Boone County, home of University of Missouri, sees spike in new Covid cases

 

Boone County currently has, by far, the highest rate of new Covid cases of all Missouri's 114 counties.


No increase in hospitalizations and deaths.  Vaccines work.


The stage was set back in January.

ABC17 News, 1/11/2022
On Monday morning, the board members released an agenda for the immediate review of the system's COVID-19 protocols. During the 8 a.m. meeting Tuesday, MU Chancellor Mun Choi recommended two different versions of a mask requirement to start the spring semester. 
The curators voted against both temporary masking recommendations.

Appointments are made by the Governor.  Missouri has had a Republicans governor since 2017.

Wonder how this event went?

Colleges in Washington, D.C., New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Texas have reimposed a range of virus measures, with Howard University moving to remote learning amid a surge in cases in the nation’s capital. 
This is the third straight academic year that has been upended by COVID-19, meaning soon-to-be seniors have yet to experience a normal college year.
