Tell them where the COVID has been

I’d like to know what’s going on here at the Mississippi County Health Department. I know of at least three people in East Prairie, Missouri, got COVID-19, 150% sure. Where’s the health department? Why not nothing put out? Why these stores aren’t putting anything in the window saying they had a worker with COVID, please be careful. Wear a mask. Don’t have to give name, don’t have to give a male or female. But I think people in Mississippi County needs to know. If a store has a worker with COVID-19 I’d like to know that store. I don’t need to know the name of the worker. I don’t want to know if its a he or a she. I think I should be aware so it’s my choice to go back in there at that store. C’mon health department. Get with it.

Caller just doesn’t understand

I don’t understand how parents forget their children and leave them in the car to die. I don’t think they forget. I think they just don’t want to mess with them. If they leave a child in the car and it dies, they should be put in prison for murder. If they don’t care anymore about their children than that they ought to be in jail. That is the most dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. How in the world do you forget your children are in the car?

There is no spraying for mosquitoes

It’s 1 o’clock in the morning and I live off of Smith Street. I’ve waiting every day and watched every day. I’m up to 1 or 2 every morning and there has not been no mosquito sprayer. I don’t care what they are saying. They are not spraying over here and the mosquitoes are bad. We are paying our tax dollars to get mosquito sprayer. I’d like to see them over here. Are ya’ll gonna start spraying over here?

More need to get vaccinated

I think an additional reason some of the job openings are not being filled up fast enough is because women are staying home with their children in the age group that is too young to be vaccinated. We need more adults to get vaccinated so there will be more herd immunity protection for the truly vulnerable.

Please get vaccinated

You reject the COVID vaccination saying it is a violation of your rights. Unvaccinated people get COVID. They spread COVID to others, some of whom are infants and little children too young to be vaccinated. The little ones have to be hospitalized and some die. Protect the tender and innocents. Shots are free. The hospital bills are not. Sign up today. Please.
