COVID-19 was a major topic of discussion this week at our State Capitol, so please heed the advice of experts to prevent the onset and spread of this virus. I remain optimistic in Missouri’s leaders and their ability to handle this issue with due diligence. The best place to find the latest information on the virus is the Centers for Disease Control.
The Department of Defense has also shared this list of population specific resources:

I also remain thankful to be my community’s voice in the Missouri General Assembly and am thrilled to report that Missouri may be well on its way to implementing a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program!
On Thursday, March 12, the Missouri Senate passed its version of House Bill 1693. Although similar initiatives have stalled in the Senate in years past, HB 1693 is one step closer to becoming a reality. I believe this tool will benefit physicians, their patients and Missouri’s overall health.
On Wednesday, I presented my Senate Bill 666 to the Health and Pensions Committee in an effort to solidify current practices into statute. Some people with behavioral health conditions rely heavily on medications to treat their diseases, so in my opinion, this bill will add some extra protections for this vulnerable population and help prevent potentially dangerous psychotic episodes.

Well the citizens have zero confidence in our leaders, when their choice is to cut and run for home a week earlier than scheduled. Looks like they don’t have confidence in repugnican leadership to control anything includiing their own cowardice. Thoughts and prayers!
ReplyDeleteYou introduced Senate bill 666?
ReplyDeleteTHAT OUGHTA GET THE BIBLE THUMPERS ALL WEE WEED UP!
President Trump recently said the number of cases would decline from 15 to zero. He said this would all go away.
ReplyDeleteThe tests are perfect.
Everyone who needs one can get one.
Everyone entering the USA is tested and everyone positive is quarantined.
Every NBA player can be tested with a perfect corona test for less reason than a sick patient or medical worker hospitalized with suspected corona virus who doesn't need a test.
President Trump says it is President Obama's fault.
Who knew people die every year from the flu? Maybe we need a vaccine for that too!
President Trump hires only the best people and fires everyone else to drain the swamp. Make America Great Again by hiring college students with Trump campaign experience fill important government positions.
President Trump has his son in law researching and helping direct the corona virus response and guide federal and presidential government communications on corona virus.
Thoughts and prayers!
There’s no reason to worry. We’re operating under the bold and decisive leadership of President Trump. Every angle has been examined and every alternative has been considered!
ReplyDeleteThoughts aand prayers though. Just in case something slipped by the stable genius and his republican sycophant enablers!
