This is a great way to psychologically permanently impair an entire generation of children who will not learn to read or mimic facial expressions.

yet again the US is months behind other places. which is why the US got hit so hard in the first place. the whole point of wearing a mask, is to protect everyone else from the wearer of the mask. so with parents out and about, doing things like working and shopping, they are in fact a risk to their kids, and others who don't leave the home as much. wearing masks at home has been recommended for months, if not over a year already where i am. in fact it was only very recently that children over the age of five years old were allowed to leave home a all (started with children under 21 years old, and dropped the ages every few months).
but it really is no surprise the US is so behind in sensible precautions, since they never even had proper lockdowns in the first place. just psudo lockdowns that only looked like they were doing something, as they tried to appease both sides of the political debate they caused to happen over the pandemic.
it really is no wonder a friend can't get the surgery he needs right now in the US, because all of the eight hospitals anywhere near his area are all full, with no free beds.
