[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way in hell I would send my baby to a daycare where the caregivers are masked all day long.  That absolutely will have long term effects on these kids. Also putting a mask on a young child and expecting them to wear it all day long is cruel.  [/quote]

I blame the CDC, not the parents. They are lacking in common sense, but honestly trying to follow public health guidelines while providing for their families.[/quote]

Yeah, find me a daycare where at least the caregivers aren’t wearing masks.  I really wish the CDC would update the guidance for kids though. How can we bring attention to this issue?[/quote]

Canada’s pediatricians are bringing it to the attention through public documents like this one:

The debate here is so toxic, many are afraid to speak up for children.[/quote]

Professionals need to speak to news media. Tracy Beth Hoeg and Monica Gandhi spoke up for kids regarding the unfounded 6 feet social distancing requirement, and the CDC did backtrack.

The problem with speaking up now is that the damage is done. The pandemic is nearing the end. There is a high professional cost to questioning masking, as you could be lumped in with fringe groups. So, they will just let it play out. One day, researchers will study the social development of 0-5 year olds that spent the majority of their waking hours without seeing facial expressions for an entire year.

I’m not afraid to speak up, but when I’ve mentioned it to the county they cite cdc as the reason for the requirement.  How do you get cdc to re-evaluate?[/quote][/quote]
