[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s just bureaucracy.  It’s slow to roll, and [b]no one was down with it in the middle of that surge last month.[/b]  I’m fine with them off now, except for in schools with preschools.[/quote]

Come back in a few weeks, OP.

I don't think people realize how high cases still are. We're still on par with the surge from last winter.

Except we’re all vaccinated, it’s a milder virus, and we have access to high quality masks. It’s not the same and it’s time end the mandate. [/quote]

Deaths just went up in VA. But I'm sure those were "milder" deaths. [/quote]

Deaths went up in VA due to the high number of unvaccinated people in the southern areas of the state.  The vast, vast majority of deaths could have been prevented by people getting vaccinated.  Plain and simple.  This is not a masking issue.  Yes, yes, I know that people in southern VA are not masking as well.  But studies have shown that most of the masks that people are wearing (non-N95-type masks) do not work well against the virus.  The key is vaccination.

It is time to let vaccinated students/staff opt out of masks.[/quote]
