Reply to comment by SmilingZebra in Masks will be asked and expected at BPS for 8 school days but won’t be made mandatory. by lucifer0915

Genuine question - do you also favor returning mask mandates to transit/stores/bars/gyms/offices? It makes exceptionally little sense to me to have masks in schools & not these places.

Edit: also - we're so far past lowering community spread having an impact on new variants, lmao. Did previous mask mandates stop new variants from spawning? The data shows they hardly even impacted community spread, much less enough to meaningfully reduce new variants. Your points are weak af & not supported by data.

It's not wrong though. Cloth masks don't work, nor do masks that people wear incorrectly or take off to eat or drink.

The only way a mask mandate works is with strict adherence to N95's, which is impossible, even more so in a school environment.

No, just places where we pack 2000 kids together for 6 hours a day

So not the T, where we pack hundreds of people in a space smaller than a classroom? Insane contradictions here.
