Constitutional rights apply to all US citizens not just the elite. Freedom is a basic right and parents also have their parental rights to make decisions for their minor children. CPS BM’s don’t have any legislative rights making any decision that restrict unalienable rights. TYVM.

The virus is not under control due to misinformation regarding vaccinations and masking. They scream, "my body my rights". Well, I have rights too! One of them is to not become infected.

Coronavirus cases have risen statewide among younger children who are not yet old enough to get the vaccine. The rise coincides with the start of classes.

I'm always worried about viruses of all kinds infecting school aged kids. Schools are like Petrie dishes when it comes to flu, colds, etc. Enrolling our teen into online school is one of the best things we have done. Also so our teen doesn't have to worry about wearing a mask.

However, children's cases are still outnumbered by adult cases, as are child deaths.

By still hiding at home and away from everyone.

Mask, staying out of crowds, hand sanitizer. I'm fully vaccinated but I'm elderly & have Parkinson's. Better safe than sorry.

Many Americans are not wearing masks or taking other precautions, despite the elevated numbers of cases and deaths seen this summer.

Only when required. I do avoid businesses that require them or proof of a negative test/vaccine. Far to close to what the Germans did prior to WWII

Belinda Kitchen

Nope , cause the mask don't do their job . And basically the Democrats are trying to be like Hitler and telling us how to live , what to do . What about land of the free and home of the brave in out national anthem? Don't seem like that's what we are doing now .

Debra Riffle

life is to be lived, not feared. We need to get on with it.

Niki Goldenstein

Never have changed anything in our routine. If I'm gonna get it I'm gonna get it just like anything else. I refuse to live in fear!!! I choose to trust in God, he will call me home when it is my time!!!
