Missouri Gov. Mike Parson and his wife, Teresa, who just 2 days ago announced they had both contracted the coronavirus, say they will still host their annual fall festival on Oct. 3 — 4 days short of a 14-day quarantine window.

Gov. Parson, who is up for reelection, has come under fire from critics and his own public health officials for regularly eschewing medical advice — choosing not to wear a face covering at public events and campaign rallies. And on multiple occasions, he has been photographed failing to maintain a 6-foot distance from constituents.

He was also lambasted after he downplayed the risks Missouri children would face upon returning to school amid the pandemic.,"If they do get COVID-19, which they will — and they will when they go to school — they're not going to the hospitals. They're not going to have to sit in doctors' offices. They're going to go home and they're going to get over it.

He couldn’t debate Nicole Galloway because he needed to quarantine, but he can host a fall festival? VOTE HIM OUT! GallowayForMissouriGovernor

And if invited i would go.

These people are insane, selfish assholes.

This is criminal, there is a crime category called depraved indifference, this is what they should be charged with when people die from Covid as a result of this absurdity

KrisKetzKMBC Stupid is as stupid does.

NPR is not invited, so you have nothing to worry about.

“My purpose of being governor will be to try to bring people together and to try and move the state of Missouri forward.” Mike Parson, June 1, 2018

I have no sympathy for these people— however, when you’re sick, it’s isolation, not quarantine, and current standards are 10 days post positive test for isolation if you symptoms are gone for a min of 24 hours.

Liberate the Corona in Missouri! Signed, Donald Trump!

COVIDIOTS

King_Of_Shade Any bets on that?

Brilliant

KrisKetzKMBC Buffoons, both of them.

This level of irresponsible behavior is dangerous

Hopefully they'll die before they get the chance to kill others.

KrisKetzKMBC COVIDIOTS Idiocracy IdiotsForTrump

gross negligence, fits gop hole govs- deathsantis, kemp,...reynolds, douchey, abb-rot

Dear Lord. I was feeling sorry for them. What a couple of goombas.

Missouri loves company

I wouldn't show up to that. Looks like they're having a party for two!

GOP ignorance and cult following may help Dems. They'll all be dead or in ICU and won't be able to vote.

And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. Luke 6: 31

Trick or treat!! Trick! You win. ☠️👻

One of them could have had it worst than the other. Now they both just gave it too other. Let see how they fair in a week.

christhedish

Of course they will. Next stop; the morgue. Sad.

Irresponsible

King_Of_Shade The 14 days are for if you suspect you are exposed or have been exposed. Once you test positive 14 days means nothing.

sarahmccammon Just don’t get it...disagree with a lot of his positions and policies, but some things seem obvious. Be smart, don’t go. Help the Gov and his missus escape the fog they live in.

JoshDorner If I have nightmares tonight about these two having sex, I’m blaming you, NPR, and this picture you attached to your tweet.

WabiSabiBaby gross.

They’ll be dead lucky if they make it that long.

Oh please! Protect everyone. Stay home!!!

Most jurisdictions have gone to 10 days from symptoms starting and 24 hours without fever with no medication. Or if no symptoms 10 days from positive test.

Ignorant and wreckless

Arrest them and put them in solitary for an entire month!

sarahmccammon The stupidity is fucking exhausting.

I thought the CDC reduced it to 10 a couple months ago. That’s 10 days after symptom appearance or the positive test if they don’t ever get symptoms.

Not living out his pledge: Honor, Integrity, Transparency

Kovid is kaput

Part of the immoral majority that does the same?

Their ignorance is exceeded only by their arrogance.

Of course they willl, it’s fake right?

🦠🦠🦠likes this

Ew

I’m sorry sarahkendzior

nhuntwalker Is this not illegal? Not up to date with the US Covid laws, but here in the UK we can't meet in social groups of more than six. Although we can go to work and school....don't ask its been a shambles.

Irresponsible

THEY HAVE COVID, the QUARANTINE PERIOD DOESNT MATTER THEY’RE CONTAGIOUS!!!

Governor Blackface Democrat from Virginia and his wife also tested positive🤡🤡

renee3147 Charge them with willful endangerment. And with murder if someone the expose dies

Just, screw everybody, huh?

Rules and Laws for thee but not for me-Republican Anthem.

Well of course they will... and the rest of the world just shakes it's collective heads in disbelief and forbids US travel for the foreseeable...

I think they’re saying this is a Covid party if you want to get Covid from us and die please come to our party and have fun

If they’re not in the hospital

Is there a law on the books stating that 'If you knowingly give someone a potentially fatal disease your charge with manslaughter'?

He's a Republican. Surprise, surprise. Why do people keep voting for idiots like this? I hope he loses his job on election day. VOTE This is irresponsible, as is Trump nowadays. Covid19 WearAMask

renee3147 .Man, I wouldn’t go anywhere near these folks...mask or no mask!

GovParsonMO You are a criminal!

Canceling out rebublican votes one party at a time.

renee3147 How THE FUCK is this not a crime? Your intentionally spreading a killer virus. WTF

please do a better job. Google takes literally seconds if you don’t feel like scrolling on the CDC website.

Guys don’t you know, the people who attend will have herd immunity 🤡.

King_Of_Shade They can hire their gun-toting neighbors to keep the health department away!

Isn’t it 10 days. Governor of Va is only doing the Q for 10

Some cider doughnuts, some pumpkin lattes and a little C-19 on the menu. Enjoy!

Yeah, uh no.

I’m so sick of white leadership. It’s really one big ass joke.

Yuk

FFS. No wonder our country is in the toilet.

youroutervoice Hopefully all the local GOP folks attend

😂good for them

They are a very special kind of stupid.

Goodbye

youroutervoice This is my state. Makes me sick that Parson doesn't give a crap about spreading Covid in the state. Not him and his wife but the crazy going on in Branson Mo. Actually ALL the rural areas are anti mask. He was not elected btw. Suburbs will kick him out. Blue all the way!

Unbelievable

youroutervoice So they're either eager to spread it or they don't really have it yet.

Yeah because they have no symptoms and are not actually sick.

JFC I’m so sick of this shit. VOTE HIM OUT

CDC changed their guidelines again stating if Positive test must Isolate for 10 days not 14, but if you come in contact with a positive then Quarantine for 14 days. Regardless Parson is a moron. 🤦🏻‍♀️

When do they start to care for others?

Ignorance breeds stupidity.

So no problem murdering people. Awesome.

They are murderers. Lock them up!!!!

Cough cough

Read and share...

People straight suicidal for that pumpkin spice 🍁

Give Pence and Trump a big kiss for us! Nice to see you doing your part in lower the odds.

Brilliant!!

Who would go to a party if you knew the hosts have a highly contagious disease.?

Hahahah Republicans smh

Crazy

Absolute stupidity. 🙄 selfish idiots

Because who wouldn't want to catch COVID? VoteOutParson

Let them all get it!

Dude literally just cancelled the debate with his challenger Nicole Galloway because of the required quarantine, but this event goes on as scheduled. I suspect this unelected moron doesn't even have covid-19 and just didn't want to debate.

Parson is also a cattle rancher. I wonder if he considers vaccinations their 'responsibility'.

If they’re not on a ventilator or dead. COVIDIDIOT COVIDー19 200KDeadAmericans

Is the correct ‘isolation’ period for Covid positive ten days not fourteen? Quarantine periods are for close contacts I thought.

Stupid is as stupid does.

You actually just have to isolate for 10 days from day 1 of symptoms. If doing well and improving that time frame would work.

tobyalan82 wanna go? I could only ever *dream* about including “First Lady” in my Twitter name as a douchey governors wife.

Ugh. God...

And this is why the pandemic is out of control and will not end. Too bad they don’t have a more severe case, something I would have never felt/thought a few months ago.

One rule for them, another rule for everybody else. I guess they don't believe in leading by example.

Don’t attend! It’s a CovidTrap

At this point I feel like we are being punked.

Why are these people so stupid and selfish

They’re undoubtedly going have extremely comprehensive waivers for all the idiots who attend, right?!

I’m guessing the apple-bobbing contest will be a big hit.

You can't fix stupid.

Republican Governor. Enough said.

WTF?

WOW. I knew tha republicans were selfish but now I see that there are no limits to their selfishness.

Wtf

Hey GovParsonMO, Be sure to make it a maskless party, and be SURE to invite HawleyMO.

Super smart...

because they suck.

Experts warn Parkinson's disease may 'explode' after COVID-19

What could go wrong... sigh.

That’s hopeful of them to not think they’ll get really sick. They might be in the hospital in eight days.

Idiots

It’s only 10 days if you are positive to all you people pitching a fit

Why have our leaders all lost their marbles?

깨어나십시오 메시아께서 오십니다

CDC says 10 days. They’re following the science.

Killing off the base, one event at a time.

I hear the merchant princes had big parties during The Black Death, too.

Misery loves company. They should be held criminally liable for any illnesses or deaths that result from attending.

Uhm . . . It’s 10 days from symptoms. 14 day quarantine applies from date of exposure to positive person. Get it right. I support NPR as a sustaining member of KBIA

They don't seem to know how this works.

Grossly irresponsible...

Another Super- Spreader Event ... courtesy of the GOP.

Everyone vote for Nicole Galloway!

People are DYING, and GovParsonMO wants to party 🤦‍♂️...

🤦‍♀️
