Yep. St. Louis County & City are going back to mask mandates starting Monday unless our AG or Governor put a stop to it. The AG might since he's running for Blunt's seat next year and this is pretty much a litmus test to make it out of the primary. Governor I don't think will after Biden called out Missouri last week about new cases.
I was out last night with doomers who are so concerned and I asked them, how many people per day (7-day rolling average) in the county are dying with COVID two weeks ago. They wouldn't answer the question so I kept pressing to give me a number. Finally one said "I dunno, 40 - 50 a day?" The look on their faces when I told them that two weeks ago that number was 6 day. This week, that 300% spike they saw on the news is 18 people a day. They didn't believe me and looked it up themselves on the dashboard and were shocked that the number of deaths per day has been hovering between 8 - 14 per day since March and pretty consistent.
One still made excuses as to why masks were the right thing to do. As Yuri said, tell them the truth and they still won't believe you...
