Regarding these theoretical downsides to masking vs. the known risks of unfettered spread — the risk to children of hospitalization or death is far greater than other illnesses we take great effort to prevent. That line of thinking is a shimmy and a jump away from full-on anti-vax, congrats. More importantly, there are no therapeutics available for at-risk children under 12, and children under 5 still cannot be vaccinated. Until everyone has access to protection, it screams privilege to demand that everyone live their lives when many cannot. Schools must remain safe so that all students, not just the privileged ones, can attend. If N95s weren’t enough to protect the thousands of medical professionals who got sick while wearing PPE, I’m puzzled why you think K95s, which are not regulated because they’re not an OSHA certified work safety product, will protect high-risk children — especially when they’re still having maskless lunch indoors.[/quote]

This has got to be a joke. Look at DC Covid data and check out how many children aged 0-19 died of Covid in DC, across all wards, races, and socioeconomic classes. ZERO! Kids are at the lowest risk of hospitalization and death. Also check out the moderna vaccine study of 6700 kids. None (including on control) got seriously ill or required hospitalization. Our schools are safe from Covid but in danger from Covid zero people. It is endemic folks. Unless the whole world quarantines together for a few weeks, this bug isnt disappearing, but it also isn't as deadly given the safeguards we have available now. For adults, we have vaccines, free tests galore, free masks, hospital bed availability, and effective treatment protocols.
