I am so angry all the time these days at how these realities have been dismissed.
Case in point: while my city's schools required masking, not one of the kids in my building got covid. Since masking became optional, six out of the seven school-aged kids have gotten covid (and the seventh kid attends a specialized school for kids with disabilities). I'm recovering from covid myself right now after my kid got it -- one of the kids in the building got it at school and three more kids plus four of the parents got it as a result, while our schools deny that in-school transmission even exists. Literally one of the kids in the building got covid the week after masks became optional despite continuing to wear a mask herself, and the school nurse insisted that she could not have gotten it at school because there wasn't a case in her classroom. Except 1) in-person school for her was literally the only exposure her extremely careful family had (these people were still getting all their groceries delivered, that's how careful I'm talking about), and 2) the nurse *also* said that she would not be in the (optional) testing pool for four months after her return to school, highlighting the fact that they did not actually know if there had been a case in her classroom. Our schools claimed that only 39 cases of in-school transmission happened in all of 2021-2022, which is just such obvious bullshit it's offensive.
