Id take that bet in a heartbeat if we look back to when masks were mandated everywhere.

Okay at minimum masks are proven to lessen spread and at maximum they provide at least some protection — even flimsy cloth masks. But I think this horse has been beaten. The earth is flat. And masks over your face don’t prevent particle spread. Also, you’re an absolutely terrible gambler.
At minimum, masks retard the intellectual and emotional development of some subset of students.
At maximum, they placate parents' neurosis and provide incompetent people like your governor something to do, something to point to and say "look, I did something for you."
They never masked their school children in Sweden. No kid died afaik.

What I meant was it was 100 today here in south central ky, kids on a bus with no air and a mask, yeah ur side has all the great ideas, weres the seabelts, helmets and safety glasses, cause the world needs all the soft *** bubble wrap people we can get. I'm not totally anti masked but August and September is not the month for it. Now if they say when they get back from Thanksgiving break and go through maybe January I'd would agree to have my child wear it. The chicken **** mask ruling today is child abuse and anyone that thinks mask has made a difference is just going along with the world news tonight guys, who only wanna scare people. If anyone has a real solution then I'm all ears, but hiding behind a 270 day mask ruling for innocent kids just show how this country is in the toilet.
There are little kids (likely millions) who have learning gaps that are now comparable to a kid with a learning disability. Those gaps will only grow. The impacts on their lives will be incalculable. Of course, we CAN calculate the trillions of debt those kids will inherit.
What about them?
Except the study you’re referring to has been widely critiqued and has shown to have intentionally leave out certain data points.
You’re saying wearing a mask in school causes bigger gaps in education? If your goal is to keep schools open then you should want to inhibit spread so people don’t freak out and close schools.
Every single one of you lefties would have went along with Hitler and the Soviet Union. You think you wouldn’t but you’re absolutely the exact same type of person who went along with that ****.
You’re a broken record dude. It’s like all you know how to do is rant about left right ********
Yup it just joined the group. Covid is close too. But politics and mandates
I am. And yes I've lived without worthless masks and went to school like everyone else. I'm not needing to be in a bubble as some, but still. Yes, I am immunocompromised. No, I'm not hiding in my basement with 10 masks on. Covid isn't the first, or worst, issue.
They certainly do. That this is somehow debatable is beyond sad.
I'm talking about the preponderance of evidence, not one study in particular. The evidence that masking up! like a good lttle leftist lemming, does indeed do nothing is overwhelming.
Anyone (expert or not) who doesn't tell you at the very least that there is no conclusive evidence it does anything, is taking advantage of you.
Yeah its because a child's mouth covered tells them to shutup and keep thier mouth shut because they are a disease carrying child whose interaction will decrease 70 percent with a covered mouth. Soft spoken kids will go mute, and classroom interaction is unacceptable because everyone is a deadly disease. So everyone sit and shutup the next 270 days because the king said so again.
This is an ignorant talking point.
It doesn't matter if they have less covid per capita than Texans do, what's important is that they are importing more virus to be transmitted in the populace.
The only result is more cases, more deaths than you otherwise would've had had you not facilitated mass illegal immigration.
Uh what. I have several friends at various levels of education. I’m going to ask them about this.
Yes. Especially with kids along the autism spectrum who already struggle with social cues. I'm not a speech therapist, but I just wonder how much masks have done in terms of causing continued issues with their patients.
No kidding. Actually deleted my post right after you quoted me because I didn't feel it was worth possibly getting into a mask battle tonight, but it's all good. I said my peace.
Not being able to see a teachers face well, especially as they form sounds? Not being able to hear what is being said because it’s muffled? And vice versa for the teacher to hear proper pronunciations?
The window is K-2. After that, gaps tend to become permanent.
And most damning, it’s the poor and the non-white (the supposed beneficiaries of “progressivism”), the ones that are already at-risk, who will suffer the most.
And our Governor and state board have now essentially said that this will go on forever because, after all, Covid is never going away.
Lunacy!
Haha no, it's fine. I have political thread experience so I'm good.
If your argument is maybe kids won't talk as much, maybe the masks should be permanent.
If you ever had any hope of retaining a shred of credibility, stop now.
You knew that little prick would get his way one way or another.
Picked up my four year old from daycare today. He was telling me that he was playing and his mask fell off. He was upset cause he thought he was going to get in trouble but I said no worries buddy. His mask fell off and then one of the other kids stepped on it per him. Then when he told his teacher she just had him put it back on. (We didn't pack a spare they have disposable ones). This prevents sickness? Oh yeah right Andy science. Andy is a ****ing idiot. Its obvious he didn't do any of the raising of his own children cause he would know how asinine these mandates and masks are if had done anything at all with them.
Seriously? My arguments are my own. You can't just flip around what I said to him and think you made some point You may as well have said, "I know you are, but what am I?"
If you intentionally import more virus, you cannot say defeating the virus is your top priority, at least not with any credulity. It's simply not logically consistent. Importing more virus increases virus transmission, not "dilute" it just because you have more people. That's a natural consequence, that's reality. If you heard that elsewhere, that's not the result of me being "spoon fed" anythnig, just you inadvertantly encountering the truth but not able to process it.
You’re literally taking your talking points from Fox News and Twitter hacks
I’m in a thread with people who think covid is a conspiracy, masks are useless and masks prevent kids from learning. I don’t think there’s anything I can possibly say that would let me lose credibility:
It's obviously true. Not seeing it as such is a clear indicator you aren't thinking clearly.
There's not an argument you can make that I can't summarily refute.
Covid is real, people should get vaxxed, masks are useless and some kids are harmed by them.
Like I don’t even know watch Fox News and I can see political punditry a mile away.
He thinks clearly, you don't.
If you think clear thinking is restricted to one side of the aisle, that's just further evidence you don't think clearly.
He's right, you're wrong. The statement "well, they have less covid than native per capita." is not a rebuttal, but indeed just a political talking point made by idiots for idiots. It's an exceedingly ignorant statement to make. There's no sugar-coating it.
U say useless as in no use, thats not what we have here, what we have is a type of mask and the settings it's being used in. My child got out of school today were she wore a mask, less than two hours later we returned to school were she's a high school cheerleader and the practice for a game they will have in a week in which no one will be masked. WTF are we really doing cause I have no idea.
