[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have hoped that by now we would mention air ventilation, air filtration and masking as things that would actually help reduce transmission in the classrooms.  Covid is Airborne, we fight it by concentrating on keeping it out of the air, diluting it, or removing it from the air.

If you want your kid to have more time in the classroom, think about masking at least some of the time during this uptick in cases, so it doesn't increase to a full surge.

Ask your schools to make sure their ventilation is bringing in fresh air.  The CDC recommends 5 air changes an hour.  Fans and open windows help.  Air filters help when bringing in more fresh air is impossible.

We know the tools to keep kids healthy and in the classroom.  We just need to use them

Oh sure.

I’m going to force my kids to wear those ridiculous masks “some of the time” (when, exactly, pp? Totally arbitrary?) because THAT alone will prevent a “full surge!”

PP, you’ve gone off the deep end. Do you even hear yourself?[/quote]

I’m a DP.

The suggestions above seem perfectly reasonable. There’s nothing “deep end” about improving air filtration and *considering* a mask during a surge. Actually, this seems like the most reasonable and logical post I’ve seen on DCUM when it comes to Covid. It’s perfectly middle-of-the-road between being cautious and simply living life.

If reasonable is now “deep end,” then perhaps it’s time to reevaluate your own stance on this.[/quote]

Making your child wear a mask from time to time, maybe just on a whim or every second Thursday, believing that this stupidity will prevent a “full surge,” is the very definition of unreasonable [/quote]

I can’t reason with someone who jumps immediately to hyperbole and outrage. That’s not AT ALL what the PP said.

I don’t know how a simple mask managed to hurt you, but I do hope you find some peace.

Most kids don't mind.  Its the parents who are tantruming.[/quote]
