COVID-19

Marshall County commissioners on Friday opted out of the governor’s mask order, instead issuing a resolution strongly encouraging the public to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Some locations and organizations in Marshall County are selling or giving away masks:
Sports
Marysville split with visiting Sabetha in Tuesday's doubleheader.
While it is games as usual at Lakeview Sports Complex and Feldhausen Field, social distancing is the top concern at Marysville Junior-Senior High.
Physical therapy three times a week and weights in the morning have helped Marysville High School senior Linda Franco in recovering from a severe knee injury.
Editorials
At Friday’s Marshall County commissioners meeting, the board agreed to leave it up to the public to wear masks. On Monday, they weren’t willing to allow the public without masks into the county’s courthouse.
In many other countries where masks are widely used or required, the COVID-19 infection rate has significantly dropped. Meanwhile in America, where masks have not been mandatory, we are reaching record rates of COVID-19 spread.
A mere 75 miles north of Marshall County more than 254 cases of coronavirus have surfaced in testing in and around Lincoln, Neb., in the past two weeks.

Opinion
The subject of the masks we wear used to be just an abstract discussion considered by poets and philosophers. Recently, though, it has become a very concrete, current issue on the minds of many. And, as with most topics these days, it has turned into a controversial political theme.
The Advocate last week contained the life story of Melba Coffee on its obituary page. While I never knew her, I can see that she was quite a remarkable lady with many achievements during her life. Among them were secretary of the United Methodist Church in Frankfort and deputy county clerk i…
