[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Masking isn't really the slam dunk some people seem to think it is. We have incredibly high masking rates in Arlington, including in schools. Somehow, our Omicron curve looks exactly like everyone else's. [/quote]Schools were closed during most of that curve.  It was the result of unmasked holiday gatherings.

Anyone with a social circle right now can probably list a dozen instances of people catching covid in the last month from an unmasked social gathering.  It's rampant and unlike any other period during the pandemic.  At the same time, we haven't heard of whole classes catching omicron last week at school.  I think that would immediately change if kids unmasked and most parents know it.  (Some may be okay with that under the everyone-is-going-to-catch-it theory, but most aren't.)[/quote]

"Cloth masks are little more than facial decorations. There's no place for them in light of Omicron," said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen

Except in schools, where they are magical. Cases were shooting up before break started and kids are wearing cloth masks or poorly fitted surgical masks, for the most part. Somehow it has all been fine. [/quote]
