[quote=Anonymous]St Louis imposed a mask mandate on Thursday, citing large percent gains in respiratory viruses and concerns over possible hospital strain. However, by Friday, they reversed course, as hospitals and medical providers pushed back on the city's alarmist comments.

'St. Louis Director of Health Matifadza Hlatshwayo Davis originally said on Thursday that "significant increases" in COVID-19, RSV and flu cases in the city were the reason behind the mask order.  However, on Friday morning, the department replaced its original statistics with less alarming data showing respiratory viruses trending up. Area hospitals seemed surprised when the city originally issued the mask mandate. "BJC is not seeing a strain on hospital capacity," BJC Health Care officials told 5 On Your Side. We are experiencing a seasonal increase in respiratory illness, which is typical for this time of year." Mercy Hospital described it as a "typical winter." St. Louis County said they haven't seen any out-of-the-ordinary strains on the health system." [/quote]
