Will your DC wear mask to school when Youngkin lifts school mask mandate next week?

In fact, I mentioned to DS1 that he hopefully won't have to wear a mask next school year. He said "I don't think I would feel comfortable not wearing a mask, it is just normal now, like a shirt" I am honestly not sure he really remembers what it is like to not wear a mask in public indoor areas.

Mine don't seem bothered wearing them. They have never once complained and they always remember (even when I forget lol). Honestly, we just went to Disney and wore masks from 7am to 9pm each day and it wasn't that bad at all (and we wore N95s). It didn't bother me and wasn't uncomfortable.

I don't know why that means I am a liar or why it has to be shocking. Different folks obviously have different tolerance levels for things.

Can we just stop being so dramatic with everything.


If you were not bothered or uncomfortable from wearing an N95 mask for 14 hours straight then you are definitely not wearing it correctly


Sorry, meant to type KN95 masks. But no, they were fine. I find them comfortable. I actually don't find the 3M N95s uncomfortable at all either (they just have a strong smell to me)

Don't you see why this is a problem? Maybe there's some underlying reason why your kid wants to wear a mask all the time? That's not normal...

DP, but her kids seem really well adjusted to me. I raised the possibility of going massless with middle school DS, and he was like “I don’t know—it’s no big deal either way. Though my mask does keep my face warm when it’s cold.”

SB739 advanced the full education committee for the House.

We will be voting on SB739 this Tuesday on the floor. The Governor is expected to immediately sign it and if he chooses to add an emergency clause it will come back to the House and Senate for enactment by a simple majority of both chambers again on Tuesday.

It is very possible that SB739 will become law on Tuesday. Masks will be optional in schools at the parents choice.


Have kovidians identified their space space they can retreat to once healthy children are allowed by law to breath freely again? Note I do not say purely as our air has been polluted by the same gl0balists pushing this wicked agenda

I don't doubt that masks are no big deal for some kids, but they are for mine. Between massive difficulties in speech, and understanding, and even just the ability to receive proper speech therapy. To being isolated and punished for not correctly wearing a mask in between bites during lunch. It's a big deal for some kids. Just like virtual worked great for some kids (again, not mine), you have to realize that masks are actually pretty harmful for others.

I mean he is used to it? I don't know he doesn't like to go without a shirt either. I am not sure why kid has to be the not normal one. He has done something every day of his life for 2 years. It shouldn't be shocking that he can't picture not wearing one.

I hate when folks say kids don't die of covid. They do. Yeah, not many but it doesn't take very many kids dying for folks to take action.

Nearly 700 kids have died of covid during the pandemic. It has consistently been listed under the top 10 cause of death for kids. Kids aren't supposed to die so when a small number of kids die from something it is significant. 400-500 kids died of measles a year before we had a vaccine. A handful of kids died from the FP Rock n. Play before it was recalled. 608 kids 12 and under died from car accidents in 2019, kids over all the average is around 1500. 1800 kids die of cancer a year. Under 1K kids die from drowning.

Those are all relatively small numbers when we consider the number of children in the US but they are all significant because kids are not supposed to die.But no one says car accidents don't kill kids or cancer doesn't kill kids. No one says that a parent shouldn't be worried that their kid will get cancer, or they shouldn't wear a seat belt or they shouldn't teach their kid to swim. When again, the kids of all of this is very low.

Yes, your kid has a small risk of having serious complications from covid and a smaller risk of death. But we take so many precautions for so many other things that our children also have a very small risk of death or injury from. I am not sure why folks are so angry about the risks from covid.

(Again yes, I am saying the risk is low. I am just saying it shouldn't be insane that people want to take precautions)

Statistics show dying in a car crash more kid than dying of flurona. So chill with the forced muzzling of children with an oppressive and gagging tool.

What you are missing is that if you recall the Rock n' Play you know there will be no further deaths from it. We simply do not believe masks provide the same outcome. Also, in this country many parents opt out of the measels shot as seeing the potential of harm from the vaccine outweighs the remote chance of catching measles (I am not saying they are correct or that this creates a free rider problem, I'm just pointing out that we do not always force precautions (especially overly protective ones) where the cost-benefit analysis does not justify it).

That statistic is with seatbelts, airbags, car seats, etc. I'm sorry you've sacrificed so much for so little risk over the past 2 years, but it's time for you forced child maskers to take the L. You lost, kids won.

STILL will be mind boggling in 50 years time (if they’ve allowed you to make it that far)
to reminisce about this pAndemiC and adults WANTING to impose on (healthy) CHILDREN to live in fear and under perpetual psychological submission by covering the body’s airways. A whole industry of mask(ing) was created.

And STILL they’ll argue with you like the were right or some sh!t

Because masks are a reasonable scientifically supported precautions, I will continue to argue against selfish ignorant evil people like you to the end of times.

So, again, if parents want to take precautions, it is easy to keep their kids in N95-type masks for as long as they feel it is necessary. But if other parents view the downsides of wearing a mask outweigh the benefits (or perhaps they see no benefit whatsoever), they should be able to choose no masks.

But please tell me how there is only one random bad study that says masks don't work. No one anywhere, says that masks are perfect. They are ONE step in preventing covid. Again, I really understand the hatred some have for them. I think it is odd to not be able to adapt to something after 2 years, but it is fine if folks find masks uncomfortable. Just there is no need to spout of claims that they are useless, when obviously they are not useless. They just aren't 100% protection.



Or you can look at the state of Florida where the kids never wore masks and compare it to areas where kids always wore masks and you will see that they provide little to no protection. We just think the upside of masks is greatly outweighed by the downside of forcible masking of children for years.
