It's too rapid and the kids are bringing it home from schools and infecting their whole household.

If they are not going to implement strategies like masking, distancing and quarantine, then yes. Children are getting omicron and for most it's mild but they are bringing home to parents/caregivers/siblings which brings us back to hospitalizations/deaths.

None of the measures you mentioned have worked and kids have a 99.98% recovery rate, strong immune systems. Stop degrading our future leaders and Americans with muzzles!! It’s slowing their learning & development!

2 + 2 = 5, 3 + 3 = 4. Both were clearly false but not according to the Rules of Logic. Assuming, older ideas are better implies that it is true, we are social creatures by nature and cannot live in isolation. That is my opinion, I could be wrong. People infer, statements imply.

So far Omicron has only claimed one victim. That was Dec 24,2021 in Houston, by a man with underlying conditions. It's time to quit listening to our failed leadership, and move on with life.

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

You are using the word leadership carelessly.

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

The comment that I made indicating a total average cost, does not account for inflationary changes, which will probably more than double my $3920 estimate.

We've more than enough incarceration in this county, state, and nation, and it's frankly not helping.

The high crime problem is because the courts fail to punish the offenders hard enough to deter crime.

The need for a new jail isn’t new. County leaders have known for years it needed attention. Maybe the sheriff should’ve prioritized a jail before a multi-million dollar training facility. His budget priorities is his attempt at railroading the city’s public safety staffing and infrastructure needs.

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.
