[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why my preschool child must wear a mask, at a school where all adults are required to be vaccinated, in a city with a high rate of vaccination?

Like is my kids mask protecting unvaccinated people in Montana or something? I don’t get it.[/quote]

It’s protecting unvaccinated kids from getting and spreading it. It’s keeping classrooms open and preventing long quarantines. It’s preventing kids from bringing it home to more vulnerable family members who may be vaccinated but still at risk. And, perhaps most importantly, it’s protecting their teachers who’ve had to come to school around unvaccinated kids day in and day out for two years despite breakthrough cases and vaccine resistant variants.

I'm curious - to parents who are strongly in favor of 2-3 year olds wearing masks, have you verified that your children are wearing masks correctly for the entire time they are at preschool/daycare? My 2.5 year old is required to wear a mask at her daycare, but I am under no illusion that the KF94 mask she wears every day is preventing her from getting (or spreading) Covid. Her daycare shares many pictures with us, and in most of them her mask is not covering her nose. And she's contracted many colds/viruses despite having to wear a mask. I'm not going to fall on my sword about mask wearing for this age group, but it seems to me to be more theater than a truly effective mitigation measure in preschools/daycares.[/quote]
