At least there are some grown-ups in the room

"Judge Cooper said the overwhelming evidence before him...is that wearing masks does provide some protection for children in crowded school settings, particularly those under 12 for whom no vaccine yet exists"

We have failed our children during #covid19. It’s the job of adults to protect our children, but many adults have chosen not to be vaccinated. Now, there are politicians who are subjecting kids to unnecessary risk by barring mask mandates. It’s a sad reflection on our society.

[Alana Nesser @AMNesser]

As of last week, children represented 22.4% of the reported weekly COVID cases. Let's not ignore the fact that kids get and can transmit COVID.

#WearAMask ! It's such a simple way to keep each other safe as more and more students begin the school year

"It's not about personal freedoms and rights, because until the virus is under control....we're all restricted."

.@ASlavitt goes to Florida — ground zero in the battle over how to respond to COVID — to hear what two young people have to say about the pandemic: 21-year-old @davidhogg111 and 14-year-old @AMNesser, both of Parkland, FL.

If most Americans support #maskmandates and medical professionals tell us masks work, what's the problem!? #WearAMask #KeepKidsSafe

Most Americans support state or local mask mandates, poll shows https://t.co/kxqfyqlXdj

#BREAKING: The State Board of Education just decided to punish Broward County Public Schools for mandating masks. https://t.co/ru2ESfSV6v

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Children diagnosed with #COVID19 are increasing at an alarming level & filling hospitals, with children of color more vulnerable. In @USATODAY , experts advise all eligible family members to get vaccinated to help shield young children.

States blocking mask mandates may be keeping schools from meeting the needs of students with disabilities with heightened risk for severe illness #mandatethemask

The U.S. Education Department is investigating five states over their mask mandate bans. https://t.co/1FnjTqqT1q

[Alana Nesser @AMNesser]

With lab simulations like these, mask mandates shouldn't even be a question.

"... In elementary schools without either masks or regular testing, more than 75 percent of children might be infected with the coronavirus in the first three months."

We wouldn’t gather 20-30 unvaccinated, unmasked adults all day in a small room. Why would we think it’s safe to do for our kids? Indoor masking is one of the few proven tools we have to reduce #covid19 transmission. Let’s not take away this option when the virus is surging.
