[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. YLE had a good post this week about Covid and kids. There is a chart comparing hospitalizations by various age groups for RSV, flu, and Covid. RSV causes the most hospitalizations for under five. (The younger the kid, the greater the difference). I get that people have been hyper focused on Covid and are nervous. And I don’t think the middle of the omicron surge is the right time to get rid of masks. But I don’t want my kids masking forever. There will always be people saying they have kids who can’t be vaccinated (there isn’t going to be a vaccine for babies under 6 months) and school aged siblings will bring Covid home.

I want an option to unmask my fully vaccinated 5 yo that also just had COVID. This is ridiculous. He is learning to read and seeing faces is important. Many of just got COVID in this surge and are not cool with indefinite masking. No one knows when vaccines will drop for under 5. A couple weeks after peak and handle on hospitalizations is a good time for APS to drop the mandate. [/quote]
