[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's fear-mongering to suggest that it can helpful to teach kids basic good hygiene principles (cough into your elbow, use a tissue, sanitize after you touch your snot or phlegm, be sure custodians or teachers clean surfaces regularly). These are basic public health practices that we've known for ages.[b] Now some people choose to mask when they are symptomatic, and that's fine, too. [/b]None of these things are required, but they can help minimize spread within a classroom, which is a closed environment with very, very close contact of 18-30 individuals.  That the flu spreads in the fall and winter is inevitable, but attending to hygiene and cleaning practices can [i]reduce[/i] the impact of illness on a class as a community. [/quote]

Symptomatic with the flu?!?  No, don't come to school.

Don't think some magic mask will keep everyone from getting sick, there are 14 randomized control trials saying that it won't (see post above).

Lastly, we need to remind people to tell kids to wash their hands and cough into their elbows?!? LOL  I'm sure that was the point of the poster here.  Probably was the same person posting here about monkey pox 3 months ago.[/quote]
