Just because Gov Parson said MO is done does not mean that MO is done. My friend just died on Jan 28, 2002 of Covid. It is not over yet.

Still a 0.02% death rate for humans that means 99.98% chance of living unless you get a vexine and then life expectancy is going down for certain cohorts. The vexines are more dangerous than Covid.

Max DeYoung

The American Institute of Stress reports 120,000 people die every year as a direct result of work-related stress. And this is only work related stress. Financial stress is the leading cause of stress. Don't worry and live longer.

Max DeYoung

According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. My doctor says don't worry about everything and you will live longer and be happier.

New infections still remain relatively low and few people are taking precautions such as wearing masks.

What is “coronavirus?”

Lisa Gore

0.02% chance of dying from CV-19. While there are risks, the whole fear porn was dying of Covid. Even regular flu DR is lower than the main stream media says. side effects from the vaccines are worse than Covid side effects. Altering DNA #1 among them. Noone needs Covid/Flu vaxs not effective/unsafe

Debra Riffle

We did all the things we were told to do before, and it didn't stop Covid. Masks didn't help. Keeping kids out of school and closing down churches, etc., didn't help. Covid will be with us. We need to learn to live with it.

I bought a pound of ground chuck and a case of beer yesterday, at a large supermarket. Because of the large number of other patrons, it was considered a Covid related incident. However I survived, but the ground chuck went down.

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

Max

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

This leadership needs to resign.

Max

You are using the word leadership carelessly.

Harry D

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

Max

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.

Jessica Orsini

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

Max

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

Davon Argo

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.

Madison Haleigh

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

Max

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

Harry D

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

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

Harry D

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
