County meeting attendees should quarantine even if fully vaccinated, city health officials warn

ST. LOUIS — City health officials are going above federal guidelines and asking those who attended a St. Louis County Council meeting on Tuesday to quarantine, including five council members, the county executive and the director of the county health department.

Most of those at the meeting came to protest the county mask mandate and were not wearing face coverings. Many spoke at the podium, and members of the crowd shouted throughout the meeting.

A city resident who attended the meeting began experiencing symptoms the day after the meeting and underwent a test for COVID-19 on Thursday, Dr. Fredrick Echols, acting city health director, said at a news conference on Sunday.

Echols said the city health department received notification of the positive result on Saturday, sparking the advisory asking that everyone who attended the meeting — even those who are fully vaccinated — to quarantine for the next nine days to complete the 14-day quarantine period.


Because the person is a city resident, the city’s health department is in charge of contacting those the person may have exposed and asking them to quarantine. Attendees should wait until 10 days after exposure to take a test, or get tested if they develop symptoms, Echols said.

Because the health department was unable to determine the person’s movements at the meeting where most people were unmasked, Echols said officials decided the best way to protect the public’s health was to ask everyone there to quarantine.

“The likelihood that several individuals could have been exposed and potentially infected is something we are really concerned about,” Echols said.

17. I really, really, really want to ask one of these iditios

with the "My Body, My Choice" signs what their thoughts are on abortion? Somehow I doubt they would see the irony...

[DemocraticPatriot]

27. They may be deliberately trolling us by co-opting the

"my body my choice" slogan. Certainly some of them are...

[Celerity]

31. they will likely say (after calling you a satan-worshipping baby killer) that they are going to

war for the unborn, under the command of baby jeebus. the Duke, and Trump.

St. Louis County public health official says he was called racial slurs after council meeting on mask mandate

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/30/us/faisal-khan-assault-mask-mandate/index.html

(CNN) Faisal Khan, acting director of the Saint Louis County Department of Public Health, said he faced "racist, xenophobic, and threatening behavior" after a County Council meeting on the mask mandate on Tuesday. Khan sent a letter to County Council Chairwoman Rita Days detailing the harassment he says he encountered after addressing the council.

He had been invited by the council to explain the public health rationale behind the county's recent public health order that requires face coverings or masks, Kahn told CNN Thursday.

The city and county of St. Louis announced a mask mandate last week that requires those ages 5 and older to wear masks in indoor public spaces and on public transportation following an increase in cases of Covid-19, CNN previously reported.

Missouri's attorney general filed a lawsuit on the day the mandate went into effect and the St. Louis County Council voted to overturn the mask mandate after Khan's presentation on Tuesday.

4. It's "Idiocracy 2: Covidiots Galore."

The original was a documentary, not a comedy. So is the sequel.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Bet 90% won't quarantine.

[KS Toronado]

11. I'm thinking closer to 100%

They're brainwashed reQublicans who "know" it's a hoax or no worse than the regular flu.

[TheBlackAdder]

26. Assholes like that feel that if they have it, they might as well give it to others.

[UpInArms]

9. Their denial of science

Should prevent them from using the medical facilities

Smh

[colsohlibgal]

10. Okay Then

It is really like Trumpsters have become a separate species.....the result of approximately 3 decades of Far right Media.

Go ahead and do each other in you brain dead Creeps.

[KS Toronado]

13. "Trumpsters have become a separate species"

Very insightful and true, I might even tell some of them that.

[SallyHemmings]

16. Thinning the herd

I feel bad for their kids.

[jmbar2]

25. I feel bad for healthcare workers who will have to care for them

I'd be tempted to walk off my job if they overrun the hospital. Send them home with aspirin to let their loved ones do the dirty work.

[dsweet]

18. Is it the "Court Jester" Hypothesis from Evolutionary Biology?

The Court Jester co-evolution hypotheses says that abiotic forces drive selection instead of biological-based forces. So in this case, Covid is being forced by our vaccines to evolve, and the MAGA are being forced by their media to continue to provide hosts for the virus. This is just a farcical post, but with a name like "Court Jester" and the way the MAGA are, it seems fitting.

[progressoid]

46. Sadly they are not all trumpsters.

15. Leave them to their fate, and don't expend any public money on the "adults" if they contract Covid.

[lindysalsagal]

42. I want to agree with you not to waste hospital space and workers and materials on the idiots.

We're drowning in our own self-imposed health/financial decline. It's the fall of rome, from the inside out.

[Tanuki]

19. That photo is dumbfounding. It's as if they are at a sporting event,

covid virus vs. humanity, and they are cheering on the virus.

[NoMoreRepugs]

20. The sooner we as a country accept the FACT that a large portion of our fellow

citizens are BatShitCrazedLoons and do not give a shit about us or the country the sooner we can move ahead knowing that we need to pull all the weight ourselves.

[DemocraticPatriot]

21. "WHO Could Have Predicted This" ??????

Only any moron with 2 brain cells to rub together...

[lonely bird]

23. They get it...

At the very least they pay full boat for their treatment. No insurance coverage, nothing, including no GoFundMe. Go put your fucking coffee can on the counter at the gas station while the bank takes your house and car.

I am tired of spoiled 4 year olds ruining this country.

[jmbar2]

28. I like this idea a lot

Maybe it would bring housing prices down have millions of houses suddenly hit the market.

[onethatcares]

36. let them gather together

somewhere away from normal people and pray for each other to get healed.

I'm right up there with you about no insurance coverage and full payment prior to hospital admission.

they're driving the cost of healthcare and healthcare insurance up for the rest of us.

[uponit7771]

37. RIGHT !?!? I think we're in enabling these people right now

[SheltieLover]

24. How do people get this stupid?

[jmbar2]

30. It's a russian op to take down the U.S. from within

It's close to working I'm afraid.

[oioioi]

48. not just the US

disinformation dominating discourse on a global scale.

[Initech]

47. Facebook.

[FakeNoose]

29. Best move for any of them at this point

... would be to stay away from City Hall and County Council meetings.
It seems that lunacy must be catching, along with the Covid virus.
(Or perhaps one precludes the other.)

Mask up everybody. Get your vaccinations as soon as possible.

[Richard58]

32. When I look at that group--

-- of morons I just shake my head in disgust. They are totally self-centered and have no sense of community responsibility. And their ignorance of science is appalling! I hope they all get covid to teach them a lesson..

[crimycarny]

34. Notice me! Notice me!

The smug look on their faces--"Notice me! Notice me!". That's what this is all about, wanting to feel like a "rebel" (which translates to wanting to feel relevant). Pampered and selfish people who wouldn't know true hardship if it bit them in the *ss.
