The “Staff” writers have repeated their frightening “concluding sentence” several times (as required by today’s overly fragmented blog-style editors) to require a COVID like complete shutdown of every local lake and river.

Until what results?

Another 25 years of “No infections” locally?
Another 50 years of “Only 1 infection”?

Oh.

By the way, where does this infection come from, what are its vectors? - Warm fresh water rivers in sub-Sahatan Africa or South America? In their zealous “shut down Missouri recreation lakes IMMEDIATELY” campaign start, these writers are ignoring the big elephant in the room.

“I’m perfectly safe from brain eating parasites...”

I wonder what ‘horse paste’ for parasites (Ivermectin) would do to this parasite .... if it was even tried

"after contracting primary amebic meningoencephalitis from the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri... only four documented survivors nationally since tracking began in 1962"

In addition to ChiComjoe, there are numerous other Demonicrat politicians who appear to be potential survivors of the brain-eating parasite.

The website seem far right conservative. Wonder why they are pimping a left wing socialist trope “the government must save us”?

Do the math for total exposure over that time frame and I’m sure clear sky lighting strikes while playing golf on a Saturday has a higher fatality rate.

But I fell for the click bait so well done Patriot Spotlight and Red Badger.

Questions arise if they’re prioritizing economic interests over citizen safety.

They should watch Jaws.

Before one can put a boat in the water in Colorado, it has to be inspected for Zebra mussels.

But apparently brain eating parasites (sounds like Democrats) are okay.

Zebra mussels can be detected visually. Not sure how they would easily check for a bacterium like this one...

Overblown... you are in far more danger of getting bitten by a dog, killed by a pit bull, killed by the common flu, covid, getting killed on the job, or getting killed while driving to work.

“Only 167 cases have been documented nationally between 1962 and 2024”

If you are scared just avoid warm water in soupy green lakes. Missouri has plenty of safe spring fed, swift flowing, highly oxygenated cold water creeks to swim in.

That’ll go over like a lead balloon, like when they forbade people to play outside or go to the beach in 2020-2021. Just put your covid mask back on, that is, if you ever took it off, it will protect you from everything.

All kinds of words about “intensive care”, etc. But, when did they diagnose the cause? Three days into his four-day death sentence? The death is because meds (not gov’mt — the doctors) sat around and waited.
This is like getting snake bit and the Dr goes on about filling in forms and was the snake hurt.
