@ErieNewsNow Can someone tell him it needn’t use the Amber Alert alarm, please?? The pandemic isn’t going anywhere in the next few hours, I don’t need to know about it immediately while I’m trying to nap.

@ErieNewsNow Yes I did. And I found that setting on my phone and I’ve turned it off. Scared the ever living shit out of someone over COV ID. Absolutely not.

@ErieNewsNow I realize this is important BUT, We get this message every day. Please reserve this system for things that require quick action. If you Cry Wolf to many times no one will listen. (No pun intended)

@ErieNewsNow Yes I did. And promptly looked up how to turn off those alerts. Completely useless. It’s not like the virus just popped up that second. It’s a misuse of the system and I hope I don’t miss an important one because out state wants to spam us with existing information.
