COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

Today is the first day since March 2020 that my kids have gone to school in person without a mask. For my oldest, that covers her 12th grade spring through college sophomore spring. For my youngest it's 9th through 11th grade. Throughout that time they were either remote or in a masked classroom.

I'm happy to stop wearing the mask, especially since it turned into a farce a long time ago (the masked walk to the restaurant table..lol) but I hate that my kids have been subjected to masking in class long past the point where the science said don't bother. Hopefully they can make up the lost ground.
