I would like to see it return. The same selfish people will thumb their noses at public health. Our shared beliefs of compassion, empathy and community are being replaced by the idea of me and I. How does one believe they are more important than everyone else's life. Thank God I don't underst that.

We can work together to beat COVID by masking until we reach 80% vaccination

What if we never reach it? What's the end game? People who aren't vaccinated now are probably never going to get vaccinated.

Low vaccination rates, high Delta variant spread.

But masks were literally the only incentive to get vaccinated. Unvaccinated people will for sure not get it now. Why would they.

If we ever want to get rid of this ugly virus we have to get vaccinated and wear our masks until it is gone!!!

If masks get reinstated we will wear them forever unvaccinated people don't want to get vaccinated. Even if the mandate gets reinstated they still won't wear masks. It will literally only be people who are vaccinated.

You can ask this question in another way. "Do you want the covid illness to continue to spread unchecked, causing severe illness and death to some in your community?"

cases are up. What we aren't told is how many of these are asymptomatic, how many with very mild symptoms, and importantly, how many of these were fully vaccinated. No one is talking about new deaths in Columbia and County, because there haven't been any recent ones here.

The masking mandates are a joke, remember the walking into a restaurant wearing it but once your seated you can take it off? Where are all these dying covid people? No we don't need any more goofy mandates that requires a bacteria laden petri dish covering our faces and restricting our oxygen. No th

Surgeons wear masks so they won't get Gall stones. Ya right.

Wow really makes you wonder how all of those surgeons manage to keep themselves healthy while masked up?

Masks are good for people who are afraid of the dark. Masks are of no value to healthy and sane people. If you feel you need a mask, please wear one, or two.

It's too hot for one thing, and it lowers O2 intake.

The Government has done enough damage with mandates. Leave us along so we can resume a life without the Government tells us every move we can make. If you want to wear a mask, go ahead. it wont bother me, but don't try to violate my life with mandates that affect my life. America is about Freedom.

I already got vaccinated so I shouldn't have to keep being forced to be uncomfortable every time I leave my house.

They did nothing to stop the spread the first time. They're unnecessary. Just get vaccinated and stop living in fear.

If people can't be bothered to get vaccinated, why should I have to wear a mask to protect THEM?

I imagine it's a function of media. Virtually all the media is controlled by the likes of blackrock and this is reflected in their coverage of Trump and in the opinions of their viewers. He's trying to oust the corporate predators and saboteurs which have nearly brought this country to its knees.

He is a BIG BULLY I Have NEVER seen so many African American people afraid for their lives. They are not allowed to celebrate being black but bragged about getting their vote. Plus he makes fun of any one including Kamala Harris...she was made into a Mung Beetle-which originated in Africa!!

He has taken a wrecking ball to America. He has kept NO promises about lowering grocery prices, inflation, drug prices, etc. He needs to quit blaming others for his failures and take responsibility like an adult, if that's possible for him. Worst President ever in my opinion.

Absolutely. Recycling is good, even if it's being thrown away. Decisions like this, is what has made Columbia what it is today.

A local municipality should not hold a monopoly over its citizens. Imagine how many new businesses would start up if trash services were privatized?

Waste of time & truck fuel to send 2 different trucks every couple weeks when it’s all going to the same place! Just pick up all of it every week with 1 truck. Also, residents want to know exactly which types of our previously recycled materials actually were going into the landfill anyway?
