My grandson, his wife and 4 and 2 year olds have it now and are very sick. I think precautions should be taken seriously again.

Biden is currently "Contagious", but he doesn't wear a mask. I wonder why?

lois tyler

Too many unvaccinated people, if we are ever going to get rid of this virus everyone that can be,should be vaccinated. this virus will continue to mutate and infect. We have been told by medical experts, the only way to eradicate the virus is for everyone to be vaccinated,

Max DeYoung

How many times has Biden been vaccinated? Why does he have Covid? Is it because it does not work?

I can't think of any 'fact' that has been told to us by the so called experts, that hasn't mutated more frequently than the virus itself. People are just wanting to get on with their lives. We know the risks.

Max DeYoung

Left-wing fear campaign.

Lisa E Gore

Because this means it’s endemic!!!!!!! The more you test the more will be positive under an Endemic status! Hence the hype is falsely based on natural happenings. Death rate from Covid is 0.02% no reason to get freaked out, never has been. Stop the fear mongering!

What is COVID?

Christopher Watson

Old news now, we either survive it or we don't!

Max DeYoung

No but, “I thought growing older would take longer.” My bucket list: "Keep breathing.”

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

Max

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

This leadership needs to resign.

Max

You are using the word leadership carelessly.

Harry D

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

Max

The comment that I made indicating a total average cost, does not account for inflationary changes, which will probably more than double my $3920 estimate.

Davon Argo

The need for a new jail isn’t new. County leaders have known for years it needed attention. Maybe the sheriff should’ve prioritized a jail before a multi-million dollar training facility. His budget priorities is his attempt at railroading the city’s public safety staffing and infrastructure needs.

Madison Haleigh

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

Max

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Harry D

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

Harry D

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
