What's this?

No, it absolutely isn't that. It's a correct way to point out that your

conclusions were not supported by your evidence. I gave specific explanations, none of which you addressed.

Speaking of following the science, do you have an support for:
- kids who are at almost no risk whatsoever (https://fox4kc.com/tracking-coronavirus/childrens-mercy-hospital-at-full-capacity-as-covid-19-other-illnesses-bring-more-kids-in/)
- masks are doing FAR more damage to the kids than COVID could to 99.99% of them
- Is N95 necessary? Real studies have shown cloth mask < multi-layer cloth < surgical < N95. Maybe you can't mandate N95, but maybe you can move people up that chain?

You dismiss small, but real findings (2-3%) from science as meaningless; but want us to follow your hunches (the above and that the 2-3% was all from N95).

Oh, and just to add...I don't think anyone thinks size of the virus itself -- JoesterVT 08/12/2021 9:20PM

All respiratory viruses are small enough to get through masks. Well said. -- HokieGator 08/12/2021 10:24PM

Well you fine people will help clear this up in the next few weeks -- JoesterVT 08/12/2021 9:18PM

You don't think there are some communities with near zero masking? -- JoesterVT 08/12/2021 9:26PM

What about our system. I can take it off if no kids are in the room. -- HokieGator 08/12/2021 10:15PM
