My kids' schools in still have mask requirements (elementary and middle school), and the university I work for still has mask requirements indoors when in groups (I sit in my office all day without a mask). I believe both mandates will be reviewed again in January. I am in Ohio.

I went to college in Ohio.  Lived in Dublin after for a few years before moving back to KS

How many of you are in districts (school) that are still masking up?

 

 

Douglas county CO is masking again, because the old school board sued the new DC medical board on behalf of 9 parents who’s kids were at risk.
Full online is an option each term. The old school board was replaced in the last election. Not sure if the lawsuit will be withdrawn now. In my daughters school, masks are optional. Not sure how they get away with that. we have not had any major outbreaks at schools this year. We have received about a dozen notices that my kids may have been exposed. We test them with home kits when they show cold symptoms of any type. So far no positives. The schools are making kids were masks again to play basketball in their gyms, but the rec center doesn’t require them. It all makes so much sense. Personally I would rather not play hoops with a mask on my face.

In fairness I should've said "extremely limited mitigation".

 

Do you support his policies? Do you think they led to any unnecessary deaths?

I support not engaging you and your falsehoods anymore in this thread.  There is not point.

That's because you know the answer is yes. And you voted for it, twice.

No, it’s because you continuously post falsehoods.  I thought I wrote that pretty clearly

Then say it. If you believe that Trumps decision to have Dr. Atlas head the COVID Task Force - who advocated for natural herd immunity - did not cost lives, just say so.

Please post information showing he was the head of the Covid task force.

You are correct - he was not the head of the Task Force, but was brought on as an advisor - despite not being an infectious disease expert or epidemiologist. I was incorrect in stating as much. 

 

He was a rising star within the Presidents' inner circle of advisors, as Trump enjoyed his view regarding the pandemic.

 

So I ask you, again, do you think Trumps choice to bring a non-expert advisor from a Republican Think Tank was the correct move? Do you think it cost the lives of Americans? I've asked you many times, and your lack of response causes me to think you actually know the correct answer.

Do you think we end up seeing a huge increase in cases after the holidays?

I think you'll see an uptick in cases, but I'm hopeful that Merck and Pfizer's antiviral treatments, combined with some level of immunity across the populous, will result in far fewer deaths and severe illness.
