St Louis area has been declared a COVID hot spot multiple times. PPE is at about 45% usage by the general people outdoors, IMO, at a rough estimate of what I'm seeing around town. Businesses may or may not have any mask requirements for customers, and even when employees are wearing masks, it's hit or miss whether they're even covering their nose.
So I'm not surprised that it's falling into the category of "when infection rates are high."
