Thanks for your insightful contribution! I bet you can't explain what the bullshit is and why, so you kept it brief, just popping in to insult without substance.

I have no clue where the narrative that cloth masks worked but against Omicron you need a KN/N95. Cloth masks have been proven time and time again to be as effective as no mask. Studies have shown this since before the pandemic.

NP but I have found that men in general are more willing to unmask, regardless of race.

I have been observing unmasking at the grocery store, and as far as I can tell there is no strong race or gender pattern. Not even really age, which is the one thing that would make sense, but I see elderly people unmasked as well.

I work in public health, there’s an uptick across the city, including in populations that have very little overlap with the student population.

There's an uptick because BA.2 is starting to become dominant. It's going to happen. Not clear that masks would prevent it, just like they didn't prevent the wave of BA.1 cases in December.

Pp here. Yes, I know. My point, badly made, was that the OP is hyperfocused on school specific cases when there is an overall rise in the city.

It did a pretty good job in the schools.

Of all the COVID denying arguments, this has to be the dumbest one. “Sure there’s a ton of cases in your school, which is a higher risk congregate setting, but those people probably all got COVID elsewhere!”

Not the claim being made. The claim clearly was that cases are up in schools because they are up everywhere (including places where masking did not recently change), as opposed to because masking in schools was recently dropped. As an example, my school is still masking, and we just had the first case in weeks. When COVID is being spread in the community, one of the places it may be spread is schools.
