[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes some people feel more comfortable, including teachers and other parents. If that's what it takes to have the kids back in school, I'm all for it! Plus hopefully fewer colds and flu.[/quote]

You will not have fewer colds or flu because people wear masks outside. Pure theater. But you’re right, if that is what it takes to get kids back in school, let people keep doing it.[/quote]

Why not? I've been chatting with parents at pickup and someone sneezes or coughs. We're not distanced. When it gets noisy, we stand about a foot apart to hear each other. They're probably not sick, but if they were, why are the masks not reducing the spread of viruses or cough/sneeze molecules?[/quote]

I’ve never talked to anyone at pickup from a one foot distance, nor has anyone ever coughed or sneezed on me. So no, I don’t believe that outdoor masking is going to have a meaningful impact on viral transmission between parents. [/quote]
