[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really seething over the CDC guidelines released today. I can’t believe we are going to make our kids wear masks for another school year while adults are able to be out at concerts, bars, etc. Ugh- I’m so angry!! My DD has enjoyed indoor camps and lots of fun summer activities mask-free and can’t believe she has to go back to a mask for school!

So… if my kids are required to keep wearing masks in school I’d like to find the thinnest possible ones. I’m not worried about the effectiveness. I’m not scared of COVID for my kids and it’s not their responsibility to keep the adults safe who have the choice of a vaccine. Anyone else looking for the bare minimum to meet the requirements?[/quote]

Why do you think kids will have to mask? Do you really think only 10 states will require masks on kids while the rest don’t?

“ At first read, it seems CDC is mandating masks in schools for those who are unvaccinated. At a minimum this means that all kids  under 12, because the vaccines are not authorized for this group yet, as well as those teens who have not yet gotten the vaccine. (CDC says those  under 2 don’t need masks.)

But a more close read reveals that CDC left a lot of nuance. In several places in the new guidance, CDC says that decisions on masking and other controls should be based on multiple factors, including level of community transmission, level of vaccination coverage in the community and local outbreaks.

Some might read this as problematic because it’s ambiguous, but it actually reflects the fact that the system needs this sort of flexibility because local conditions are vastly different.”

I am expecting masks to be recommended rather than required.
