[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Noone is suggesting that kids should wear masks in school forever. But how about waiting until this omicron wave is over before sending your kids to school unmasked? What's another few weeks going to matter? [/quote]

We’ve been hearing this “it’s just 3 weeks” line for 2 years!

[b]CDC director said masks don’t protect.[/b]

Let people choice to wear — or not wear— a mask!

It’s not Federal law.[/quote]

Not accurate account of CDC director statement. 
It's Virginia Law.
It's CDC recommendations.
It's over when people stop getting sick and hospitalized at high rates.  No one can fully assure when that is of if and when there will be another variant.  I'm in support of metrics for assess when or when not we should use different public health measures (e.g., I supported the decision in the summer when numbers were low that masks were not needed among vaccinated people and I support the decision now that they are--because the numbers of cases and hospitalizations are very high).  
People don't get to choose whether or not to wear a seatbelt--it's the law because it protects them and protects society from the burden of having to provide them healthcare in accidents.  Protective actions that slow transmission of contagious disease are even more understandable.
