Masks should be worn PROPERLY by covering the NOSE and MOUTH at all times. One reason why masking has not worked for us is that compliance of wearing masks properly is practically non existent.
This is what the CDC says about the effectiveness of Universal masking as source control.....

Do you know how dystopian this sounds? Kids at school with their faces covered? Heck, you want
everyone at school with their face covered! How can they learn properly like that? Much of learning at a young age is about communication, and communication is about facial expressions, whether it's smiles or frowns, and just showing emotion.
There's been many studies done all over the world that show masking children is not beneficial and they are not major spreaders of the virus nor are they seriously affected by it if they do get it. There is no logical reason for making kids wear masks all day long.
The bottom line is the vaccines don't work well so that's why we need the masks. If the the CDC would just come out and admit it instead of causing friction in our society by trying to blame the unvaccinated when it's the vaccines that are not working like they thought they would. I know so many people who are fully vaccinated and have gotten it, some worse than others. Who cares if it's the original Covid-19 or the Delta variant, it's still SARS-CV2, mutation or not.
