My kids hate them and every kid I know hates them. Clod is wrong again. Besides virtually every kid who gets Covid has it so mild they don't even know they have had it unless we subject them to testing. It's the stupidest thing that only simple minded mental midgets would buy off on.

What kids really think about masks, vaccines, and in-person school
Though 14-year-old Maison isn’t interested in getting vaccinated right now—feeling that youth and a strong immune system are on his side—he thinks most adults should be.
“The people who are older than me who are around me … I know that they’ve had the vaccine, so I feel more comfortable,” he says. “But the teachers who don’t have the vaccine, I don’t really understand that.”Other children who are vaccinated continue to also wear masks to protect others. Zora Nunley, the 12-year-old from Detroit, says it’s her younger brother Miles she’s protecting.
“I do wear a mask even though I’m fully vaccinated,” she says. “If I get it, I could spread it to him, and that could be problematic.”
Such common sense and wisdom from a 14 and 12 yr old.
I would sign onto an agreement where we let the children dictate pandemic policy from here on out. They are much less indoctrinated which puts them ahead of half the population in this country.

More School Board Masking Hypocrisy. I can tell you emphatically that if that dude put his hands on me like that it would not end well for him. This is completely ridiculous.

Long-COVID symptoms less likely in vaccinated people, Israeli data say
People who’ve both been vaccinated and had COVID-19 are less likely to report fatigue and other health problems than unvaccinated people.Researchers in Israel report that people who have had both SARS-CoV-2 infection and doses of Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine were much less likely to report any of a range of common long-COVID symptoms than were people who were unvaccinated when infected. In fact, vaccinated people were no more likely to report symptoms than people who’d never caught SARS-CoV-2. The study has not yet been peer reviewed.
“Here is another reason to get vaccinated, if you needed one,” says co-author Michael Edelstein, an epidemiologist at Bar-Ilan University in Safed, Israel.
People with the debilitating condition called long COVID continue to experience symptoms — such as fatigue, shortness of breath and even trouble concentrating — weeks, months or years after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Some estimate that up to 30% of infected people, including many who were never hospitalized, have persistent symptoms.Regardless, Iwasaki says these findings are encouraging. “Long COVID is a terrible and debilitating disease. Any measures we can take to prevent long COVID are key to limiting more suffering in the future,” she says. “One more reason to get vaccinated.”
Mandates, mandates, mandates. Put it in law just like we've been doing with other vaccines for over a century and lets put this all behind us.

In lieu of the recent study, I have a new recommendation for those of you who've been infected. Please monitor your cardiovascular health closely. Do not engage in new, intense exercise without a visit to your doctor. If you notice ANY strange symptoms: persistent/severe headaches, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, etc. Get checked out immediately! If you're over 40 and have never had a "heart scan", there are MANY great tests available that are covered by insurance. Screening saves lives and lightens the burden on our economy!
Since the cardiovascular risk appears to be 12 mos. after infection, perhaps consider adding "heart-friendly" supplements like Omega-3. And if you're really nervous, a daily baby aspirin may change your odds slightly.
Just remember, be careful about random highly strenuous activities. Start new exercise routines slowly.

Heart-disease risk soars after COVID — even with a mild case
Massive study shows a long-term, substantial rise in risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke, after a SARS-CoV-2 infection.Even a mild case of COVID-19 can increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular problems for at least a year after diagnosis, a new study1 shows. Researchers found that rates of many conditions, such as heart failure and stroke, were substantially higher in people who had recovered from COVID-19 than in similar people who hadn’t had the disease.
What’s more, the risk was elevated even for those who were under 65 years of age and lacked risk factors, such as obesity or diabetes.
“It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, it doesn’t matter if you smoked, or you didn’t,” says study co-author Ziyad Al-Aly at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and the chief of research and development for the Veterans Affairs (VA) St. Louis Health Care System. “The risk was there.”
Al-Aly and his colleagues based their research on an extensive health-record database curated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The researchers compared more than 150,000 veterans who survived for at least 30 days after contracting COVID-19 with two groups of uninfected people: a group of more than five million people who used the VA medical system during the pandemic, and a similarly sized group that used the system in 2017, before SARS-CoV-2 was circulating.
Don't be alarmed/jealous/triggered at the persistent appearance of prescience regarding my posts on the matter since day 1. You too can look like the smartest guy on the board. All you have to do is unplug, open your eyes, and think logically based on the data available at the time.

Fortunately the majority of the country is not actively engaged on Twitter. Also, as a bonus, most of the country look for commonality first between us and not differences. With all of that being said, the fringe and dividers for power will always yell the loudest during an election year.

The problem isn’t the politics of the virus. That just better exposed the issue. The problem is that there are two ideologies within this country; one that is individualist, and one that is collective. As long as those two ideologies are prevalent, every act and every opinion will be political in nature, and will be used by those in power to gain more power. What has been happening will, unfortunately, continue well beyond the next 9 months.
