Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Board of Education discussed additional ways to disseminate important communications to parents and whether or not masks will be required on school busses. For NJ Transit masks are STILL REQUIRED onboard vehicles and inside enclosed stations, but are no longer required on outdoor platforms or at bus stops.
On July 19th the American Academy of Pediatrics (APP)recommended that all children over the age of 2 wear masks when returning to school this year, regardless of vaccination status.
The AAP, which said its important for children to return to in-person learning this year, recommends that school staff also wear masks. The AAP is calling the new guidance a “layered approach.”
The AAP said universal masking is necessary because much of the student population is not vaccinated, and it’s hard for schools to determine who is as new variants emerge that might spread more easily among children.
Children 12 and over are eligible for Covid-19 vaccinations in the U.S. And the FDA said last week that emergency authorization for vaccines for children under 12 could come in early to midwinter.
(Saint) Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to the president, said on CNN Monday that the guidance makes sense.
Saint Fauci said, “When you have a degree of viral dynamics in the community, and you have a substantial proportion of the population that is unvaccinated, that you really want to go the extra step, the extra mile to make sure that there’s not a lot of transmission, even breakthrough infections among vaccinated individuals,”
Universal masking will also protect students and staff from other respiratory illnesses that could keep kids out of school, the AAP said.
Child abuse continues.
There comes a time when we just say no. This is it!
You’re right! Who cares what those doctors say? They don’t really know anything! It’s more important that our kids go back into the world. Kids today are so soft, and all those lefty parents coddle them too much. We need to get them out there, no masks, it’ll toughen them up!
There is a zero point zero percent chance any of my elementary school aged kids get injected with an experimental gene therapy drug (it ain’t a vaccine people) that is outside of legal recourse – hoping to get FDA approval by 2023. This of course is where they are trying to guide people.
There were a TOTAL of 400 deaths attributed to 10 year olds in the US in the past 18 months. I’m sure the flu does more damage among many other things annually.
You can tell they are starting the conversation – I think this is where most logical people draw the line.
Keep drinking the liberal kool aid. U r exactly what they hope for in someone who can’t see thru the msm bs and how the government wants to control ur life.
It should be an option that if there is a child that has an underlying medical condition, then it should be Dealt with.
