Yes I do have many stories, but all the sightings are linked to one individual. This local individual has been seen many times with his shirt off and that is when the stories in the paper/radio appear. He is not Bigfoot, just hairy. There is usually a disclaimer on the radio whenever sightings occur.
I saw the guy who is “Bigfoot” a few months ago and he is now going bald. Bigfoot will now blind you. The legend continues.

What if someone has a surgery and happens to contract Covid? I do not think that there is any liability insurance for this situation.

Inslee’s ban on elective surgery. The article is from the Spokesmen Review out of Spokane, so just take it with a grain of salt, many of us call it the “Socialist Review” for many reasons.
Most of these hospitals on the east-side are level 4 or 5, the lowest trauma care levels. They are there to stabilize you for transport. If it is something serious, like a heart attack or cancer, you will have to get a helicopter (we call it Life-Flight) over to Spokane or Bellevue.

On the lighter side- I have been to Garfield County and there are more livestock than there are people. You do not have to worry about six foot distancing there, try six mile distancing, that is their spacing!
