[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to answer the original question:  if the General Assembly passes the new measure and it is signed into law, and assuming no court challenges that result in the new measure being enjoined, I would probably still send my kids in with masks for a while, to get past the (currently declining) surge and to get past various doctors appointments over the next few weeks that we don’t want to have to reschedule if our kids get COVID. After that, we would probably leave it up to our kids to decide (they are in middle and high school), though I suspect that they will want to continue to wear masks for a while because it’s no big deal to them and they would like to minimize their chances of getting sick. We recognize the need for an off ramp—but we also think that the masks really have been a small price to pay to get through the pandemic. [/quote]

Let me translate what you really mean—-

I would still force my DD to wear a mask until I figure out what other parents are doing. I am terrified of being accused of being a Trumper or having voted for Youngkin than I have ever been of covid! As long as I see some of my friends allowing their kids to remove their masks, then it will be ok for my kid to do the same.[/quote]

You don’t need to put words in my mouth—my post speaks for itself. After the upcoming appointments over the next few weeks, I’ll let my sons decide what to do. While I suspect I know what they will decide, I’m comfortable with them making their own decisions. Just as they currently do on settings where masks aren’t mandatory—one chooses to wear them because he prefers it; the other is more reluctant. [/quote]
