CDC Says In-Person Teaching "Priority" This Fall, But Mask Mandates Will Remain

SIEGEL: “Well, first of all, guys, I’m happy with the first part of that at least they’re coming out and saying they want in person learning. With all the damage rachel will say that’s been done to children by them not being in person for so long, and having to learn remotely when you are three years old. So hooray for that but in terms of masks, there’s a lot of problems with that getting a 3-year-old to wear a mask. There is the issue of the socialization when you have that mask. My 16-year-old confided something in me the other day. He said taking a test with a mask on is extremely difficult and it interferes with performance. I never heard that before. You know, and then there is the risk of getting dizzy and having carbon dioxide retention and also the fact that teachers are already vaccinated, most of them and the fact it’s based on how much virus is in the area. We are talking about many areas where there is no vice around at all. And, most importantly, the risk of spread of Covid-19 from kid to kid has been found to be less than 1%.”
