So what happens when Covid is endemic and cases start to rise again during cold and flu season next school year.  Mask mandate again from Oct through March?[/quote]

Maybe?   None of us can foresee life ten months from now.  Is it possible that we'll become a society that masks up for periods of time here and there? Maybe it remains optional but you'll always have one in your pocket because some businesses may require it during times of surge, people wear them more on mass transit or rather than shutting a school down due to an uptick in cases the school says "ok, everyone mask up for the next month".  Who knows? Is that the end of the world for you?

Or maybe they'll be gone for good because it's truly endemic, antiviral treatments abound and masks aren't necessary.  That would be great, I'd like to think that's where we'll be, but the last two years have taught me to manage expectations.[/quote]

But don't you get it?  The majority of parents are not going to go for mandatory masking in schools [b]for years on end[/b].  People will vote on this one particular issue and swing VA back to red.[/quote]

You seem fixated on "for years on end".

Look at the positives - might help with your anxiety. 
- vaccines and boosters are available for k-12 (weren't available at the start of school)
- numbers are coming down
- latest strain seems to have lower hospitalization rates (albeit more contagious)

Try to move on - this isn't healthy.

What is more unhealthy is you being a covid denier to mask your anxiety.[/quote]
