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!

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!

We already have a military presence in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally. Trump should NOT be threatening the European balance or the time-tested established order. This has ramifications far beyond Trump's ego.

US should not invade other countries. Never Greenland or Venezuela. This is Trump enriching himself. Dangerous and destroying US reputation on human rights.

We have existing agreements with Greenland and Denmark regarding military bases. We should expand on that, rather than threaten to take the entire country by force 'if necessary'
