Shaw included the comment of Dr. Deborah Brix who said that Bismarck was the worst place in the country for wearing masks. Having spent a lot of time in Bismarck the past several months I agree that the percentage of people wearing masks is far lower than Fargo. So, the uptick in active cases must be coming from the Bismarck area, right? No, Cass County leads the increase in active cases in North Dakota. listen live watch live Michigan is the poster child for mask compliance and business shutdowns, but it is currently the worst state – by far – for active cases. Minnesota has had a mask mandate since last June and yet it has seen an increase in active cases. But, according to Shaw “If we just reinstate the mask mandate for two months, we can cross the goal line.” I am not sure what goal line he is talking about crossing, but you can bet that the “two months” will turn out to be another “15 days to flatten the curve.”
