Boone County MO has defied our Governor who is not mandating masks. Boone County is imposing draconian restrictions on freedoms despite their ineffectiveness in reducing apparent "cases". https://www.como.gov/coronavirus/
Columbia MO is the County seat of Boone County MO. It is home to a City Council and University that want to make the City into "Berkeley". It is also home to a University Hospital that takes patients from all over.
Looking at "cases" in this county they are heavily weighted towards the young despite "COVID" apparently being most dangerous to elderly people. It seems that the elderly here are not becoming "cases" very often but college age people (with nearly 0 risk of death) are massively affected.
I would like to petition Governor Parson to consider shuttering the University here in order to prevent the disease of communism from tanking our economy and way of life. Doubt he would seriously consider it, but I don't want my freedoms rescinded so that a party school can yuck it up while the community around it is destroyed.
