We absolutely have to break the cycle of this thing mutating over and over, because it WILL become a much deadlier variety soon enough, if we don't. A mask over our faces, as well as better handwashing, avoiding touching our faces, social distancing, and staying home when sick, will do that! DO IT!

This disease is real. It has long term side effects that can be debilitating. We need to do everything we can to keep kids safe and in school.

95% of new cases are Omicron, and only one death has been reported from the Omicron virus, and that was a person from Houston on December 24, 2021, who had serious underlying issues.

Mandates need to end. If you want your child to wear a mask, that's your choice. We need to start living life and quit having the government and especially the school board inducing fear. That is how they are going to control the society is by fear. Live life to it's fullest, not in fear.

mask done do anything, only N95 mask work. which they only work for 2 hours most, and you wouldn’t have much fun having to change your mask every 2 hours. the cdc had said that. and not everyone’s kid wants to wear a mask, you can have ur kid wear a mask but don’t make kids who don’t want to do so.

Studies show they done work. And it is unconstitutional by the MO & Fed Constitution to force citizens, including kids, into a health care system without their consent. This also means without parental consent. No science doesn’t support them. Hope Eric Schmitt is watching.

Masks are both ineffective at reducing spread of covid and also impair interpersonal relationships.

Masks are foolish and won't work, they increase your chances of illness, they are nasty. A bacteria laden petri dish on your face!

The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......

We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.

If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
