[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our preschool just informed us that they will be insisting on masking until the under 5s are vaccine eligible, due to parental paranoia.  [/quote]

Yeah I think this is one of those things that has become so hard to undo once started.  The original directive to not mask under 2 for safety reasons never should have evolved into you-must-mask-at-age-2.  I’d like to think the people responsible for this would have paused had they known how long this would go on.  Maybe not.  Many areas never adopted toddler masking to begin with but those that did just can’t seem to let it go.[/quote]

Yes.  I feel like I'm always mentioning that the WHO, UNICEF, the European CDC all recommend against masking children 5 and under but it's just an echo chamber for those who agree with me.  2+ is the norm here and many people aren't prepared to question it -- either you're pro-mask or you're anti-mask.

I HOPE that if we can just get centers to drop toddler masking, by the time next winter rolls around and cases surge, perhaps there will be less of an appetite for it.  I'm okay with masking older children through surges but not toddlers and preschoolers.[/quote]
