Masks and masks

In school today I asked why the masks and was told it was to protect the students. As of August 1, 2021 a total of 360 children have died from Covid. During any 18 month period about 300 children die from the flu. Schools want students to wear a mask but they are not told the proper way to wear a mask, how to put it on and take it off and how often to change and/or wash the mask. All of the plastic barriers have come down and social distancing is no longer required. Teachers are no longer spraying all the desk between classes. The teachers and the staff have all been vaccinated. It would be helpful if they would do a cost/benefit ratio on the pros and cons of masks in school. Students are wearing masks but not tight fitting and they remove them at lunch without washing hands. As far as the delta variant goes here is what the experts say. “Although we are seeing more cases in children and more overall cases, these studies demonstrated that there was not increased disease severity in children,” Dr. Walensky said. “Instead, more children have COVID-19 because there is more disease in the community.” Meanwhile million of unmasked people are congregating at major sporting events. These are older than students and more likely to suffer more severe consequences.
