[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: are there studies that show masking kids in schools work? Like, is spread or hospitalization lower in communities that have a mask mandate? I guess it’s hard to compare apples to apples because vaccination rates vary by state a lot.

Anyway - seems like an important thing to know. [/quote]

Doesn’t matter. People are obsessed with masking. Originally the idea had merit before vaccines and availability of quality masks that protect the wearer. People were encouraged to protect each other. Small price to pay during uncertain times. Now we have vaccines and N95s and better understanding. People can protect themselves now. Add in omicrons mild nature and we should open things up entirely including our faces.

But people are still stuck in November 2020. If they followed the science to 2022, they’d see we are ready to move forward without mandates.

[b]Are these people really going to drop masks next school year when the inevitable spike happens and the measure has expired?[/b][/quote]

Nope, they will continue screaming for masking to continue.  They said themselves that masks are just "a piece of paper" (and many students are wearing even less helpful "pieces of cloth").  So even though it is vaccines that are helping us deal with Covid, they continue to cling to their masks.[/quote]
