[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Surgeon General's family caught covid. If masks work, I would guess that he could have avoided it. [/quote]

They don't mask inside their house!  The preschooler got it at school and brought it home.  It's not about masks not working for adults or older kids.  Everyone kniws that little kids aren't going to madk perfectly.  Plus they have to unmask when eating or sleeping at preschool.

Your argument fails.

Masks DO help reduce the amount of innoculum.  They are not perfect, but they help.

The real question is whether we are at a level of infectiousness in Fairfax where masking is no longer needed or where the burden of masking outweighs the benegits given low incidence.

I think we are or will be soon.  [/quote]

K-12 kids take their masks off at lunch. By your logic, it’s pointless-like people have been saying.[/quote]

Masks reduce exposure, they don't eliminate it.

And you don't see a difference between exposure to a few kids near you at lunch vs exposure to hundreds of kids during the school day (high school) .

You don't see the difference between reducing the amount of exposure during 7 hours of contact while accepting 30 min of higher potential exposure (during meals) because starving is not an option?

If not, then masking isn't your biggest problem, low intelligence is.[/quote]

They can't possibly mitigate anything if everything else is open. Most transmission happens when eating, shouting or singing. Concerts are open, restaurants are open, major league sports are open. As a result, covid is everywhere. Why are kids the last mitigation measure for covid? [/quote]
