Schools are superspreaders
I love the covid-aware community, but goddamn if I am not bored to tears from hearing about how few people y'all saw wearing masks at the grocery store.
It's been this way for years now. We know! We get it!
The question is, what are we doing about it?

Schools are superspreaders
For the record, I'm burned out after spending three years fighting for covid-safe schools.
I used public records to expose negligence on the part of school districts.
I appealed to countless others for help: school board members, administrators, colleagues, students' families, elected officials, OSHA, journalists and more.
No one helped.
What got results for my family was LEAVING in-person education and getting online teaching jobs.

@Njord "I wear a mask" strikes me as an individualized solution to a collective problem, like fighting climate change by riding a bike. A handful of people are still masking, but are they convincing a majority of others to do the same? Let's be honest: They aren't. We know this, because the situation hasn't changed for years. Individuals choosing to wear masks isn't making a dent in the pandemic. It isn't enough to make a difference. We need collective action to change policy.

I think masking in public is the best thing that we can do.
My mother resumed masking, after she saw a handful of people wearing masks at the grocery store, for example. So many people seem to decide whether to mask or not based on social cues instead of science
