Flu?

[Anonymous]

Symptomatic with the flu?!? No, don't come to school.

Symptomatic as in coughing or sneezing but no symptoms so severe as to keep your child home. You seem to be missing the point, nobody cares if you mask and nobody is telling you to. Some people might choose to, and that’s fine. No skin off my back if other people mask themselves or their children.

Masks need to go away here in Northern Virginia. They're non-existent in Europe and very rare in much of the United States.

I understand they're a political statement here, but just wear a button or something else, and stop the dystopian masking. If someone loves masking, I'd recommend Afghanistan.

People have snotty noses all winter. If you have a fever, stay home for 24 hours. If not, go to school.

You certainly don’t need to keep kids home to keep them from getting sick. You need to expect communities to care about people. But the community typically only care about themselves. Before, during and after Covid. Community goes out and about when they are sick with a great big “f” you to everyone else. And the rest of the community justifiers other’s selfish behavior.

Decent people care about public health.

Thinking there is no way to stop illness is so American.

Public Health 101 is not blaming people for the spread of infectious diseases. The same type of mindset blamed gay people for the spread of AIDS in the 1980s.

Sounds like you have a problem with human beings being humans. Humans are social animals. That is human nature (just as it is for humans to have sex). And there are mental health problems when you humans don't do those things like socializing.

So you’re against condoms to prevent SDTs?

Whatever happened to monkeypox spreading wild in schools? I remember people were fearmongering that just a few months ago

Stop trying to make “monkey pox” happen, Gretchen Weiner.

"We did not consider the use of respirators in the community. Respirators are tight-fitting masks that can protect the wearer from fine particles (37) and should provide better protection against influenza virus exposures when properly worn because of higher filtration efficiency."

This is a quote from the article you posted PP did you not read it? Wearing a high quality mask like a kn94 or n95 should protect you from the flu. Covid is more contagious.

Oh god, here we go again. I knew the OP was still part of those 10% of mask wearers dead enders by the subject matters.

14 randomized control trials - 14! - prior to COVID showed that masks didn't make a difference with the flu.

These same people would be calling for kids to be forced masked again in school if it wasn't for the fact there's a law forbidding it in VA.

Well I'm immune compromised and somehow I don't think wearing a button will protect me quite as well as my mask. But, I'm sure you don't care because me wearing my mask clearly bothers you that much. You're probably the jerk who sends your kids to school sick and amped up on cough medicine to get everyone else sick.

Yep, +1 to both these things. Masks at this point are political statement, good grief.

I mean it's ridiculous to think that masks are a political statement at this point, when the vast majority of people aren't wearing them.

Weird that this unhinged poster keeps trying to tell me that my mask - which I NEED to wear because I'm immune compromised - is a political statement. Umm, no, it's just not. I HAVE to wear it for medical reasons. What's so weird to me is that it bothers trolls like him so much.

I'm a different poster but please Shut up. You sound ridiculous. People can not want their families to be sick.

Please define immune compromised. Did you just have an organ transplant? Are you getting chemo? Or do you just have asthma?

And stop with the blaming people for spread of diseases. It's absolutely disgusting.

This person is actually doing a community service, clearing up misinformation about masks and the flu. It's clear that OP wants to not follow the science and spread such misinformation that masks help with the flu.
