Everything about coronavirus has been politicized, When Donald Trump was in office Joe Biden and Kamala Harris said they would not take it they didn't trust it now that they've got the gavel in their hand they want everybody to trust them kiss my ass

Dec. 24. 2021 -- The first confirmed death from the Omicron variant in the U.S. was a reinfection. Harris County health officials also said he faced a higher risk for severe complications because of underlying health conditions and being unvaccinated. Most new cases are the mild Omicron variant.

Just do the right thing, every person, every time.

Lisa Gore

The right thing is the freedom to choose tho. Constitutional rights are important.

My son has already had Covid...and had NO symptoms at all. We, his parents, have also already had Covid. I think we're subjecting kids to psychological abuse that's going to live with them forever if we keep this fear porn up. And we have the abusive media to thank for that.

The kids need to be in school. The government has hurt the kids enough.

Will Mason

The current policy makes no sense. Any change has to be an improvement.

Courtney Lucas

My son has been sick nonstop with bacterial infections being caused by that mask according to his 3 drs. Now we can get him healthy and heal his immune system.

Max

I hope your son gets better. My doctor did not recommend the booster for me. The children do not deserve the abuse, that the masks provide.

Lisa Gore

Freedom...and common sense.

I feel it is making it dangerous for all concerned. There will be little protection against COVID-19.

Charles Schoene

The Board simply caved in to an authoritarian Attorney General running for Senate on a pure Trumpian philosophy. Eric Schmitt's baseless "order" just made it more comfortable for the Board to throw in the towel. It puts the students and teachers at great risk.

So much for better safe than sorry

Asymptomatic will continue to spread covid
