[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Lafayette there were maybe 2-3 masked kids per room, everyone else had them off. [/quote]

Wow, I definitely think you will notice a difference between predominantly white schools, and predominately black schools. My school is 90+% black, everyone wore a mask.[/quote]

I noticed in my predominantly white ES that a much larger percentage of black students were masked than white. That makes sense to me, however. If your community has felt the effects more, and lives with a heightened sense of threat on a daily basis, you might easily be slower to unmask. Our black students who really never fully/effectively masked during the pandemic were unmasked today however.[/quote]

Yes, rich white people have seen it as a status symbol to be unafraid of COVID infection and its consequences.

"My children are not wearing a mask at school, because my family can afford to gamble the medical bills and lost productivity from long-COVID."

Again, CDC's "All green!" isn't about the likelihood of infection, but about the likelihood of hospital systems breaking down. It is a "Go on ahead and risk your and your employees' health for now, while you can! We'll let you know if and when we're on the brink of collapse and you can pull back then!" [/quote]

The free and easily available vaccine is a status symbol?  Mmm hmm. [/quote]
The free and available 3-soon to be 4- shot vaccine course will keep you alive, which is substantial, but doesn't eliminate the risk of long-covid. [/quote]

Long Covid is rare in vaccinated people. Also, nothing eliminates all risk. Are you striving for a risk-free life? There are many risks much greater than that of Long Covid in a vaccinated person that you probably don't even think about.

You must fit exactly the profile of the most Covid anxious discussed in this article:
