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

Max

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.

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
