[quote=Anonymous]They'll definitely still be in place in the DC area. Covid vaccines for kids aren't likely to become available until early summer, even if the 3-dose trial goes well. Once available, it will stay take a couple of months to get a child fully vaccinated with three doses. Access to full vaccination has not been enough incentive to get rid of masks for 5-11 year old kids yet. Public health officials will be hesitant to take away any precautions during low-spread periods of time like summer because of concern that a new variant could arise or we could see a winter resurgence of cases. They will basically keep precautions up until there is no risk of a rise in cases. I'm very opposed to masks for young children, but also clear-eyed about the politics at play here. There is no benchmark or offramp for measures like this and in progressive cities, leaders are going to be extremely hesitant to drop them.[/quote]
