[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people seem to be in denial about the new reality.

Seat belts are forever.
Air bags are forever.
Safety helmets are forever.
Heck, even Driver's Licenses are forever.

As long as Covid is a "thing" - don't understand why anyone is against wearing a mask?  Apparently wearing masks not only works, but I'll bet you saw an overall drop in sick-days from the flu and other airborne-transmittable diseases.  You seem to believe that covid is "over" in the U.S., or perhaps that there's a magic shield that separates Montgomery County from the rest of reality?

What is amazing is this desperate, almost incomprehensible push to unmask BEFORE all U.S. children are vaccinated?  Why is that?  Why would someone be so absolutely desperate to push for unmasking U.S. children (a) prior to full U.S. vaccination and, (b) just before cold and flu season set in?

Please explain.  Would like to hear the very detailed rationale that doesn't involve self-absorbed vanity, support of political propaganda prior to mid-term elections, or someone just trying to do harm to this country?[/quote]

+1 It seems entirely prudent to wait until the children actually have access to the vaccine to make any broad decisions about this. We also don’t need to have a million speculative discussions prior. Let’s see how vax roll out and uptake goes, what rates look like locally once most/all families have had a reasonable chance to seek a vaccine for their children and then go from there. It is not hard to change the mandate when the time comes. It makes no sense at all to unmask randomly right now before children can be vaccinated. Especially when these long quarantines are still in place so even a mild or asymptomatic case is quite inconvenient and disruptive.[/quote]
