[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to my child. Had an asthma-like attack the other day while running for a sport with a mask. My child cannot continue to participate in said sport the same way as long as masks are required. My child cannot participate in some activities in practice and must take more frequent breaks.

But you need to look at this on the level of individual versus societal risk. The greater good is that risk of transmission in a community goes down.

What happened was downright scary for my child but I still think MSI's position is the right one.[/quote]

Your child could definitely qualify for a medical exemption. I would talk to your pediatrician. I wouldn’t go for the greater good if it’s harming my child, sorry. My daughters are playing in very lightweight masks and have been fine so far. But if something like this happened I would not hesitate to get a medical exemption.[/quote]

So screw the greater good if Mia and Peyton can't manage to wear a mask? Congratulations, you are what's wrong with America. If someone can't wear a mask, for either medical or political reasons, then the simple solution is that person doesn't get to participate in society, or in this case a particular activity, for a few months.

My kid doesn't like shin guards. But he wears them, because it's required to play. He can choose not to wear them, and perhaps I can whine to his doctor that his little tootsies hurt and try get a note, but it won't do a damn thing. Wear the required safety gear or go home.[/quote]

Hey - For everyone who has an opinion here - I highly encourage you to go put on a well fitting mask and then run around the block a few times.  Your opinion about whether or not a child (who may not be able to self-monitor their breathing) should participate in strenuous aerobic activity - might change...  This is a unique circumstance - the kids are outdoors and they are being extremely active - and they are being asked to limit their ability to breath while doing so - there is a reason why the medical and scientific advisors (WHO, CDC, and now Dr. Gayles have changed their position).  Keep your politics to yourself - focus on the overall well being of your kids.  Now go for a run - and see for yourself![/quote]
