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.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
