Always was superstition, because they told us at the outset that masks don't work. I have been fighting this for over a year now, as have many of you. It is so stupid I just can't stand it. Now kids have to wear a mask AND the shield on school buses. I can't take it!!
You are so not alone! That's way beyond stupid when the elite have been saying all along that children are not spreaders of the virus and are the least impacted by it. This whole thing is nuts.
