    Give me a break, those people in Australia just want to walk around in public freely.

    I had no idea that you'd be so much for totalitarianism... This is what we will always remember about you...

    A pre-print that has not been peer reviewed, so take it for what it is worth. It is going to ruffle a lot of anti-masker feathers around here though if it survives peer review. PS....these are Europeans, not Americans and their conclusions....mask = good for reducing classroom exposure to virus.

    That is a model. We have data from the UK(who doesn’t mask children under 12) that says covid isn’t spreading in the schools. I posted it previously. I’d go with the real world data over the model.

    And we have data currently in Florida that says children have the highest positivity rate of any age group in Florida.

    And yet, Covid was spreading wildly through the English schools as the Delta variant displaced other variants right up through summer break.

    Also, we should be very careful about referring the UK as if it were some homogenous kingdom. Scotland and Northern Ireland are still mandating masks for all students and staff. England and Wales are not.

    Finally, an interesting side note talking to our co-workers in Ireland. Most of the primary schools across the UK are designed to be "out door", where most classrooms have windows and doors that open outside like old US motels. Very few US primary schools, at least in cities, are designed like that at all. So, drawing comparisons to US and UK schools should be made with much greater care than throwing out 1 study in my opinion.

    More than 1m school pupils in England absent last week due to Covid

    Some crazy contact tracing going on there. Pediatric Hospitalizations aren’t going up at significant rates. So the UK schools have about .4% of the kids out with Covid. Not a crazy number at all.

    Update on my step-sister's boyfriend: he's now in the hospital on oxygen. I don't have many details beyond that.

    Trump got some boos suggesting vaccination is a good idea. Even he can’t convince the mob.

    Well you said you'd go with real world data, but I guess only if it fits your narrative.

    Ok I have read your nonsense posts. Tell me please of one good reason for the average person not to be vaccinated.

    Your friends are idiots, but at least they are now probably worm free. At least there's that.

    Well that's your opinion and really it's never mattered to me. And judging by most of your arrogant and condescending comments you probably don't have many friends.
