Schools requiring masks makes little sense. Children becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 almost never happens. Children spreading COVID-19 to adults is also very rare. And even if it were not, the evidence of masks working in real-world settings is very thin. Nearly all randomized control clinical trials about effects of general mask wearing on COVID-19 found either no effect or a negative effect. The largest one, the Danish Study, found no effect. It is not even clear whether masks which are mostly worn work against COVID-19 in laboratory settings. Most masks that people wear cannot stop airborne viruses, they can only stop droplets. And it is not clear whether COVID-19 is mostly spread by droplets, or perhaps mostly using viruses freely floating in the air, like measles spreads. The MIT study suggests COVID-19 mostly spreads via airborne spread, and not via droplets. If so, the entire premise of most non-pharmaceutical-interventions such as staying six feet away from others and cloth mask wearing is wrong. But the science of COVID-19 has become so politicized it is impossible to have reasonable discussion about those things.
