OP, or the PP who said yes, are you Eastern Asian?

The only time I'd put a mask on my kid is if we had to go to an urgent care or ER. Otherwise, no.

Only if you want your child to get incessantly made fun of and bullied.

No, but I bought a case of Lysol wipes this weekend. DH took 5 to his school. I took 5 to mine. DD took 7 to hers (One per classroom).

I also gave DD a bottle of hand sanitizer.

This is hilarious! Wait...you are joking, right?

Why is that funny? I think it's a prudent thing for PP to do - not necessarily because of coronavirus, though, but because of all of the crap circulating right now.

Not OP, file OP under no.

That sounds like good idea. Thanks. It is good to send something to school
as teachers always appreciate supply regardless of the times.

So you and your husband are teachers?

We are a two-teacher HH, and this never crossed our minds.

Microbiologist here.

No, there is no reason to walk around with masks in the USA right now, except perhaps in international airports and on board international-bound airplanes.

However, thinking about this for future pandemics, if your child needs to go to school wearing a mask, it means the school system should consider closing temporarily. Hopefully we will never have that scenario here, but this is one of the measures epidemiologists need to plan for.

No, I’m laminating mine tonight, then bubble wrapping them each morning before school.
