[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this anger and the important point not discussed. Where is the offramp for this? Seriously? Omicron has proven not to be serious as we had thought (although of course you don't want it etc etc) and is about to peak or will in the next few weeks. Do some people want masks forever? What would be a good enough metric? I am curious because if you even bring it up then the very small group that dominates DCUM really goes off.  Most people are pretty much in the middle meaning they want safety but realize there needs to be an end point. These are not the people who are fighting with everyone. We are not getting anywhere with crazies on either end. I am supportive that the Governor is working through this. It makes sense. I am sure he realizes there will be all sorts of push back but maybe it will still help get things in the direction where there is an end to masking. Also agree no more cloth masks. Focus on kn95 while we still need the masks.[/quote]

I want an off-ramp as much as anyone.  I’m sick of masks in schools, but while Omicron is not as serious as Delta or the initial strain, it seems to be far more communicable. Youngkin is not proposing a moderate offramp.  He ripped the band-aid off in one fell swoop while things have not even peaked yet.  If he’d said, in 60 days schools and school districts can, depending on case load, elect whether to require masks or not, and/or after we drop below a certain caseload, then parents can decide, then we’d be having a different conversation. That isn’t what he did. He pandered to his Trumpian base on day 1 and acted irresponsibly.  I’d bet he’s running for POTUS in 2024.  He’ll be in his 3rd year of his term and VA has a 1 term limit.  This shores up enough lunatic fringe support to further that goal.[/quote]
