King Charlie’s Guideline For Reopening Schools Is To Force Students To Wear Masks All Day While In School (home, dangerous)

[TheGoodTheBadTheUgly]

I’m not a doctor but somehow I don’t think that’s healthy wearing a mask for 6 hours straight. Am I wrong.

Students in the second grade and up -- as well as adults -- will need to wear masks, maintain social distance and likely eat in their classrooms

Narrator: "Despite the lofty self appraisals, he was proven wrong ... again."

Yup, you're wrong.


Wrong forum, OP. Maybe try this in the Arizona forum. They're doing so well without masks.

Maybe you should ask a doctor. Many have worn masks 8 hours straight for years.

This attitude is why we won’t be able to travel to Europe, since so many in the USA refuse to embrace maturity, respect science and data, stop politicizing a disease that has killed 128,000 of its citizens, and undergo a minor inconvenience by wearing a mask. Fascinating to watch the US go from the envy of the world to an object of ridicule and pity unnecessarily ravaged by a virus and led by propaganda.

I acknowledge it seems hard to expect kids to wear masks all day, but they need some normalcy and social interaction so it’s a balancing act. However, not requiring students to wear masks puts elder members of multigenerational households and immunocompromised family members that some kids go home to at risk. The kids probably won’t get sick, but could well carry it around to those at high risk.

I swear there's likely a high correlation between Americans who don't wear masks and Americans who don't own passports and have no desire for foreign travel.

Students in Hong Kong for sure wear masks all day long and HK is a lot hotter and humid than here in New England. I'm sure it can be done. Americans just aren't used to it that's all.

I continue to read these articles about right-wingers who are adamant and vocal that Covid-19 is a hoax, a conspiracy, or at least a minor threat that's been greatly exaggerated. Then they get sick. All of a sudden, they "discover" that it's not a hoax. And this is after literally thousands of news stories over months of worldwide pandemic, and over 125,000 Americans dead. And millions of Americans, literally, think it's just made up! They willfully ignore any information that contradicts the narrative from the President and most of the personalities at Fox.

Sometimes it's a pastor who claims it's all fake and half his congregation get sick... in this case it's a couple and the wife is still in the ICU. Guy now says he wants to warn people that it's real. But if these people didn't believe the thousands of other reports on it, why would they listen to this guy? I imagine by their reckoning, he is now proven to be part of the conspiracy, because he says Covid-19 is dangerous. It is so frustrating, because there is no way to overcome this refusal to listen. It's not that they don't know - they've heard it all a thousand times, they just refuse to believe it.

Really.. back in March of 2010 when Obama was President, the U.S. centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated then that about 60 million Americans had contracted the H1N1 virus. Did our leaders shut down the economy or mandate that we all wear masks “NO” the panic level was: total chill!
