[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we can keep everyone's attention on the fight against masks then they will not notice what's really going on.[/quote]

Inflation, Afghanistan, the Ukraine, higher rents, health care disparity,  crappy public school?    That’s what is really going on.  The failure of those promoting masks in areas where the benefits are minimal is just dumb.  I fail to understand why,  2 years in, we continue to force an imperfect remediation  measure on children for whom it has little to no benefit.  [/quote]

I will never get over why keeping schools closed or kids' activities restricted was more important than protecting those most at risk, including workers in factories, warehouses, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. throughout the pandemic. I'm pro-mask, but there is so much more that could have been done to keep low-wage and high-risk workers safer, including testing and providing free high-quality masks. Not only are we more concerned about restrictions on kids than we are protecting the vulnerable, but we use the poor COVID outcomes for the most vulnerable communities as continued justification for school restrictions.

I was ok with the restrictions on kids (for the most part) when everything else was restricted too (especially pre vaccine). At this point, in my area and many others, the ONLY restrictions are on kids (and certain large events like concerts). We don’t even have a mask mandate anymore. The whole thing makes no sense to me.
