The entire planet is a randomized trial at this point.

Something caused upper respiratory/flu illness to drop to nill worldwide until the precautions were relaxed.

You can't fool me... Tin foil isn't magnetic...

Although it did help getting VHF/UHF reception on the rabbit ears antenna when I was a kid...

Ahh... The emotional argument... Unfortunately, emotions make horrible medical decisions...

Ever been hit by a flying brain? That can really leave a nasty welt!

Whether you wear a motorcycle helmet or not, it only affects you. Whether you wear a mask or not, it not only affects you but others. Not exactly the same thing!

What a great Gov. He really cares about half of us.

The only way for masks to work is for all the kids be masked. If the parents don’t want to mask their kid they should put them in a class room with unmasked kids and keep them there. The parents that want their kids to be masked should have the right to have their kid in a masked class. Kids die everyone will be doing home school.

Though I have no doubt they will not be sufficient to change your opinion.

I was surprised to find no articles reporting that masks do not help. None said masks were 100% effective but I did not notice any that said masks were 10)% ineffective.

Masks are NOT PROHIBITED in Florida - just not MANDATED by the Gubment!

Marion county school in one month loss 2 teachers, 1 bus driver, 2 cafeteria ladies, and 1 maintenance worker ALL to Covid. 1300 kids tested positive for Covid first month this school yr. Last year the schools had mask mandates and it worked out fine, in fact attendance was up last year.
Very sad indeed

It’s not up to the teachers. They want mask mandates. My very republican mom/principle in Sumter county is one of them. My, not so very smart, ( and I mean that in the kindest way, but it’s true) brother opted out of wearing a mask for my 11 year old niece but thankfully she’s smart enough to wear one anyway. Poor kids don’t get a say. They’re strictly relying on whatever the adult believes.

January 26, 2021 the WHO stated masks are ineffective against Covid 19
Look it up. It’s good practice for getting at truth.

EXACTLY! Kids don’t care at all about wearing a mask!! One of the easiest things to do is make a kid. One of the most difficult is being a good parent.

I don’t need to show you the facts I will show you the numbers
In Marion county 13 school employees have died from Covid in 1 month. Over 1300 kids have tested positive the first month of school. Orange County had 2300 kids test positive the first month.
The teacher and school want to go back to WHAT WORKED last school year.
This is about what is right and taking it of the school and teachers hands is not what’s right…..period

"kids have no problem with mask, only parents."

Very true and conveniently overlooked, from those who think they are losing some kind of 'freedom.'

[Hiltongrizz11]

It's too bad that you are not pro freedom and instead are pro-government.

It shouldn't even have to happen that a governor should mandate freedom. Anyone can wear a mask no one should be forced to.
