I agree. Masks are useless and can cause some people a lot of problems. Our county has no mask mandate but face shields/masks are required in the schools. I hear a lot of complaints from the kids. I tell them it’s not my rules. If a health inspector stops by and sees lax mask rule enforcement, the school can be shut down.
I think cleaning stuff and washing hands is good practice, pandemic or not. Keeping sick kids home is helpful for any and all diseases. The rest is questionable.
Some kids have conditions and don’t wear masks - but they have to stay away from other students. Some of them opt to wear a mask, anyway.
Yes, contracting AIDS at a young age can be problematic.
The person making the mask rules needs to be a popularly elected official imo.
In fact, in case you haven’t seen the following suggestions, you might find them interesting.
State constitutions need to be amended to put time limits on lockdowns and on the mandatory wearing of masks.
State constitutions also need to be amended to make state health and environmental protection officials elected by popular vote.
Constitutionally time-limited lockdowns and limited mask requirements need to automatically trigger special recall elections for governors, mayors and disaster officials who order lockdowns and mask wearing, also state lawmakers.
Finally, constitutions need to require people planning to run for state and local offices to escrow a refundable "recall deposit" before becoming a candidate, the deposit fully paying in advance for their possible recall elections if they are elected, amounts determined by law.
