Are you happy with the extension of COVID-19 health orders in Columbia and Boone County?
Yes. Cases are too high to let up now.
No. We've been under orders long enough.
No evidence its working. Why doesn't Wal-Mart close at 10:30? Don't see anyone enforcing the regs anyway.

As a business owner affected by this, I fail to see how anyone thinks these restrictions helpful. Hospitality workers are floundering just above destruction to make you feel safe and yet our infection rate is the same as the open states. You’re stealing our lives for the feeling of safety.

I don't think it's right to decide which businesses or gatherings are limited by hours allowed to operate, or number of people allowed to congregate. Corona virus doesn't wait until 10 pm to come out. Why should churches be limited to numbers, as long as they are following the guidelines?

There is no evidence the orders have done anything so far. There is no reason to believe they are helping. But plenty if evidence that the restrictions are causing harm. They are irrational restrictions.
