    Will anybody please, please, stop the madness? I don’t give a damn about the politics. I don’t want children to get sick. Please, please.

        I agree. I honestly thought "when children start dying and end up in the hospital, this will be over." That's NOT the case.

        I didn't think so. After all, Americans have proven themselves willing to sacrifice thousands of children a year to gun violence. What's a germ? :sighs:

        Asians’ academic achievements never suffered from wearing masks as kids. From preschool on Asians regularly wear masks due to metro’s pollution and density of cities. So what’s this talk of masks stunting brain development? Maybe your kid doesn’t study much and it’s not the mask?

        On recent trip to Japan, we spent hours on public transportation. Multiple times we encountered large groups of students all masked and uniformed. No big deal. Masking definitely does not cause them harm and may save them days out of school for minor illnesses.

        The scary thing is it isn't even winter yet. To really compare the data - look at where the numbers were last July/August, when there were no vaccines. This is really scary.
