Re: The case against masks at school
#2I live somewhere with mild winters so the schools don't have any hallways (the classrooms just open to the outside). This meant that kids could at least get a break from masking between classes. However, after coming back from winter break, the schools started mandating masks outside as well as in, and including during PE class. As you can imagine, my asthmatic daughter was not pleased.

I'm a former asthmatic. Even cloth masks are restrictive enough that they'd have been an issue for me.

I’ve found N95 masks to be far more breathable than the normal paper masks, and definitely more breathable than cloth masks.

On their website I couldn’t find any statement about their effectiveness, nor any certification.

You're being sarcastic, right? If not, that's the entire point. These are designed to fail any tests but cursory visual inspection.

Me too :( it feels like people like us are forgotten.
But I saw Denmark has just dropped all covid measures including masks so hopefully we're all getting there
