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!

Hopefully, but not overly confident. Unlike Missouri, Auburn has played three top 20 teams, and although they lost, they fought hard. Auburn is no pushover, plus it will be in their barn.

I would give MU the edge. It won't be easy. No matter what happens, the Tigers will win.

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

They control the Presidency, Senate and House, and are holding up a budget that would increase healthcare premiums three-fold for millions of Americans to give the rich tax write-offs. This is all Republican.
