Kids get sick. After two years of mandated masks, this year, kids will be sick more often.

MCPS is large. At any given time, lots of MCPS kids will be sick.

Because less kids in school is less learning for classes. Teachers will have to reteach a lot. For example, science teachers have a lot of work to do to teach children that their parents are stupid and wearing masks is not making more kids sick now.
Masks were never mandated and were always removed at lunch time or at breakfast.
The number of students and teachers out sick has always been tracked in MCPS and is always a known data point.

Masks weee most definitely mandated in MCPS. Where do you live?

Never. They were removed every day at indoor lunch. Children breathe at lunch. Virus spreads. No mandate to eat with masks on.

Yes, they didn't mandate the physically impossible, but they were mandated. I have no idea what your goal is in lying about recent history now, but we know you're lying.

We also know that anyone calling other people "stupid" shouldn't also use the phrase "less kids."

DP.

It's not physically impossible to mandate masks indoors. Lunch is eaten outside. Lots of schools did it and continue to do it. That's mandatory masking. It's keeping a mask on indoors at all times when intelligent people know that a pandemic spreads indoors in poorly ventilated rooms.

MCPS lied. They were the ones pretending like they were going to keep children safe when they had absolutely no intention to keep them safe. Wear a mask in the door and take it off inside? That's a farce and that's what happened. That's the truth. If you like believing fantasy, then keep pretending masks were mandatory. LOL.

MCPS is lying again right now and you don't even know it. Gullible MCPS we're #1 parents fall for the MCPS branding over and over again at the expense of their children.

How did MCPS lie? Parents demanded things be 100% back to normal pre covid. MCPS did what was asked of them and offered virtual for anyone who was still concerned. Now people like you are complaining when they were clear from the start of the return that there would be no precautions and back to normal.

You want MCPS to force kids to wear masks indoors at all times? Now? At this point in the pandemic? Even our high-ranking government officials aren’t advocating for masks on kids.

Why are you so anti-science. There is no good reason to force kids to wear masks indoors.

You are welcome to keep your kid in a mask as long as you choose! Good news, nobody is going to stop you.

How is it anti-science? Can you show us the studies behind that?

Let’s not forget that ZERO kids age 0-17 have died of Covid in Montgomery County since the beginning of this pandemic.

Why would you want to force kids to mask when kids are not dying from Covid now, and they never were. Feel free to advocate for mask mandates at nursing homes. But not at schools.

Mask mandates for kids are most definitely anti-science.

Sure, Donald. Kids with long term organ damage from COVID make you happy. Children have died from COVID, not that you care. In your imagination a school that is open, but empty of teachers and students is a win.

Then, clearly masking helps. This is not normal to have this many kids sick at once.

Are you serious? Do you understand how immunity works? Kids need to be exposed to germs to develop their immune systems. If you keep masking, it will only exacerbate the problem. I can't believe how idiotic your thought process is.

Are we still talking about masking? This is hilarious.

Sure, colds and sickness are inconvenient. But they are essential in order for kids to develop robust immune system. Forcing kids to mask (to avoid the usual childhood illnesses) does then a huge disservice in the long term.

Not that this should be a discussion arguing about masks, but just for our anti-masker friend:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/10/health/covid-schools-masks.html

A new study was just released about the effectiveness about masking. Obviously people shouldn't mask all the time when illness is lower, but there is an argument to be made that masking when incidences of illness (not just Covid but any respiratory illness) will reduce spread. Do what you want with that info. But don't spread anti science lies.

Hmm....the election is now behind us and the timing of the release of this study is interesting.

This study has flaws as it only shows correlation, not causation, as noted in the article. There are many other studies that will refute this one. I think at this point we all know that masks harmed kids in various ways and that masks should be a choice, not a mandate.

Kids have died in the us, although rare as have many adults who can contract it through kids however the discussion is not about deaths. So, please show us the studies. You cannot so you hide behind no kids have died.

Except not all kids develop a robust immune system and some of it is genetics. You also forget the impact when kids bring it home to the parents.

So what? That's no different than before covid. They just have to deal like they always have, and if that means wear a mask, THEY should wear one. My kids are done protecting the few compromised to their disadvantage.
