[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]Lots of kids in KF94s and KN95s, especially at high school. But more than that, kids from families making risky masks decisions are likely to be making risky decisions everywhere else. And risk is cumulative to a point. Plus cloth masks may not protect your kid much, but the do help protect others. You might not care about protecting members of your school community. But many families do.[/i]

What in the world are you talking about? The [b]CDC[/b] guidance does not suggest mask wearing anymore for our area. Did you miss that change??

I'm as "true blue" as they come and my kids are not wearing masks anymore to school. They are fully vaccinated, all eligible have the booster, we've not been on an airplane or in a hotel since 2019, we've not eaten in a restaurant, I haven't returned to the gym, no indoor playdates, etc. And we are no longer wearing masks. Stop assuming you know someone's politics or how much they care about their community by their mask status.

Also, I think a lot of older kids who are keeping them are doing it because of perceived peer pressure. Or to hide their face, acne, etc. What's healthy about that?? [/quote]

Yep. My 8th grader planned on taking hers off yesterday, but everyone else kept theirs on so she did, too. That’s really the only reason.[/quote]
