[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Covid denialism is rampant in this thread.

The new variants are extremely transmissible.  Your kid having had it in June won't prevent them from getting it again (and missing more school, and playing the long covid lottery again) in September.  You want a new teacher in your kid's classroom every month because you don't want them to mask?  That's a bad result teachers, but also a bad result for your kids.[/quote]

Wearing a mask didn't protect me kids teacher from getting covid and being out two weeks.  So yes, I'd prefer them not to mask and have my kid living in fear only to be out anyway.[/quote]

LOL your kid is afraid of people who wear masks? He/she is going to have a hard time for many more years then. [/quote]

It creates unnecessary fear in young children about dying from COVID. [/quote]

No, it teaches young kids the importance of caring about others and helping to protect themselves and others.  Kids have died of Covid.  It’s rare but it happens. [/quote]

You can be certain my homeroom group’s learning will emphasize caring for others, understanding that your choices effect those around you and in the community, and protecting those who are vulnerable even if it adds an extra step to your day. This includes masking. [/quote]

Masking people that aren't sick doesn't protect anyone. But it does spread a view that all children are vectors of disease and should be kept at arms length just in case. That doesn't sound that caring.[/quote]

Of course masking protects people who aren't sick, when they are in a room with people who are sick.  Why is masking so hard for people to understand?  It protects healthy people because they do not breathe in covid, or do not breathe in as much.  (Of course masking a sick person also keeps those people from breathing germs out, including those who are sick but don't know they're sick, or have been sent to school even if their parents know they're sick, which apparently is something that some parents do.)[/quote]
Must be hard to understand indeed. As proven by you.

It’s the other way around, by a significant 2-3 standard deviation margin. [/quote]
