New people who enter a child's life matter a lot in their development.
Friends, teachers... These are key encounters in a young persons life.
We didn't evolve to just see eyes outside the home.

And the unvaccinated? I was talking generic spread from kids hence immunocompromised. But those are two groups who are at risk from kids.

KN95 is the Chinese equivalent of N95, so they're all made in China anyway. Not sure how helpful this is for kids, since they generally need smaller masks, but one way of determining if a KN95 mask is up to scratch or not is to see if the manufacturer received FDA emergency authorisation back when true N95s were difficult to come by.

I don't want to go to Disney masked either, so I'm just going to wait for the pandemic to end. Until it does, I think Disney is right to have mitigations in place.

Sure, making sure Little Timmy doesn't get sick and infect and potentially kill his mother is totally stupid, because Little Timmy "will be *fine"
*Little Timmy may, in fact, develop long-term complications from a novel virus that negatively impact his health down the road, and there's simply no way of knowing that yet.
Why do YOU refuse to acknowledge that letting children spread the virus (even if many children have few immediate symptoms) is a bad idea for everybody, including them?

You think this ends?
Yes it ends in a matter of months.

Timmy's mother has been vaccinated with Pfizer-Pfizer-Moderna and her risk is basically zero too.
And yes, "basically zero," or "practically zero," or "effectively zero" is as good as it's going to get. Risk will never be eliminated entirely.

It literally isn't "basically" or "practically" or "effectively" zero, though, and won't be for as long as we continue to let the virus spread amongst unprotected people (including children) where it can form new variants that the Vaccines don't protect against.
Your point isn't nearly as solid as you think it is and people are dead because of that line of thinking.

I have immunocompromised inlaws so yes we've been wearing masks around them at all times and not eating with them since the beginning except for a short window last summer this was under guidance of their by their doctor

Absolutely. Every bad thing does eventually. Why don’t you think it will?

Spread is going to continue among people forever.
Covid 0 is not going to happen. That’s what the scientists are saying.
So what’s your point again?

How Does a Pandemic End?
Nobody quite knows how the COVID-19 pandemic will end. Here's what we can learn from the 1918 flu
Yes, even if we did nothing it would end, we’d just have a higher death toll before it happened.
Had it not mutated to Delta it probably would have ended 6 months ago, thankfully Omicron happened and cut Deltas death toll short… Omicron has a very good chance of ending this with how infectious it is and it’s antibodies being effective against the other strains, as long as it doesn’t mutate into something that evades omicron antibodies it’s likely over in another month or two.

The point is that suddenly ditching mitigation efforts, even for "the sake of the kidz", is idiotic and will put more children in harms way than it will remove from it. Some directly from developing illness, and others indirectly from people around them falling ill.
You're the one who brough up Covid 0, not me. I agree that it's important to learn to live with the virus, but that means engaging in long-term strategy, not throwing caution to the wind.

Sorry to hear that the entire planet struggling to manage the virus is inconvenient to your aspirations for mankind. No doubt we'd reach our zenith as a species if we'd just listen to you.

Did you advocate for masking children during flu season prior to March 2020? If not, why not?
Does Covid-19 in children have a milder course than Influenza? - PubMed
COVID-19 and Influenza may share similar clinical features. According to our findings, however, we believe that COVID-19 disease has a milder clinical and laboratory course than Influenza in children.

It is the narrative that some are gullible enough to believe and or push.People need to relax. Children are not being psychologically or socially damaged from having to wear a mask. Children have no problem wearing a mask. Some people need to stop inventing problems to complain about.
By the way, if the people so worried about children wearing masks had worn masks themselves from the beginning then those children wouldn't have to wear a mask now. See how that works?
Some people just like to complain.
