"So, we really wanted to come up with a proactive campaign. That's why we have that idea of "Let's get ahead of the curve." We hear a lot about flattening it, but let's get ahead of it since we have a chance to do that in Montana," says Miller.
"We have this group of individuals that have collected together to say 'how can we help our community?' Some see it as overcautious but I would much rather air on the side of, we get out of this and go like 'man, we did way too much!' than the opposite, right?" says Jason O'Neil, co-founder of the Small Businesses of Helena Facebook group.
