Beshear about to issue mask Mandate in schools?

[WildcatofNati]

But I thought the problem with masks was that they inhibit education. I’m confused.

The problem with masks is that they're kind of silly. I'm disinclined to roam around looking like a bit actor in B science fiction movie, or as if I'm about to hop on a bus in Wuhan. But, if you are into that kind of thing, wear it all day. For I all know, you might look pretty cool with that mask on.

Then the humidity from breath(you know the aerosols that still escape masks) fogs it up and is useless again. Vaccinate teachers. Move forward.

In ky they all skipped the vax line so school could start back as normal.

Then they resisted school starting back. And now they demand masks

Let’s break down the straw man here.

Suggests argument is about what teachers love

Suggests masks are mandatory for 5 years.

And then some non sequitor about counties.

But I thank you guys for answering my question. It’s okay for kids to wear masks if teachers wear clear masks. Got it.

Let’s break down bkingUK here:

Refuses to answer basic questions in a discussion
Guessing he actually doesn’t have kids and posting on here is just a big game for him

With that I am done trying to discuss with an unreasonable person.

He's a true believer, a Branch Covidian, if you will. These people are probably less than 10% of the population, but they're a very vocal and passionate 10%, and moreso on Twitter than on this forum.

They do. Education also isn't just about teacher to student interaction. We learn social cues from our peers. How about we just end the entire charade with masking. It's never been used. Why? It doesn't work.

The union leaders do. I know at least 2 elementary school teachers that think the whole mask deal is pointless.

Today our king Andy was attending the commodity breakfast at the KY Exposition Center walking around without a mask in a room full of others without masks and he was greeting them with handshakes. Pictures are all over social media of this. Yet, he will be on your TV today telling you to wear masks, keep your distance, and avoid gatherings so you don’t kill people. Makes sense, right?

Andy can gfh. Honestly, I can't remember a politician I disliked more than that guy.

UK and those countries, while also having surges in cases, are not experiencing the overcrowding of healthcare facilities like we are right now. the UK has plateaued but their deaths and hospitalizations are not increasing at the rate ours are.

I'm not advocating masks, I don't think the underwear on our faces that most kids wear actually work. But the situations are different.

YOu cannot be a lib and democrat unless hypocrisy is your way of life.

40% are covid and that includes of and with. So whatever strain on the system there might be is mostly due to delayed medical care when experts let hospitals sit empty while telling people to not come to the Dr unless it was life or death.

Doesn't help that the federal government required medical facilities/hospitals mandate vaccines. Numbers of Nurses and other staff were fired for failure to comply. Odd move for such a strained system.

Your take away from hospitals requiring vaccines in the medial of a pandemic is that it’s the requirement that caused a shortage of beds. That’s your take away?

Also, vaccines are no big deal to most nurses. They’re required all the time. Sure there are loose cannons who want attention, but that’s not normal.

Not true. 40% are due to something that they don’t have capacity floor.

So I guess if teachers wear clear masks, we are good with masks?

How can teachers and kids breathe through clear plastic masks?

They die of suffocation in a terrible death... of course

Those aren't my numbers. Those are based on a statewide census from the ky hospital association.

If you think they're numbers aren't scary enough, you should let them know

“That a masking requirement of students failed to show independent benefit is a finding of consequence and great interest,” says Vinay Prasad, an associate professor in University of California, San Francisco’s Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

“A year ago, I said, ‘Masks are not the end of the world; why not just wear a mask?’” Elissa Schechter-Perkins, the director of Emergency Medicine Infectious Disease Management at Boston Medical Center, told me. “But the world has changed, there are real downsides to masking children for this long, with no known end date, and without any clear upside.” She continued, “I’m not aware of any studies that show conclusively that kids wearing masks in schools has any effect on their own morbidity or mortality or on the hospitalization or death rate in the community around them.”

While concerns about pediatric long COVID are real, evidence from studies that have a control group is reassuring. A large British study found “almost all children had symptom resolution by eight weeks,” and of the small number of children with longer-term symptoms, most were vague and common, such as fatigue and headaches, which were also found in the group of children who tested negative for COVID. A study in Germany, now in pre-print, of 1,560 adolescents, found “no statistical difference comparing the reported symptoms between seropositive students and seronegative students.”

...

“There are very good reasons that the World Health Organization has repeatedly affirmed their guidance for children under 6 to not wear masks,” said a pediatrician who has both state and national leadership roles in the AAP but who wished to remain anonymous because they did not want to jeopardize their roles in the organization. “Reading faces is critical for social emotional learning. And all children are actively learning language the first five years of life, for which seeing faces is foundational,” the pediatrician said.

...
“Even with a new variant, the onus is on those who recommend masking kids to robustly demonstrate a meaningful benefit, especially when the pre-Delta study of the Georgia schools did not find one, and when there are obvious socio-emotional and educational harms from masking children for this unprecedented duration of time.”

Power and control plain and simple.

A recent study showed no significant difference between mandatory and optional mask wearing of children as it relates to the transmission of Covid.
