[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got an email about this on Tuesday saying this masks for the whole class for 10 days policy went into effect on Monday.[/quote]
FINALLY!!!
Seeing students and teachers still unmasked, and untested, after spending days unmasked with an unmasked positive was outrageous.[/quote]

Why? Everybody will get Covid eventually. They should tell the parents, and then those who are worried can send their kids in a high-quality mask. If they want to be extra careful, they can ask everybody to test on day five. But we can’t continue masking all kids for every Covid case in a class. Covid isn’t going away, and we’d be masking kids forever. Or what do you think the endgame is?[/quote]

Eventually? At the point, it's in number of times they will get it, and interval between infections. It isn't one and done. It's as many as your behavior gets you, and then it's a quite large risk of many of a quite long list of quite serious long-term ailments.

Wearing a mask for a couple of weeks after a case in the classroom absolutely beats organ failure or chronic fatigue.[/quote]

Of course we will all get it multiple times! But you have no evidence that there is a point to trying to reduce the number of infections you get over your lifetime. As with most viruses, subsequent infections will be milder than the first one.

Here’s a video from a specialist in evidence-based medical decision-making discussing this point:

Huh? There is absolutely no consensus on the notion that subsequent infections with covid would be milder than the first one.
A youtube video? From the board that demands RCTs to support masking indoors? Really?[/quote]
