It’s happening again.
I do worry that DC will be next in defying CDC guidance again.
AU and GW just reintroduced mask mandates.

I wonder if this will start to affect the quality of students that matriculate there in the fall. Outside of NY/DC/San Fran everyone else is over wearing masks. I wouldn’t matriculate at GW in the fall due to masking.

I saw that. Too many people have lost their minds.

It sure would be cruel to take away the kids’ newfound freedom just as they are getting used to it…
Considering that DC is approaching the yellow zone on the NEW adjusted CDC map, it’s not so much taking something away from kids as much as it is we’re in a literal pandemic, did you not get the memo? This is the inevitable outcome of removing masks when there is substantial community transmission of a highly contagious, airborne virus.
do you people really still believe that mask mandates are the reason for surges/declines in cases? Really??
When you are part of the cult, you will believe that forever.
You will also believe that it is imperative to do everything we can, no matter the costs, to try to stop the spread, even if the past two years have clearly shown (especially when you look at countries with “zero Covid” policies) that it’s absolutely futile and the virus will inevitably catch up and find everyone who is susceptible eventually. This is why the CDC has now started to focus on hospitalizations, because it is the only thing that makes sense. Kids are not the ones who will overwhelm hospitals, so forcing them to mask makes little sense, plus mask mandates in schools are not supported by solid evidence, so countries all over the world have stopped doing it or never did. It would be beyond foolish to reinstate a school mask mandate at this point.

Yep. Just as embarrassing and anti-science.
Oh FFS. You have no clue what the actual, applicable data says. Many, many leading experts have criticized the CDC and its guidance, and recommended continued masking:
Dr. Peter Hotez, Texas Children's Hospital, Director of Center for Vaccine Development, creator of patent-free covid vaccine
Dr. Jerome Adams, 20th US Surgeon General
Epidemiologist Dr. Michael Mina, formerly of Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health, and director of Harvard Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, now Chief Science Officer of eMed.
Dr. Gregg Gonsalves, PhD, professor of Epidemiology (Microbial Diseases)
Dr. Mark Kline, Physician in Chief, Children's Hospital of New Orleans
Dr. David Gorski, surgeon, editor of Science-Based Medicine
Dr Ellie Murray, epidemiology assistant professor, Boston University
Dr. Kimberly Prather, Director of Center for Aerosol Impacts
Dr. Jose-Luis Jimenez, chemistry professor, leading expert in aerosols, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder
Oni Blackstock, pcp/HIV physician, Founder/Exec. Director, HealthJustice
Dr. Benjamin Neuman, Texas A&M University, chief virologist at its Global Health Research Complex
Dr. Jonathan Reiner, Professor of Medicine and Surgery, GWU
Anne Sosin, Policy Fellow, Global health & rural health equity, Dartmouth College
Mindy Fullilove, MD, The New School
Josh Garoon, PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Elaine A. Hills, PhD, Public Health Scientist
Jeoffry B. Gordon, MD, MPH, California Physicians Alliance
Dannie Ritchie, MD, MPH, Brown University, Community Health Innovations of Rhode Island
Kaliris Y. Salas-Ramirez, PhD, The City College of New York
Sam Friedman, PhD, NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Robert G. Wallace, PhD, Pandemic Research for the People
Edgar Rivera Colon, PhD, USC Keck School of Medicine
Even the American Medical Association said the new isolation quarantine guidance was confusing and risked further spreading covid, and just last month urged continued masking.
You are welcome to listen to these people and continue to mask so you can protect yourself. I will continue to not mask since I am vaccinated and just had COVID. I think it's insane that my vaccinated kid who also just had covid has to mask at school. No one is trying to stop people from masking, but may of us want the option to remove them because we feel like there is enough evidence to support it. Our charter will be the last place in America to drop masks.
When your child had covid, they easily could have spread it to other kids. Saying you are vaccinated helps with your child health, not others. Clearly being vaccinated alone isn't enough or your child would not have gotten covid.
But study after study shows that kids don’t really transit the virus at school. It’s possible but rare. There comes a point when the costs of masking to young children outweigh the benefits, particularly when kids are at extremely low risk for hospitalization and death from covid, even unvaccinated. Add to that that many kids can be vaccinated, and high risk kids can wear a kn95.

NP. So mask your kid. What’s the problem?

LAMB grants exceptions on what basis? This is interesting to hear, but I’d be nervous about my family being judged very harshly by other parents, teachers, and the administration if we asked for and were granted an exception for my kid.

Only a matter of time until LAMB re-institutes outdoor masking.
