[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the folks who want masks need to keep their kids at home.  Seriously.  Every other day I get a school notice about Covid in my kids class.  This is WITH masking do yeah don't tell me masks are working.  At this rate it really doesn't matter since all the kids have already had it! So if you feel that insecure and that's your mask less kid faces huge risk of school in class you need to reevaluate and consider not going to school at all.  Because quite seriously the masks have done no good.  My own son who is very responsible about masking everywhere caught it.  Ironically his sister and parents who are admittedly lax did not test positive so consider this data point carefully.  [/quote]

Yep.  Our entire family - triple vaxxed and [b]always [/b]masked in school/office/public places - caught Covid over the holidays.  Enough with the masks, already.[/quote]

At this point they're asking vaccinated and have caught covid kids to wear masks all day - it's too much.  [/quote]

Yep. This is us, and until I see ANY proof that someone can catch Omicron twice, or a new variant comes out, masks should be optional. [/quote]

So what if you can catch omicron twice or 50 times? Masks should still be optional because they obviously don’t work to prevent it. [/quote]

"Obviously don't work?"  That's completely false.  A properly worn N95 or KN95 gives you hours of protection if you're standing next to someone who's contagious, as opposed to going maskless where it would take just 15 minutes or less for it to be transmitted.  Masks make perfect sense in stores etc.

And, there's absolutely no reason why someone who had omicron couldn't catch it a second time.  People who had delta and other variants caught it a second time.  Natural immunity isn't all it's cracked up to be.

But those who wear N95/KN95 masks are less likely to get it in the first place, and those who are boosted are far less likely to end up hospitalized or dead if they do end up getting it.[/quote]
