[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2279270, member: 365308"] I am trying to be balanced here so I hope these 2 articles might shed some light: [URL]https://gh.bmj.com/content/5/5/e002819[/URL] This author afvocates wearing masks because there is 'limited' and 'mechanistic' evidence that masks combined with hand washing would help reduce transmission. This author takes a wider look at the ethics and legality as well as the efficacy of wearing a mask. [URL]https://architectsforsocialhousing.co.uk/2020/06/11/the-science-and-law-of-refusing-to-wear-masks-texts-and-arguments-in-support-of-civil-disobedience/[/URL] Wearing a mask assumes that this virus is especially prevalent and transmissable in schools but we should question that idea given the very low transmission rates amongst chilcren and from children to adults. We might also think about the anxiety we are creating by the new (ab) normal measures being taken in a culture of safetyism. Then there is the harm done by not running schools at the capacity they were designed for. I am having to submit to wearing a mask and having my temp taken on my return to work but it seems to me that these measures are being done to reassure our members/clients and build confidence rather than a necessary precaution.
