roads have speed limits, stop signs, lights, kids cant sit in the front, without car seats, and many other laws and regulations, let alone rules the driver must abide by (licenses, no drinking, etc).

Thats what we do to protect children from driving accidents. Asking to wear a mask seems quite minor compared to all of the above. And I cant stand seeing my daughters, and my teacher wife, wear a mask. It sucks.

I agree its a tiny death number and get the vaccine. We shouldnt make it out to be bigger than it is, but comparing covid deaths of children to car accidents or drownings, isnt really telling the whole story. If we can do anything to protect our children from potential disease, death, and potentially long term side effects, that is a small inconvenience, shouldn't we do so?

I much rather have the kids wear masks than go back to hybrid or distance learning.
