Garfield County Democratic Party
Despite the recent surges in Covid cases sweeping Garfield County, the commissioners continue to dismiss the advice of health science experts and downplay the threat of the virus. They talk about saving our economy, yet their one and only strategy is to allow businesses to stay open as much as possible.
We urge our commissioners to take a different approach: acknowledge the severity of our public health situation; heed the advice of medical science about slowing the spread; commit county funds toward helping our businesses and employees; and work collaboratively with municipal governments and other local entities to seek additional solutions.
COVID-19 vaccine not a reason to relax restrictions, officials say

The first batch of coronavirus vaccines has arrived in the Roaring Fork Valley, heralded by many as the beginning of an end to the global pandemic that has infected thousands in the area, and created nearly a year of frustration and hardship for local businesses and their employees.
Healthcare workers at Aspen Valley Hospital and Valley View Hospital received doses of the hotly-anticipated Pfizer vaccine this week. A multi-phase plan from the state puts healthcare workers working directly with COVID-19 patients and workers at long-term care facilities at the front of the line to receive vaccines.
