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

For you and the teachers who are so upset, why do you think this?
You can wear a mask and the children you mentioned can wear a mask.
But you are wearing the mask to protect yourself. It’s for you. So if you want it, then wear it.
Prior to the pandemic, there were definitely people with the conditions you mentioned wearing masks They did so for their protection. Our neighbors who was undergoing chemo wore a mask all the time outside the home. A friend who had horrible allergies wore one at certain times as well. The masks were for their benefit

Is the problem really that you will feel strange or weird if you are the only one wearing a mask? Because I actually think it’s way more that. Otherwise uuu would know that you would continue to wear a mask with no consternation or concern for what others want to do.

Masks work better when everyone wears them. Remember, you wear a mask to protect others? Everyone knows this.

Yes. Not wearing masks at s time when CDC is recommending higher quality mask (KN95 and N95) is absurd.

Not enforceable. Executive Order overrides it.

He cites a law that backs up his order

He cites a law that gives general, unenumerated rights. There is a specific state law requiring schools to comply with CDC guidance. Even if an EO and a state law were on the same legal footing, the rule of statutory construction would provide that a specific rule trumps a general one. The EO loses.

Agreed, even if the EO were on equal footing with a state statute or the state and US constitutions, your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.

I hope my kids wear masks every winter to be honest. It’s been nice to escape the constant colds they usually have from November-March.

I hope whatever school your children attend don’t let them in the building.

Any maskless kid should be required to quarantine if a close contact, regardless of vaccination status.

And the quarantine period is 5 days now. And Covid infected positive tested nurses are allowed to come to work in some places. Some places also have test to stay rules by which kids can come back if they test negative even if close contact. I know you would love to punish all these little kids who can’t wait to take their masks off. It’s all about punishment, not science.

It’s how kids build their immune system, ugh. Will you be able to provide sterile environment for them their entire lives? What if they start going unmasked when they are in HS or College? They will be up for really rough times then with barely functioning immune systems or extreme allergies or worse.

Of course. Next ridiculous question?

This is going to be a contact tracing nightmare. They used to just contact trace at lunch, now it will be all day. Sucks for the unvaccinated kids, who I’m sure will be first to rip off their masks. Enjoy your 10 day quarantine! (5 days only apply if you wear a mask for the next 5 days.)

We don’t need contract tracing or quarantines for colds.

That’s funny. You think most schools are still contract tracing? They haven’t been and won’t start now.

Our schools are definitely contact tracing at lunch. Don’t kid yourself that your unmasked unvaxed child won’t have to quarantine.

Yes. I would never trust Youngkin’s take on public health after his handling at the Carlyle Group. I bet his son’s private school continues to require masks.

Mask people are a cult.

It does, and I bet it requires vaccines too.
