[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mask mandates don't work.

Masks (good, well-fitting ones) do work.[/quote]

Thank you. It's really very simple. [/quote]

OP here. Yes, this was my point, and I said it in my post. We know that a well-fitted N95 works. But people are right, it is too soon to tell. I just wish someone would actually study this data, since we have the fortuitous (form a research standpoint, not for the charter kids) situation of having schools of relatively similar demographics within the same community following different policies.

I think the point is more than an N95 mask works. The point is that what you give up by wearing one may or may not be worth what you give up in exchange. That's the disucssion that has to happen in schools, particluarly when the risk to kids from covid is so low. [/quote]

Here's a recent study from Italy on the cost of masking.
