Time to resign
Dear Ms. Bershauer:
It’s time for you to resign and move on from your job as Yamhill County commissioner. It’s very clear you came to Yamhill County to advance your personal political ambitions and recruit clients for your political consulting practice.
We need commissioners who view the job as a service to the people of Yamhill County, not just a way to pay back special interest supporters and provide a political stepping stone to bigger and better things.
In your short time here as commissioner, you have ignored the will of the vast majority of residents.

Manila, Philippines & London, United Kingdom & Cambridge, Mass., United States:
Safeguard DNA Diagnostics Inc, SDDI, one of the largest chains of infectious disease laboratories in the Philippines, has introduced COVID sample collection using the Rhinosticsᵗᵐ dry nasal and nasopharyngeal collection swabs. The dry swabs are being introduced at its facilities in Metro Manila, Davao and Negros Occidental. In addition, SDDI will act as the exclusive distributor of Rhinostics in the Philippines.
Rhinostics innovative dry collection swabs offer comfortable nasal or nasoharyngeal collection, dry shipment, and sample concentration for better assay performance. No viral transport media required

It’s safe to say that few people gave much thought to nasal swab design and manufacture until COVID-19 came to town. As we lined up for tests, though, suddenly everyone had an opinion about the long-stemmed scrapers. There were questions about efficacy, and discomfort was a common complaint. Oh, and there were worries that a shortage of swabs might be on the horizon. A couple of recent innovations have helped to allay those concerns.
