If you happen to be a reader on this site you may have noticed I don't blog much Covid, masks anymore. There's a reason. We've been Covid-ed to death. Most people have made up their minds already and we have more important things to do in our lives that worry about what we can't solve.
It happens I'm not a big fan of the CDC. It seems they stick their collective noses into anything and everything. Lately, these people have issued dictums on language that should not be accepted in society. They are supporting 'Wokeism'. Then, last week they came out with ideas on gun violence. That's okay. I don't pay any attention to them up until today and the reason is they issued a report on the efficacies of masks in schools. I'm not surprised by their findings. Maybe some people should read more than have kneejerk reactions to what the neighbors and school administrators tell them.
The study, which analyzed some 90,000 elementary students in 169 Georgia schools from November 16 to December 11, found that there was no statistically significant difference in schools that required students to wear masks compared to schools where masks were optional.
“The 21% lower incidence in schools that required mask use among students was not statistically significant compared with schools where mask use was optional,” the CDC said. "This finding might be attributed to higher effectiveness of masks among adults, who are at higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection but might also result from differences in mask-wearing behavior among students in schools with optional requirements." https://fee.org/articles/cdc-schools-with-mask-mandates-didn-t-see-statistically-significant-different-rates-of-covid-transmission-from-schools-with-optional-policies/
