[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young children are lower risk than a vaccinated adult, and we now know they aren't experiencing long COVID in large numbers

They are at the same risk of getting Covid now.  [/quote]

Nobody cares who gets COVID. Lots of people are getting COVID. They say BA2 is almost as infectious as the measles so good luck evading that based on other kids wearing a cloth mask under their noses. What matters is who suffers severe illness, death or long term disability as a result of the infection. Very few young children do, to the point that flu and RSV pose similar risks so if you weren't demanding all people wear masks around your child because of those illnessnes pre-pandemic then you're not making a lot of sense.[/quote]

YOU don't care.  Some of us do.  And, masking makes common sense based off your post as it also protects agains flu and RSV.

I have older kids who still mask.  They know to stay away from people like you and they know decent people mask.[/quote]

If you're going to demand that people wear masks forever, I recommend that you start wearing your mask 8 hours a day for a couple of weeks, then come back and let us know if you still want to ask your children to do this for the rest of their lives.[/quote]

I wear a mask still as does my spouse.  We'd never go anywhere indoors without a mask.  We are still cautious.

No one is asking anyone to do it for the rest of their lives but my kids have no issues wearing a mask and get it keeps them healthy so they can continue to do their activities and the things they enjoy.  My kids probably would be willing to wear them for the rest of their lives as they are used to them and read/understand the seriousness of covid.  They also understand if they get it they can spread to a parent who already has long term health issues.   They know what its like to watch a parent suffer and they aren't able to do anything to help.[/quote]
