[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are still masking for the foreseeable future.

I tried talking to my kid this morning about treating everyone with the same kindness at school whether they were wearing a mask or not and he was legitimately offended, saying that people who were not wearing masks were failing to take care of the people in the community who had lower immunity levels or at risk people at home, and I said we would have to continue the conversation this evening (because, though I didn't say it, he wasn't really wrong and I don't know a great response to this argument).[/quote]

Similar. We’re struggling with language that won’t add to any conflict/confusion at school. If you come up with something, would love to hear it. Ours is in 1st. [/quote]

So you have filled your young child's head with judgmental and sanctimonious thoughts and now you're wondering what to say to them next to undo this.

Excellent parenting.

On the off chance you are serious, I would say to them that the scientists have said it's safe to unmask but some people may choose not to because of situations in their family or with their own health.  The end.

And stop putting your agenda on your young child.  It's so gross.[/quote]

That's not really correct, though.  People have been masking to protect everyone who is at risk, not just people in their own family or themselves.  So you're not correctly addressing the issue.  Maybe you can fudge things and say that CDC has said that transmission levels are low enough now that it is safer not to mask now than it was before.  But the risk you are averting is spreading the disease generally in the community, and is not limited to one's own family or oneself.[/quote]

Newsflash - masks did nothing. Absolutely nothing.  I'm sure you felt so noble masking, but bars and restaurants were wide open, people were all hanging outside of the only forced masking area, school.

You take your medical and scientific advice from bars and restaurants?  :shock: [/quote]
