Case rates are declining fast in Columbia Public Schools. On Monday, a case rate tracked by the district was at less than a third of the level on Jan. 19.

Doctors and medical experts have stated that there is NO data that shows an increase in COVID-19 cases and in school learning, those are FACTS! We can all fall victim to fear mongering but these kids need to be in school. They are the ones that are going to be the next generation doctors and nurses.

New cases are still being reported every day and the coronavirus remains deadly. Many people argue schools shouldn't be open until students and teachers are vaccinated.

Again they do not have the equipment they need to do so and keep everyone safe. Staff, Students, School Workers

Teachers should be vaccinated before this happens.

Sarah Norton

We need more vaccine rollout in the community. Getting close but it's still too early. Maybe April or just wait until next fall.

What the do on their soil, is their business, but once their drugs are out on boats in the big beautiful Gulf of America, blow them out of the water.

We're not the world's police and we executed those people in cold blood. If Venezuela wants to kill its citizens without proof and without a trial, then leave the US out of it.

Venezuela is helping the companies that make Narcan.

I think if it were Obama, nothing would be said about it. I think just because it’s President Trump there is the hate that some have for him. Not this much controversy when all the other changes were done by other presidents. None of this is costing taxpayers as it has in the past.

Fred

Please provide an example of such an expansive change ... this ballroom is likely to turn out to be larger than the White House itself! I don't doubt we'll see a TRUMP sign on it before it is finished!

Max

Trump is improving the White House, and he is using private funding to do that.

Fred

Right ... "private funding" in exchange for pardons and other favors. The more accurate description is BRIBES.

Kenneth Young

Separation of the rich and poor is getting wider. I was never invited to watch a movie in the movie room just like I'll never be invited to any dances.....I think we'd be better off if they tore down the west wing

STOP THIS MANIAC!!!

Kelly Branstetter

It's history, it's respect and honor, the ballroom was never approved and the drawings show it overshadowing the White House itself. Awful
