Nor do we want them dictating/influencing social or political behavior, but they do and it's happening at an increasing rate. America has been dumbing down for decades and the bottom half is taking over.

Yeah, but masks to prevent infections isn't one of them.

That sort of makes you think about re-evaluating "above average".

Well, ideally everyone would wear a power assisted personal respirator (PAPR) but they cost about $1500 each. One mask is a lot better than none. Personally, I cannot bother with two as one well fitted, conscientiously used mask is probably good enough. The recommendation for two is because most people are using substandard cloth masks and don't know how they should fit. The advice is not for medical professionals but for the lay public.

Gee, partisan whining from some fool who thinks all Democrats are socialists. And that the earth is flat. What a surprise. Yada yada yada. :)

We open the schools when public health officials/CDC/NIH experts say it's time. Until then, the kids will be all right. Not perfect, but better than spreading the virus to their families and neighbors.

You forgot the unions. They’re the only ones holding up Philadelphia’s school opening. We’ll see how Monday goes. All your mentioned groups have said. “ schools can safely open”. Only the teachers’ union says “ no “

He said the CDC says we can do it. Is he lying about it?

This is apparently a local issue. Has nothing to do with Biden despite comments from federal government partisan nut jobs.

It is strange that not one dem would voted against it or a repub for it.

So the CDC is not involved in local issues?
