The hospitals are filling up their beds at a rapid pace, but it may not be a result of more illnesses in Western New York.
The opposition to the County-wide mask mandate put into place by County Executive Mark Poloncarz about on November 23rd has created mixed feelings among town governments, private businesses, and individuals across Western New York.
Gary Dickson says Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz's recent emergency order regarding masks does not address the root cause of the hospital problem.
Dickson said the COVID response plan needs to recognize "that COVID will be with us for a long time, that hospital capacity needs to increase immediately, and that mask and vaccine mandates are counterproductive and abusive of residents’ rights."
One Western New York town says it will not comply with Erie County mask mandate.
