I would like to comment on Sevier County and Corvid 19 Virus.
I have been working closely with the County Judge, Greg Ray, Mayor Jeff Brown, Dr. Lofton, and the health unit.

We as a group meet each week and look at the status of our county.
Believe me when I tell you these people have your best Interest at heart.

We as a county have worked disasters before. But this is something very new to us all. With the help of all we will prevail.

I am so impressed with how our county has come together to help. I'm am not surprised..
. this is what Sevier County has always done.

I want to thank all the businesses for coming together. I know this is hard times for all.

But I truly believe we will come through this and become a stronger county.

We have everything in place to fight this virus.
We don't have a hospital at this time but we have a group of people that is working very hard to see we have one in the future. We as a county will improvise and beat this virus without a hospital.

Remember to pray for our county and all of our Emergency responders.

God bless The United States of America.
