[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The changes have not been consistent. This has been discussed ad nauseum. When Northam was Governor (taking VA) then everything was about what he dictated. With Younkin it is a flat out no until the state passed law to support what he said. There was a whole temper tantrum on that. Again read all the posts on this. I have watched as an outsider, and I don't like this. This feels very political and not scientific. I predict that even with the CDC news there will still be resistance. My kids are older and can deal with the masks but for little kids, if I was a little kid parent, I would be upset. The foggy glasses, the anxiety. For every kid who says no problem, there are five who have trouble with the masks. Time to support kids.[/quote]

I don't want to get into the debate about whether a HS student should wear a mask.
As a parent who has a DC in PK4 -- what is frustrating is that the CDC is issuing this change without providing the access to vaccine for little kids. I get it, some will say the risk of death is small for kids. But hey 1000+ kids died and I watched my neighbor's otherwise healthy 3-yr old sent to hospital by ambulance on Christmas.[/quote]

I have a PK4 and a newborn. I will make my PK4 mask for another month until we’re out of the newborn stage. After that I’ll leave it up to him, and I have a feeling he’ll opt out, which is perfectly fine with me. I’ll keep masking in stores and do take out instead of dine in because it doesn’t really affect me. But I do think masks affect young kids’ socialization skills. Anybody who wants to keep masking to protect themselves or their high risk loved ones should absolutely continue to do so. Others should have the freedom to drop them. Neither side should be looked down upon IMO.[/quote]
