Some people had been going unmasked outdoors long before the CDC's new guidance.

Why would anyone wear a mask outdoors?

Belinda Kitchen

I think if the order has been lifted then the places should ease up on people not wearing a mask in their business. If the President is trying to reopen the country and we are slowly getting back on our feet then we should have our right if we want still wear a mask or not !!!!!!

Christopher Watson

cause I don't get around a lot of people, EVER. So I don't see the sence in it.

Max

Some people wear a mask when they shower. LOL

Missy Marlett

Ready to get back to normal and the masks really congest me having had 2 sinus surgeries and ending up with MRSA in my sinus cavity after the first one. Wearing a mask has been tough for me!

Max

Some people think you should embrace breathing hot oxygen depleted air. Not I. Hope your health improves.

Robin McKee

Harry Edwards

Kim McAtee

Pierson McAtee

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.

Jessica Orsini

We've more than enough incarceration in this county, state, and nation, and it's frankly not helping.

Max

The high crime problem is because the courts fail to punish the offenders hard enough to deter crime.

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.
