Kansas City is at pandemic crossroads as the weather turns colder and political debate ramps up.
Here's context and a glimpse at big picture news across the world:
Independent UK: ‘People have had enough’: Across the world, coronavirus fatigue hits hard just as pandemic spikes again
Accordingly, in a retweet of dire news from STL about rising infections, hospitalizations and deaths, the city hall honcho offers this advice . . .
Mayor Quinton Lucas: "I remain concerned about the rise in infections from #COVID19 in Kansas City and in communities near us in Missouri and Kansas. It's still here and more Missourians are dying now than were in the spring. Fatigue may be real, but protect those around you. "
As we enter cold weather, please wear masks indoors, particularly, if you can't keep your distance; be careful; and if you feel ill, don't ignore it. We're in this together--despite our differences. The way we recover economically is through being healthy."
You decide . . .
Hopefully, we'll have more for the morning update . . . STAY TUNED!!!
Mask up.
ReplyDeleteDon't be a jerk!
Can't really tell on the weekends. Most are out an unmasked!
Delete9:39 How about you mask up if you are so worried about it? Why should I have to mask up for your safety? What if I insisted you not wear cologne, use deodorant soap, shampoo, or anything with a fragrance because it makes me sick? What if I said you can't eat garlic because the smell makes me nauseous? Can I tell smokers not to smoke? I smell smoke anywhere I go. If you don't want your picture taken on a public street, do you have the right to tell me not to take pictures? If you don't want to get sick, wear a mask. If you don't want to get grandma or your sick relative sick with COVID, wear your mask, have them wear a mask, keep yourselves isolated, don't go in public. Those of us not wearing masks will make the decision whether we want to risk getting COVID. I've never worn a mask and I don't plan on it. Too bad for you. How about you hide in your home, you sheep.
ReplyDelete^^^ and THAT is why Trump is going to lose!
DeleteDuring WWII Patriotic Americans willingly rationed food, gas, new cars, thousands of things. 350,000 Americans died in 4 years. In Trump's pandemic 220,000 have died in 8 months but Trump's America hating chuds won't even put a cloth on their smarmy faces.
DeleteThe virus is going to "virus".
ReplyDeleteUntil we send kids back to school and get herd immunity, this shit will go on forever.
It's a hoax.
The path to herd immunity is mass murder you screeching ghoul.
DeleteSacrifice your own children if you want to show everybody how woke you are and how nobody can tell you what to do. This shit will go on forever because of drooling mouth-breathing morons like you.
DeleteMayor Q-Ball is a baldy, I usually wear a bit of fuzz to keep things interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope that 10:26 dies of Covid while shitting the hospital bed.
ReplyDelete10:26, if you don't care about other people's safety, why should I care about YOURS? I will laugh when Trump loses and your mama gets the virus...and it will be frigging hilarious if she dies😂
ReplyDeleteHe'll be laughing too when he gets the keys to mama's house.
DeleteIf it were a real plague would you be fatigued.
ReplyDeleteA real plague doesn't need constant msm shilling and fear mongering.
^^^^And yet the same shit went on in 1918. The same mask argument. In San Francisco people refused to wear masks. There was even a San Francisco anti-mask league. In Philadelphia the mayor decided to hold a parade to welcome losers and suckers, er, I mean soldiers home. No social distancing. Many died as a result of that parade. And I think you'd agree that was a "real plague."
ReplyDelete526 the ave age of death of the 1918 flu was 28, it killed young healthy ppl, not ave age of 80 with 2 or more other comorbidities.

ReplyDeleteThis idiot has bigger issues to take care of he needs to shut up.
Actually, most people have grown very tired of hearing from pompous Lucas lecture about issues that he has no ability to address and are totally fatigued by all the endless "protesting".
ReplyDeleteGet serious about the horrendous homicide rate in KCMO (by doing the OPPOSITE of what the Star recommends), fix the streets, and get the city budget under some semblance of control.
Get off the "celebrity" politico kick, stops calling the New York Times, CNN, and other national outlets who don't even really know where KCMO is, and DO YOUR JOB.
Being a front man for people like Stacy Shaw is embarrassing.
And when Trump wins on Nov. 3, these fucking democrat, communist liberals will move on to another tactic.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Trump on Saturday, so lick my taint, liberal scum.
The Boy Blunder needs to attend to the financial, security, and infrastructure needs of the city. Let people attend to their own health. Nothing he says is a must read unless and until he reforms and becomes a public servant.
ReplyDeleteThis is all Fake News...if Biden wins the media will just stop talking about the virus all the time. Like they have with the riots, because they realized they were hurting the Democrats. You are all being had.
ReplyDeleteIt's not COVID-19 fatigue you moron! It's Q-Ball fatigue! You could fuck up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! You aren't my problem anymore but I am thoroughly enjoying watching you destroy what is left of Kansas Shitty. Carry on! 😏🙄🍿
ReplyDeleteNobody cares, Bumdit
DeleteWith a few exceptions most citizens are wearing masks.
ReplyDeleteHowever there are exceptions:
1. Protesters looting and destroying the Plaza without masks. Mayor Lucas was holding hands and supporting these same protesters.
2. Mayor Quentin Lucas at the Ozarks not wearing a mask and then it seemed to go viral after that.
3. Tent City protesters on the courthouse lawn not wearing masks.
4. Any Communist Democrat protester or screamer is not wearing a mask.
5. Nancy Pelosi not wearing a mask while in public getting her hair done.
6. Joe Biden not wearing a mask when he accepts bribes from Communist China and the Ukraine to make trade deals screwing over the American worker.
7. Hunter Biden not wearing a mask when he is smoking coke cocaine and arranging payoffs for his Dad.
8. Communist Democrat ANTIFA and BLM members when they are beating up elderly Americans.
The list is endless of Communist Democrats telling everyone else what to do but not following their own rules.
That is the whole crux of Communism; the high level government bureaucrats live in luxury, murder and rape their citizens while everyone else lives in poverty working for slave wages.
Fuck the Democrat Party and Fuck Communism.
TRUMP 2020 to save America from Democrat Party Communism.
This stupidity isn't coming out of my pocket anymore. Y'all have fun paying for this k?
ReplyDelete😏🙄🍿
I'm OK with it Baby Burt as long as you're willing to pay for your own stupidity and not be one of Mitt Romney's 47%.
ReplyDelete*weaving addition on basket for additional deplorables* 😏
ReplyDeleteNobody cares, Bumdit
DeleteLuca is a liar and a poor excuse for a Mayor.
ReplyDeleteMayor McDrinkerson's Selfie and Pandering Party!
ReplyDeleteToo bad we need a mayor and not a showboating clown.
And all the panic coming from mayor mcdumbo is over less than 1500 current cases in kc, him and the fat fake ghostly white and near death dr Rex archer are tryin desperately to scare people for the dimwit narrative. 95% of the new cases are young people 39 and under, there have been 24 deaths of people under 39 for the entire state of Missouri. Colleges and schools are where most of the cases are coming from and they barely have or never knew they had it. Be careful if your older and everything will be fine.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the only people I don’t see wearing masks 99% of the time are black people and when they are they don’t cover their noses or they’re so loose it doesn’t matter.
^^OK Boomer. Maybe get of the internets and go do something productive? how about that?
ReplyDeleteBlack metrosexuals make lousy leaders. Just look at Obama. He did everything he could fan the flames of racial tension during his entire tenure as an elected "community organizer." Q Ball is not one damned bit different.
ReplyDeleteI ran several of Boomer Hater/Geezer/Pops/Geriatric Fu*ktard/Old People/Weird/CHUD boy's comments through an online age detection app for written materials and it showed in the results that he is only 10 years old. You can tell his age by his lack of writing skills and his frequent temper tantrums. I'm guessing he dropped out of elementary school, and his mother doesn't know what to do with him. For his welfare, we’ve started a GoFundMe page titled “Save the 10-Year-Old Dumbass."
ReplyDelete9:24 you don’t like facts do you? Ok then, it’s the science so you have to believe that after all, you are a dimwit amirite! Haha!
ReplyDeleteMIC DROP: Dr. Scott Atlas’ 1st tweet after Twitter locked his account for sharing article debunking draconian COVID restrictions is perfection
ReplyDelete"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth."

OWNED 😏
Super Dave posted this a while back on Facebook and I kept it as it is really what is keeping the speading of the virus more than those not wear masks. I'd say 90% or better of those around me or where I go are wearing these false hopes while not paying any attention to what they touch or drink from.
ReplyDeleteWear your mask!
I swear, it's magical as some think!
Or is it going to save us?
“Let's go out to eat, 2020 style...
1. Arrive at restaurant, fish three month old single-use surgical mask out of car's filthy cupholder (still slightly sticky from this morning's 84oz diet Pepsi).
2. Strap up with three month old single-use surgical mask.
*MAGICAL ANTI-GERM BARRIER ENGAGE!!!*
3. Proceed into restaurant, opening door with same handle grabbed by 200 people so far today.
4. Hostess has immediate seating for your woke party of three. Walk past entire restaurant of unmasked people. It's ok, they're sitting.
5. Sit down.
*SEATED ANTI-GERM FORCEFIELD ENGAGE!!!*
6. Safely within your anti-germ forcefield, remove mask. Browse menu while making relaxed inhales of the same recirculated AC air previously inside the lungs of the 200 people that also grabbed the door handle.
7. Waitress drops off drinks bare handed.
8. Grab drink with your bare hand. Sip leisurely, secure in knowing you're within your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness.
9. Too many drinks. Need to pee. Don the magical anti-germ barrier mask as you leave your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness.
10. Walk past 40 unmasked restaurant patrons. Open bathroom with same door knob grabbed by 100 other people so far today.
11. Return to table past same 40 unmasked restaurant patrons.
12. Remove mask. Once again safe in your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness. Waitress takes your sweaty drink glass with her bare hand, refills, hands back to you. You accept with your bare hand. Grab some bread and eat it. Same hand. Yum Yum.
13. Meal complete. Mask on. Walk past 40 unmasked patrons. Make full body contact with at least 4 people waiting at the hostess stand as you squeeze your way back to the door - no matter, they're all also wearing their magical anti-germ barriers.
14. Grab exit handle, which you are now the 220th person of the day to touch. Eating out successful.
15. Breathe a sigh of relief knowing that even after leaving the protection of your home and venturing out into the scary world of the public, you are essentially sterile thanks to your state approved methods of magical germ mitigation.”
Did you hear Super Dave died? Thought COVID-19 was a hoax. A hoax killed him.
DeleteMasks save lives. Period. Science.
^^OK Go away now. Adults are talking.
ReplyDeleteI ran several of 9:26's posts through a program that detects intelligence. It found none and put itself on sleep mode.
ReplyDelete^^You ran a gerbil through your colon.
ReplyDeleteQuinton Lucas is not a leader.He has killed small business in KCMO. He even passed a new tax during the Covid pandemic He is a joke in the State Capitol. Too young,too naive, and had no previous leadership experience. Weak. KC is going down while Quinton Lucas pretends he is a leader.Go back to the law school kiddo and try to stay sober.
ReplyDelete^^and yet he's the mayor of KC and you're here. He wins!! You lose everyday! Hahahahahaha
ReplyDelete^^Ha! Good news!! he was always so dumb!!!
ReplyDelete^^^^Answers his own posts
ReplyDelete10:04 you posted that same dribble yesterday.
ReplyDelete^^Well it's fantastic news, and you be repeated endlessly!
ReplyDelete10;04 speaks an unintentional truth. The Boy Blunder is mayor and we all lose because of it. If he had a conscience he would admit his failure and resign. He won’t and we will continue to lose unless the recall effort succeeds this time.
ReplyDelete10:23 Ignorance Isn't Bliss
ReplyDelete@10:27Am-and if you had a conscience, you wouldn't be here. You are though so...
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^Says a real idiot
