The mayor of a Tennessee county acknowledges that COVID-19 cases are increasing there, yet he will not order residents and visitors to wear masks until "the Holy Spirit" moves him to do so. Lincoln County Mayor Bill Newman says that this isn't because he's anti-science; after all, he is an Auburn University-trained veterinarian. Mayor Newman said, "(the virus) is science, and it's true, and I do believe masking helps prevent the spread of it, but I don't feel I should mandate people wearing masks at this time." The mayor has said that he takes any big decision to God for guidance, and according to his Baptist tradition, this guidance is delivered by the Holy Spirit. He added, "the Holy Spirit dwells within us; it's a heart thing. It's not a mind thing... When I pray for guidance, I may not know the answer immediately." Many residents are frustrated that Newman is failing to fulfill his duty as a leader by "ducking behind the Holy Spirit."
