[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like every time the CDC talks about "people" they are not including people under the age of 18.

“We must consider hospital capacity as an additional important barometer,” Walensky told the public during a White House Covid update Wednesday. “We want to give people a break from things like mask-wearing when these metrics are better, and then have the ability to reach for them again should things worsen,” she said.”

Hospitalization in DC is at an all time low. If there every was a time to relax masking in DC based on this statement its right now.  Seems like the Mayor agreed and she relaxed masking - except for students who apparently are not counted as "people"[/quote]

You have immediately been proven correct!

And meanwhile there is also this, which doesn't give me a lot of hope:

As long as people think like the mom quoted in the article, the insanity will continue. Note how she says: "When it comes to children particularly, you want to find a mask that's really comfortable and that's a good fit. So it's completely covering their nose and their mouth and there are no gaps -- because when the gaps occur, that's when the air leaking occurs too" -- As long as parents truly believe in this oxymoron of a mask - no air leaks, tight filter, but "really comfortable" to wear all day for a kid, we will not see progress.
