See the picture yesterday with Tim Kaine. He's not wearing a mask, while Barbara Kanninen and Duran are. Really pathetic.

COVID is going away. These people are pushing lifetime masking.

COVID is NEVER going away is what I meant to say.

No sh1t. Certainly not with people running around like idiots.

We know it’s here to stay. So when #s go up, we mask up and do fewer indoor events. When #s go down, we go mostly back to normal. I think many people will mask up at doctor’s offices, etc going forward.

It’s not that complicated.

This is an argument for lifetime masking. What a dystopian world.

FYI - Arlington is at medium level now, and even with the CDC's completely arbitrary guidelines, they're not recommending people wear masks.

Kids are having mental health problems in Arlington and elsewhere, but we're not hearing of any where school has been normal all this year. There's a reason why humans don't wear masks.

It’s masking when needed. High levels of covid, flu, whatever.

It’s a mask. They work.

You may want to talk to a doctor about your irrational fear of masks. It’s concerning.

Lifetime, forever masking -> people have lost their minds

We've know for 100+ years that masks don't work for the flu. There's 14 random control trials on in the last few decades. You need to follow the science.

The random control trial for COVID showed cloth didn't work and surgical barely did for those over 50. Thus, kids in paw patrol masks that are barely on their nose do 0. Again, you need to follow the science.

1/2 the kids who are masking are wearing a surgical or cloth mask, which shows me their parents don't know anything and are just sheep. Sad for such a well-educated county.

Some of us have figured out how to buy high quality masks. Sorry you have been unable to do this.

This.

Truth.

Why on earth would I buy any mask for my child? The risk of mortality is lower than the flu or RSV.

The largest risk to my child is them not returning to normal, and mental health issues from forced masking. I look at these kids forced masked now at elementary school pick up with pity, as they're being robbed of so much by their hypochondriac parents.

Please post your actual evidence of mental health issues from masking. We'd all love to see it.

This times a million. Quarantine was very hard and caused mental health problems. Masks? No. But I’m here for the dramatic posts by this poster because they make me laugh. “The horror of masks! Our children are going to be scared forever from masks, not the COVID virus which is proven to affect multiple bodily systems including the cardiovascular and neurological systems.”

Didn’t TSA and airlines report that violent and other reportable incidents went down four fold once mask mandate was lifted?

I’m not sure why this obsession with masks as a major factor in whether school will be normal next year or not. People who want to wear them do and no one else does. I’m a specials teacher in APS and spend part of my week at a middle school and part at an elementary school. Masks are totally normal to kids and teachers—just no big deal if you choose to wear one or not. Things continuing on exactly like they are now will not impact how normal or not normal next year is.

Some positives for next year: administration has put a lot of work into getting the students who were still virtual all set to be back in the building. Coordinating with Virtual Virginia made this year still feel abnormal to some teachers. And as knowing that some friends were still doing school from home did have a bit of an impact on some students. Group events like assemblies and concerts have come back, which is awesome. I think lockers will come back into use at the middle schools and high schools where they were not used this year. In my schools, things generally feel very normal.

Staffing is still a big problem. I’ve been a teacher for a long time and there have been extremely lean years before, but this is a bit worse. This year, the group that suffered most was special education, and unless they suddenly manage to hire a lot of assistants over the summer, next year will be rough.

APS won’t be normal until all school boards that kept schools closed for a year, despite guidance from the CDC, are purged.

It reflects poorly on any community that does run these people out of town.

Tell me whatever elite schools, agencies, and titles you have to your credit.

Your children didn’t attend school, and your political masters did. Everywhere else we call that a sucker.

Misinformation. Something like 80% of people have had COVID now, many multiple times (see Justin Trudeau). Hilarious some people in Arlington believe this Eric Feigl-Ding anti-scientific fear porn.

COVIDians really are in a cult. Meanwhile, the vast majority of people have returned to normal. Must be lonely for them.

The prior commenter referred to "people running around like idiots" as the 90% of people who have returned to normal. Wow - some whackos are forever maskers who never want to return to normal (COVID is never going away).

I can imagine these people's kids are the ones with mental healthy problems already. These are kids who will later disown their parents when they realize their parents robbed them of a normal childhood for years.

Ok arbiter of "normal," where do you draw the line? Do kids in wheelchairs have normal childhoods? How about kids who have another physical deformity and have something visible on them all day? Kids who have special diets and can't eat the same foods around their friends, foods that are considered "normal."

I just want insight into your brand of idiocy for consistency's sake.

+1 My kid (who wears a mask) plays sports, plays with friends, goes to school. etc. I even saw them and their friends making funning faces at each other. They were all laughing hysterically at each other, even at the funny faces my masked child was making (lots of hand gestures and silliness all around). What exactly is my child missing?

You really don’t think it’s possible that there are downsides to not displaying or seeing most of your/someone else’s face? Bizarre.

Jfc are you the same person each time with this argument? Stop projecting. You offer no new insight to this.

No, I’m new. I am interested in an honest answer to that question, though. Kids (especially vaccinated kids!) are incredibly low risk for bad Covid outcomes. Teachers are vaccinated. I just don’t understand why some people insist on having their kids wear masks in this environment and deny that there could be any downsides when seeing faces has been the norm here forever.

Seems like you are not familiar with the studies that keep coming out showing bad things happening to people who had covid some time after their initial symptoms resolve. Including to kids. I mean, believe what you want, but it's clear to many that not getting covid, or getting it as little as possible, is a better approach than giving up and surrendering to recursive covid forever and ever amen because, what, you're too snowflakey for masks? Good luck with that.

Misinformation - loved the study that showed the most common pre-existing conditions from Long COVID sufferers was being female and having a history of anxiety. There's a reason so many Long COVID sufferers are affluent middle-aged suburban white women.

These are COVID forever people, like Ventilation Woman (who's now mad Wakefield kids had pre- and post-prom parties, but says nothing about bars and restaurants being packed with adults every night). Is this how you want to live your life forever? There's a reason why 90% of people have moved on now.

Time for you flat-earther, 10%ers who don't want to give up your masks to finally do so. COVID is never going away.

Wow. Still obsessed with her after all of this time.

Where's that NAMI link again? Can they help this person with this weird unhealthy obsession?

That "the wimmens are just anxious" study didn't actually take any of the tests that are actually showing physical causes for the symptoms folks were complaining about, e.g., their bodies were only absorbing 50% of the oxygen in their blood instead of the normal 75% ratio. You won't find real results if you don't take the right tests. Other studies are showing a correlation with physical symptoms not tied to anxiety.

You guys are so weird. Why would you care if other people want to wear masks so as not to get infected over and over? Like, it's not enough for you that masks aren't mandated anymore, now you need to force other people not to wear them, so we can all get infected same as you? Hope you enjoy your decisions 2 years from now.

I just don’t understand why some people insist on having their kids wear masks in this environment and deny that there could be any downsides when seeing faces has been the norm here forever.

Seems like you are not familiar with the studies that keep coming out showing bad things happening to people who had covid some time after their initial symptoms resolve. Including to kids. I mean, believe what you want, but it's clear to many that not getting covid, or getting it as little as possible, is a better approach than giving up and surrendering to recursive covid forever and ever amen because, what, you're too snowflakey for masks? Good luck with that.

See the picture yesterday with Tim Kaine. He's not wearing a mask, while Barbara Kanninen and Duran are. Really pathetic.

COVID is going away. These people are pushing lifetime masking.

COVID is NEVER going away is what I meant to say.

No sh1t. Certainly not with people running around like idiots.

We know it’s here to stay. So when #s go up, we mask up and do fewer indoor events. When #s go down, we go mostly back to normal. I think many people will mask up at doctor’s offices, etc going forward.

It’s not that complicated.

This is an argument for lifetime masking. What a dystopian world.

FYI - Arlington is at medium level now, and even with the CDC's completely arbitrary guidelines, they're not recommending people wear masks.

Kids are having mental health problems in Arlington and elsewhere, but we're not hearing of any where school has been normal all this year. There's a reason why humans don't wear masks.

The prior commenter referred to "people running around like idiots" as the 90% of people who have returned to normal. Wow - some whackos are forever maskers who never want to return to normal (COVID is never going away).

I can imagine these people's kids are the ones with mental healthy problems already. These are kids who will later disown their parents when they realize their parents robbed them of a normal childhood for years.

Ok arbiter of "normal," where do you draw the line? Do kids in wheelchairs have normal childhoods? How about kids who have another physical deformity and have something visible on them all day? Kids who have special diets and can't eat the same foods around their friends, foods that are considered "normal."

I just want insight into your brand of idiocy for consistency's sake.

+1 My kid (who wears a mask) plays sports, plays with friends, goes to school. etc. I even saw them and their friends making funning faces at each other. They were all laughing hysterically at each other, even at the funny faces my masked child was making (lots of hand gestures and silliness all around). What exactly is my child missing?

You really don’t think it’s possible that there are downsides to not displaying or seeing most of your/someone else’s face? Bizarre.

It’s masking when needed. High levels of covid, flu, whatever.

It’s a mask. They work.

You may want to talk to a doctor about your irrational fear of masks. It’s concerning.

Lifetime, forever masking -> people have lost their minds

We've know for 100+ years that masks don't work for the flu. There's 14 random control trials on in the last few decades. You need to follow the science.

The random control trial for COVID showed cloth didn't work and surgical barely did for those over 50. Thus, kids in paw patrol masks that are barely on their nose do 0. Again, you need to follow the science.

1/2 the kids who are masking are wearing a surgical or cloth mask, which shows me their parents don't know anything and are just sheep. Sad for such a well-educated county.

Some of us have figured out how to buy high quality masks. Sorry you have been unable to do this.

This.

Truth.

Why on earth would I buy any mask for my child? The risk of mortality is lower than the flu or RSV.

The largest risk to my child is them not returning to normal, and mental health issues from forced masking. I look at these kids forced masked now at elementary school pick up with pity, as they're being robbed of so much by their hypochondriac parents.

I’m sorry you had a traumatic mask experience.

I hope you get the help you need and find peace.
