Masks in schools

Speaking about wearing masks to prevent Covid, a school board member in Oklahoma says we must force students to wear masks. I hope we can because it’s just not OK for kids to commit murder for coming to school without a mask.” If this is happening then every year during flu season children bring home the virus. In the past no one even suggested that kids were committing murder. It also means that students should wear masks every year in the future until there is no more possibility of transferring virus infections. In the past decade on average 36,000 people die each year from the flu and 75% are over age 65. How many Grandparents caught the flu from grandchildren who got the virus in school is not known but a reasonable person might infer that it happened. The argument for mask should not involve just last year and this year but every year.
