[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My preschooler does not struggle with this at all. Kids pick up on your attitude- is it just the slightest bit possible your dismissal of masks is influencing how they behave around you regarding masks?

As for when it ends, it ends when we’ve gotten to the point that our doctors, hospitals, and urgent cares are not completely overwhelmed with disease, so we can handle the odd case of severe COVID or flu in a kid and also have room for the appendectomies, tonsillectomies, broken bones, and cancer surgeries. Maybe we’re not overloaded locally at this very minute (although you try to get a same day sick appointment), but by the time we are it’s two weeks too late as the south has amply demonstrated for us this summer.

People who keep citing Europe ignore a lot of factors. Americans as a population are sicker and fatter. We don’t have a glorious wrap around safety net. People without means go to work spreading COVID every day because they have no choice and don’t go to the hospital or get tested until they have no choice. Our hospitals and supply chain are designed to operate to pretty close to max/real-time. This is the price we pay for that. [/quote]

There is a long way between Florida this summer and letting kids take their masks off at recess.  [/quote]

Of course. Maybe I’m late to the discussion here, but the thread title is about the masking off ramp. And there’s plenty of people that are questioning the need for masks at all. I agree kids shouldn’t be wearing them inside unless they are all over each other the whole time. Teachers need to figure it out. [/quote]

Gah, I meant *outside*.[/quote]
