3 Colorado Counties under one health department. They break up over school mask mandates. On Nov 24, two of the counties move to indoor mask mandates.
The mask mandate does nothing. All three counties have the same results.
I take that back, the mask mandate did do a lot, it just didn’t do anything to slow the spread of Covid.
Mask mandates negatively impact people and hurt businesses in Adams and Arapahoe County (though as people flock to Douglas County it helps businesses there).
Here’s some background and a version of the graph w/detail about what’s going on in schools in the 3 counties (they all had mask mandates from early in school year). School mask mandates also made no difference in county rates or school incidence rates.
And here's some data for Cherry Creek and Littleton schools (masked in Arapahoe County) and Douglas County schools (unmasked). Just not much of a difference.
