January 15, 20223 yr Just now, DBW said: I would say it’s more of a good (cloth) better (paper) best (n95) approach. The issue is that if you require a certain type of mask in schools, you have to provide a means for Parents to get it. You can’t do anything that may force an inequality. N95s are more expensive, harder to get, etc. so you would in a way make it an inequality for families that can’t get them or afford them etc. unless the school is providing them free of charge, they would never be able to mandate a particular type. that said, even with masking, Covid is spreading in schools but in my wife’s school it is mostly among the younger kids who can’t get vaccinated yet. It’s the k-2nd graders who are seeing the rise in cases. And they’ve had mask mandates except for lunch time since this all started. better than any mask, are the vaccines. That should be the first line of defense. I'm thinking it is pretty clear that cloth masks are really just for show with Omicron. That's pretty much where all the experts are at this point and the WH/CDC is pretty close to just going all in on this topic and upping their guidelines to minimum surgical masks. I'm thinking that is particularly important with little kids who really can't be counted on to keep any level of distancing. Yeah, I get the inequality issues but those would simply need to be solved. I believe the best thing is just to drop the mandate but if you're going to keep them then make it have some value and at least go to surgical masks if not N95s. Vaccines - Generally yes of course and I said just that a few posts back when discussing this with EagleRocker.

January 16, 20223 yr My oldest is a pilot for LabCorp, and picks up Covid tests throughout the eastern half of the country to bring back to Burlington to be analyzed. Here he is (along with my youngest) getting ready for tonight’s flights.

January 16, 20223 yr Quote Scientists believed COVID leaked from Wuhan lab but feared further discussion would be harmful: emails The newly unredacted emails show that by February 2, 2020, scientists were already trying to shut down the debate into the laboratory leak theory Leading British and U.S. scientists thought it was likely that COVID-19 accidentally leaked from a laboratory but were concerned that further debate would harm science in China, emails show. An email from Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, on Feb. 2, 2020, said that "a likely explanation” was that COVID had rapidly evolved from a SARS-like virus inside human tissue in a low-security lab. The email, to Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, went on to say that such evolution may have "accidentally created a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans.” But a leading scientist told Farrar that "further debate would do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular.” Collins, the former director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, warned it could damage "international harmony.” Viscount Ridley, co-author of Viral: the search for the origin of COVID, said: "These emails show a lamentable lack of openness and transparency among Western scientists who appear to have been more interested in shutting down a hypothesis they thought was very plausible, for political reasons.” ... https://vancouversun.com/news/world/scientists-believed-covid-leaked-from-wuhan-lab-but-feared-further-discussion-would-be-harmful-emails/wcm/1cff5e0b-d1f1-43f3-9180-8858d39032a3

January 16, 20223 yr 16 hours ago, The_Omega said: Science relies on data, on information, the more of it, the better. Questions about the science are far more important than unquestioning belief in it. Unquestioning belief is even more anti-science than religion. And internet bullies are sniveling little cowards in real life. Who cares what they say here? They’d never say it out there. They’re the quintessential ‘’what I should have said….!’’ types. https://explorable.com/definition-of-science Definition of Science Science is defined as the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of natural phenomena. (Only kidding - this is the real definition of science)
