Boulder County Public Health

Last night at 2 am I found a bat in my toilet. I closed the lid and this morning called Boulder County Animal Control, which was on the spot by 7:30 a.m. They captured the bat, took it to Boulder County Health, which called me before 9 a.m. to advise me it is being sent out for testing and I should have results back by Monday, in time to get treatment if warranted. The person who called me was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. Hats off to BCH - I’m impressed!

They are so grossly out-of-touch with the community it's pathetic. Still holding remote sessions to avoid the public from attending and quickly running out of reasons why they can't meet their constituents in-person. Pathetic! From their ill-guided mandates throughout the COVID pandemic including masking, lockdowns, promoting vaccination amongst every age group irrespective of risk and never once promoting good health as a preventative measure - this group is bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical companies. Hey BCPH, quit hiding and start interacting. You vilified people who didn't want to take your junky vaccine and intentionally ignored "natural immunity." Do better because the community will not tolerate your misinformed position any longer!!

They need to take their leadership role more seriously by providing accurate and timely updates and a standardized message. The department does not give the appearance of understanding that the public looks to them for as objectively accurate guidance as possible. When the Board rescinded the mandate, the department didn't provide any updated guidance. The COVID Current Status website continued to state that masks are strongly recommended with a big red "High" indicator, while these public servant's partners in public education jettisoned their masks. There seemed to be no leadership or coordination at the county level. When the CDC released a new formula for determining risk to the public based on additional metrics, including hospital beds filled by COVID patients, the department co

We understand that the purpose of government is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of of the people...but it has to be within reason. Given our "gold standard" vaccination rates in Boulder County, including 95% of CU Boulder students, community transmission of covid is very low - contextually speaking. Few are getting very sick around here...and for that reason the ongoing mask mandate is arbitrary and clearly just for political cover; at the expense of the health, safety and welfare of the community by all other measures.

If you need a birth certificate for your child, avoid this location. Save yourself time and trouble by going to the Longmont office where they are actually open during business hours, accept walk-ins and pick up the phone.
