[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Masks should come off kids who are vaccinated.

Kids who aren't vaccinated can unmask once community rates are below X, assuming "X" is based on science and not some random impossible number. There will always be covid cases floating around.

That would work after vaccines are mandated, but until then it's not enforceable.

Why wouldn't it be enforceable?[/quote]

How would teachers know who is vaccinated or not? You expect teachers to track all of that?

Until vaccines are mandated, masks come off everyone after community transmission levels are low (blue).

It's not that hard to keep track of.  Bosses did it for their workforce from May through July when we could voluntarily show proof of vaccination in order to not wear a mask at work.  It's just not that hard.  To be clear, I agree that a vaccine mandate is ideal, but I think it could be a long long ways off.  I don't accept that something is "not enforceable" [b]just because it's hard(ish)[/b].[/quote]

And it's exactly this kind of thinking that is the reason we had virtual school almost all of last year. Ask the school system to be even mildly adaptive to hardship and they throw up their hands. Learned helplessness. [/quote]

They adapted by having kids back in person, masked, until community transmission reaches, and maintains, the objectively quantified Low level, which has not happened yet — thus masks.[/quote]
