Cape County mask mandate changed to 'strongly recommended'

Expect COVID-19 cases to shoot to the moon next week. Expect 20 to 30 new death every week. It is time to panic.

Take the amount of people in the county who already died and double it. And that will be how many people who will die by next month.

Sad we almost had COVID-19 under control in Cape Girardeau County. Now there is no way to stop. Time to start up the death count.

What is your problem with self defense?

Don’t worry rational and sane logic dictates we are all going to be ok...

Remember there is a difference between self defense and assault!

"Don’t worry rational and sane logic dictates we are all going to be ok..."

Nope, lot of people are going to die from COVID-19. There is no way to protect yourself from it, now that everyone is taking off the masks and spreading their COVID-19.

A better Headline would be: "Cape Girardeau County surrendered to the virus!"

Given the Covid testing clinics were cancelled the last two weeks, it is not surprising case numbers have fallen.

Disappointing choices by our city leaders. If scientist are correct, this decision was premature.

Yep they are ignoring science and people are going to pay the price. Time to start up the death count again.

Don't cry when you get COVID, you brought it on yourself.

brighter days, you would fit in great across the river

brighter days--better just stay inside the sky is falling

COVID-19 is one of the deadliest virus in human history. Killed thousands. And it is being allowed to run out of control. The mask mandate was the only thing keeping it under control, now that is gone. It is time to panic.

Brighter Days, no, it is not time to panic. Let your paper spray and emotion go and then take a rational and thoughtful look at the evidence. Read some of the published scientific literature about this issue. You should start to feel better pretty quickly.

Florida has 2 million more people than New York. It didn't shut down it's economy or schools hardly at all unlike New York which destroyed industry, jobs and school children.

Yet Florida has 17,000 LESS deaths than NY.

Science and data... science and data. It's a two way street oakisland. Cherry picking ain't gonna cut it.

Why are democrats like you so willing to give up your civil rights?

Time to start up the daily death count. It is going to sky rocket. Now with the mask mandate gone, we lost the only thing that allowed us to control the virus, is gone. Cape Girardeau County just surrendered to the virus.

Yes, let's for sure take a look here in 2-3 weeks. You will see -- the data will prove the point that the masks have done nothing but (perhaps) make (certain) people feel better, sans evidence. Yet the health board has been trying to make people feel beholden to this ridiculous narrative for eight months.

Masks prevent the spread of COVID-19, that is scientific fact. TIME TO PANIC!!!

Brighter Days I truly hope you are trolling all of us. If not, you need some serious help. I suggest therapy, education, medication, and maybe mild sedation!

I think Brighter Days is an Online Performance Artist. It is a new, up-and-coming medium. I believe it was spearheaded by Shia LeBeouf about four years ago, and likely should have ended there as well.

But then again, art is in the eye of the beholder.

Socialist party PLANdemic is winding down, looks as if they got what they wanted!

Finally! Freedom of choice. Wear a mask if you wish. But I am over it.

Finally! Freedom of choice. Die from COVID-19 if you wish. But I am ready to die.

(Their I fixed it for you.)

Eh, I've made it this far doing the recommended things - masks, essential trips out-n-about only, distancing, etc. - without catching it, still gots a long ways to go before vaccinations reach the Phase / Tier which I fall into, and there ain't no mandate to NOT wear one - so I'll keep doing what I've been doing, and motor on. Figure come too far to get tripped up now, with an end in sight.

Have seen grey, green, and yellow dots beside the Respect / Don't Respect line on user comments, but it seems one user has brought a new color to light - red. Ain't seen that one before - and still have no clue how the colors work.

Also noticed this user has posted 11 of the 30 comments so far, falling into the category of bandwidth hog, which in other situations would call for a reboot or a Task Manager 'End Task'.

Envisioning one who whups out the paper spray in haste, and succeeds in spritzing their own self. :-)

Hi, just checking in, I’m ok! Went a few places, no mask and..... no pepper spray 😃

Fxpwt, I will basically do the same thing you are, I rarely go anywhere anyway. And I noticed the colors by the buttons. Maybe it's a contest.

Why does anyone waste time responding to the rants of a troll? Brighter obviously has issues. No need to feed the beast.

Thought I would do some research on "paper spray" so that I could defend myself against the "performing artist" we all know as Brighter days. I was unable to find any personal weapon called paper spray. Looks like just more nonsense from him or her. As for the mask mandate being lifted, about time! I lifted mine on March 1st. around the time I was threatened with a paper spray attack.
