Letter: Thank you county leaders for sending letter to Governor 

To the editor, 

–Thank you Assembly Member Cunningham, John Peschong, Debbie Arnold, Caren Ray Russom, Heather Moreno, Jeff Lee, Steve Martin, Ed Waage, and John Headding for contributing to the letter sent to Governor Newsom on behalf of a “science-based, phased reopening of the local economy.”

San Luis Obispo County has done a commendable job of flattening our curve and now we need to apply equal effort into jumpstarting local businesses. The majority of them have been hard-hit during this lockdown and can only tread water for so long before they drown. The unintended but all too real consequences of mandated unemployment are of equal relevance to public health as the constantly shifting projection models of Covid-19 related fatalities.
Rising unemployment causes higher death rates, Yale researcher shows. https://news.yale.edu/2002/05/23/rising-unemployment-causes- higher-death-rates-new-study-yale-researcher-shows.

Sincerely,
Travis Semmes
Local business owner
