N.J. school district reinstates mask mandate as COVID cases rise
NJ.com ^

Posted on 12/21/2022 6:49:46 PM PST by matt04

One of New Jersey’s largest public school districts is requiring masks starting Wednesday due to rising COVID-19 cases.

Passaic Public Schools has 17 schools, including Passaic High School, and enrolls approximately 14,000 students.

Superintendent Sandra M. Diodonet told parents on Tuesday that, under a school board policy, masks are required “during periods of a High Activity Level” of COVID-19 as documented by the state health department.

“Therefore, effective Wednesday, December 21, 2022, all employees, Pre-K through grade 12 students, and visitors are required to wear face coverings in all district facilities, school grounds, and buses,” Diodonet wrote in a letter shared by the school district on Twitter.

...

“When Passaic County is in the moderate or below range, the mask mandate will be lifted,” Diodonet wrote.

Just two weeks they said in March 2020. Now it will be 2023 and Passaic schools will still be having a mask mandate until, well the "science" says it is moderate or lower, which could be a week or months.

Even though it’s been shown that masks do nothing to prevent infection.

And they give less than 24 hours notice. Who still has a supply of masks at home? Stores in my area don’t even sell them anymore in large quantities.

Masks forever...or until the Chinese flag is hoisted coast to coast and border to border...and even then until (maybe) the next dynasty.

Note the absence of “/s”!

There is NO excuse for this continued assault on liberty.

It’s been three years. The hospitals have had LOTS of time to improve capability.

Homeschool your children folks. Anyways, you don’t want your children near any of these propaganda spewing groomer teachers.

My question?

How much will home schooling grow in the near term in NJ?

It will be significant.

That which has been seen, cannot be unseen.

You beat me.

Clearly home school will grow, or parents will find a way to move from NJ or send children to private schools.

Did they explain of science how a virus that is a hundred times smaller than the filter holes does anything?

Preying on children. They know the adults are largely over it but the kids are easy targets. New generation of slaves.

You know, in terms of other investments, there are a lot of dollars that came out of the American Rescue Plan given to cities and states for investments in improving indoor air quality. I actually think this is probably the most important long term thing we can be doing for schools or office buildings or nursing homes.

Indoor air quality is sort of-- has just not got the level of attention it deserves. Most experts believe that, if we make some basic investments in indoor air quality, we can reduce, in fact, all respiratory infections by 30 or 60 or even 80%. I mean, the notion that you could cut respiratory infections-- there is no study in the world that shows that masks work that well. So you're never going to get the kind of benefit from mandatory year round masking as you would from making substantial improvements in indoor air quality, plus it's a lot easier to implement as well.

that was a quote from The White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator- the link in above post goes to a fella’s twitter site who is apparently a rabid mask advocate, and he was complaining about what The White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator said- Seems that his site was infested with gov approved medical peeps who lambasted the claim- as they all slapped each other on the backs in support of forcing people to mask again-

I read about 20 posts- was enough to realize that these gov spokespeople really fear losing control

i had a doctor’s appointment the other day, and was new to the area where the doc is located, there was a series of building and i didnt know which one doc was in, so of course the first 2 i tried were the wrong ones, then the last was his-

long story short- first medical building = no masks needed- second one = masks required, and third, where the doc was = no masks required- all the buildings were part of a large medical complex and connected buildings-

Figure that nonsense out-
