[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]those that did just can’t seem to let it go[/b].[/quote]

Exactly. It's clear it's not about public health. It's like it's become part of some parents/preschools' identity. It struck me when we were visiting open houses for preschools that the way they talked about masking, they didn't talk about following public health guidance, they didn't say they'd stop masking when it was no longer recommended. They just said "we require masks, don't worry the children wear them better than adults! You should expect we'll require masks next year."[/quote]

+1.  It’s now some bizarre mental health crisis.  [/quote]
