[quote=Anonymous]I keep seeing folks on this thread mentioning “anxiety issues.” I don’t have any particular anxiety around Covid, but illness has been terribly disruptive to me and the kids I teach. After getting a stomach bug and tonsillitis already in September, I went back to wearing a mask just so I don’t have the stress of feeling run-down or needing to take time off. I understand that families may feel that they need to send their mildly ill kids into school and that coughs can persist for some time without active viral infection. Masking is even more effective when sick folks wear them. It wasn’t a socially acceptable thing in this country before Covid, but we have the chance to shift the culture now. It’s far less burdensome and far more effective for sick kids to mask for a few days than for those who can’t afford to be sick to mask always. I’d love to take your word for it that your child is definitely Covid negative/not seriously ill, etc. Unfortunately, I have encountered far too many parents who outright lie or overly discount their kids’ symptoms.[/quote]
