Yes, I believe that dropping the mask mandates now is premature

Wearing a mask is not harming our kids newrepublic.com/article/165306…

Let’s focus on the fact that over 167,000 children have lost a parent/caregiver to #COVID19. Not to mention all the children who have lost someone they loved deeply.(Grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling,cousin…) @JanethNunezdelP @Jerri3dz @MarkedByCovid @covid_loss @missinmycomfort

So instead of arguing over a piece of cloth that does absolutely no harm, let’s think about these children dealing with #covidloss & grief. They need support. They need help. They need to be shown love & empathy. We need to focus on this NOT masks! @Jerri3dz @Tara_Swanigan
