The Emmy's were a single event with a few thousand people, it would likely be be impossible to test millions of kids frequently enough not to mention for the schools to manage it.

Many, many schools do regular testing. Most colleges tested students weekly all last year. Not sure what planet you've ben living on. My son's school tests everyone, every two weeks. What else ya got?

Just keep making stuff out of thin air, Mr Common Sense, as long as it serves The Narrative.

Nation wide there are some 80 million students, not to mention a lot of states and schools that would refuse to do it. Doesn't seem like the protocols in place right now are that demanding, why change if the rates of infection are still too high?

ok let’s make it really simple.

so in my sons school, where every kid is vaccinated and every kid is tested every other week, why should he have to wear a mask, especially when they are socially distancing, , while these adults ( a far riskier group) aren’t required to do so, while sitting on top of one another.

That would be, because life isn't fair.

Don't feel bad, most Karens failed to learn that lesson.

Because it's the law.

what’s the logic behind it?

how does it make sense?

are you afraid guys become a menstruating person, if you just admitted the optics are awful?

i tried 3-4 times here. you guys just can’t be reasoned with unless it’s an issue that paints liberalism favorably.

To help curtail the spread of covid, Jim.

I don't see what the big deal is. Most schools aren't fully vaccinated or do routine testing. Having multiple sets of rules for different schools just adds another layer of burden for both the schools and the state to comply with. If the masking gets your school down to zero cases for the year then I'd say that would be a dramatic success.

Funny how you want to call out the vaccinated and tested Hollywood elite yet say nothing about the tens of thousands of mask less football fans packed into stadiums this fall screaming at the top of their lungs.

even if it were black letter law, i asked about the logic.

There was a time, thanks to Spences side, when the law codified slavery and segregation. did we just say “wish we could do something, but the law is the law”? Or did we question the law until it was repealed? same with gay marriage.

because masks make good sheep training....

remember Fauxshi said triple mask are a good idea...I think that was before the delta variant so 5-6 masks is probably the way to go

Great timing for that lame argument.

New York City announced today that they will test all public school children weekly.

Same thing in Los Angeles...

Would you care to recant?
