Why do we have to go to the hamburger, and select news, then go to the question of the day, to find the question of the day? Why is it no longer on the main display? Something funny going on in my opinion.

On-line indoctrination is less effective.

We absolutely have to break the cycle of this thing mutating over and over, because it WILL become a much deadlier variety soon enough, if we don't. A mask over our faces, as well as better handwashing, avoiding touching our faces, social distancing, and staying home when sick, will do that! DO IT!

This disease is real. It has long term side effects that can be debilitating. We need to do everything we can to keep kids safe and in school.

95% of new cases are Omicron, and only one death has been reported from the Omicron virus, and that was a person from Houston on December 24, 2021, who had serious underlying issues.

Mandates need to end. If you want your child to wear a mask, that's your choice. We need to start living life and quit having the government and especially the school board inducing fear. That is how they are going to control the society is by fear. Live life to it's fullest, not in fear.

mask done do anything, only N95 mask work. which they only work for 2 hours most, and you wouldn’t have much fun having to change your mask every 2 hours. the cdc had said that. and not everyone’s kid wants to wear a mask, you can have ur kid wear a mask but don’t make kids who don’t want to do so.

Studies show they done work. And it is unconstitutional by the MO & Fed Constitution to force citizens, including kids, into a health care system without their consent. This also means without parental consent. No science doesn’t support them. Hope Eric Schmitt is watching.

Masks are both ineffective at reducing spread of covid and also impair interpersonal relationships.

Masks are foolish and won't work, they increase your chances of illness, they are nasty. A bacteria laden petri dish on your face!

Law enforcement needs to investigate all of these threats on social media. If the threat turns out to be not credible then serious fines need to be imposed. These kinds of threats are not a joking matter these days

It happens all too often these days to just completely dismiss it. I held my girls back in Ashland until I spoke to the school regarding rumors that had been circulating here. They went in just a bit late, bit we're still a bit on edge.

Social Media, manipulates those with small minds. So does CNN, and other MSM.

Tik Talk needs to be shut down. They are encouraging young people to commit violet crime and destroy public properties.
