Wow, I definitely think you will notice a difference between predominantly white schools, and predominately black schools. My school is 90+% black, everyone wore a mask.[/quote]

I noticed in my predominantly white ES that a much larger percentage of black students were masked than white. That makes sense to me, however. If your community has felt the effects more, and lives with a heightened sense of threat on a daily basis, you might easily be slower to unmask. Our black students who really never fully/effectively masked during the pandemic were unmasked today however.[/quote]

Yes, rich white people have seen it as a status symbol to be unafraid of COVID infection and its consequences.

"My children are not wearing a mask at school, because my family can afford to gamble the medical bills and lost productivity from long-COVID."

Again, CDC's "All green!" isn't about the likelihood of infection, but about the likelihood of hospital systems breaking down. It is a "Go on ahead and risk your and your employees' health for now, while you can! We'll let you know if and when we're on the brink of collapse and you can pull back then!" [/quote]

Actually, progressives, which in this area are disproportionately rich and white, are the group most afraid of Covid:

It remains true that several JKLMs seem to be the least masked schools in DCPS this week, including teachers.[/quote]

Well, they are the most vaccinated ones, so that makes sense.[/quote]

You know, OK. You can convince me that the rich white people at the broadly unmasked JKLMs believe that 2- and 3-shot series of COVID vaccine are sufficient to keep everyone in their household healthy and competitive for future college sports. You can convince me that the rich white people unmasking in dense public buildings daily are not showing off that they're fine with gambling on the risk of long-covid, but that they just don't even think of long-COVID. OK. I'm convinced.[/quote]

What are you trying to say? Yes, they do believe in science, and yes, they have the ability to evaluate risk rationally. "Gambling on the risk of Long Covid"? You clearly aren't of the rational or science-minded sort.[/quote]
Gaslighting heavy.[/quote]

You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.[/quote]

We know exactly what it means, and no, to that other poster, pointing out that sort of behavior doesn't require more than a couple of words.[/quote]
