Masks on kids

There are 258 million adults in the US and 15% or 38,700,000 remain unvaccinated. Five percent of these or 1,935,000 have lost their jobs because they refuse to get vaccinated. Most companies are dropping their mandates for vaccination. Will their employees who quit over this issue be allowed to come back to work. California Versus Florida, a Covid Reckoning The two states had very different strategies for handling the pandemic, but it's hard to tell which came out better after a thorough look at the data. The divergence was most pronounced in schooling where Florida opened schools and removed masks early on. The science around mask wearing was distorted by politics. The number of children getting Covid was small and mostly limited to kids that had underlying health problems. It is more difficult measure the adverse effects of masks on children if there are any. In Britain it was not a political issue. Britain's two major political parties generally believe that face coverings hinder young children's ability to communicate and learn and mask were not worn. In England experts found a total of 25 youngsters died from the virus between March 2020 and February 2021. But the majority had underlying health conditions which made them vulnerable to the virus. Nothing was said about teacher safety.
