Think of a virus where 70% of kids are totally asymptomatic, less than 1% have severe symptoms, and less than 0.05% die. Phew that's no big deal for kids then! Don't worry about them!

The @nytimes surveyed more than 500 epidemiologists. And 80% of them thought Americans would need to wear masks in public indoor places for at least another year.

I think states should hold until 6/15 to lift indoor mask mandates

Why?
Is it because fully vaccinated folks are at risk if they go maskless?
No
Do vaccinated people spread the virus? Not really
So why? and why 6/15?
Mainly because of when vaccines became available
