[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire 28 page thread started bc no adults wanted to mask, and now they don’t. But the upshot of the new guidance is that no 12+ year old has to mask (and none do - even though we know well that not all 12+ year olds are even close to fully vaccinated) and unvaccinated kids are just supposed to mask, but it’s not required. That is a recipe for disaster. It is really weird to me how this thread has veered off the rails. [/quote]

On our team they aren’t supposed to. We don’t have that rule and all are fine with it. We have a few that choose to mask anyway. Again, this is a problem with these area and Virginia because kids were living this normal life last summer elsewhere. And didn’t necessarily get covid.

And people are pointing out that the cases are low but also a sick person would have to be at any of these swim meets at any given day and spread it and there is no guarantee of either scenario.

It seems that the people have decided how to still keep their kids at low risk so that’s what is important. [/quote]

NVSL rules are that sub-11 year olds should mask when not swimming and when distance isn’t possible. Are you at an NVSL pool?[/quote]

Yup. And so far our A meet and large B meet last night was maskless. [/quote]

yes- I think everyone has taken 'should' as a suggestion- not a mandate- given that 'must' was specifically and definitely voted down.  I actually think it was fairly nervy of the NVSL exec board to write 'should' given the vote on 'must.'     There is more and more evidence emerging that the mask mandates and distancing rqmts are causing sig trauma to kids.  This is a weighing of risk situation.  With 1) outdoor settings; 2) less than 1 in 100,000 cases in the area- I am opting for mental health.  Anyone else can weigh that risk differently- but all of the COVID restrictions and paranoia do have actual costs.[/quote]
