[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago will likely drop their indoor school mask mandate soon - like in the next 2 weeks,[/quote]

Do they have public pre-k in Chicago? I feel like Pre-K being in the building (and mostly 4 year olds unable to vaccinated in those room) is what will hold us back in DC from lifting it by the end of the school year. Even though there is very little to no mixing of Pre-K kids with the greater school population. Ugh.[/quote]

It would be completely non-sensical if this were to happen, because an unvaccinated pre-K student is more protected from COVID than a vaccinated adult.

I'll say it again -- the flu is more dangerous for pre-K kids than COVID, and yet somehow we managed to send kids to daycare and pre-K quite safely without masks before 2020.

There are very, very few places in the US and in the world that are requiring 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds to mask because it is idiotic. This was clear by mid-2020 to anyone with a brain paying attention to studies on COVID transmission and incidence.  [/quote]

NY is lifting the indoor mandate in schools except for those under 5. FFS[/quote]

if this happens here I will cry. I will also protest it, but the first thing I'll do is cry. I can't watch my 4 yr old, who has already spent all of PK3 and PK4 either in virtual or in a mask, spend another 6 months in a mask all day. I just cannot.[/quote]

Omg same.  Masking has no efficacy in preschools and the most potential for harm.  I’m all for dropping the mandate for all school children but it actually makes more sense to mask older kids than the younger ones, regardless of vaccination status.[/quote]
