Persons who have not been vaccinated and have one on one contact with residents move about freely. Last Sat. I had a visit scheduled with my sister. 45 minutes before our scheduled visit my niece received call that we could not come because a staff member tested positive. Another 14 day quarantine

Many people who have had the vaccine also get the Covid. Do some research and get some knowledge before judging others. You are embarrassing yourself.

They have to have a flu shot! This is a viral respiratory disease worse than the flu.

Vaccination rates in some places remain low. Only 48% of Missouri's nursing home employees are vaccinated -- the nation's third-lowest rate.

We live in America where we are Free to make a choice. Remember, “My Body, My Choice?” Employers who force it will end up losing customers and not enough employees to do the work, forcing them out of business. Good Riddance! Tyranny has to Stop!

Max

Although I believe it is the best choice for most people, some people can not get the vaccine, for numerous health reasons. It is also Un Constitutional to force this on people. But Joe is also Un Constitutional, and Un American.

FYI, Did you know: American citizens do not have to listen to the President. Citizens do not have to listen so government. The people, in and of themselves, are the government.

Putting your family members in a nursing home tells me a lot about you.

This is the actual correct answer.

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

Steve Baumann

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.

Max

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

Max

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

Max

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

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.

Toasty

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.

Homelessness is a direct attack on capitalism. Crime is a direct attack on capitalism. Barbara is a communist. This is the plan.
