Asking carefully: my child could still wear a mask in school tho, right? There is nothing forbidding that individual freedom, right?
Our nom vaxxed Florida relatives had Covid,a,couple of weeks ago and came out of it ok.

maybe bullying? I mean if adults are bullying other adults about wearing a mask, then imagine a bunch of kids ... yea.Quote:

Homeschooling is also an option, or schooling with other likeminded people in a pod.
If I were a school administrator I would try to set up masked classrooms and non masked classrooms and teachers and students/parents could choose which one they want to be in.
Of course they'll all be maskfree when they eat in the cafeteria so the masks are pointless, but it would keep people happy. (Unless some people want to feed the kids through IVs so they can keep their masks on.)
Mute point at the school I work at - letter already went out to parents saying both staff and students must be masked, as well as anyone who enters the school. There are no students yet and I still must be masked -- but you all know by now that it's no issue for me. :)
Flowers, so sorry to hear about how sick you were. I know from personal experience that having pneumonia is horrible. I can’t believe a stranger would comment on your mask. Thanks for sharing what’s happening in Florida.

Some highlights:
Mortalities are trending 70 to 75% below previous peaks
The elderly who are largely vaccinated are being hospitalized at the same numbers for covid as they were in January - this is not an overwhelmingly young group impacted by Delta despite media stories
Seniors who are completely asymptomatic are checking themselves into the hospital because the media has scared them about Delta
My commentary:
We need to stop the media feeding frenzy over Delta. If people with no symptoms are checking themselves into the hospitals, no wonder the hospitals are full!!!!
Yes iris lilies, if you child has the emotional strength, they can invest their energy in wearing a mask to primarily protect the people around them who are demonstrating no interest in protecting your child. This will definitely interfere with their ability to learn. Or at least to learn the curriculum content being taught by their teachers. Many experiences are learning experiences.
Flowers, thank you.
I enjoy seeing how people who cherry pick articles from the Web interpret them to reinforce their own ....interesting...beliefs.
Alas, I'm stuck actually rolling up my sleeves and dealing with patients.
Tell me why we might not all be Florida in a few weeks? But higher vaccination rates among the over 16? Well yes maybe but is this even true? If we include kids vaccinations rates may not be that much higher. However ... Florida is ahead of maybe much of the country in opening schools for this year. We aren't 2 weeks into opening schools here, so if it's going to hit schools we won't see the impact quite yet.
