank you to our Health Department, all of our Democrat Commissioners and our County Executive Dave Coulter who are clearly on the side of our children and will do what it takes to protect them no matter the size of the anti masker crowd, no matter the threats and insults hurled their way by a base of people riled up by GOP propaganda. THANK YOU for putting our children FIRST above all else. We will always remember the stand you took for our kids and our communities in this time. We will rally at election time to support your re election and to help democrat challengers campaign against the GOP commissioners who supported to rescind this order.

Marie Jurado <juradom45@gmad.com> t=n 10 05 AAA To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <cierk@oakgov.com> Dear Oakland County Health Officials, I have a 10 year old and 13 year old in Huron Valley Schools and I teach in South Lyon. I am very concerned about Covid cases and the Delta variant rising in Michigan, especially Oakland County. I know the other voices are loud, but they are not the majority. I ask that you maintain the mask mandate and keep out children, teachers, and communities safe. My family is vaccinated, except my 10 year old son who is not eligible to receive the vaccine yet The CDC, AAP, Beaumont, Henry Ford, and numerous doctors and scientists believe that masks should be mandated in schools. As a teacher, I witnessed firsthand students coming to school who were in close contact with family members in their house who had Covid. These parents would not admit to the exposure and keep their children home. We know this will continue to happen, putting children at risk if masks are not mandated. I realize wearing masks is not fun, but there are no risks with wearing masks. There are dangerous risks with not wearing masks. Please help our schools be safe places to learn. The mask mandate can help prevent students from having to go remote again and will help prevent community spread of Covid. As we watch what is unfolding in southern states as students return to school, we should be very concerned. This is what our students will be facing if masks are not required. We need to do what we can to prevent a strain on our healthcare systems. Thank you for listening!

I was relieved to hear the news of a mask mandate for Oakland County school districts and applaud the commission for this decision. The Covid pandemic with its constantly changing landscape is a difficult one to navigate for elected officials who also carry that burden. Some people will be unhappy, so the best course of action is always to error on the side of caution and what is best for the common good. PLEASE KEEP the MASK MANDATE!!! I believe an overwhelming majority of parents want their children back in school. Keeping them there and not having to shut things down when kids start getting sick should be the goal. Buildings opening with teachers and kids unvaccinated and not wearing masks goes against the research and advice of experts in pediatrics, epidermiology and contagious disease and completely defies logic.

Please see that all commissioners receive the following. Oakland County Board of Commissioners, I will keep this short as last night you heard testimonials from medical professionals, environmental experts, teachers, students, and parents who — based on facts and data — have made their case so well that if you do not reverse this mandate, we will know for certain there is more to it than "for our safety." I did want to thank you all. You have made me realize that more than ever I need to research who our Board of Commissioners are when elections roll around. I shamefully admit that up until this year I assumed that most of you were decent people who cared about what we — your constituents — want. Now, I realize, just how important local elections are. Why anyone believes a single word of any local, state, or federal government these days is beyond me. You made it evident last night that we cannot believe you have our best interest at heart. And why did you hold the vote before you allowed people to speak?! That just shows you had your minds made up before anyone spoke — and that was also apparent by many of the commissioners' lack of respect and attention to those addressing the Board. To those of you who support our children and want this mandate reversed —THANK YOU! As of yesterday, according to the Oakland County website, in our "surging" county, .005% of Oakland County's population has an active case of Covid. That is ALL ages, not school -aged children. Tell me how that justifies this action. There is so much more all of us could say, and if this mandate is not reversed you all will definitely hear it.

Angela David Sent from my iPhone Public Comment 9/2/2021 Justine Bidigare <mikejustine@yahoo.com> Ft19/ /2021 1066 NM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk(?)oakgov.com> Good morning, Although I waited for hours outside yesterday, I had to leave before i was give a chance to speak at the board meeting. As a new resident of Lyon Township in Oakland County, I wanted to voice my concern with the over -reach of the Oakland County Health Division as it pertains to the most recent mask mandate. There was extensive testimony, by highly qualified individuals, given last night. This included comments by doctors, nurses, teachers, ppe specialists and, yes, even parents, who are the MOST qualified to make decisions for their own children. Those who spoke did a great job of presenting data and real -life, human experience supporting the same conclusion; masks don't belong on our children and the health department has no authority to continue to issue these kinds of mass mandates. We are NOT in an emergency situation. Even with multiple variants of the virus in circulation, we know now how this virus works - the way it behaves in the body, have a variety of treatment options and have sufficient ppe and hospital availability to handle this. (We are experiencing understaffed hospitals thanks to other tyrannical mandates. but that's an argument for another time) It's time now to return to life as normal (not this "new normal' nonsense) and learn to live with this virus as we live with all the others (remember those?). With that, there are still mitigation options people may CHOOSE to use and that is their right even if it is a false sense of safety. However, that doesn't give anyone the authority to mandate these for everyone, least of all children. That is a violation of OUR rights. You, as an elected board and ultimately the folks responsible for the health department appointees, do not get to hold normal life hostage and only allow it based on compliance to your arbitrary rules. That is not how this works. We the people are in charge. You work for us. Do your job and represent the MAJORITY who are demanding you lift this mandate immediately. Thank you for your time and for allowing speakers to continue well into the night. Thank you for accepting written emails to be included in the comments for those of us who couldn't stay the entire time.

Our superintendent said masks would be optional and then not even a week before school a mask mandate was issued by OCHD. The passing time between classes is 5 minutes so they are not around one person more than 15 minutes. Also when they are sitting in class there is no reason that they have to be worn because they are spread out with their own desks. Middle and high school kids are able to get the vaccine so having a rnask mandate makes no sense. Our kids need to be able to breathe, especially during sports and the decisions should be left up to the parents. Reverse the mask mandate.

Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. My son is immune compromised and also receives services in the public schools for his learning disability. It is important for him to be in school for his services but to do so with other students and staff unmasked and unvaccinated would be too risky. See even the mild cold can make him very ill and possibly need to be hospitalized. We would like to think that the simple request to wear a mask would not be too much to ask. Working in the schools I have found majority of students see the classroom as an extension of their family, they do not want to see their friends become seriously ill whether it is from a virus or a severe food allergy reaction. It is the parents that are the most vocal against such policies (mask wearing, nut free classroom) as they do not get to witness these connections/bonds that teacher and students develop in the school year. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids.

I do not support mandates, that act as law/order, that are implemented by unelected officials. Our voice as constituents is implemented through a democratic election process. When bureaucratic actors, like the Oakland County Health Division leadership, make law - the democratic process and our voices go silent. This is unacceptable, especially where as here, the law/orders are unfortunately being used for political gain and hierarchy. What makes this situation even worse is that the mandate of masking school children is not based on unimpeachable health and safety evidence. Rather, the school masking mandate tells ME what to do with MY children, in the face of facts that suggest school masking can do more harm than good. I believe that the health (including mental health) issues some children may suffer from being required to wear a mask apprx. 8 hours per day are greater than any benefit that a mask may (or may not) provide against virus. Therefore, it should be my (or any constituent's) choice whether to send their child to school with a mask. A unelected official should not make that decision for me. Thank you. Kyle S.

The only way to maintain in -person schooling during a pandemic is to follow the layered protection strategies outlined by the CDC, advocated by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and strongly recommended by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services: httos://www.michioan.aov/documents/coronavirus/COVID- 19 Guidance for Ooeratina Schools Safely 728838 7.odf One of the vital layers in the protection strategy is universal masking in schools. It has been proven time and again that masks work to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and it has never been proven that there are any health or emotional risks from wearing masks. Children did so all year last year without issue, and any who cannot mask can opt to do schooling from home. Please continue your leadership in this effort, and uphold the mask mandate in schools.

The benefits of resuming in -person education, with safety measures in place, outweigh the very minor inconvenience of masking and social distancing. Our K-5 kids do not have the option to help protect themselves via the vaccine. They simply do not have the choice to help here! Even colleges are mandating vaccines, as they mandated masks. For our young children, COVID hasn't gone anywhere. Even with the vaccine for teens/adults, (mind you this is still not at a high enough rate) COVID is still here and the delta variant is spreading rapidly. Our childrens' safety should be at the top of your list of concerns and it is appearing otherwise. We all see what is happening in Florida where children 12 and under are now leading positive cases within the state. If we lift the mandate we will likely suffer the same fate with children quaranting throughout the school year and being forced into virtual sessions. Of course, this isn't all about the children, the more spread within the youth population, the more spread within the community, prolonging the pandemic and putting lives at risk. Until a vaccination is approved for children and we see significant statistical decrease in cases and hospitalizations, the right thing is to uphold the mask mandate and not to let a majority of other's pressure you into making the "popular" choice!

Thank you Mask Mandate kcshamrock <kcshamrock@aol.com> Fri 9/3/20_7 9:50.AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Commissioners: I am writing to urge you to continue to advocate for mask requirements in Oakland County Schools. Kiddos under 12, like mine, are unable to be vaccinated and are at great risk. Please do all that you can to protect children and their right to receive an in person learning opportunity. Last year the use of masks and mitigation efforts particularly in our district, showed just how successful the school year can be, even in a pandemic when efforts are organized and proactive. There are medical waivers available for those children that have any medical condition that may hinder their ability to wear a mask. All children deserve the opportunity to have the safest and most equitable learning environment possible, particularly those that have survived cancer, have heart or lung issues, have diabetes or any other health condition that may put them at greater risk. Sometimes choice in a community or society, doesn't mean everyone's choice, it means the choice of those disadvantaged. It is why sometimes we have peanut free classrooms and why we make sure buildings are handicap accessible, because it is the right thing to do. Evidence in support of masking as a COVID-19 prevention method continues to grow. Please listen to health experts and protect children that are relying on their schools, districts and government agencies to keep them safe while under their watch.

I strongly encourage the Board to abandon these attempts and allow the mask mandate to remain in place. Masks work to prevent transmission of coronavirus. Requiring them to be worn properly at all times in our schools will not only help to stop the spread of this disease, but will provide a necessary level of protection to kids who are currently too young to be vaccinated against Covid. We only need to look to states like Texas and Florida to see the results of mask optional policies. I have three elementary school age children, and the prospect of sending them to a mask optional classroom setting, with a highly infectious variant running rampant and no vaccination available to them, is terrifying to me. OCHD stepped up to implement a public health measure during a public health crisis to protect the health of our community, do not throw their work away in an attempt to win partisan brownie points. Lindsay Graziano District 3 Resident Public comment Sarah Pogasic <sarah.pogasic@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 9:51 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> My name is Sarah Pogasic and I am an Oakland Township resident and Rochester Community Schools parent. I support Kochenderfer's proposed resolution. Our youngest children should not be masked in school while learning to read, write, and understand vocabulary. Frankly, no child should be masked unless it's a choice made by their parents. My middle child isjust entering Kindergarten and she has already complained she is too scared to talk with a mask on in class, she doesn't get breaks, and i worry a possible speech delay may be ignored since no teacher can understand her with a mask anyway. My oldest daughter is in second grade and she is confused why she now spends music class singing about masks being "cool". This is not okay. Parents should be able to make the best decision for their children. Please approve the proposed resolution.

I fully support Commissioner Kochendeifer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for every child. We are one of few counties with a mandate of these nature. Just across the county line our neighbors children are tree to attend school without a mask. My 3 middle and high school children have reported me how difficult it is for them to learn with a mask on. All 3 with Us for challenges that already make learning more difficult. 2 of my kids wear glasses and struggle to see due to the constant battle of glasses fogging up. My kids found it difficult to connect with their peers in some of the most difficult and important social times (adolescent and first year of high school). , Additionally the data does not support the need for school aged children to mask. They are the lowest risk population. Why are we masking, testing and quarantining the healthy? We don't and haven't done this for any other illness or virus. I urge you to please remove the mandate.

Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates.optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not Indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids.

How is it possible that the... Federal Government has no mask mandate. State Government has no mask mandate. And yet, the Supreme Leaders of Oakland County Board of Education have ruled mask mandates are medically necessary to attend school. How is it possible that this body has acted unilaterally to make medical decisions for ALL children? What does this board know that others do not? Who has given them the divine right to make medical decisions for my child? This board has overstepped its power and authority under the law regarding medical decisions for minors.

I am very disappointed that Oakland County is considering rescinding the mask mandate. This move tells me that it is NOT about the children but motivated politically. The CDC makes recommendations for a reason. They are the experts in the matter. This mask mandate isn't forever, however, we are in a world wide pandemic. If the goal is to keep schools open so the kids can learn then we need to be prudent in doing what we know has worked. Not having a mask mandate will cause bigger problems. Schools will be shutting down for days/weeks at a time be staff and students will be in quarantine due to covid. Just look at what is happening in Tennessee. Ultimately, the children's education suffers. Wearing masks is inconvenient and uncomfortable but if we get a handle on this it won't be a forever -thing. Kids are tough and will survive through wearing a mask, but will they survive if they get covid? My kids have a right to being protected while in school. 1 am in full support to a mask mandate.

Or, with the new policies, only a handful if students from each class end up quarantined at a time, which increases the complexity our teachers have manage a hybrid environment through in person and virtual instruction. People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing normal about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. Masks, like any other dress code item, are in place to minimize distractions from learning. In this case, wearing a mask allows kids a consistent learning experience with far less distraction as was demonstrated through the limited transmission last year when masking was universal. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools.

Official Entry for Commissioner's Committee on 9.2.2021 Jessica Faath <jlh71477@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/202'i 9:54 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, I am an Oakland County parent with 2 children under the age of 12. 1 am imploring you today to please continue to uphold your excellent mask mandate that was previously in place before the start of my children's school year in Bloomfield Hills. You have all the data you need, you have made this decision once before. You know masks work! Why are we looking to change that now? Will this county really be held hostage to who the "loudest mouth" is? Our children's health and safety is on the line. America is beautiful because we all have rights, but those individual's rights end where another person's rights begin. My children have the right to attend school in a safe environment. My children live under policies that protect the greater good every day. They do not take favorite peanut butter sandwiches to school or enjoy almonds or hummus as snacks to protect the children at school with allergies. They practice emergency lockdown and take cover drills to make sure all children and staff are safe from intruders wishing to cause harm. They practice additional lockdowns to show sensitivity to children who may be hurt or have an emotional crisis. Their school day is stopped if a special needs child has entered their classroom and is having an emotional episode. How is a facial covering more detrimental than these disruptions to their learning? Simply stated, it is not. My children participate in every one of these policies, including your excellent mask mandate, gladly and with understanding that this is not only for their own protection but the community around them. This is what my children's community needs for ALL children to experience a safe learning environment. We are still in the depths of a global pandemic that has changed all of our lives. It will not end without all of our communities doing everything possible to offer safety and protection to all. The political, ego- centric and social -damning arguments and demands must stop. It is time for our local, state and national authorities to confirm their lead and make sure the general public is protecting the rights of all. You have the authority and the civic responsibility to continue to uphold your mask mandate. Please continue to listen to the experts, health care providers and medical professionals who are desperately trying to advise the people with authority to keep everyone safe and lead us out of this pandemic.

Amanda Hermiz Feedback on the Mask Mandate Leo G <leonidgarbuzov@gmail.com> `,1 9/3/2021 9:54 AINA To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <cferk@oakgov.com>; Oakland County Board of Commissioners <boc@oakgov.Com>; Gingell, Michael James <gingellm@oakgov.com> Honorable Commissioners, As a Lake Orion Resident, I had the dubious pleasure of listening in on the Youtube feed from last night's meeting. I will be blunt and direct. First off, I am extremely grateful to the 11 of you with the common sense and wherewithal to reject the anti mask proposal. While I am proud to be an American, I was not born in this country. What Americans fail to realize is that the mask -wearing issue is not just a local debate. Mask -wearing as a means to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is a world-wide initiative. It is shameful and pathetic to me that a handful of local "experts", doctors and nurses with dubious credentials, believe that they know and understand this issue better than 98% of the world. Canada has mask mandates. So does Israel. Most of the U.K. still has mask mandates in some way, shape or form, as do many if not most countries in Europe. These are countries where the rates of infection of COVID-19 are substantially lower than what we have seen in the United States. It is remarkable to me that our friends and neighbors believe that their children are in a unique predicament, which will inhibit their ability to learn, to communicate, or to even breathe normally. This attitude shows a complete ignorance of what is happening in the world. I am extremely ashamed to be living in the same district as Commissioner Gingell and want to make it extremely clear that he does not speak for me, my household, or for other hard-working, sincere, and considerate people of Lake Orion, who believe in science and common sense. I hope that you can continue to put the health of our communities and our children above the selfish and petty political games of a very vocal minority, whose ridiculous comparisons of mask mandates to Nazi Germany shows not only a tremendous lack of knowledge of history, but an alarming lack of dignity, compassion, and basic humanity. I sincerely hope that you remain in good health and in good spirits during these difficult times.

I would see this reversal move it forward immediately. My family and 1 do not support the mask mandates in public schools. I support parental rights and choice for each child. Furthermore, there is very little supporting evidence, especially for cloth masks, that they offer increased protection from protecting people from respiratory illnesses. In fact based on the data from the study below cloth masks seem very in effective and can actually increase the wearers chances of contracting a respiratory illness like Covid-19.

We will not be able to look our children in the eyes and tell them we did everything we could to end this crisis if we allow political preferences to interfere with professional medical guidance. My children learned from home for the entire 2020-2021 school year. I thank our Walled Lake teachers for their dedication and hard work. This year my children are back at their neighborhood school for in -person learning. With COVID-19 still active in our community it is clear that my children and ALL students deserve access to multiple layers of mitigation against the virus. A mask mandate will keep more children in schools this year. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is,certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids. I implore you to allow medical professionals to dictate policy and protocol when it comes to the health and safety of our community.

Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. ,And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger fan- ly unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy.

Wearing masks (which have no clear data are effective) for my kids to attend school is not a decision my county health department or government should be making! If families are concerned and want to send their children in mask, then they have that right... families should also have the right to NOT have students wear a mask. It is called a parental choice!!! We do not support mask mandates or any future mandates for vaccines and will be removing our children from public education if this persists. What has been going on with the mask mandate and the actions at the PUBLIC county commisioners board meeting last night was ridiculous!! As taxpayers we have the right to attend a public meeting (allowing only 67 people is the huge room) blatantly had nothing to do with Covid but was a strong arm approach to pushing out public comment. THEN having the motion by Commisioner Kochenderfer completely ignored was another clear sign that there is no formal process anyone is willing to take o follow ... this is political control! We are sending this to send a message we are in full support of Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. 1 do not support any type of mandates. We support having a choice as a parent and the rights/choice for our 4 children! We WILL NOT tolerate the actions of the board or Dave Coulter.

Children are more likely to die in a car accident or drown, than they are to die from covid. Masks may be effective if worn properly, but I don't believe that children (or many adults) are doing so. I believe in freedom and mandating masks is taking away our choice to choose. I beg of you to please speak out for our freedom to choose. In March of 2021 my 7 year old daughter was hospitalized with bacterial pneumonia. The doctors and nurses said they were seeing more cases than ever - of pneumonia in children. Considering a child's survival risk from covid is in the 99% range, it is notjustified to have them wear germ -infested masks in school. My daughter has severe asthma and sees an immunologist. I care more about my children's health than anyone else, and I think the mask is putting her at higher risk than covid is. I want my girls to breathe fresh air, instead of re -circulating air in their mask. I want my girls to smile and be expressive to others. I want my girls to be focused on learning in school, instead of being distracted by a face mask! The current covid cases and the covid transmission rate amongst children, does NOT warrant this mask mandate. I hope that you will take this into consideration.

This mask mandate has got to stop!! We need to get back to our God-given rights of freedom. People can choose to stay home, wear a mask and do school virtually, if they are afraid ... but do not punish the rest of the children who are ready to get back to life and school normally. They have suffered enough these past 18 months. I know a lot of people who support unmasking children... some very wealthy and influential. It is time to do the right thing and unmask our kids! Oakland County must take the lead on this. We already saw how the election was stolen by Biden and the destruction that has caused. Don't destroy our children too.

There is and has never been any scientific evidence that masks actually protect a person from the novel coronavirus. When scientists study infectious diseases, such as Coronavirus.

Even the best mask is available to the public. N95 manufacture will not guarantee the mask will protect you. IT should also be understood. If masks are to be worn in public buildings. Can the Health Division prove each facility has an OSAH written Certification, showing there has been a Hazard Assessment... and what Hazzard's are there, will the health division, force employers, such as Oakland Count to pay Hazzard -pay for employees working in a hazardous environment.

First, I want to thank everyone who voted for the mask mandates. I have a elementary student in the Lake Orion School District. The reason I am writing in is to give my reasons why a mask mandate is important and should continue. For those have taken this seriously (which it is) and gotten vaccinated and masked up to control the spread our children have yet to be approved to get vaccinated if under 12. How is that fair? To take all these precautions just to send to school in close quarters ( Lake Orion is no longer social distancing) with kids without masks. Our district's superintendent and board is too scared to make a decision that goes against the squeaky wheel of anti mask people in fear of losing theirjob to protect our student body. With the new quartintine rules of mask wearers and non mask wearing you would think that they would want more masks to worn in order to keep as many students as possible in the classroom. But it seems as if they will cross that bridge if anger when they come to it rather than stating what I just said. Nobody wants to be Florida. They are leading example of what not to do in the pandemic. I get it, masks are uncomfortable and we really don't know how are body's are going to react to the vaccine 5 years down the road. But the counter to that is we don't know how bad covid will affect us in 5 years either or even how bad you will get it. Will it be no symptoms, minor cold, severe, hospitalization or death. Because at this point we all knoe of some people who has fit in each one of these categories. I thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.

I was told I can email in a public comment to be entered into the public record from last night's meeting, so please consider this my statement. My name is Dane Jackson and I am a South Lyon parent with a child going back into school for the first time in almost two years. We chose to have her go virtual last year, but it was important for her to be in -person this year since she was moving up into middle school. I've been pretty disappointed that public health and safety has been so politicized. This is a non -partisan issue. This isn't a conservative issue. This isn't a liberal issue. This is a community issue. The fact is, schools will have a mixed community of vaccinated and unvaccinated children in the halls with very little opportunity for social distancing. The counties without mask rules (Livingston) are seeing increased COVID cases and quarantines. I don't want to see that to happen to Oakland County schools. Masks have become this weird personal freedom issue. I've seen people compare them to child abuse. I've seen them compared to dictatorships. I've seen them likened to the Holocaust. That's all emotional hyperbole. Don't let the rhetoric influence your decision. Let your goal be community safety. At worst, wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience for a couple hours. At best, it's keeping our community safe. I would've been at the meeting last night, but with an unvaccinated child (too young) and a pregnant wife at home, the thought of being in a room with unmasked science deniers didn't sit well with me. Please see this as my official response. Please keep the mask emergency order in place. Thank you for your time.

Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy.

I am a registered democrat and will not be voting for those who opposed this resolution. I will however be voting for those who respect the wishes of choice!! We have never been so disappointed in our local government! When you have been asked where is the data and you still can't provide any! I have went to the website and I can't hardly understand any of it. Something is terribly wrong with that. There is no transparency whatsoever I would like to know when this will be up for discussion again. I worked in a school last year. The kids do not keep them on. At lunch and play they are in each other faces. It doesn't make sense that my kids can go everywhere else without a mask and then In school be in one?

Thank you, Lindsay Emery Oxford, MI Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Sherri Masson <sheres@me.com> Fn 9/>R021 9:13 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Oakland County Clerk - I was unable to enter the building last night. These are the comments I had prepared. Please include them in the minutes. I'm a Huron Valley Schools retired teacher and grandparent of kids who attend an Oakland County School District. One of the biggest responsibilities I had as a teacher was keeping my students safe. That weighed heavily on me. Many of my students spent more hours with me each week than they did their own parents due to difficult work schedules. Beyond providing them with instruction, keeping them safe was a sacred trust that I didn't take lightly. I was relieved to hear the news of a mask mandate for Oakland County school districts and applaud the health department for this decision. The Covid pandemic with its constantly changing landscape is a difficult one to navigate for public officials who also carry that burden. No matter what decision is made, at least half of the citizenry will be unhappy, so the best course of action, I believe, is to proceed with caution based on the best science available and act on behalf of the common good, Buildings opening with teachers and kids unvaccinated and not wearing masks goes against the research and advice of experts in pediatrics, epidemiology and contagious disease and completely defies logic. Ignoring the most commonly accepted precaution for the spread of this airborn virus and allowing unmasked teachers and students in packed classrooms is a violation of that sacred trust to keep our children safe. The consensus seems to be in favor of in -person learning. If that is the case, and I believe it is, then the question we should be asking each other is, how can we do it in a way that is sustainable? Shouldn't we exercise rational caution to mitigate the potential of spreading the virus and having to shut down buildings and interrupt schooling again? Let's work together for that common goal. The OC Health Department made the right decision to keep our students safe. Now let's come together using every tool available to achieve that goal.

But it is an important tool in our path back to normal and the only direct protection our elementary school children have since they are too young to be vaccinated. Universal masking along with social distancing and cohorting must continue to prevent disruption of the school year. I implore you to allow medical professionals to dictate policy and protocol when it comes to the health and safety of our community. We will not be able to look our children in the eyes and tell them we did everything we could to end this crisis if we allow political preferences to interfere with professional medical guidance. We must maintain a universal mask mandate in our schools until the experts say it is no longer necessary.

I support the mask order because our superintendent and the school administration have chosen the stance that it is not important to help keep our entire community safe by taking simple measures that could easily be followed by all student and staff. If these kids are unmasked they will continue to transmit this virus and spread it to other members of their family and community. This is only as big of a deal as parents make it. Kids are flexible and adjust while parents have chosen to make this a political issue. It is not about politics and I find it sad that it has come to that. The anti masker community unfortunately is also the anti vaxxer community. Science is showing that multi layers of protection will get us thru this. It's a fairly simple concept that has been clouded by anger about what? Let's keep our kids and community safe and let our kids stay in school. Without masks we are going to be remote... WATCH THE SOUTHI Is it going to take a teacher or student to die to get everyone on board? I hope not... Please keep the mandate in place and let our kids stay safe and in school.

Yesterday the CDC and Dr. Facui presented data to show that hospitalizations are NOT rising in places with high vaccination rates of adults. Per your own data, over 70% of people 16 and older are vaccinated in Oakland County- so WHY are we masking our youngest children? This virus poses no risk to them, to the point that we might not even know they have it. But what it does do is impede learning, and social emotional health. How is my 4 year old supposed to learn phonics when both they and the teacher are masked? Early education is reliant on facial expressions and lip reading. We do not need to worry about infecting our older population as they are vaccinated- per your data. The mask mandates are a gross overstep for a virus that is not posing a threat to the Oakland County community. Please rescind the mask mandate ASAP. Alexandra Lenkowski Response needed ASAP!

I do not support required mask or vaccine mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. I don't see how the current COVID numbers in Oakland county affecting children support this mandate. According to the numbers not a single child has died and I believe only 1 child has been hospitalized due to COVID. I feel the HD is over stepping their boundaries by imposing such a mandate without sufficient proof of danger to our youth. I feel the you should all be requesting the current numbers/data and your numbers should be based on REAL cases. Sincerely, Lona Battishill Sent from my iPhone What masking really looks like in schools Gwen Stewart <gwenstew@flash.net> Fn 9/3/2021 911 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov,com> Greetings, My name is Gwen Stewart and I teach in an Oakland Co school district. When you mandate masks, I'm not sure you understand the negative, cascading effect this has for students, families, and school staff 1. Because of masking, students have to again sit six feet separated at lunch That means at my school, lunch tables fill the entire cafeteria AND gym, which means the PE teachers' classroom is not available to her. She must take every class outdoors all the time. On truly inclimate days she has PE class in their classrooms. Hardly ideal I'm sure I don't need to cite the research on children and obesity. 2. Because of the number of tables in the cafe/gym, we now have three lunches. That means some children eat "lunch" at 10:30 AM and some eat "lunch" at 1:45 PM. Our one daytime custodian must be on duty that entire time wiping tables. Which means he cannot be cleaning the building or attending to other duties. 3. We have not had a concert in our school since 2018, 1 am the music teacher in my building and was fervently hoping to have them returned in the spring. But young children cannot sing for performance in masks. So concerts are once again cancelled. These are just four reasons that masks are not JUST masks. Other teachers could provide many additional issues masks cause. it seems to me that the downsides do not justify any little benefit they may provide, which is scientifically dubious to put it mildly. Please reconsider the mandate and let alt children, parents and school staff CHOOSE masking for themselves.

People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing norm about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members.

I am writing to have these comments entered into the record. Commissioners, I want to thank you for continuing to stand up for what's right and listening to scientists and public health experts, rather than selfish yahoos. The data shows that masks work by reducing overall infection rates; a positive person wearing a mask is far less likely to spread covid-19. Since most kids still cannot be vaccinated, masks are the only tool we have to keep kids first and foremost in school but, no less important, from becoming deathly ill, especially as we see the numbers of kids very ill with delta increase. My daughter is four and in pre -kindergarten. Last year she attended a private preschool where she wore a mask every day, five days a week. The school had ONE covid-related closure the entire year. Only compare that to the schools that have closed in their entirety in the south due to teacher deaths and staff shortages due to rapid spread of corona. It's an easy, simple measure to take and my daughter is proud to wear her mask to keep herself and her friends safe.

We did virtual school last year because the risk to our family with coronavirus is just too great. We are going in person this year, and although I am extremely nervous, I have some comfort knowing our school will do EVERYTHING in their power to insure the safety of ALL students. This includes mandating masks. I am so discouraged by parents and administrators that think it should be up to the parent. This is a public health crisis in which we need to look out for the welfare of our neighbor. We need to trust the science, and that makes it clear that masks are a great tool to help reduce spread. It isn't an absolute defense, but we need to do all we can. My children are not old enough to get the vaccine, and are relying on the adults to keep them as safe as possible. It is our obligation to do all we can to keep these kids safe. Please do the right thing and keep the order as it stands until every parent has the opportunity to vaccinate their child if they choose.

My son passed out last year and was under the care of a cardiologist at the age of 10 but his dr was afraid for his job if he wrote an exemption. I have spent thousands of dollars on mental healthcare for one of my kids. I had to find a private school without mandates and forced isolation so that I can save their lives. Meanwhile my third child was kicked out of public school. Because even though we were bullied into complying we are now strong enough to fight for our religious freedoms to keep our faces clear!

I am including links to two sites (below), with 47 studies confirming the ineffectiveness of masks and the negative health effects they cause as well as the science clearly demonstrating that masks do not stop the spread of respiratory viruses and put our health at risk. There is no scientific or accurate data to warrant this mandate and violates the law: 380.1307b Statement of prohibited practices. Sec. 1307b. The state policy under section 1307a shall include a clear statement that all of the following practices are prohibited for school personnel in the public schools of this state under all circumstances, including emergency situations: (a) Corporal punishment, as defined in section 1312. (b) The deprivation of basic needs. (c) Child abuse. (d) Seclusion, other than emergency seclusion. (e) The intentional application of any noxious substance pain or extreme discomfort.

I was unable to present this last night at the Board of Commissioner's meeting. All but a few residents were forced to wait outdoors for hours to speak, instead of being allowed inside the Commissioner's Auditorium as per all previous meetings. This change in behavior by Chairman Woodward against Oakland County residents has, in my opinion, reached a new low. Many residents arrived by 5:30 p.m, to attend the scheduled 6:00 p.m. meeting but only a few were allowed in at a time. They were forced to stay outside with very, very limited seating between their arrival and 11:00 p.m. when the meeting ended. They had no food, water, and some were soaked by sprinklers turned on the lawn where they had to sit for hours. I thought I lived in an America where we treated each other better than this, even when opinions differed on things like medical discrimination, forced injections, masks, and exceeding legal authority for making rules. I understand you are collecting other comments in writing so I'm sending this to you to include in the official record. I intended to read this Opinion piece at the meeting. It was published in the Detroit News in both the print and online editions on Wednesday, September 1st I'm really fed up with the way in which David Woodward and the Democrat Caucus members have been governing in our county. With so much at stake for residents, we need Commissioners who will listen and act when our rights are being trampled — whether it is by our own residents, or the County's own Director of Health. I thank God 1 live in District 3 where we have Mike Spisz to represent us and take forward our concerns ... even if they are ignored by the Democrat majority. Chairman Woodward's refusal to accept input, resolutions, or amendments from Republicans — and his treatment of residents wishing to speak -- will go down in county history as a turning point in partisan politics. As I said in the Detroit News, this must stop. Thank you for including this email. Once the official record of the September 2"d meeting is "closed", where do I go to get a copy? Thank you. Jay R. Taylor Officials must give answers on COVID policies Residents from Oxford, Lake Orion, Brandon Township, Troy and other cities in Oakland County have been trying to get the attention of the County Board of Commissioners for nearly four months. Beginning in May, many residents, including myself, have participated in commission meetings. We provided ample personal testimony about how employers, public schools and universities and private businesses have discriminated against those who are unable or unwilling to take the recommended COVID-19 injection. In July, residents were told by chairman David Woodward, a Democrat, to "move on." Since then, the commission has been playing all kinds of tricks to dissuade members of our community from participating in meetings. For example, residents learned upon arrival in Pontiac that scheduled meetings had been canceled. Other meetings were rescheduled to another day or time with little or no public notice. In August, Woodward decided to move the "public comment" section to the very end of each session, making residents wait up to two hours to speak. Democratic caucus meetings, where the majority meet separately to decide critical spending and other matters, are moved frequently. For example, residents who showed up for the June 30 meeting displayed on their calendar to start at 5 p.m. found it began at 3:30 p.m. We are tired of playing 'scat and mouse" with the Democratic leaders who run the commission. This unprofessional behavior must stop. Jay R.

I do not support mandates but support parental choice and choice for each child in deciding how best to protect themselves. I have 3 grade school children. Because of this mandate, I pulled all three kids from our local school district. I sent my youngest right across the county border to a county and school with NO mandate. The other two are doing on line virtual schooling. It is not the decision I wanted to make but it's the decision I HAD to make because of this tyrannical order that I will not subject my children to any longer. I will not force my children into another year of dizziness, headaches, acne and depression to do something that makes you feel better and not because it makes any difference or helps save lives. That is false and I will wait for you all to send us the same mountains of evidence that this order is "protecting public health" that we have that they don't work. I pray that you will realize that we will not be a party and most especially our CHILDREN will not be a party any longer to these political theatre games.

She took her last breath while I was holding her. I literally felt her soul leave her body. She was ten months old. Born with a combination of heart defects never before seen, Sylvia had her second open-heart surgery at just 7 months old. The surgery didn't go as planned and she was left on life support for three months. Our only option at that point was a heart transplant. She died before one came. Had she lived, she would have started kindergarten Monday. It was an emotional day for me, picturing her next to our older daughter for first day of school pictures. Wiping the tear from her eye as she held a bouquet of purple wooden flowers instead of her sister's hand. It was difficult. What made it profoundly more difficult was knowing this mob behind me would have never supported my daughter going to school. If she were here, she'd be a transplant patient, and would rely on social responsibility of others to keep her safe. Freedom isn't freedom when it only applies to some. Kids like Sylvia, chronically ill and constantly marginalized in society as it is, as well as children who just want to practice rational caution during and ACTUAL PANDEMIC, have a right to public education. Last year, families like mine sat back when the world said, "If you're scared of Covid, stay home." We had grace while schools figured out how to do in -person school safely. Well we figured it out. We know how to be safe. And to those who "just don't wanna do it anymore"...it's YOUR turn. Stay home.

I find it extremely disturbing that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners considered rescinding the OCHD's mandate for masks in schools. The health department is the best -equipped to make health decisions for this county, not commissioners who have no medical background and are trying to rescind a health order for purely political purposes. The mask mandate allows all Oakland County students to have consistent in -person education without interruptions, It has worked so far and has reduced transmission of Covid-19 throughout schools, allowing students to attend in -person classes full time. Polls also show that parents support this plan. From an Axiox/lpsos poll: "Almost seven in ten (69%) support their local school districts requiring teachers, students, and administrators to wear masks in schools. Mask requirements in schools have broad support among the public, with no significant difference in support among parents (68%) and non -parents (70%)." httns://www.ir)sos.com/en-us/news- polls/axios-iosos-coronavirus-index Please support students and parents by upholding the OCHD's mask requirements.

I have been an RN at beaumont health for over 10 years and I am writing to you for help. Me nephew was told this morning that he will now be required to wear a mask to school. His response was hysterical crying and it broke my heart. I am not the type to write these letters but this is hurting me to my core! Why is this a mandate if no one else is required to wear masks? Because they can't be vaccinated? That is pure pure evil and there is no other word. I'm not sure if you have kids of your own but you must not. You are going to be dealing with so much drug addiction and drunk driving and mental illness in your future if this continues. The flu has never gone away and covid won't as well. It is an animal derived virus meaning it will NEVER go away! There are no studies showing that masks are effective and I'm sure you know this. Please ask me for the articles and I will send them your way. I can go on for days but please help the children and let parents make their own decision on wether their kids wear a mask or not.

You have all the data you need, you have made this decision once before. You know masks work! Why are we looking to change that now? Will this county really be held hostage to who the "loudest mouth" is? Our children's health and safety is on the line. America is beautiful because we all have rights, but those individual's rights end where another person's rights begin. My children havethe right to attend school in a safe environment. My children live under policies that protect the greater good every day. They do not take favorite peanut butter sandwiches to school or enjoy almonds or hummus as snacks to protect the children at school with allergies. They practice emergency lockdown and take cover drills to make sure all children and staff are safe from intruders wishing to cause harm. They practice additional lockdowns to show sensitivity to children who may be hurt or have an emotional crisis. Their school day is stopped if a special needs child has entered their classroom and is having an emotional episode, How is a facial covering more detrimental than these disruptions to their learning? Simply stated, it is not. My children participate in every one of these policies, including your excellent mask mandate, gladly and with understanding that this is not only for their own protection but the community around them. This is what my children's community needs for ALL children to experience a safe learning environment. We are still in the depths of a global pandemic that has changed all of our lives. It will not end without all of our communities doing everything possible to offer safety and protection to ail. The ego -centric and social -damning arguments and demands must stop. It is time for our local, state and national authorities to take the lead and make sure the general public is protecting the rights of all. You have the authority and the civic responsibility to continue to uphold your mask mandate. Please continue to listen to the experts, health care providers and medical professionals who are desperately trying to advise the people with authority to keep everyone safe and lead us out of this pandemic. thank you, Alarlea Kobylarek, LVT, VTS (Dentisirl) Licensed Veterinary Technician, Veterinary Technician Specialist (Dentistry) Offering Veterinary Dental Education, Training and Consultation "Even short tails can wag impressively when linked to a soul filled with delight."

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child.

My oldest daughter suffers from debilitating migraines. She loses her vison first then goes into the migraine itself that puts her on the ground for hours at time sometime days. The lack of oxygen from masks is a trigger. She had missed many days of face2face the last school year. She will be a senior this year and she is already scared of having to wear a mask that will trigger migraines. She wants to enjoy her last year with her classmates and not miss out on the last of her high school career suffering from the lack of oxygen. I want the choice to have my child wear a mask or not, but I'm not getting that choice. This is our right to make these decisions for the safety of our family. Is denying my child entry to Public School due to NOT wearing a mask a violation of our rights? Picture on the left is posted on Oakland County Building and the other is posted at one of our local Middle schools. Public School is a Public Service, which is called a Public Sector. *You should know this already. These pictures alone shows that you're violating our Constitutional Right to Public Service, in this case Public School Education. The 24th Amendment states, The Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is one of the most litigated sections of the Constitution. As a brief overview, the clause refers to the fact that all citizens of the United States are guaranteed equal protection under the laws of the United States. When a statute or ordinance discriminates against an individual or a class of individuals, and those individuals sue, the court will apply one of three levels of scrutiny to the law in question: 1. Rational Basis 1. this is the lowest level of scrutiny imposed z. Intermediate Scrutiny i. this is an intermediate level of scrutiny imposed (typically used for laws which discriminate on the basis of gender, disability, or illegitimacy_) s. Strict Scrutinv i. this is the highest level of scrutiny imposed (typically used for laws which discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, alienage, or religion, as well as for laws which infringe on fundamental rights) I don't need to go any further with what you are doing is violating our Rights but you should be ashamed of yourselves! Using our children as pawns like we are going through a dirty divorce. SHAME ON YOU!

I would like to express my complete support for the mask mandate. I have 2 elementary aged kids in the Lake Orion school system and are under the age of 12 as are any kids in their school. Masks along with other mitigation strategies need to be used to help keep our kids safe this school year as there is no way for half the population to get vaccinated at this time. The school is not set up to allow proper social distancing, we have many mitigation strategies in place, but the superintendent would not implement a mask mandate unless forced by a health department. The proper authority for that mandate is a health department, they are allowed to help protect the community by setting up mandates to control a public health crisis Our kids have suffered no problems all during last school year with wearing masks all day, they even ask for masks when close to other kids on playgrounds outside of school. Our kids have several masks allowing them to change out if needed for the day. This will help to keep our kids out of quarantine and continue learning this year without interruption. With the rise in the COVID delta variant causing more and more illnesses in younger kids this mask mandate is necessary to help protect our children. Many schools throughout the country have seen rise in cases and hospitalizations. We should be proactive, not reactive when it comes to public health. The county should keep the mandate in place until such a time that our community transmission rate is low. While watching the public comments, I heard many "feelings" and misinformation about the effectiveness of masks. Masks work and are recommended by multiple organizations such as the CDC, AAP, and MDHHS. Again, Thank You for the mask mandate and keeping our kids and community safe!!!

We know masks help prevent the spread of Covid 19. We also know this new variant is more easily transmissible and it's affecting children harder than the other strains. I want my children to be safe and healthy and still be able to attend in person school, but without mandatory masks we can't possibly have all three. Kids will get sick and schools will have to shut down. If we ever want to get back to normal, we have to follow the science and do everything in our power to prevent the spread of this deadly virus. Please do what's best for our children and the community and keep the mask order in place.

My name is Beth Zorn and I am a parent of children attending South Lyon Community Schools. Many of the parents of South Lyon are extremely vocal in opposition of masks in schools. I feel as though I am in the minority. Masks help. They help against illness, the spread of illness, and provide my child a sense of security that he's doing all he can to keep him, his friends, and his family safe. As a family who has suffered a lot of heartbreak, we do all that can be done to prevent more for us and our fellow citizens. So I ask, please keep the mandate in place.

Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children. And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids.

My children have told me that they forget they even have a mask on and are absolutely able to breathe even when running. We believe in science, safety, and kindness to our communities. We believe masks must be mandated because the health of the majority is more important than the shouting and selfishness of the few. We need a UNIVERSAL MASK MANDATE in Oakland County - and beyond. Thank you for protecting our kids and communities.

I strongly oppose mask mandates in schools and fully support commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the public order mandating masks issued by the Oakland County Health Division. I do not support mandates. I support scientific evidence and testimony from doctors around the world stating that masks do NOT prevent the spread of Covid, but DO contribute to a multitude of other health issues, including the troubling surge in mental health crises and suicide cases in our children. Oakland county needs to take a page out of the book of many other counties and permit parental rights and choice for children. If you haven't noticed, your citizens are fed up.

Cindy Cichon Official Entry for Commissioners Meeting 9.2.21 Robin Kostanecki <rkostanecki@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/21021 9,35 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Please keep the mask mandate to our most vulnerable and unable to get vaccinated populations, those under 12. The benefits of resuming in -person education, with safety measures in place, outweigh the very minor inconvenience of masking and social distancing. Our K-5 kids do not have the option to help protect themselves via the vaccine. They simply do not have the choice to help here! Even colleges are mandating vaccines, as they mandated masks. For our young children, COVID hasn't gone anywhere. Even with the vaccine for teens/adults, (mind you this is still not at a high enough rate) COVID is still here and the delta variant is spreading rapidly. Our childrens' safety should be at the top of your list of concerns and it is appearing otherwise. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Academy of Pediatrics, and several State Education Departments have wisely stated, in -person learning is optimal. The recommended layered approach is best to limit transmission as we start the school year amidst another COVID wave. These agencies seem to have left considerable leeway to local jurisdictions. In line with these agencies' guidelines, and based on my professional knowledge, I think our district's public schools should: Mandate masks indoors for all persons no matter the vaccination status. Recommend vaccination as strongly as possible for all eligible students. Promote social distancing and ventilation indoors such as in classrooms and shared offices. Be equipped to identify close contacts when cases arise, for appropriate implementation of quarantine for exposed persons. Support persons exposed to or infected with COVID to temporarily learn or maintain their employment remotely while they quarantine or isolate. We are in a wave of the highly contagious COVID-19 delta variant. An increasing number of people around the country and in our area are testing positive. Local hospitals and ICUs again have as many patients with COVID as they did in the spring. Rates of COVID hospitalizations among children are at an all-time high nationally. In parts of the US where schools reopened this month amidst high transmission of the COVID delta variant and masks were not required (although they may have been "recommended" or "encouraged," such as in Mississippi, Arizona, and Georgia), thousands of students have already been sent home for COVID illness or quarantine, and dozens of schools have transitioned back to remote learning. You must take action so this doesn't happen in our town. It's not enough forjust a few people to wear masks and for people to stay home when sick.Studies show that transmission is most reduced when both those with and without COVID wear masks (i.e., universal masking), and that people are most contagious starting two days before symptom onset, if any symptoms occur at all. In -person learning is valuable for children, families, and communities. For most kids, in -person activities with teachers and peers are superior to a Zoom screen. Teachers were trained to offer in -person instruction, and the American Federation of Teachers calls it "foundational" and necessary for children to thrive. It may be especially important for our district's many students needing special services and for working families. While long-term remote instruction, and short-term classroom closures due to quarantining students and staff, can create challenges for learning; these are preventable with the right planning and action now. Masks are safe. The science is unequivocal when it comes to the efficacy of masks in preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Research has shown that in -school COVID-19 transmission is rare when schools follow public health precautions such as mandatory universal masking, social distancing, and frequent hand -washing. Universal masking in school (including all children over the age of 2) is a main predictor of low in -school transmission. Masks do not interfere with breathing and cannot lead to carbon dioxide poisoning. Masks do not affect oxygen intake if worn properly. Properly maintained and work masks do not grow mold. Cloth masks should be laundered with soap and water after use. Surgical masks cannot be washed/laundered and should be discarded if they become soiled or damaged. The recommendation is to isolate masks in a dry spot (like a brown paper bag) for a week for disinfection. We have an obligation to help our children learn and to protect them and school staff from COVID exposure. Other education departments, such as those serving New York City, New Jersey, Chicago, and Los Angeles, have prioritized safely resuming in -person learning by mandating masks and staff vaccinations or regular testing. Our town should do the same. Set strong, science -based, multifaceted COVID measures for our schools now. Please help protect our children.

Not only were they premature at birth as it happens quite often but since 2020 have been muzzled with a mask or required to distance learn. Their already at a disadvantage due to their early arrival. I've watched them suffer socially and mentally throughout this man made pandemic. They are being deprived of a fully enhanced education because our voices, the voices of folks who want to live their lives in line with their beliefs are being silenced. If you cannot lift the ban then allow for an alternative school where we can continue to live our lives free of ridiculous mandates based on false studies and personal agendas, media fear educing, political grandstanding and inaccurately cited studies. It begins with small things like mask mandates and before you know it.... Genocide. Let my people decide for themselves. You don't speak for me wether i need a mask in my family's life or not.

We were hopeful that in a private school the disruptions would be less, and our voices would be heard as parents concerning the choices made for our children. Two days before school started, we were told out of nowhere that the health department had issued a mandate for ALL schools in Oakland County to require masks. This came right after we received an email from our school that they would NOT be requiring them, throwing us all for a loop. Meanwhile, the county right next to us (Macomb county) has issued a statement that they will NOT be mandating masks. I feel this mandate is a direct violation of my children's rights, as well as my parental rights. In an effort to spare you time, the points I am mentioning below are backed by data and professionals in the medical field, and not just my feelings or my views. Covid has been around going on 2 years now It is time to let our children get back to normal and get a proper education. They have missed out on so much. Masking elementary aged children is detrimental to children's social and emotional development. They rely on faces to provide key information of personal identity and social information such as trustworthiness, age and gender, as well as to teach them to recognize nonverbal social cues and learn facial speech analysis which are incredibly important to growing. Covering up half of everyone's face with a mask does the opposite of that. There are multiple articles written by psychologists and doctors that cite this. See below for links. I would also like to point you to data that was collected by the Covid-19 School Response Dashboard regarding covid 19 outbreaks and masks. The purpose of the dashboard is as follows (directly from their website) The National COVID-19 School Response Dashboard is the first effort that systematically maps schools' responses to the pandemic across the United States. Data is visualized in a single dashboard that empowers school leaders, policymakers, and the general public to examine current conditions in their own areas —as well as compare against others— to adapt to changing environments and make data -driven teaching and learning decisions as they continue to navigate the 2020-21 school year. This is partnered with many established organizations including the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, the School Superintendents Association, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, as well as many other associations and foundations. I pulled data from August 31, 2020- May 23, 2021, reported in two week increments, coming from middle and elementary schools across the nation. The first dashboard shows covid infection rates in masked kids (in two week increments) and the second shows covid infection rates in unmasked kids (in the exact same two week increments.) In that time period of 17 weeks, 12 of those weeks had higher covid infection rates among those schools where the students WERE masked versus the schools where the students were not masked. There are only three weeks out of the 17 where the infection rates are higher in the schools that didn't practice masking vs the schools that do. See below links to see for yourself. Top this off with the basic fact that children are often times unhygienic. The CDC's mask recommendations and guidance states that hands should be washed each time a mask goes on and off your face, that cloth masks should be washed with soap and water after every use, and that for masks to work properly they should be securely snug to your nose and mouth. Children, especially elementary aged ones, do not follow these instructions. In fact, in a school environment, it would be almost impossible to. My own son and many of his friends come home with wet and yellow/brown masks on the inside from CHEWING ON THEM all day. The children get runny noses that are running inside of their masks, they touch everything with their hands and then fiddle with the mask nonstop moving it up, down and all around. All of the bacteria from their hands/noses/mouth is trapped inside the same mask they then wear all day at school Most would argue that in the instance of elementary aged kids, masks do the opposite of protect them and expose them to MORE germs. I urge you to please look at some of the data and articles yourself, and give parents back the CHOICE. To tell our children that in order to get an in person education they have to cover their noses and mouths is to deny them a fair and proper education. One last thing I will point you to is public health code Act 451 of 1976, section 1307b. In it, it states practices which are prohibited for school personnel under all circumstances, including emergency, and one of those is part H- ANY RESTRAINT THAT NEGATIVELY IMACTS BREATHING. I would think this would include a mask. You can see that on the Michigan Legislature website, also listed below Thank you for taking the time to consider these factors.

Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used close to the meeting start time — people were literally hosed down by someone turning on the sprinkler system, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. That didn't deter anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, shocker, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes:' What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners literally got up and left the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actually sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. I am disgusted. I have three grandchildren, in the West Bloomfield School District, ages S, 6 and 9. 1 will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue. Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force:' We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election. Shame on you!

Please consider this email my public comment and accept them to be entered into record. My name is Suzanne Burchill and 1 am the parent of a child who will be afresh man at South Lyon HS this year. As an immunocompromised adult, I am at risk of severe complications from COVID, and my children are well aware of that. They have both worn masks, as have I, since the beginning of the pandemic. My daughter wants to be in -person for school but she also wants to stay safe, and keep me sate. As schools will have a mixed student body consisting of vaccinated and unvaccinated children in the hallways with very little opportunity for social distancing, masks are the one protective measure that could prevent an outbreak. As schools without mask mandates are seeing increased COVID cases already, I would hate to see that happen in Oakland County. Please listen to the science and the recommendations of the medical community instead of the rhetoric of those who make emotional pleas based on political bias. A few hours a day wearing a mask in school is better than having a student contract COVID and/or bring it home to their family. We will never know if we overreacted, but we will definitely know if we under -reacted. This isn't forever, but it's necessary right now. Thank you for your consideration.

Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Alyssa Haupt <alyssa04O2@comcast.net> Fri 9i 3l2021 995 AN7 To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, I beg you to leave the mask mandate in place. Without a layered approach to Covid protocols we are surely going to have schools shut down. The ignorant notion that masks cause illness or are a form of child abuse it utterly ridiculous. If masks caused illness, why aren't surgeons sick all the time? Wouldn't they have found a better- way to protect their patients? Masks obviously protect people. Why were flu and RSV cases so low last year? Masks! Anyone that equates masking with child abuse doesn't understand masking or abuse. How many families need to be devastated by this disease before you feel it necessary to protect us. If someone else's choice not to mask adversely affects my child's health, that is no choice at all. How can you justify not protecting the children of your county? Any illness incurred will be on your shoulders. Let's hope and vote for a more conscientious and wise board of commissioners next election.

This mandate is the only reason my two young children are enrolled in in -person school this year. Prior to the mandate, I was fully prepared to remove them from our district and enroll them both in online programs. The mask mandate changed those plans when it was issued the day before our school district started the school year. After a year and a half of learning at home, my children are thrilled to return to the classroom. They are much happier and more successful at school in person. And they feel safe at school because they know it's a rule for everyone to wear masks. They are happy to do their part by wearing masks to protect themselves and their classmates. I understand there are strong and varied opinions on the topic of universal masking in schools. But the science clearly supports masking as an important layer of protection for kids in the classroom, especially among those like mine, who are too young to be vaccinated yet. As a resident of Oakland County, a concerned citizen and a parent, I wanted you to know that keeping this mask mandate in place is very important to me and my family. It is our hope that you will continue to support keeping all Oakland County students safe at school by upholding the current mask mandate as written.

You heard from many experts, so I will keep to personal experience. My daughter qualified for a medical mask waiver last year as well as this year. It was extremely difficult to obtain. This year the medical staff were like guard dogs, simply stating they weren't giving out waivers. I had to argue with staff member after staff member simply stating, you are not her doctor. I would like to review my daughter's health history with HER doctor, not a staff member with no medical training. They finally gave me a telehealth appt, wouldn't even allow an in person appt to examine her. The day of I called because there wasn't a link. They informed me the appt had been canceled. That they could fit me in with another dr within the practice. I had to go through management to reestablish the appt with our dr, who is familiar with my daughter's health history. They finally gave us the appt back. We explained that my daughter has been in therapy since last early spring, as recommended. Some progress was being made, but as soon as the mask mandate was made, last minute, unexpectedly since the school stated they were letting parents decide, she regressed and developed more symptoms. Her doctor had to talk with her and reassure her that is ok for her to take her mask off. That she is an exception to the rule. While my daughter has a waiver, I still fight for other's rights to choose. It might he selfish but I want people to have that choice because my daughter is so afraid of being yelled at or ridiculed for not wearing a mask, that she wears it anyway. She is sacrificing her own health because she had such a strong mask advocate teacher last year that she has ptsd symptoms from it. An expert psychologist at a bill hearing last spring testified that children do not have the mental capacity to process these traumas on their own. What does that mean for the future of society? Besides my daughter and her valid medical waiver, my other kids could use a waiver. I have not fought for them because they will break the rules as needed for their own health. However, the grades then suffer and I have no idea what it is doing to them mentally. Going into a store with a mask, made my child dizzy to the extent he needs to sit down. 2 of my 3 have developed tics since the masks mandates. Can you imagine the mental toil it takes on your body when your body is saying inside, "get this mask off", and outside another person, without even taking it into account what the child is suffering through, forces them to mask? The tics were fading, slow very slow progress was being made. I need people to be able to choose for themselves whether or not they mask, for the mental health of my own children. I know 1 didn't speak about the shot, however I ask that you create an anti -discrimination policy for Oakland County in regards to vaccination status. No one should be discriminated against for employment, education, or day to day function based on their shot status. We must always be allowed to choose what goes into our own body and not be coerced by threats of denied access to a better life. I don't know what your jurisdiction is in regards to these mask mandates. However, I beg of you to stand up within your full capacity, to end these mask mandates. We know these children are extremely low risk. Less then 500 children have died from covid, and of the ones who did, most, if not all had underlying issues. fOy family all had covid last November. My husband was asymptomatic, one had a headache and slight sore throat for 3 days, one's only symptoms was loss of taste and smell, the other had 1 day of a headache and slight sore throat. Myself, mine turned into long covid and has taken a lot of work to get back to healthy. I still fully believe that we all need to choose what is best for ourselves. How is the mental stress of all these issues affecting our community? Are people getting healthier to help lower risk factors? No. The general community is so overwhelmed with fear, stress, mandates etc that our risk factors have gone up. Obesity rates are climbing, along with those is an increase of everything that starts with obesity. That is counter productive. It's increasing risk factors that cause less favorable outcomes when people catch covid. What we have been doing for the last 1.5yrs isn't working enough. We are doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. It is time we change approaches and let people decide what is best for their own health. Thank you for your time.

I am writing for my support for OCHD Mask Mandate. I have two children under the age of 12 in Lake Orion Community School District. Since there is no other option with a vaccine to protect my children from COVID-19, I am in full support of of the mask mandate. Wearing a mask is a very simple and easy way to protect our children and for them to protect others. I am disappointed that this proposal was even brought up and voted on. Why wouldn't we want to do anything we could to protect others, especially our children. 1 hope that the benefits of mask wearing for our children who have no other way to protect themselves is viewed as a positive and the mask order stays in place until other options are available.

Sent from my Whone Public comment for 9/02 BOCC meeting Devon Sioma <devon.sioma@gmail.com> Fri s/ �/2021 B' , AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <cerk@oakgov com> Hello Lisa, I am hoping you can please add my comments to the public comments of the board yesterday, as I was not able to make it into the building. My name is Devon Sioma, and I'm from Oxford, Michigan. Thank you for hearing us today. First, I want to mention that this movement is not partisan, there are no lines of division, it is based on our love for our children and our personal liberties. i would like to first say that many other parents, as well as myself, are here to defend EVEYRONEs choice to wear a mask or not. The issue is a mandate on the people of oakland county. Currently the mandates are based on 4 different sources. CDC's level of community transmission tracker, the Oakland county 7-Day Average of cases and deaths (which tie together), Vaccination coverage and the urging of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recomendations, according to the Oakland County COVID FAQ. Oakland county has around 1.2 million residents. The total case count (according to the CDC) is around 1833 cases for the last 7 days (keep in mind according to oakland county disclaimers, there could be duplicate counts). Thats 0.0015 % of the population, Yet we are told there is an extreme rise thanks to the delta variant. There have been 2337 total deaths in oakland county SINCE COVID HAS STARTED. That is a total of 0.0019% of the population of the county, and 75% of those deaths are age 70 and over (according to oakland county data). The County stated that it will remove the mask mandate once we meet the CDC threshold of moderate, indicating, that is a major factor in the mandate. According to CDC thresholds, we have to be under 89 cases on avg per day for 1 week to meet'Moderate' thresholds. This equates to less than 0.00085% of the entire population of Oakland County. The CDC data has nearly the ENTIRE country under the high risk threshold at the moment. Even taking into consideration that these counts are both PCR tests AND Antigen test (which are known to be much less reliable), is that obtainable? There has only been a few tirne periods since covid started when it would be, and for a short time, according the oakland county data. Why is it not better to leave the decision to the school district? I understand the math is a little more difficult than what the CDC provides, but according to oakland county, oxford currently has 108 cases IN THE LAST 30 DAYS, not a week. Thats 0.0044% of the population spread across the last month. Oxford SChool district did a fanstasticjob last year of handling the saftey of our students and I hope the decision will be made to allow the school district and the parents to deciide what works best for them.

I am a mom of three children in the Rochester School district (ages 11, 9, 7). 1 am against masking mandates for our children. It is unhealthy for our children to be masked all day. The CO2 levels have been proven to be dangerous for our children. it causes my children unnecessary stress and anxiety. My kids are healthy, and there is no need for them to be wearing a mask. My school district in particular offers a virtual option for those families who wish to stay home. So it makes no sense to mandate those parents and children who wish to be in person to be in a mask. If you are sick or scared, stay home. It is really common sense. If you want to wear a mask, you can wear a mask. But please give us parents the option to choose what is best for our children and our safety. I support parental rights and choice for our children.

I respectfully request that no mandates related to masks/vaccines are implemented especially for K-12 education. We currently have 2 children enrolled in Walled Lake schools and are terrified at the prospect of irreparable damage to our children from unnecessary masks. We urge you to let us as parents decide what is best for our children and do not force us Into homeschool or the need to move out of the county/state. The benefits of masks in preventing serious illness or death from COVID-19 among children are infinitesimally small. At the same time, they are disruptive to learning and communicating in classrooms. The survival rate among American children with confirmed cases is approximately 99.999%. Disrupting their development with mask/vaccine mandates would be a total disaster. Please do the right thing! Our children and our future depend on it.

Thank you to those of you that voted against the Mask Mandate. I it you to reconsider and remove the Mask Mandate for school -age kids. Risks of Transmission Low in Children Please look at the broad facts, not just a one-off study in North Carolina (as referenced in the OCHD Order). For example, the CDC states, " Neither increases in case incidence among school -aged children nor school reopenings for in -person learning appear to pre -date increases in community transmission." The CDC goes on to state, "In Michigan and Washington state, delivery of in -person instruction was not associated with increased spread of SARS-CoV-2 in schools when community transmission was low, but cases in schools did increase at moderate -to -high levels of community transmission.52 When community transmission was low, there was no association between in -person learning and community spread." According to the data on the Oakland County website, there have been ZERO deaths for children in Oakland County. Consistently, the cases for children have been mild. Consequently, for the transmission rates among children to be low and the risk to their health to be minimal, there is no need for masks. J Day A4"LJc c: Dolly ca ,r l i i Deaths �", Ay,, e:ouP The New York Times and CDC have published additional data for death causes for children, Not only are other activities far more dangerous, if you review the flu/ pneumonia data, but the risks are also far greater than Covid. As such, why have we NEVER required masks for flu season, but are requiring masks now. 1;'1 Lt!isfo!ih:,`-<:: ns:M(hligApril 10 `21.ittv,tczae<<'n,20B Personal Considerations Aside from the data mentioned above, my 3-year-old has been in speech classes for a speech delay. The masks further hinder his ability to confidently speak in his first step into a school environment. My two daughters are in first and second grade. These are the years that they should be learning social cues from seeing people's faces. The negative impacts of the masks far outweigh the minimal risks of covid to this population and the ever smaller chance that they will be severely sick from covid. They find the mask uncomfortable and hindering their ability to breathe and learn. Furthermore, my children's masks (because of their young ages) is routinely covered in dirt, marker, and other unsanitary items. The kids are consistently touching their faces to adjust masks. I would far rather have them wash their hands rather than pulling a dirty face covering over their mouths. An editorial in the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, '"The Case Against Masks for Children" argued that long-term mask -wearing can cause physical and developmental issues in children and that there is little evidence to support a mandate. Comoarison to Neiahborina Counties I am a person that looks at things logically, please explain to me why our neighboring Macomb County is not requiring masks, but Oakland County is. What are the differences in numbers and risks that are so much greater in Oakland County over Macomb? Global Comparisons Please read this excerpt from the National Review, "no major COVID outbreaks have been attributed to schoolchildren. Much of Europe is not masking children in schools. While some countries, e.g. Austria or Scotland, will begin the school year with masks, they are expected to start phasing out the requirement for young children within weeks. Norway explicitly advises against masking school -aged children. And Denmark is specifically prioritizing "normalcy" as a part of public health. And yet, here in the United States, we are not just putting masks on toddlers, we are still putting up plexiglass dividers in some classrooms as a way to establish distancing of students — even though the only ev+genre we have about such dividers' e fecflv_eness suggests that they may increase transmission of the virus. Our CDC is still sticking to student -masking "guidance" that is out of line with the World Health Organization's advice, which holds that "Children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear masks." Occasionally, our children have even been asked to wear masks while playing spo>r�s, including; +n_sc i? ccses, out oor spo+ _ We are now entering a third school year marred by these rules, most of which have no solid evidentiary basis. This may feel like the blink of an eve for some adults, but for manv children, es oecially school -acted children, it has become a childhood -defining experience. One begins to suspect that if there is actually a metric that will cause school districts to stop requiring masks and the CDC to stop recommending them for small children, it is a political metric rather than a medical one: Mask mandates will only end when enough parents stop tolerating them." Conclusion As an attorney, as an attorney, I stand by our God -Given rights and our Founding Father's principles for the Right to Choose. it should be my choice whether my children wear a mask. Votes like this should be based on actual real science, not on political gain and control. Please make the right choice. Melissa B.

Emergency orders are only to be used for epidemics: local outbreaks. None of the reasons given for the order provide this as a reason. If we're in a local outbreak bad enough to necessitate an emergency order, why did they only mandate masks in schools - why not mandate masks in the entire county everywhere? There have been multiple large gatherings since the order, like Arts, Eats, and Beats this weekend — but there haven't been mask mandates for those events. Would a county in an outbreak be allowing that? Reference Michigan Legislature section 333.2253 and 333.2453. 2. The CDC has recommended a mask mandate for schools, but other nations in Europe have not. The United Kingdom originally ruled no mask requirement for kids under 12, but on August 25 changed it to be all schools and all ages. Many countries in Europe last year did not have mandatory masking and their infection rates were very similar to the US where such measures in place.

There is conflicting evidence that mandatory masking prevents infections in kids. The Emergency order did mention one particular study from North Carolina, but there have been multiple other studies that show no benefit or negligible benefit for kids from masking. This includes the CDC's own May report.

I have been a proud, life-long Democrat who sang the praises of the party as champions for bodily autonomy. "My body, my choice" seems to no longer apply in the current climate, as our Democratic President and Governor have psychologically incentivized people to take a vaccine that has no proven track record in preventing the Covid-19 virus. If Oakland County and the Democratic party truly believed in bodily autonomy, you would consider the 23.5 million Americans that suffer from autoimmune disease (NiH), the approximately 4 million women who are currently pregnant (CDC), and the 133 million who suffer from chronic illness (National Health Council). Why? Because all three manufacturers of the Covid-19 vaccine EXCLUDED these populations in their clinical trials!!! How can a vaccine that excluded an extremely significant portion of the population in their trials be marketed as "safe and effective" to the masses? How can our elected officials and private businesses include these groups in their mandates? It is criminal! Not only do mandates violate ones' bodily autonomy, but forcing these three groups specifically to do something that is completely unstudied in their population violates the Nuremberg code in a multitude of ways. (Link to full text of the Nuremberg code: httns://media.tcihn.orci/medialibrarv/2011/04/BMJ No 7070 Volume 313 The Nurembero Code.nd D The first rule of the Nuremberg code states: "The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision." As an elected official in Oakland County, I beg you to consider these populations when you are thinking about vaccine mandates. Though these groups are unstudied, the CDC does not consider them to be conditions worthy of vaccine exemption. Though physicians are able to advise their patients not to take the vaccine, they are unable to provide exemptions for work/school without fear of losing their licenses. How is this ethical or legal? I beg you to do your part in Michigan to represent your constituents who fall into these three groups.

When we have neighbors who have been going to school for weeks already unmasked with ZERO issues for them and their classmates and teachers, there is a big problem for me knowing Oakland county children are being held hostage. This is not right, this isn't scientific, when your boards clear vote to not bring forth the issue lastnight was a clear sign that your officials and board needs to be recalled. We the people are here with our voice and it's clearly unheard. My 8 year old son can clearly understand and feel his mask making him feel worse than better. "But mom don't I breathe out bad germs? (Co2) and with my mask just breathe them back in." Do you have children? Covid isn't going anywhere it will be here like the flu. Which in fast is just as fatal if not more. So why is the protocol to mask up now, why not a few years ago when schools were shutting down because of flu outbreaks? Where was this then, where was this with the swine flu, or Ebo(a outbreak? Where is the concern with the food that is poisoning our bodies... you guys don't really care, so stop pretending. Give us the rights to our children! Good will always win and we will prevail.

Although masks may make people "feel" better, they do next to nothing to actually stop or slow the spread of a virus, especially since 1 week into school I can see how poorly the masks are being worn. At this point, they are doing more harm to my kids mental health than they are helping their physical health. In addition, the quarantine guidelines do nothing but exclude healthy students from their right to an appropriate public education and must be eliminated immediately. Less than 1% of quarantined students became ill last year. At an absolute minimum, there needs to be a provision for individuals who have natural immunity from a previous infection as there are multiple studies that say natural immunity is better and longer lasting than immunity from a vaccine.

Concerned grandma Sent from my Whone Repeal the Mask Mandate Jeane Smith <jeane_rushing@yahoo.com> Fri 4/3/2021 8 4E AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> My name is Jeane Smith and I am a 16+ year resident of Waterford Township. I have a daughter in elementary school. This year we decided to pull her from her local school and enroll in a charter school in hopes of escaping the virtual/remote/in-person back and forth. The isolation of remote has taken a toll on her. The forced masks have also inflicted undue stress. She has confided that she can't focus in class because she is so focused on her discomfort. Teachers are spending more time on mask enforcement instead of education. After making the difficult decision to move her to a mask optional school that remained open last school year, the mandate has now forced added undue stress unto teachers, students and parents again. We are watching as new family friends and classmates are unenrolling for homeschool instead of subjecting kids to this unnecessary abuse. Please listen to the OVERWHELMING responses of Oakland county residents. Repeal the mask mandate that has been imposed on our kids and restore the freedoms of our Republic. God tells us numerous times in the Holy Bible to fear not. Even through this pandemic, HIS will is what will be done. Our children need to stop seeing fear in the adults around them and start seeing confidence and strength once more. Repeal the mask mandate and put the responsibility of our children where it belongs, with the parents. God charges parents (not government) to teach them well and raise them according to his Gospel. If government refuses to listen to the people, our voices will be heard next election cycle. Thank you and I pray for all of you to have courage to do what is right. Pray on this. Pray that God's will be done, not our own. Do not fear a virus. Thank you, Jeane Smith Sent from my iPhone Reverse the Mask Mandate!

I wish to share the story of my daughter's 2020 — 2021 school year. Prior to 7 th grade, my daughter had pre-existing conditions that had been steadily improving. During the school year, I witnessed her condition regress. By the end of each school day, she presented with extreme lethargy, impacting her concentration on homework, her ability to participate in after -school events, and her personal relationships with family and friends. Her growth and success are my highest priority. To see her regress week by week was heartbreaking. The only common root cause for her regression was masking during the school day. The health and welfare of my child is a responsibility I take with extreme importance. If she or someone in our household is unwell and potentially contagious I would not send her to school or outside the home. I have confidence that all parents at OVMS do the same. Parents who are highly concerned about the transmission of germs can choose to mask their children or join the Huron Valley Virtual Academy. I do not agree with mandates. My daughter's experience is an example of mask mandates causing harm and i know that her situation is not isolated. I cannot bear to witness my daughter regress for another school year due to masking. Please do not force me to consider removing her from a school she loves.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. You need to actually read the research provided by all of the experts who spoke during the meeting and really consider the FACTS presented before you. Emotion and fear are driving things right now but it really needs to be cold hard facts that drive your decisions. I also implore you to tell the health department to remove their quarantine mandates for healthy children. Taking healthy children out of school because they may or may not have sat next to or were near a person who tests positive for Covid is ridiculous but to keep them out of school for 1 -2 weeks with no access to education is criminal. 99% of the quarantines last year never tested positive for Covid. These kids have a right to their education, they should not be sitting home with zero access to their teachers.

Unmask our children Kimberly Landry <kimilandry@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/11021 8:49 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Hello, I would like to share with you the experience my son and I had last year with the mask mandate My son has ADHD with anxiety. Wearing the mask he experienced the typical headaches and fatigue. That in itself is a horrible thing for any child that is FORCED to wear a mask. Let's go a little deeper. Wearing the mask altered and hampered his ability to breath properly. Add in the anxiety. Now we can't breath, we feel more anxious, can't breath and it goes on and on. This caused him to go into a depression in which I was unable to get him out of bed for a week. I hope you understand how this makes you feel as a parent. Your child is being FORCED to do something that goes against your belief and his belief and there is no relief insight. The fact that you cannot find a therapist that is taking new patients should prove to you the depth of the mental effects of these mandates. Let's go a little deeper. We are dealing with teenage children. They are already experiencing hormone changes, changing bodies, searching for their identity. That is normal. What is not normal is that they can no longer interact with their peers on a normal level. They cannot see someone give them a friendly smile. They cannot gauge a situation based on body language and facial expression because we have removed their facial expression. We are removing part of their identity. Next level. They lower their mask to help them breath during the 3 hour block schedule they now have. They are bullied by the very adults who they were taught to respect. Unacceptable! As a parent it is MY choice on how to handle my child's medical and mental treatments. i base these decisions on MY child's 'individual needs. I know him better than anyone, I have to watch him suffer from the over reach of individuals who are supposed to represent us and be our voice -got take our choices and stifle us. I hope someone takes the time to read this and truly puts the best interest of our children and their physical and mental health ahead of the misleading information being fed by agencies that have their own agenda.

Regards, Blake Nelson Official entry for commissioners meeting on 9-2-21 Laura Good <Igood262@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 8:56 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Oakland County Commissioners, Hello, my name is Laura, I live in Bloomfield Hills and my children attend school in the Bloomfield Hills school district. Over the past month, my husband and I, who are both healthcare workers with experience seeing covid patients, have been attending school board meeting and frequently corresponding with the superintendent and school board members begging them to follow expert advice and implement covid precautions including masking for this upcoming school year. Thankfully our district decided to follow recommendations and guidelines backed by the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics, MDHHS, OCHD and surrounding local large healthcare systems such as Beaumont and Henry Ford. Unfortunately some districts in Oakland county continued to refuse to require masks and ignore experts in public health. Parents, students and school staff in these districts were left anticipating an unsafe and stressful school year until the Oakland County Health Department luckily intervened and made mandates for school masking. To my and many other parents surprise, there is a resolution being proposed by some Oakland county commissioners to demand the OCHD to rescind this order? A public health and safety agency essentially being told to not do their job during a pandemic to make the public safe. It's outrageous some are trying to interfere with the health department's duty to the community. It's especially disheartening that as healthcare providers we were so called "healthcare heroes" at the beginning of the pandemic and now when we ask the public to help mitigate and reduce risk of spread, some choose to balk at our pleas. Sadly some are pandering to a loud minority of people who are anti masks and anti public health and safety, meanwhile ignoring a vast majority that support these safety precautions. The vast majority will remember who supported this resolution for the next election Thank you for your time, Laura Good Sent from my Whone Official entry for commissioner's meeting on 9.2.21 Carmen McAlister <carmen.m.mcalister@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2027 8:56 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, This public health crisis has turned into a political circus.

As a mother of two elementary children I am so grateful to the county for implementation of the mask mandate. This will help to ensure my kids get to REMAIN IN SCHOOL- which Is exactly where they need to be. Without such measures in place both in our state and around our country we are watching the same thing take place- schools shutting down, hundreds of kids and staff out sick. Our kids do not exist in a vacuum they live with adults, these same adults work outside the horne and can continue to spread this virus. We do not need an overwhelmed health system in our county. There are many arguments made that the only place kids have to wear masks is school- mine wear them anytime we are indoors other than our home. They were overjoyed to learn some of their friends were coming back to school now (instead of learning virtually) because of the mandate. If you ask my children about wearing a mask they both say the same thing if it means we can go to school and all our friends can come back who cares. They forget it's on and just get lost in the school day. My son has severe asthma and food allergies, never one time has he complained about his breathing. I believe in teaching my children that doing small things for others add up to great things for our society. If wearing a mask can provide any sort of protection to our unvaccinated children, don't you think it's a pretty small ask? Thank you for your support!

Tiffany David <tiffanyjdavid@gmail.com> Fr) 9/3/2D21 8:59 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Lisa, I am writing to you this morning as a concerned citizen and parent in Clarkston Community School district. I watched the board meeting last night on live stream as 1 was not able to make it in person. First, I want to point out that I was disgusted to hear and see that there were limited seats open to the public. There is no reason that is appropriate in my opinion for leaving the citizens outside to let their voices be heard by the board instead of comfortably finding a place to sit indoors. There were children who waited for hours to be heard and they had to sit outdoors as if they were going to cause a riot, spread disease or speak out of term; that is ridiculous! As far as the adults, many of them are professionals and had well thought out and written supporting evidence that they wanted to share. They too were not looking to cause trouble, start a riot... they want to be heard! How can this board vote before listening to any of the citizens? How is that possibly acceptable? I will answer that, it IS NOT! I would like this comment added to the record as you can clearly see it was sent before noon today as directed/explained in the meeting last night. My name is Tiffany David and my children have attended Clarkston Public Schools (12th grade and 4`11 grade) for their entire school career thus far. My youngest I just removed from the district because of this last-minute mask mandate and Oakland County put in place and completely overstepping their boundaries I would like to add! I hope many other families remove their children as well and I assure you that there will be more families that continue to do the same. We are the parents, not Oakland County. We make health decisions for our children, not Oakland County! We will decide if masking our children is right for our children or not! NOT OAKLAND COUNTY. My youngest son suffers from ADHD and asthma. He has a history of extreme breathing related illness that were often triggered by allergies, Oakland County wants me to continue to slap a mask over his face and restrict his breathing? I have been in the hospital countless times with this sweet boy trying to get more oxygen into his lungs to keep his CO2 levels in an appropriate range! I will he damned if ! mask him for one more day! You guys do not decide! I was scared at the beginning of the pandemic that he might be considered one of the children with "underlying health conditions", I was nervous about COVID related anything, I washed my groceries, sanitized everything in sight and then one day I WOKE UP! I realized we all have immune systems and God will protect us and my family will follow faith over fear! My kids know how to wash their hands with soap and water (basic hygiene 101), 1 know not to leave my house if I am sick! I don't send my kids to playdates or to school if they are sick! BASIC SKILLS HERE that I am very capable of following and so are other families in order to keep each other from getting sick. I have no intentions of forcing my kids to wear a mask any longer! This is madness! You heard last night from many professionals, experts, concerned parents, teachers, citizens, grandparents of the many valid reasons for NOT masking our kids any longer, I am not going to beat a dead horse by repeating it but the writing is on the wall here! These masks should be optional! Remove this mandate immediately!!! These are not safe for our kids! I will not stop fighting for the right to let my kids breathe freely and to allow them the freedom of using their God given immune system. You will no longer be in control of such decisions for my children! Send my high schooler home if he doesn't comply, I will call the police each and every single time you force him to mask up and deprive him of his free unrestricted breathing and education. EVERY SINGLE TIME!

We do not support mandates. We as parents have rights, with the ability to choose what is right for our children's health and wellbeing. Our trust in our local government hinges on this decision. Masks have been proven harmful to children. The masks they are mandating the children wear state right on the packaging that they do NOT protect against viruses.

Parents make choices for their children. Amidst the mountain of evidence pointing to the ineffectiveness of masks and the damage, both physically and emotionally to children, there has emerged a purely political motive for this. It's solely about control and not public health, Please be intellectually honest about this and embrace facts, not politics and emotion. Thank you.

My kids are too young to be vaccinated, and they would be at risk in a mask -optional environment. We have finally been able to start getting excited for back to school next week! Now I hear that some commissioners are trying to undermine the experts at the health department and give into the anti -mask bullies.

You need to actually read the research provided by all of the experts who spoke during the meeting and really consider the FACTS presented before you. Emotion and fear are driving things right now but it really needs to be cold hard facts that drive your decisions. Also, where are any of the health initiatives to keep kids healthy?? Where are the public health announcements to eat right, exercise, wash your hands and stay home when you don't feel well. Did that just go out the window with the implementation of putting on a mask? Kids need to learn healthy lifestyles and to keep themselves that way, not to hide behind a mask and remain stressed and fearful. Again, you need to listen to experts other than the CDC, NIH and FDA. They are hiding things from you. You have expert testimony right in front of you providing data and proof that this is wrong. You represent ALL the people in Oakland County not just one group. You need to start listening and representing the interests of all of the members of this community.

We will not be able to look our children in the eyes and tell them we did everything we could to end this crisis if we allow political preferences to interfere with professional medical guidance.

I believe taking a citizen's right to choose away from them by mandating masks on children who are not a threat to Co-Vid 19 isjust plain wrong. Whether or not you believe in the science, whether or not you believe in masks, whether or not you believe in the vaccine is not the issue here! The issue is our freedom! This country was built on freedom and when you enact a one size fits all solution for all you take that freedom to choose away. Let our kids be kids and have the amazing school experience they deserve. Leave them out of your political agendas! Do the right thing and overturn this school mask mandate! Take a stand against the tyranny! Do what's right for our freedom as Americans!

People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing norm about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to share what would have been my public comment. Thank you. Simply, I urge you to remain committed to following all guidelines by the most respected health agencies and hospitals. If the CDC, WHO, AAP, and MDHHS all recommend that schools require universal masking, then it would be quite embarrassing to be part of a county where the decision is made to follow any other guidance. It MUST be a requirement as you can see by attendance at these meetings that certain individuals won't follow the guidance otherwise. All data indicate that masks protect the wearer some, but masking of all parties is what really slows the transmission of Covid-19. Therefore, the choice of masking will result in greater virus transmission and, again, the closing of schools. It is clear that in parts of the country where this guidance has been ignored, children are once again unable to attend school due to the high transmission rate of Covid-19. 1 am proud to be a mom in Oakland County where a rnask mandate has been issued to keep children safer and to keep schools open. Please make all efforts to uphold this timely and helpful rule. Thank you, Candice Hardin Milford, MI QUICK CALL TO ACTION!

As is seen so frequently in everything from elections to political gatherings, Covid social distancing mandates were used as flimsy pretexts for civil rights violations. The lawful protestors were kept out of a public meeting, even though photos of the seating arrangement inside betrayed an almost empty auditorium. This was confirmed by the few participants permitted to go inside. The crowd control tactic of turning on the sprinkler system in the select area of the grounds that a crowd of 500-1000 majority young mothers had gathered to protest the cruel and scientifically -unsupported masking of their children was shamelessly employed by Karl Marx -adherent fanatics masquerading as public servants. The fact that these smug apparatchiks, hiding behind their black masks, also made sure they held a vote to uphold the mask mandate BEFORE the public comment period, only confirms their devotion to the establishment of a form of government that excludes representation of, by and for The People. Then again, we are dealing with communists— er, "Democrats" — so we shouldn't be too surprised when they behave in a manner antithetical to human and civil rights. It's "what they do", after all.

I trust you'll be seeing more of them in the coming days... z Oakland Commissioners Meeting S Zee <steven.zetouna@gmail.com> Fri 9/i/2021 1 I ;b AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear.\4s Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as me who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our continents added to the tecord of last nights mcettng. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: 1 was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, conically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, wading to enter the building. Also, teducmg the number of attendees allowed to access the allditortwn was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter tire building in older to he granted time to speak at the treating. While waiting, we leaned that the Board of Co miissiuners voted on the mask mandate 13EFORE any cittzen testimony was given, and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down patty lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no": all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the put -pose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissionerswithout i egsid for opposition voices yet still commodity members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Markham, even rated (paraphrasing) "t don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner. Janet Jackson, was ohsen tai talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner C'avelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that tit o other Commissions were actually sleeping. rather than pamcipating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children. There were plenty of knowledgeable, ci edentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. t am ashamed to be an Oakland County i esident after what 1 observed last night. I am disgusted, I will continue to tight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Conm»ssioners has cruelly voted to continue Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force." We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopetully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous. undrealthy and harmful mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the next election. Shame on vou!

It should be a parents choice, more harm is being done to these children than good. Jason Gray Stanford University / NIH study on masks: "The data suggest that both medical and non -medical facemasks are ineffective to block human -to - human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death."

Sadly, this public health emergency has widened this gap even more. Attending school in person and receiving additional services that may be needed (i.e. social work, speech therapy, physical therapy/occupational therapy, etc.) is most often the way they can make gains that otherwise prove extremely difficult. Public education by definition is designed for ALL students. Without a universal mask mandate, you instantly eliminate an already -marginalized population: chronically ill children, and other special needs children. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Please consider the most vulnerable and all the special needs children that rely on consistent interventions in a school to make progress and obtain the best education they can receive. Exposure to serious illness and exposures and quarantines will only further to let them slide further down the cracks. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying masks are best for kids.

My son has a phobia Emetophobia which is the fear of throwing up. Having the mask mandate allowed him to feel safe in school and he had a successful first week. If we did not have the mask mandate he would had panic and anxiety and would not have been able to get him to go to school. I sincerely hope that the commissioners understand that both scientific evidence - as well as the majority of citizens - support a mask mandate. Although there is loud opposition, not only do they not have science on their side, they are the minority.

Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 / Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our comments added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Following are my comments to be added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of us.

I know you have their best interest at heart. I am fortunate that I am vaccinated, as is my 8th grader in Novi. My partner is also vaccinated. So we have our safe bubble. But, that is no guarantee that spread won't happen; that kids won't get sick. Masks work. Period. That is why the three of us still wear masks when indoors at stores, etc. And yes, my child will be returning to in -person school in the Fall, and will likely wear a mask no matter what the Commission decides. But, in my opinion, there should be no question on whether they are required, based on data. The fact is that the numbers are yet again increasing in Oakland County. Delta is NOT sparing the young. According to the American Association of Pediatrics (8/26/21, see https://www.aap.grg en pages 2019- novel-coronavirus-covid-19-infections/children-and-covid-19-state-level-data-renort/), a total of 425 kids have died from COVID. This is a small number, but for their families, it is an immense, incalculable loss. What is worrisome, that number went up by 47 in two weeks —and from my look at the data, that was the single largest increase in deaths so far. Here's another number: 19,082 kids have been hospitalized for COVID... that is NOT a small number. And, speaking as someone who was recently intubated for a NON- COVID reason, I do not wish that on ANYONE EVER. Waking up with that tube in my mouth, feeling like I was choking and not knowing why I was intubated, was one of the scariest experiences of my life. I don't want any adult to go through that if they can avoid it, and I CERTAINLY don't want a child to experience it EVER because the adults around them are making poor choices. So, I implore you —set aside the politics, and KEEP the mask mandate for the safety of everyone involved. If and when numbers go down (they will) and as younger kids get ok'd for the vaccine, then we can lift the mandate. The number of deaths and hospitalizations will only increase —let's not let any Oakland County children be among that number. Best Katheryn Maguire Parent, Novi, MI In favor of mask mandate Jennifer DeLong <jendelong123@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11:40 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Board of Commissioners of Oakland County, I am writing to express my opinion in favor of the county wide mask mandate for schools and to have it be part of the record of the board meeting dated September 2, 2021. I believe that having a county wide mask mandate for schools is the best way to ensure that our students remain in person for their education as much as possible. While I do think that parents should have a choice in their child's medical care, i do not believe that wearing a mask to protect the community falls under that. Wearing a mask should be a responsibility that all citizens adopt, but in light of the current community climate, a mandate is unfortunately the best way to accomplish the goals of keeping our students and staff safe and in school.

I do not support mask mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. It was absolutely uncalled for that the public was refused to be let in the building last night at the board meeting. And the fact that a few of our board members got up and walked out is unacceptable and should not be allowed for people to represent OUR voice and OUR people like this. I am not sure if anyone even is aware of our ACTUAL stats for Oxford Community Schools, please see below. Our superintendent Tim Throne is above and beyond what a superintendent should be for his community, for his students, for his families! We are one of the ONLY school districts that stood up for what we believe in and made it an entire YEAR last year with IN PERSON LEARNING! We get weekly updates like below and they are setting a superb example on how to handle COVID within our district. We CLEARLY DO NOT NEED the health department to illegally issue so called "emergency orders" for mask mandates with these kind of numbers listed below. As of Thursday 9/2 our district only has SIX cases and NONE of which were traced to be related to school exposure. WAKE UP Oakland County Health Department and all board members! This is WRONG and we as a community will stand up for our freedom and justice until this order is lifted. A public community member that sat inside the building last night observed the commissioners and how many times they touched or pulled down their masks BEFORE the public comments started. She counted FORTY SEVEN TIMES! That means 47 times those masks should have been changed due to contamination of their hands which touched everything else around them! i watched every single person speak at the board meeting last night, many of which were professionals that KNOW that mask mandates truly are not the answer to fighting COVID. I really don't need to go into any more detail than everyone shared last night. It is pretty obvious the mask mandate is wrong. It is pretty obvious that my five young children are emotionally and mentally affected by the proven harmful effects of them wearing a mask 7+ hours per day. I am a nurse at a local trauma one hospital, our COVID numbers are nowhere near what they were in the height of this pandemic. In a 400+ bed hospital, we currently have 14 COVID patients, 4 of which in the ICU, and only ONE on a ventilator! We are in NO emergency order situation that should even consider a mask mandate because MASKS DO NOT STOP AEROSOL AIRBORNE TRANSMISSION viruses!

You either want no masks and intermittent in person school (due to illnesses) or masks with in person school orjust online school. It's a highly transmissible virus. Period. That's not up for debate, it's a fact. Hospitals are full. Not debatable. There's a shortage of teachers and substitute teachers and if our teachers get sick then schools will have to close.

Other states that have started school in larger numbers than our county are seeing the negative effects of not universally masking - we should learn from them and do better. Please protect our children and allow them to safely attend face to face school. Please keep masks in schools. Elizabeth Laws Milford MI Subject line: Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Sujata Raman <sujatashah@gmail.com> Fri 913J2021 11:41 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> As the parent of incoming 5th and 6th graders to Novi schools this year, I am begging this board to uphold the mask mandate implemented by the Oakland County Health Department. I understand there are those that oppose mandates, citing the fact that we have so few kids in seriously ill/in ICU/dead from COVID. My response to that is to look at schools in the south that have opened without mandates. It's not as if opening without a mandate would be a "let's try it without and see what happens" situation - we already KNOW what will happen; all we have to do is look at schools that have donejust that. Cases of COVID in kids are through the roof. Pediatric ICUs are overrun. This not only means any others getting sick with COVID have no place to go, children with other health issues needing medical care are unable to get that care. While I understand that "most kids do ok" with COVID, not all do. And we have no way of determining which ones will fare well and which ones won't. I, for one, am not willing to take that chance with my kids. All of this says nothing of the fact that we don't know the long term effects of COVID on kids. For those kids under 12 that have no option be vaccinated, They have ZERO protection. Masks are ALL they have. The effectiveness of universal masking is a proven, scientific fact. The "studies" used by those opposed to masks to argue that they do harm are dubious at best. How is wearing a mask for the good of the classroom any different than an entire classroom being totally nut free due to one child's allergy?? We do it because we value the safety of our kids - ALL of our kids. I can say that for me, if masks are not mandated, my kids will not be attending school in -person. Which I hate to do to my kids but I don't see any other choice. This is not politics, its science, And the science says masks are the best way to prevent spread.

Allison Iversen <aaiversen@yahoo.com> Fri 9/3/2021 1 1:42 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Dear Oakland County Commissioners, My name is Allison Iversen and I am a resident of Lake Orion in Oakland County. I am also a teacher. I fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately. I do not support the health department's mask mandates and am alarmed with the overreach we are experiencing. I support parental rights and choice for each child. Parents who wish to mask their children may do so, but those of us who have chosen not to mask our children should not be forced in order to "make people feel better" (since the science clearly indicates it offers little to no protection and can even be dangerous for little children who have spit/bacteria soaked masks on all day long). Thank you for your time and service to the community! -Allison Iversen Support of unmasking the children Gretchen Swarbrick <gsvvarbrick12@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11:42 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <Cerk@oakgovcom> I, Gretchen Swarbrick, a resident of Oakland Township, fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately! I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child! Sincerely, Gretchen Swarbrick Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9/2/2021 Nicole Kessler <kess4school@gmail.com> Fri 9/3/2021 11 A2 AM To: Miller III, William Allen <millerw@oakgov.com>; Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> My name is Nicole Kessler. I live in Beverly Hills. Myson attends elementary school in the Birmingham district. My son returned to school Monday and is very excited to be learning in person again. If masks were not required, I would not have been able to allow him to go to school in person. My son's situation is complicated and Covid has made it very difficult to make the best decisions for him. He has a rare defect in his ears called Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct. It is an orphan illness, but also the leading cause of deafness in children. While not much is known about why some kids with this condition have sudden, permanent hearing loss; they do believe that inflammation is one of the causes. I am concerned every time he bumps his head or gets a respiratory infection. Throughout his childhood, his condition will be it likely that he cannot do a lot of things other kids and families take for granted like participate in certain sports (including wrestling and football) and ride roller coasters. I am even nervous about him flying. We spend every day assessing risks and rewards. I definitely do not shelter him, but we talk about the risks of his activities and make rational decisions. I should not have to do that when it comes to him going to school. The risk is low enough that I am comfortable with him being in school as long as everyone (unvaccinated or not) is wearing a mask. We all know that when all parties are masked the risk of transmission is lowest. In a mask optional school setting, my unvaccinated ten year old would face too much risk of infection for me to allow him to go to school in person. For most children, in person school is the best option. It is no different for my very active and social ten year old. He has ADHD and receives occupational therapy at school. With his learning needs, virtual school was very difficult for him. He had trouble staying on task. He didn't finish assignments. He also missed the social aspects of school very much. Wearing a mask is not about choice for everyone. If the people around my son do not wear a mask, he cannot go to school. That is a consequence. A consequence for someone else's choice. That is a taking away of a right. His rights will be violated by another person's choice if masks are optional. As lawmakers, you have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable kids in our county like my son. I thank those of you who support universal masking in schools and ask those of who don't to consider why you do not and how that may affect your political career moving forward. Policies that exclude disabled individuals from society should not be a platform either party adopts. Regards, Nicole Kessler Beverly Hills Sent from Mail for Windows Official Entry for Commissioner's meeting on 9.2.21 Gary S <garyds1974@gmail,com> Fri 9/3/2021 11,42 AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Lisa Brown, I've received a text that mentions that anti -maskers showed up to a county meeting in droves, to speak about their displeasure of wearing a mask. I've tried to research this text and whether it is true. I've decided to err on the side of caution, and send this email anyway. The science supports masks, and a new study from Israel also points to great success from masks. Please protect the rest of us, from anti - maskers, and keep the mask mandate in place. I won't get into a 50 page fact vs fiction presentation, but the evidence supporting masks has been proven in surgical rooms, toxic areas, and many other areas. There are thousands of validated mask studies to support the use of masks. When we interpret data accurately, we know that masks help curtail the spread of the virus. I had a conversation with a smoker about the displeasure of second hand smoke invading my personal space, my lungs, my clothes, etc. IT came to light that my father, who smoked like a chimney for 41 years, died from all the complications of smoking. His final decade was a decade where his poor smoking choice negatively impacted my life in a myriad of ways. I didn't have to, but I felt obligated to take care of him because of his poor choices. I believe my non-smoker mother contracted cancer from his second hand smoke. My father's suffering was incredible. He couldn't breath, was on oxygen for years, while constantly fighting for air. Nobody deserves that punishment, but yet purveyors of the cause still purvey. My father cursed cigarettes and wished he had never started smoking as a teen. Hindsight is too late. The logic of the smoker is the same failed logic anti -maskers are using. Anti -maskers can choose not to wear a mask, but I can't choose to keep their contaminated air out of my personal space. Anti -maskers feel they are being violated; which is their opinion. Pro -maskers certainly don't feel violated. Who is truly being violated? I would surmise nobody is being violated with a mask mandate. However, everybody is being violated if we do not have a mask mandate. Hindsight can't revive the dead, but foresight might prevent us from dying. In fact, anti -maskers are violating my right to be safe. Anti -maskers are forcing those with weakened immune systems to fear for their lives. It is our duty to protect each other, and reduce risks. If we are going to think like anti -maskers, we might as well remove stop signs, traffic lights, smoke alarms, and all protective devices. In fact, I would prefer natural selection, but the illogical would never survive; if we let these weak and close minded complainers force us into illogical decisions. Mob mentality has lynched slaves, burned witches at the stake, and even executed people with different religious convictions during the Inquisition. Oakland County should rule in favor of taking any and all precautions to eliminate the virus. if the anti - maskers show up in droves, it's because the anti -maskers don't have enough common sense to stay at home; and avoid social gatherings. The turnout of anti -maskers is simply because they don't use logic in their decision making. These same people are road rage inciters, debate shouters, bullies, and mob rule mindsets. They can't process a factual argument correctly, so they believe opinions merit the same standing as facts. They will never be reasoned with. Please keep all mask mandates intact until Covid-19(Covid) is eliminated. My 7 year old son, and my 23 year old daughter have compromised immune systems. My daughter is in college, and my son is in grade school. My daughter is on heart medication, and my son has asthma. If either of them should perish due to contracting Covid from non -maskers, what recourse would I have? We can't replace the lost ones who've contracted Covid and perished; from anti -maskers and anti -vaccine. Masks will help protect my children, especially while they are in school. We have limited controls in place to stop the spread of Covid. We need to use all of these controls to stop the spread of the virus. It is because of those who disobey the protective rules, who've allowed Covid to persist. If people would merely follow the rules for 60 days, we could drive this virus to extinction. Wind and air are unpredictable. It is not only the virus we have to protect ourselves from, but we must also protect ourselves from the unpredictable nature of how this virus spreads and is contracted. Masks are that protection. Factually, most people don't cure diseases, run validated experiments, aren't scientific researchers, epidemiologists or virologists. These highly educated folks wholeheartedly support any and all mask mandates. Why is it that any of the opinions ofthe anti -maskers should have any merit in this discussion at all? Scientists everywhere have supported mask wearing. Let's put opinion aside, and use fact and logic instead. We have a society of people who fail to understand even the simplest logic, who distrust. A society too lazy to check facts before acting. A society where a few fear mongers prosper from snake oil, political fundraising, and fear mongering. Until we put laws in place to force people to use common sense, we will never rid ourselves of persistent health and safety risks. Until then, we must take any precautions we can to save lives. We have laws which protect us from stupidity in place everywhere, so maybe wejust might consider creating a new law to protect us from spreading the virus. Thank you for keeping the mandate in place as long as necessary. Thank you for protecting those who need protection. Please let this letter serve as support for masks in any past, present, or future meetings. Best regards, Gary Unmask our Children!

The kids who are too young to be vaccinated must be protected! My kids have never once complained about their masks being uncomfortable or unbearable. They arejust happy to be back in school after a year and a half at home. The best way to KEEP kids in school is to wear masks and get vaccinated when they are eligible.

I watched the whole meeting on 9/2/21 and was absolutely disgusted by the cowardly acts displayed by some of the board members. Last minute change the mask rules for schools, last minute change how many people come in, locking the doors, not allowing people in a public meeting until after you voted down the mandates, board members walking out on speakers, what an absolute disgrace. I've been a democrat damn near my whole life up until recently, my dad was a union guy through and through. The union, the democratic union, represents the fight for ALL people and to fight against powers that are unruly and unfair and ensure that there is a level playing field. They fight to make sure that the people, the foundation of the company are supported and looked after and their voices are heard. Unfortunately all I saw last night was a nasty, unethical, cowardice power grab from the party I supported for so many years and this board displayed that rhetoric loud and clear. You have shown without a doubt that you are only concerned about your power vs the actual safety of children otherwise you would have not gone above and beyond to hide like a coward while the public, that YOU SERVE, is begging for change. Some of you could not even look them in the eye. You aren't fighting for anything other than your seat. The facts were overwhelming. Certified governmental industrial hygienists proved studies and actual data that support masks are just for show. Dr's providing additional studies on the harm of bacteria in those masks that are causing other health issues. Workers proving that asbestos and the virus are the same size yet none of you were even remotely wearing the right mask to protect anything and so on and so on. Again, the data was overwhelming. The outcry of the people was overwhelming. To top it all off, the studies that this mandate was based off of was bogus, not even peer reviewed and had no control study to even confirm the results. That is sad and pathetic. You are simply weak leaders, plain and simple and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Do the right thing and end this mandate.

OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DISRESPECTS and IGNORES CONSTITUENTS Kathy <kmae690@gmai1.com> Fri 9/3/2021 I 1:4S AM To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov com> Cc: Gingel 1, Michael James <gingellm@oakgovcom> Clerk Brown: As a citizen, I find it shameful how some - especially Woodward and Markham - on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners have failed the citizens by conducting county business without the expected transparency required of a responsible public official to properly act in the best interests of ALL COUNTY CITIZENS. It is entirely unacceptable that our citizens' equity is being squandered with questionable actions which jeopardize the personal and financial security of ALL taxpayers of this county. On June 30, 2021, the course of events that converted $244 million American Rescue Plan Funds from an Assignment (drafted in back room by Woodward and Ward in Democratic Caucus) to an Appropriation in a previously unpublished Finance Committee meeting, called to order at 5:55 that concluded at 5:58pm creating Full Board Package Version 3, complete with a modified Appropriation resolution TWO MINUTES IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING. Additionally, the vote was taken as part of the Consent Agenda which I did not see listed in the Agenda that way, and do not understand how that could be considered proper procedure, On August 24, the Public Safety Meeting approved (in excess of authority?) major proposals, one for $10 million and a wasteful renamed Landlord Risk fund n/k/a Unlocking Doors Oakland. Due to the NEW SYSTEM, NO PACKET WAS AVAILABLE. Now hundreds of pages of data has NO LINKS TO PROPOSALS WHATSOEVER. No longer can the Version or date of modification be recorded; this has been a continual issue. The INTENT of the OPEN MEETINGS ACT is to allow the Public the opportunity to see how their tax dollars are being used to benefit the community, The fact that this Board REGULARLY HAS NOT EVEN PROVIDED 18 HOURS NOTICE FOR IMPORTANT ISSUES demonstrates the disrespect of the citizens' rights. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! These self-serving budget proposals will permanently inflate the cost of government. Since we received so much money from the American Rescue Plan, why did the Board find the need to increase property taxes so much? The average 3.84% PROPERTY TAX INCREASE is actually an AVERAGE, but the range is drastic and seems to be targeted politically. I have even heard people (I thought Coulter stated) there was NO TAX INCREASE, which is In directly contradiction to the documents from 4-29-21 meeting. There is no justification for reduction of our Sheriff's office $1.5 million while INCREASING the amount for the Board of Commissioners' spending that EXCEEDS the Sheriff's reduction. Because this Board has elected to add 4 social worker positions while losing 20 law enforcement positions, they are showing a net reduction of 16 positions, but from the citizens' safety perspective, if you want to ADD support for mental health that is fine, but we want you to ADD FUNDING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. Criminal expungements and Refugee and Immigrants are targeted for the employment and housing training funds, improperly reducing availability to protect and serve the taxpayers who fund the County. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CREATE JOBS, IT MERELY SETS POLICY THAT EITHER HELPS OR HURTS AMERICAN EMPLOYMENT Current County policies are anti -business and the fact that the government spending and staffing is increasing at the same time 25% of the businesses no longer exist is fiscally irresponsible. Although I was not able to attend the first two dates for Budget Hearings, I did attend in person on August 11th, August 25th and the final date which was added to accommodate the Homeland Security Department's need to delay their originally scheduled hearing date of August 25th to August 31st at 9:30am. During EACH OF THOSE BUDGET REVIEW HEARINGS 1 received an updated version of the ever evolving "Summary of Budget Amendments and Their Impact on Revenue and Planned Use of Funds Balance" 1. AUGUST lath Amendment List (23 pages total): a. Covers Sections Al through A-8 (pages 1-16) b. HAS NO SECTION B c. Covers Sections C1 through C-7 (pages 17-23) 2. AUGUST 2Sth Amendment List (41 pages total) a. Covers Sections Al through A-9 (pages 1-18) (Section A9 was added) b. Added Sections B1 through B3 (pages 19-31) THIS SECTION ADDED c. Covers Sections C1 through C9 (pages 32-41) (Sections C8 and C9 ADDED) 3. AUGUST 315t Amendment List (46 pages total) a. Covers Sections Al through A-9 (pages 1-19) b. Covers Sections B1 through B3 (pages 20-32) c. Covers Sections C1 through C13 (pages 34-46) (Sections C10 through C13 ADDED) L C-10 adds $2 million ii. C-11 adds $2 million iii. C-12 adds $1 million and iv. C-13 adds $1 million (so total $6 million added on newly scheduled 8-31 @ 9:30 meeting!?) It makes a citizen wonder if the school mask mandate announcement timing of August 24th evening (certain to generate protests) was an orchestration to ensure the need for the Homeland Security budget review meeting to move from August 25th as published to the rescheduled, previously unpublished date of August 31st at 9:30am for the final budget review? At the meeting last night, it was disgraceful how few citizens were allowed to enter the building to participate in the Public Meeting. The Auditorium was very empty. I have experienced and witnessed rude interruptions by Chairman Woodward often, but the fact that many hundreds of citizens were disregarded, even changing the Rules to make sure they could not have input about the medically questionable mask mandate (as testified by multiple medical experts) and damaging impact that unconstitutional medical discrimination will have on our developing children. Our Constitution must be upheld in all cases; parents have the right to choose for their children, not politicians. Our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS are being violated by one sided politicians; MEDICAL PRIVACY and CHOICE MUST BE PROTECTED. WE EXPECT NO FORM of DISCRIMINATION WILL BE TOLERATED FOR ANY REASON and OAKLAND COUNTY MUST REGAIN ITS REPUTATION AS A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE COUNTY THAT IS MANAGED WITH INTEGRITY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL CITIZENS.

I do not support mandates. I support parental rights and choice for each child. My children struggle with headaches, light-headedness, and sore, dry throats from wearing masks for 8 hours each day at school and on the bus. Over the past week I have seen countless examples of middle school kids touching their masks repeatedly with unclean hands to adjust them or lowering them to "catch a breath". I've also noticed kids wearing the same masks every day and it's very obvious that they are not being washed. I arr horrified at the damage that is being done to them socially as they cannot share smiles, signs of empathy as well as other facial cues. Please reverse this poorly thought out mandate!

My husband is on the front lines as a firefighter and paramedic and I provide care for my father who has COPD and lives in my home. I am respectfully and humbly Asking you to please keep the mask mandate in place so that I don't have to choose between my children's education and health of my family while I know that masks do not provide 100% protection against the spread of Covid, Proper mask used by everyone in an interior space in conjunction with ventilation drastically reduces COVID- 19 transmission. Thank you Rebel Molina Last nights commissioners meeting regarding mask mandate Sylvia Dabish <sylviasandiha@yahco.com> Fri 9/3/202'1 11i45 ANI To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgovcom> Dear Ms. Brown: I am sending this email to your attennou, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have our continents added to the record of last night's meeting. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter Following are my comments to be added to the rxord: 1 was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak. 1 was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently tamed on, itotneully only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the budding. Also, reducing the number of'attendecs allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those tactics deterred anyone, though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfully waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted time to speak at the merlin,*. White waiting, we learned that the Board of Commissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testimony was given; and the vote was, unsurprisingly, right down party lines. All the democratic Commissioners voted "no"; all the others voted "yes." What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us are given the opportunity to speak? And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet stilt community members, decided to leave the meeting, without Listening to any of us. One of the Commissioners, Gwen Maddmm, even stated tparaphrasina) "I don't have to listen to this," and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Cormuissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what then constituents were saving. And, finally, it appeared that two other Commissions were actuallysleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack of respect for those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and safety of our children There were plenty of knowledgeable, credentialed, licensed professionals who gave testimony about the absolute danger and harm that is done to children who are forced to wear a mask. By observation, none of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what I observed last night. 1 am disgusted. I will continue to fight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue Shame on all of you who voted to keep this mask mandate "in force- We will continue to fight this, and you; and hopefully each of you who voted to keep this dangerous, unhealthy and hamtfat mask mandate in place will lose your seats in the nest election.

My name is Kacy Bailey and I have lived in Oakland County my entire life. I currently reside in Troy. I have 2 children, ages 7 and 10 who attend a school in the Troy School District. I am a former engineer for General Motors with a Bachelors and Masters degree in Engineering. After 10 years, I left the company and pursued a more rewarding career in nursing and received my bachelors degree in nursing in 2010.1 am currently working as a nurse at Ascension St. John Hospital in Detroit in the pediatric intensive care unit. I wish to make known to you my strong conviction that our public health agencies, specifically the Oakland County Health Division, are not using the data from our community to make decisions for our community. At the beginning of this pandemic, I was fearful, just like everyone else. My family did "our part." We stayed home, we social distanced when we had to go out, we wore masks, even before they were mandated, we did not socialize even with our own extended family for months, all in the name of protecting each other and protecting the ability of our health care system to take care of Covid patients. But then after a while, I started seeing the pandemic with my own eyes instead of just what I saw on the news. For months, I was repeatedly cancelled from my shifts at the hospital because we had very few pediatric patients at the time. No one was coming to or bringing their children to the hospital unless it was absolutely necessary. Everyone was afraid to catch Covid. The total number of pediatric Covid patients my unity has had over the course of the last year and half has probably been less than 20 and of those that did have Covid, the vast majority of that tiny number of patients were not admitted FOR Covid. Most were admitted for other reasons and when tested were found to be WITH Covid. That is not a talking point. Don't just brush it off because it is what is being seen all over the country and I have seen it myself with my own eyes. For accurate perspective I will share how things have changed at my hospital over the course of the pandemic. At the worst of the pandemic in spring 2020, my hospital had over 260 Covid patients (total - adults and peds) at once. It was bad. So I am not a Covid denier by any means. We didn't have many peds patients but we did have a lot of adults, mostly elderly. This past winter we went through 2 more spikes in cases in our area. My hospital had at the worst, 150 or so Covid patients during those spikes. So it was busy, yes, but similar to a bad flu season and we are always busy over the winter. More recently, as of Friday, August 20, 2021 my hospital had 14 total Covid patients (this includes kids and adults). I DO NOT UNDERSTAND how the Oakland County Health Division can declare an "emergency" mandate for our children from this number of cases in our community. Why are they preemptively mandating masks based on numbers from other states that are having a spike (which for the record is already on its way down despite having optional masking in most places in those states). Also, I insist to know WHY our health division continues to use case numbers to determine community spread when we have a 70% vaccination rate in our county. if these vaccines work as intended, it does not STOP the spread. Our own CDC has admitted that vaccinated people can still catch and transmit the disease. The point of the vaccine was to reduce symptoms and reduce the risk of death from Covid. That has been stated from the very beginning. If vaccines are working, we should see a decrease in hospitalizations and deaths, despite any increase in cases. So at the very least, why aren't they using hospitalizations and death from Covid-19 infections IN ADDITION TO cases, to guide community health policies? It is sad that since the beginning of the pandemic, the only thing reported was death and dying and reports of the worst cases imaginable. It has struck many with fear that they have not been able to overcome despite what is actually going on around us. We have no correct perception of our personal risk because the news looks the same every day. If a person was not seriously digging into the numbers and just read the news every day they can't even see the difference between what happened last spring 2020 to what is happening now. That is skewing of perception in our community (and our country) makes many feel that their personal risk and the risk to their children of getting severe Covid is MANY times higher than it actually is. So now, because our health division hasn't appeared to examine the data for OUR specific community, every child in our county is being forced to wear a mask for 7-10 hours a day (7 for school kids but even more for kids in daycares, or before and after school programs). That is CRIMINAL. Yes, I understand that there are vulnerable kids out there and honestly, if I found out my child had a medically vulnerable classmate I would be willing to ask my child to mask for the sake of that vulnerable child. I am not heartless. i care about those kids too. But having a blanket mandate that doesn't make sense for 99% of our kids/students makes zero sense. Some kids cannot tolerate masks. Some kids are already having negative health effects from wearing them. The risk of masking children has been too easily overlooked as not a big deal, Why have no public health agencies looked into the risks of masking children before assuming it's no big deal? Why do we they say that ANY decrease in transmission, no matter how miniscule, is worth whatever the risk is to mask 200,000+ children for an entire school year. Please REVERSE this mandate and look at the ACTUAL data in our community. In this situation, your health division is crying wolf. They are telling us there is an emergency when all evidence says there isn't one for our community. How can we ever believe what your health ddivision says again. It's a shame. They are abusing their "power" when many have even pointed out that they don't even rightly HAVE that power. Lastly, I am also speaking out against vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. My hospital health system has mandated that all employees must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by November 12. So I am another nurse who WANTS to work and help our community but am probably going to be fired soon because I have some questions about the long term safety of a medication they want me to take that has been in existence for barely a year. For a vaccine that has been proven to do nothing to stop community spread (see Israel and many other highly vaccinated countries) but only to help with symptoms, why isn't it an individual choice whether or not to take it. Our hospitals are not overwhelmed. But I guess they very well could be overwhelmed this fall/winter, but NOT because of unvaccinated people overflowing the hospitals but because these companies are being allowed to discriminate against cautious employees and are firing seasoned health professionals in the midst of a staffing shortage that existed far before this pandemic. These vaccine mandates ARE going to cause our hospitals to be overwhelmed and you guys must bear part of the blame because many of you WANT these mandates and vaccine passports. If you think Covid will be eradicated even with 100% vaccination then you really aren't looking at the science. Please look at the numbers yourself. It is your responsibility to stand up for ALL the citizens of this county. Please do the right thing and let people make their own personal medical decisions for masks and vaccines. Thank you, Kacy Bailey safety for our kids.

There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing norm about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members.

Having attended several Committee and Full Board meetings since this Spring, I truly wonder how the BOC expects the public, let alone themselves, to read 600-899 pages of agenda and support materials sent a day or so prior to meetings. If the Board respected its constituents, it would abide by the spirit of the Open Meetings Act and not violate the Act, which i have seen in some cases. Why is it that sometimes the Dent Caucus goes for hours, then a surprise Finance meeting pops up, and then the full BOC begins late. This is such poor administration. Why is it that the content of some meetings is changed, ie assignments and appropriations, without the public being given transparency per the Open Meetings Act? This fosters major lack of trust in the Board by the public. What is being hidden in the finances? Why does the web calendar format and content change dates and times so often that the public must monitor daily? Why are minutes, agendae and backup material presented last-minute online? Again, really poor administration. Why is it that attendees with different opinions than those of the Dem Board members are not allowed in the building to express views and must wait outside for hours, in the rain (oh, wait, the sprinklers)? Why must the public, many with children in tow, be relegated to end -of -meeting public comment? This lack of respect borders on disgusting. It is no wonder that this writer and many co -citizens are sick of the Board's freedom -of -speech discrimination against us and the Repub Caucus on the Board; we are tired of being ignored; we are disgusted by excesses in legal authoritarianism; and angrier by the moment in this unprofessionalism.

To have the government tell me that my kids need to be muzzled all day is absolutely unacceptable. Our votes will be heard loud and clear in November and this tyranny has got to stop. Those still steeped in fear over COVID can stay home and should not hold back all the kids and families who want their kids to have a solid education. We pay tuition to send our kids to a private school. We did this to take the government out of our classrooms and now this?! Lastly. It was very frustrating to see members of the Health Division leaving even before all the voices were heard. Please listen to EVERYONE sending you notes this morning and do the right thing!

Life was basically paralyzed. We no longer could do simple things because of this uncertain enemy that had arrived in our Country. Schools were shuttered. With uncertainty looming and rumors of limited PPE, on March 14, 2020 1 put on my scrubs and hugged my children good bye as I went off to work. I cared for my first Covid-19 patient that night and it was the last time I saw my Children until May 21, 2020. 1 sent them 2 hours away to prevent from infecting them or anybody else and so that somebody could help them continue to learn while I worked nearly everyday to care for critically ill covid patients. As the virus surged again in summer 2020 ,I knew with what I was seeing that trying to open and keep schools open in the midst of a pandemic was going to be chaotic and difficult. I also was consistently being mandated to work extra shifts to cover increasing hospital census so we had no choice but to choose to stay virtual. With a lump in my throat and pain in my heart, I again sent my children away to their grandparents so that they could help them with their virtual schooling. My children's education is my number one priority. I only saw my children 3 days a week for the entire school year because myjob as an intensive care nurse is serve during these unprecedented times and myjob as a mother is to do what is in the best interest of my children. I can't work to help people and effectively educate my children. I was looking forward to this school year as were my children. Things were looking up. We have very effective vaccine options and numbers were looking good. Now the numbers are climbing again. We are seeing increased ICU admissions. We know that masks are not fool proof but they are highly effective at reducing transmission but only if everybody is wearing them. This is facts, This public health crisis has been turned into a political circus, and the continuation of said chaos will only prolong the suffering of this pandemic. I beg you to please let the medical professionals dictate the policies and protocols when it comes to the health and safety of our communities. My children are in school. They are happy and get up early eager to go. Wearing a mask does not bother them. Being isolated from children and separated from their parents causes more distress to my children than wearing a mask. Masks are not child abuse and as a nurse who has cared for children who have been abused, I find it disgusting that anybody would even make that comparison. Masks can help us deter shut downs and quarantines. They keep kids in those seats and learning. If learning is the priority and what is at stake here, than masks are the answer until we can get this virus under control.

I was unable to do so, for reasons I will spell out in this email. First, however, I would like to thank the Democratic members of your board for thwarting efforts to vote on overturning the mandate. My three children are students in the Lake Orion Community School District. My oldest is vaccinated, but my younger two are under 12. To be honest, I was terrified to send them to in -person school this year. Despite the CDC, AAP, MDHHS, and OCHD recommending universal masking in schools, our Superintendent and School Board were refusing to mandate masks. This, despite evidence that in an anti -mask Facebook group, parents were advocating others to ignore COVID symptoms, to refuse testing, and to send their children to school ill. I won't go into the evidence that masking works, and that the unmasked- even vaccinated- can carry and spread the virus. This is common knowledge, supported by peer -reviewed research and every major health organization, and is undeniable. Thus, thank you to those of you who voted "no" on suspending the rules in order to vote to overturn the OCHD's order. To my Commissioner- Mr. Gingell- I am an Independent. I voted for you in the last election, as did my husband. You have now lost my vote, my husband's vote, as well my oldest's vote. Your inability to separate the safety of our children from politics is inexcusable. I wish I had been able to say all this to you in person. However, because of your understandable capacity limits for the building, all but one of our pro -mask group was forced to stand in line with a sea of angry, unmasked, hateful individuals, who were able to single us out by the masks we wore for protection. gp_sEPDuring my time outside, I was verbally harassed over 20 times, was poked, bumped, screamed at, and finally... was pushed by two grown men with their bodies when trying to talk to an Oakland County Sheriffs officer about how unsafe I felt. This caused me to fall into a woman in the crowd, who then declared I had pushed her, and started another tirade of screaming. is€isEPlt was at that point that I decided I was no longer going to speak. It was a volatile situation, and I didn't feel safe. I didn't know if my name and location would need to be stated as per usual with these meetings. I didn't know if the commissioners would require me to "sign in" when I spoke. All I knew was that I didn't want this crazy, rabid mob of individuals to know my name or where in Oakland County I :c, Ilved {SEP SEP' I am ashamed that I didn't speak. i had a speech prepared, and had two letters to read on behalf of others who felt unsafe attending the event. We were told numerous times BY COMMISSIONERS that it was important to have pro -maskers to show up as the board needed to see that the anti -maskers were in the minority. sE sEPBut, let's talk about this shall we? The Board did not require masking. You didn't require social distancing either inside or out. There was no remote option to speak for those who didn't feel safe attending the event. And, there was literally no response by the Sheriffs who witnessed me being PUSHED by two grown men and subsequently screamed at by a rabid anti -masker. sghpi4Pi You created and fostered an UNSAFE environment through a lack of rules and preparation. sLP sEPfihen, you expected us to show up, and stand up to these individuals- with little to no concern or preparation for our safety?? I am thus imploring you to have a virtual speaking option at your next meeting. Or, to provide a safe barrier for masked individuals who want to speak, but don't want to face violence, intimidation, and possible viral exposure by the unmasked crowd. What happened to me yesterday was inexcusable. DO BETTER. This was not okay. None of this was okay.

Health Division mandate of Universal Masking for K-12! As the governing body over the Health Division, I implore you to put a stop to these unlawful "Mandates!" The ,.science" that is being cited widely to support the mandates is not really scientific evidence, but statistical data. Moreover, the statistical data that is cited grossly ignores the categories that make up the data - in fact, this morning's dashboard still does not have any deaths in the k-12 range, meaning that the disease, while real, does not adversely impact our youngest population. Our county is comprised of intelligent, well -employed individuals. I have to believe that our population are capable of critical thinking, thoughtful decision making, and are capable of being held personally responsible for their decision and actions. This tactic of universal masking without solid scientific evidence of the effectivity of masks and their use in the school systems specifically - is one that is based on fear and control - implying that our strong community is incapable of living as empowered decision makers. In my experience over the summer, I was a chaperone for a band camp for a student population of 184. While our organization implemented measures that were overly cautious, there was not one student, staff, chaperone that contracted COVID-19 or got sick during our 1 week stay. The students were able to live freely, and even enjoyed activities without fear. Some chose to mask up, and were respected for their choice. We operated under the guise that all are healthy unless presented otherwise. While I understand that the "seasonal" factor of COVID may be driving the Health Dept's edict, It still implies that our community is incapable of being personally responsible and thus require a mandate from a body that is not supposed to have legislative authority. Why can't you, our Board of Commissioners, the ones who do have authority, not see that this is unlawful and out of theirs and your swimlane? Why are you, our Commissioners, allowing the Health dept to ASSUME that all children are SICK - when all the masking mandate is doing is continuing to make our kids SICK - beyond COVID, but also mentally and emotionally sick? Why not continue to allow the people of the great county of Oakland to be ones who CHOOSE to mask, CHOOSE to vaccinate, CHOOSE to stay home when they are sick? I am shocked at the lack of integrity, the complete hypocrisy that is being demonstrated by your inaction in removing this mandate. Please, reconsider. I certainly will be considering this when it comes time for the election.

It is far past time to get back to community responsibility and shared effort. You all, as leaders of our communities have a duty to your constituents to work in our collective best interests and to listen to qualified health experts whose education, training and experience should not be discounted or discarded in favor of any other reason. Simply put, these are not normal times and failing to promote reasonable and simple precautions to prevent spread of CoVid will only prolong this crisis. Masks for kids are safe, supported by scientific consensus and promote uninterrupted in -person school for all students. Continue to support the mask order and the experts who have determined that this is the safest and least disruptive intervention for kids at this time. Thank you.

To date this, and the previous version of such mandate,s have driven my oldest child out of school, which luckily enough we were able to enroll him virtually to maintain his education. My youngest, having just started developmental kindergarten, has no other option but to attend in person. The mask mandate has caused him, at 4 years old, to deal with lethargy, headaches and numerous asthma attacks .... all of which started the day he was unilaterally forced to where a face mask for 8 hours a day, straight. I stand with all parents and individuals crying foul at the clear over reach of the health department to forcibly hamstring people from making a choice that suits them and their children best. Where does this stop? Masks today, maybe tomorrow eating eggs aren't good so parents can't feed their children either..... seems pretty outlandish of a claim .... but so did children being forced to wear an article of clothing that clearly inhibits basic breathing. A simply snatch and grab theft of our inalienable right to do whats best for our families. I implore the Board of Commissioners to follow through on Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse/rescind the mask mandate immediately. Give people/families back the rights that have clearly been stolen. I would also ask that those individuals at the health department, that drove this mask mandate, also be held criminally responsible for the grotesque over reach of basic human rights.

ALL of the top medical experts are calling for masks to keep our children not only safe in school (especially those who are too young to be vaccinated yet) but to keep them IN school! As representatives of your community, you should listen to the experts in their fields (since you are not medical disease specialists) and act in the best interests of your constituents. DO NOT RESCIND THE MASK MANDATE. Please don't listen to the loud angry parents who apparently don't care about their children's safety or the safety of others in our community. They are being selfish in not listening to the experts. Sincerely, Jamie Rawcliffe Rochester Hills Resident & Parent Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 - please don't remove the mask mandates Jessie Earl <jessieearl22@gmail.com> ,,, 9/3,202.1 11:49 Ma l To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> Hello, I am the parent of 1 child in the Royal Oak Public School district, and I am in support of keeping the mask mandate in our schools. It is ourjob to make sure we are doing everything in our power to ensure our children are protected from unnecessary illness. Just like we require certain nutritional components in school lunches, vaccination records, and health checkups, we can require our community to do it's part to protect children who are too young for the covid vaccine. Right now, masks and social distancing are the primary tools available to us to protect them, so we must maintain the mask mandate. I also have two baby girls at home who we need to protect as best we can. Kids do just fine with masking and that small effort can greatly reduce spread to other families. I will say it again, it is extremely important to maintain the mask mandate for Oakland County schools for the health and safety of our children. We need to keep supporting this mandate for the following reasons: 1. The masks are not harming anyone, and are proven to reduce risk of infection with the covid virus. 2. Our children deserve to be able to attend in -person learning for their social and academic needs, to increase the likelihood that they can remain in person as long as possible, we need to reduce the likelihood of covid infections, therefore reducing the risk of infection should be a top priority. 3. We all should be doing our part to slow the spread of the virus. The faster the virus spreads, the more potential for even more harmful variants to emerge. If mask mandates slow the spread AND increase the likelihood that our children can stay in in -person learning, this shouldn't even be a question that the mask mandates should stay in place. Some children or teachers not wearing masks greatly reduces the efficiency of this method and puts all in danger. If we truly want what's best for our community, and most of all, our children, we need to be working together to make decisions that support the health and safety of us all. Right now, that means maintaining the mask mandate in our schools. Hearing the opposing concerns of so many must weigh heavy on you all and I appreciate all that you're doing to keep our schools open and safe for all.

And it reaches beyond that. Kids are an extension of a larger family unit. There are kids whose parents are fighting cancer, whose grandparents are their legal guardians, who have siblings waiting for transplants in hospital beds. Freedom isn't freedom if it doesn't apply to everyone. Optional masks will satisfy preferences, sure. Mask mandates optimize safety. Choosing preference over safety has never been the right side of history, and it is certainly not indicative of public education policy. Keep schools an equal and inclusive environment and continue to support the medical professionals who are saying rnasks are best for kids.

I will not be able to look my children in the eyes and tell them we did everything we could to end this crisis if we allow political preferences to interfere with professional medical guidance. The experts agree that masks work and are not harmful to our kids. The attitudes of the parents who choose political drama vs. safety and health are what makes some kids bothered by masks. Typically they don't mind. Let's keep our community safe by keeping a mask mandate in place.

I do not support mask mandates and I believe it is against the law to require such measures. I support Parental rights and choice. Please understand that we love our children and we are doing ourjobs at home to keep them healthy. Our child has contact dermatitis from mask wearing, he is only four years old and we have support from our son's Pediatrician and the ENT within the last week urging him NOT to be masked as the problem will not heal but it will persist. I don't know what the psychological impacts will be and i don't think anyone does and that terrifies me. Please do the right thing and allow us to choose what is right for each child, as the risk of covid 19 infection in children does not substantiate this type of medical device being mandated for all. Thank you for your time.

Last year we did virtual learning. We sacrificed for others and stayed home so the children who didn't have the option could go to school safely. It was not an easyyear. Clarkston Community Schools did an awfuljob of keeping the kids connected to their school. Our wonderful mentors were the only ones who were doing their best to keep kids connected and that was just in the virtual classes. My children wanted to go back to school this year in person. I supported them in doing so, cautiously. I wrote many emails and made many calls trying to mandate masks in schools. My kids deserve an education that every kid gets, they also deserve to go to school safe. The first day of school in my son's class the teachers gathered all 50+ fifth graders in the same room. When I found that out I called the principal of our school. He told me there was a miscommunication and there was no way that should have occurred. The very next day we got a letter home stating that there was a positive covid case in the classroom. Can you imagine if the children didn't have masks on? The Delta variant has proven to be more contagious and schools are not being as cautious as they were last year. It is extremely irresponsible to not have a mask on children in school, especially those twelve and under. My children have no complaints about wearing a mask in school a lot of other children don't mind either. They know it is the only way school is going to continue in person. It is not the children who have a problem with the masks, it is the ignorant parents who don't view this pandemic as the real deal. These are the parents who care more about THEIR child and not what is best for ALL of the children. If you take away a mask mandate, you are failing our kids. All deserve a fair education. We need to work together for their future. Masks are an unfortunate necessity and my kids want to wear them if it means going to school in person. Thank you, Rhiannon Rigg Mask order please read!

I fully support the OCHD order mandating masks in schools as an additional precaution for kids, teachers, staff and the whole community against the pandemic. We, as a community, have to do what is safe. I understand and acknowledge that wearing masks is uncomfortable and inconvenient, but so are many other things that safeguard our health and safety. Our individual rights are not more important than the whole community's well being. My kids were in virtual school last year and that was hard on them emotionally. Social interaction is something that kids need. By mandating everyone in schools to wear a mask my children are being able to attend school this year. I am extremely disappointed to see that my own commissioner is using the health of my kids to promote his political ideas and further his political agenda. With the mask mandate being followed and taking all precauciones at one of my kids school there are already 8 covid positive cases. If masks are not mandated for everyone it wouldn't be just 8 cases but many many more. My kids are better off attending school in person so if wearing masks is one of the things needed to make it possible we would do that. Not only for them but also for all the other kids that my be at risk but have the right to attend school in person. Do not gamble with our children's lives! I am happy that, no matter certain people's partisant interest, the extra measure to keep people in Oakland County safe prevailed. Thank you! Thank you to all the commissioners that protected us by voting NO to the proposal!

My name is Laurie Adashek and I am a South Lyon parent and employee of South Lyon Community Schools with two children going back into school for the first time in almost two years. We chose to have them go virtual last year, but it was important for them to be in -person this year as VLP is a nice option, but not the same as learning in -person. I am disappointed that public health and safety has been so politicized. This isn't a conservative or liberal issue- This is a COMMUNITY issue. The fact is, schools will have a mixed community of vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adults in the halls with very little opportunity for social distancing. The counties without mask rules (such as Livingston) are seeing increased COVID cases and quarantines. I don't want to see that happen to Oakland County schools. It seems masks have become a personal freedom issue. I've seen people compare them to child abuse and dictatorships. Don't let the rhetoric influence your decision. Please, let your goal be community safety. At worst, wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience for a few hours. At best, it's keeping our children and community safe. Our population in the elementary building is the youngest most vulnerable population who can not get vaccinated. Let's do something to protect our students AND staff!! Please, for the health and safety of our children and community, keep the emergency mask order in place. Thank you for your time.

Ml 4S341 Re: Board of Commissioners Meeting — Held September 2, 2021 I Regarding Mask Mandate Dear Ms, Brown: I am sending this entail to your attention, as we who attended the Board of Commissioner's Meeting last night were instructed to do, in order to have onr comments added to the record of last nights meeting.'rhank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. Followim, are my comments to he added to the record: I was so disappointed that so many people were made to wait outside before being allowed in to speak I was especially disappointed in the tactics that were used as the meeting time neared -the lawn sprinklers conveniently turned on, ironically only in the area of the lawn where we were all lined up, waiting to enter the building. Also, reducing the number of attendees allowed to access the auditorium was another attempt at suppressing our ability to have our voices heard. Nonetheless, none of those ractic� deterred anyone. though; soaking wet or not, we all stayed and patiently and respectfidly waited our turn to enter the building in order to be granted tine to speak at the meeting. While waiting, we learned that the Board of C ommissioners voted on the mask mandate BEFORE any citizen testmiony was given; and the vote was, umurprisunTly, right down party lines. All the democratic Conunissioners Doted "no'; all the others voted "ves" What exactly is the purpose of having citizen testimony, if the vote is taken before any of us ate given the opportunity to speak" And to add insult to injury, some of the Commissioners without regard for opposition voices yet still community members, decided to leave the meeting, without listening to any of its. One of the Commissioners, Gwca Markham, even stated (paraphrasing) "I don't have to listen to this,' and walked out. Another Commissioner, Janet Jackson, was observed talking, not listening, during much of the testimony. And Commissioner Cavelle thought it more important to hand out cookies to the Commissioners, rather than having them all focused and listening to what their constituents were saying. And, finally, it appeared that two other Coum»ssious were acurally sleeping, rather than participating and listening to what was being said. The Commissioners who showed this utter lack or respect fin those of us who patiently waited should be ashamed of themselves. This matter is about the health and satiety arour children 'There were plenty orknowledgeuhle, credenualed, licensed professionals who gate testimony about the absolute danger and harm thatis done to children who are forced to wen a mast.. By observation, norm of that testimony was given any consideration by the Commissioners. I am ashamed to be an Oakland County resident after what 1 ohsened last night. I am disgusted. I will continue to tight for their safety and good health, despite the corrupt, illegitimate, and frankly illegal mask mandate this Board of Commissioners has cruelly voted to continue.

Pearson, RN, of Commerce Twp, fully support Commissioner Kochenderfera's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division and support it moving forward immediately. I am a retired RN and am horrified by the politicization of cov,019. We should follow the science, which has various studies and experts on both sides of this emotional and politicized issue - mandatory masks, as well as mandatory vaccinations. If you want a link to any of those numerous reputable experts on the non - mandate side, I will gladly share them with you. Making mask mandates is abusive to our health. We individuals need autonomy for our holistic health, which consists not only of our physical well-being, but also mental and emotional wellbeing. The State and County Health Dept has taken that autonomy away from parents and adults. The State and County Health Dept is abusing and harming its residents by these controlling mandates. Educate, do not coerce any individual to your beliefs of best health practices. As a practicing RN I would have been fired for such a transgression, forcing my health beliefs of best practice medical intervention onto any patient! Informed consent used to be mandated and supported by our employer and state laws. What has happened to such individual rights of the patient or individual? Allow us control over our own bodies and over our children's bodies, as our laws and health facilities once mandated, or should mandate.

We have vulnerable students, unvaccinated kids, and family members counting on us. K-6 kids will not be fully vaccinated until mid -February, most likely. Local infectious disease doctors and other specialists agree that the best way to avoid a massive spread that will weigh heavily on our health care system is to wear a mask. Our pediatrician and principal both reported they did not get sick once last year. Masks work. It's a layer of imperfect protection, when paired up with vaccinations and distancing, will make a significant difference according to the AAP, MDHHS, and the CDC. Schools cannot be counted on or bear the burden of making mask mandates. It's too controversial. Schools do everything- feed, provide services, educate, and advocate for our kids. The OCHD must keep this mandate alive. Stop making this political and start consulting infectious disease doctors and front line medical workers. Thank you!

Thank you, Scott Douglass C 248-721-1002 Sent from my Whone Official Entry for Commissioner's Meeting on 9.2.21 Dawn Presby-Virdee <dawnpresbyvirdee@hotmail.com> hri 1151 =,M To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <clerk@oakgov.com> Commissioners, If what we are fighting for is the value of children's education, how can we send kids to school without a mask mandate, knowing very well schools will shut down due to spread of Covid? People want to forgo safety in favor of normalcy. There is nothing normal about going from in person to virtual every couple of weeks. There is nothing normal about preventing children from seeing at risk loved ones outside of school. There is nothing norm about kids attending funerals of their friends, teachers and family members. You have a chance to expedite the return to normal, and that path includes universal masks in schools. Thank you, Dawn Presby, South Lyon Mask mandate michele miller <shellmiller846@icloud.com> F I i 9/3/-`0[ i ' i:51 AI`v7 To: Clerk, Register of Deeds <derk@oakgov.com> I, Mason Whitaker, a resident of Oakland County, fully support Commissioner Kochenderfer's resolution to reverse the mask public order issued by Oakland County Health Division, and seek to move it forward immediately.
