I'm pretty sure I heard this last night (Apr 19) between about 10pm and midnight. The guy kept coming around every 15 minutes or so.
it's like a group of people who oppose disease. and communist takeover of public land.
Children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear masks. This is based on the safety and overall interest of the child and the capacity to appropriately use a mask with minimal assistance.
WHO and UNICEF advise that the decision to use masks for children aged 6-11 should be based on the following factors:WHO and UNICEF advise that children aged 12 and over should wear a mask under the same conditions as adults, in particular when they cannot guarantee at least a 1-metre distance from others and there is widespread transmission in the area.
- Whether there is widespread transmission in the area where the child resides
- The ability of the child to safely and appropriately use a mask
- Access to masks, as well as laundering and replacement of masks in certain settings (such as schools and childcare services)
- Adequate adult supervision and instructions to the child on how to put on, take off and safely wear masks
- Potential impact of wearing a mask on learning and psychosocial development, in consultation with teachers, parents/caregivers and/or medical providers
- Specific settings and interactions the child has with other people who are at high risk of developing serious illness, such as the elderly and those with other underlying health conditions
Oh, I had not realized the science around face masks was settled, the website says they are safe, got it!
Ever read James Nestor, Breathe? The nose is for breathing the mouth is for eating. The problem is masks make you mouth breath, mouth breathing is devastating to your health. So these children K-2nd grade go 30 hours a week with a 20 minute lunch break. Then they are usually good for about another 10 hours during the week at the park. So 40 plus hours in a mask. how many hours do you put in? How many breaks do you get? We are asking these children to take on a serious burden, they do it because they are obedient. I strongly disagree with you both above, the long term affect of these could be catastrophic. Recently released from Stanford .....
“ Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.”
