teachercd Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I have a feeling this will become a thing. If I was in HS and could just walk out and say I was worried about getting sick and I want to learn from home...I would be all over it https://abc7ny.com/brooklyn-tech-school-walkout-nyc-remote-learning-student/11456041/ 1 Link to comment

I am against it but I also don't want to end up doing remote teaching again. If it's something a business decides they want to enforce in their establishment, that's great, and it is their right to do so. Anytime the government starts telling businesses what they have to do.... I don't like it. The whole shutdown thing was an incredible government overreach, and still pisses me off when I think about. Having said that, I don't mind wearing a mask in places where there are vulnerable people, or heavily crowded places where there might be such people. In the end, it's not a huge ask, even if the effectiveness of them seems to be in question.... Unless I'm outside. I'm not wearing a f****** mask outside. 3 Link to comment

At least this junk seems to follow flu trends and lets us unmask in Summer. #smallblessings 1 Link to comment

Or 43% of those hospitalized in New York who are in there "with" Covid, and not "because" of Covid. 3 1 Link to comment

What about all those people you tried to tell me couldn’t get photo ID to vote?? Edit…and I agree on the main point. people should not compare things to the Holocaust. It never works out for them.

BigRedBuster Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I find problems with these mask mandates. The major one is, how is it enforced? The municipality should be wording this as, we strongly encourage people to wear masks indoors in public places. There is no real way to enforce this and it turns out like threatening your grade school kid with punishment that you know you can't do. They figure it out pretty fast and rebel against it, instead of actually thinking about why you're asking them to do it. I also don't see how this law suit has legs since there are municipalities all across the country doing this. Link to comment
