Health agencies have labeled the new omicron coronavirus variant a "variant of concern" and are watching to see if this heavily mutated strain is more easily spread.

Whether omicron will be worse than the dominant delta variant remains to be seen.

I voted no, because the doc in South Africa said it was mild...and nobody has died of Omicron. So the media is just being assholes again with their scare porn. It'd be nice if instead of being maliciously irresponsible trash, the ppl going to J school could actually be rational & sane again.

Because Chicken little has been claiming that the sky is falling for the last 1.5 years.

The Border Patrol recorded nearly 1.7 million apprehensions last year, eclipsing the record set in 2000. None of these are vaccinated, and many are allowed to stay, after being sent all over the USA. Why would I be concerned. Biden appears to know how serious this is, and he doesn't care.

Kevin Blount

I'm fully vaccinated, so I'm less concerned that unvaccinated should be. COVID can be fatal. Please get the shot, even just one is helpful to everyone.

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.

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

This leadership needs to resign.

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

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.
