Gov. Parson Continues To Send Wrong Message on COVID-19 The following is the opinion of the author and does not represent the view of Townsquare Media Sedalia / Warrensburg. I think Governor Mike Parson continues to send the wrong message on COVID-19 at just the wrong time. The latest such instance came the other night when he posted the following thoughts on Twitter: I don't have a problem with the State of Missouri NOT mandating who goes through the front door of your home. It would be troubling to me if they did, COVID-19 pandemic or not. And I don't think I'm the only person who would feel that way.
