If your kid started in 2020 like mine, they will gladly wear a mask to be on campus and actually able to go to class. No one likes it, but if it reduces spread and keeps the school open, responsible kids will do it.

Forced masking actually makes schools more likely to close, because it perpetuates a fear-based approach to covid that makes is more likely that schools will close instead of prioritizing their actual missions to educate in person.

Definitely some truth to this.

It’s not surprising for UCLA as the county is reinstating the indoor mask mandate due to very high Covid numbers. My DD is used to masking so it’s NBD.

Indoor masking to keep professors and vulnerable students save.

Professors can be vaccinated and double boosted if they choose to be. Students don’t need to make to keep them safe.

Professors cannot work if they get sick with covid. Vaccines help with symptoms not transmission so you need a new talking point.

Does that mean CA colleges will be eliminating the vaccine mandates? Yay!

No because CA college are smart enough to realize that vaccines help reduce symptoms and the severity of symptoms and help keep people out of hospitals, thus keeping our medical facilities available for people with other medical issues.

Without prevention of transmission, mandates violate medical ethics.

CA hospitals are not overwhelmed. Nowhere close to being overwhelmed. Just the other day, LA USC had only 10% of "covid" patients actually there *for* covid, and they have not had a case of covid pneumonia since Feb.

+1. These people are all supposed to be vaccinated. It's not the responsibility of other people to keep them "save."

This seems the perfect post to report/ announce/ brag that DC is not returning to UCLA this fall, and instead is heading to Texas and Rice. DC found that CA really is the land of fruits and nuts, as things like this prove.

So your DC can go to Texas and overwhelm the medical system there. Good for you

College kids were never overwhelming the medical system for having covid.

This sounds like forced reasoning. No one is talking about a full testing regime, just wearing a mask to prevent spread. It’s not that big of a deal.

I’m sure the UC schools all mandated vaccines and boosters already. So, this does seem absurd.

Agree completely

If this version of the virus were first and not the original version that was very dangerous, we wouldn’t even be worried about it. With treatment options and vaccines and a diminished virus, it’s simply time to move on.

The goal was never to prevent illness. It was to avoid overwhelming hospitals.

The goal of masking? Was to reduce hospitalization by preventing illness. Vaccines were intended to make illness less severe if not all together avoidable.

I thought the point of masking was to slow down the spread until we have a vaccine.

We now have vaccines. So when do we stop masking?

They’re only for unvaccinated people
