But, not as much as previously, now that the virus appears to be waning. And kids, by and large, do not get seriously ill if they do catch it. I think common sense should reign, and continue spacing. And abide by CDC recos if the virus returns.

It will bring the pandemic back to higher numbers of I'll and dying. The kids wearing masks because they have responsible, caring adult parents will be bullied by the mask less kids who have childish parents acting like 2 year olds having tantrums

Seriously? If there is any bullying going on, it is by the "virtuous" mask-wearing kids of anyone who does not go along with them. That is the toxic environment in the schools. But you can ignore the science of the kids being safe without masks, my kids will happily ignore your kids.

Kids can survive covid in a week if they get it and masks arn't good for them

The masks are proven to work against spreading the virus. I am also concerned about the School Board overreaching and bending to the anti-maskers. Would these same people who claim masks don't work want their surgeon to show up for a procedure without a mask?

Because the vaccinated rate is so low and hospitals are full

The hospitals are not full because of kids who are unvaccinated. The important things are the fact that the IMMUNITY rate (combined natural immunity and vaccinated immunity) is VERY high, and Omicron is of almost zero threat to kids. It is time to consider all risks, and assess the risks.

No, I'm not concerned!

No one should be wearing masks, they don't work and if kids get it they can survive and get over it in a week

Over 1,000 children in the US have died from covid. It's a disgrace that you represent the LDS church.

You can't just make up facts to fit your narrative. Per the CDC website, over 1,000 children in the United States have died from covid. Let me guess, "pro-life"?

Stanford study. 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.

2 in 1 million are at risk for severe disease. That is certainly less than the amount of depression, anxiety or suicides alone. The collateral damage has been devastating.

It has been medically proven that long term mask usage is harmful to your immune system, which if overprotected can stop functioning correctly. Not to mention the physiological problems they create.

Masking our children, who are breathing their damaging expelled bacteria and Co2 for eight + hours a day five days a week, is NOT okay! I know public Schools are being incentivized with money from our Governmen Public tax dollars. There is a huge conflict of interest there! Freedom of choice!

Discipline and technique of mask wearing among the general populous is not effective. This is evident by the omicron surge which occurred during a mask mandate. I feel that the social alienation caused by obscuring peoples faces outweigh the marginal benefits of poorly worn masks.

No. Masks are not that effective and more of a control tool of the Left. Yes, I wear a mask but it is so I don't get hassled.

Why would anyone be worried? This is Omicron, the kids are under effectively zero threat by it, and if one is worried about no masks, that person would have to be completely clueless about the science, which shows that the masks are doing nothing to stop omicron

CB, your stats are false. There is ZERO support for a claim of 1,000 kids dying FROM COVID. Johns Hopkins: a research team reviewed about 48,000 cases of children under 18 reported to have COVID last year... “Our report found a mortality rate of 0% among children without a [PEC]

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
