Hello, I started the other chain and want to keep this discussion going. My dear friend is a Speech Language Pathologist and wrote this well-thought out letter we’re trying to get out to the public. I’d also recommend reading this article published today: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/01/kids-masks-schools-weak-science/621133/?utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_source=twitter&utm_term=2022-01-26T13%3A25%3A59&s=01

From a local Speech Therapist who wants to remain anonymous for fear of the backlash she’ll get from voicing very valid, logical concerns:

I am writing to voice my serious concerns about the indefinite orders for young children to wear face masks to participate in society. I am writing as a parent of a 4 year old currently enrolled in a preschool that requires them (as well as a newborn son who I hope will never have to wear one). In addition, I write as a licensed school-based speech-language pathologist, with concerns on the effects of prolonged facial covering on speech, language, and social development for children.

Please first note that the United States, and particularly King County/Washington State, is an outlier in our approach to masking children. Consider that the World Health Organization does not recommend masks until age 6, and only selectively for children up to 11. Many countries do not mandate or even recommend masks for children under 12. Consider that many parts of our own country do not mask school children of any age, instead instituting a masking-optional policy.

Even if our current mask policies were clearly beneficial in protecting children from infection and preventing transmission (which is unlikely, given scarce quality, real-world evidence for cloth masks under the best of conditions [e.g. worn properly, not soaked in saliva as children’s often are]), we have done a terrible job of calculating the benefit to cost ratio of such a policy. When we thought perhaps children would wear masks for 2 weeks, or 2 months, perhaps it is forgivable that we failed to do this analysis. But we have now reached the 2 year mark of this pandemic, without any serious analysis of whether or not masking children has a net positive, and without any explicit “off-ramp” metrics; how long will we subjugate the children to these measures? We have reached a point in the pandemic where it no longer makes sense to continue untested mitigations without any regard for the downsides.

We have to ask, Why are we still masking children? Is it to protect them from Covid? If so, it is beyond evident that Covid poses an astonishingly small risk to children; this is particularly true of the Omicron variant now dominant in our area. Is it to protect the adults around them? If so, remember that vaccinations and boosters are effective against severe disease and are free/available to all who want them. Is it to reduce community spread? If so, please see studies that show real-world use of cloth masks are ineffective at significantly reducing transmission (among adults; children are less likely to even wear them properly). Why can adults spend hours unmasked in restaurants and bars and sporting events, while we make the children mask for hours during their most pivotal years of development?

Now consider all of the possible downsides to forcing children to wear masks for hours on end, in school and community settings, including effects on speech/language development, socialization, mental health, physical health, etc.

As a speech therapist in the local schools, I am absolutely baffled about how to provide meaningful speech therapy to children when neither of us can see one another’s mouth. How to teach a sound when they cannot see a competent speaker model it? Now consider an entire generation of children who may be more at risk of speech sound delays and language delays simply because they have been denied copious modeling due to universal face masking. As a speech therapist, I also treat social communication disorders, which includes difficulty with social aspects such as nonverbal communication (facial expressions, eye contact, body language) and interacting with peers (turn-taking, responding to questions). Humans are deeply social creatures and we have evolved to communicate so much nonverbally. We now have a generation of children who rarely see their peers’ faces, might often misunderstand their peers; tone of speech, etc. Regarding physical health, could children’s damp cloth masks harbor microorganisms harmful to their health? Could it cause them to touch their face more often, spreading other illnesses more? Could it restrict oxygenation in any way, when worn for hours on end?

Finally, two anecdotes to illustrate the impact to my son’s social emotional learning at school:
1. We were talking about masks and my son chimed in, “You know what is silly? When they take our picture at school, they tell us to smile but it’s silly because they can’t see our mouth.”
2. When the class pictures were taken and distributed, my son couldn’t recognize any of the people in the picture. He had only seen them masked for months.

I think that we as a society have completely failed to correctly calculate the cost benefit analysis of mitigation strategies for our children. Perhaps it is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, but we have an opportunity to change moving forward.
I do not intend to trivialize the serious nature of this pandemic, nor the risks to certain demographics, nor the children who have gotten ill and even tragically died from this disease. But it is myopic and detrimental to focus on these risks without also thinking of all the other harms our mitigation efforts have wrought. This email alone may be inconsequential in decision-making for our preschool, or our city, or county, or state, but I can’t live with myself any longer without having tried to change things for my children and others. I expect decision-makers to say, “It’s out of our hands / it’s coming down from the board of health / it’s coming from the governor / we’re waiting for official guidance” – to them I say, History does not look kindly on those who are just following orders. How long will you wait to stand up for our children on your own accord? Please, be brave, be logical, be compassionate to the children who have already lost part of their fleeting childhood forever to the adults’ efforts to keep them “safe.”

Thank you – please speak up to local politicians so we can end this mandate as soon as humanly possible.

Well, this conversation sort of devolved. But for what it’s worth, I have an 11 year old who other than one friend, has only met with her friends outdoors, masked, for the past almost two years. They meet once weekly and NONE of them complain about continued masking outdoors. They have a covered outdoor area to hang out, space out while having dinner together, watched an outdoor movie last summer, had a backyard sleepover, all in their own tents…they are more happy to be together under these circumstances and wear a mask than not see friends. When omicron hit, we met with a large number of kids to sled–and all happily agreed to mask outdoors. Their masks don’t get snotty, as was mentioned at one point, we do wash them after each use. Kids are not complaining. It sounds like one parent is. Also, suggesting we put an end to the mask mandate in schools is just irresponsible.

Cheese, you are right about ONE thing: you have only a vague idea of biology. The facts are simple and are easy to find. Unless you listen only to Fox News, it is almost impossible to avoid knowing how Covid and vaccines work. To ask these kinds of questions two years into the pandemic demonstrates a profound commitment to ignorance.

[heartless]

Cheese,

I am a bit confused why you are not asking these questions of your doctor or, at least, of a medical professional staffing one of the many Covid related call centers.

Asking random strangers on a small, local internet message board just doesn’t seem like the best way to let yourself be convinced of anything. While relying solely on authority is of course a fallacy in itself, it does seem like your questions should be posed to medical professionals (for a couple different reasons).

[cheeseWS777]

But isnt the virus allways going to be being transmitted?
How can people not be scared-well i am not in the high risk catagorie and idk what it is now but when this first started 20% or something were a symptomatic. Thats 1 in 5 people. I am pretty sure i have had covid and while i only have a vague understanding of biology especially compared to a doctor i beleive how its suposed to work is i am suppsed to build up my own antibodys against the virus correct?

[cheeseWS777]

Is it wrong of me to assume that ALMOST all of those who are scared of covid are vaxed by now. If not why arent they? That just leaves those who arent scared so theres no matter there. So why cant things go back to normal?
The vax and mask requirments seem dumb to me at this point (before they were understandable but not now) because the vaxed can both still get sick and can still transmit the virus, so how is getting your shot suposed to help keep others safe? Seems to me that getting vaxed only helps you. Please tell me if and how this is wrong as i dont want to keep sharing this opinion if it is indeed harmfull but untill proven otherwise…

[Christina3Maria]

Curious if anyone happens to know anything about the helicopter that’s been circling near the Roxbury Safeway for at least the last 15 minutes?

[Vanessa]

FEMA dot gov

If you know someone who has died from COVID, FEMA has up to $35,500 dollars for reimbursement funds. Follow the .gov link and the information is there. It’s phone calls and I’m sure a lot of paperwork, no online applications. But wow.

[anonyme]

I’m in the same area and haven’t seen anything, but this used to be a frequent occurrence. The sales reps are not actually affiliated with Century Link, they are independent contractors. Impossible to say if the person you saw was an actual rep…or something else. It does seem odd that there would be any door-to-door activity during Covid. I’m on block watch, so I’ll keep an eye out for this. Thanks for looking out for your neighbors!

[djb347]

A middle aged caucasian man with short salt and pepper hair and a mustache knocked on our door this afternoon around 3pm. He lingered a bit after ringing the bell and then knocked on the door. I called CenturyLink and they said they didn’t believe they have anyone contacting prospective customers in this manner. I watched him continue down the block but couldn’t see if he actually knocked on more doors. I haven’t seen anyone going door to door in over six months, and it seemed to me more like he was looking for empty houses. We are in the area of 35th and 102nd, has anyone else had someone with a CenturyLink offer come to the door recently?

[Vanessa]

From my friend: I WEAR MY MASK IN PUBLIC FOR THREE REASONS:

1. Humility. I don’t know if I might have Covid as it is clear that people can spread the disease before they have symptoms.

2. Kindness. I don’t know if the person I am near has a child battling cancer or caring for an elderly parent. While I might be fine, they might not be….

3. Community. I want my community to thrive, businesses to stay open, employees to stay healthy. Keeping a lid on COVID helps us all.

[skeeter]

Admiralguy – I do get the point. I’m just chuckling because I have seen, literally, thousands of posts in my lifetime that follow some very similar formula as this. “I am upset because I received a citation for doing X. Meanwhile, some other person didn’t get a citation for doing Y even though Y is more serious than X.” Look, I don’t mean any ill will toward you. I’m glad you shared your experience. I just don’t see why you are upset with the city for enforcing a rule. Likely one of your neighbors complained that your car hasn’t moved for months and when the city investigated they noticed the expired tabs. In better news, if you haven’t used your car for months you might want to consider selling it. Used cars are going for insanely high prices these days and you could get a mint for it!
