No need to test for us :( Those living in my house mask all the time in public and have had a single cold in 5 years. Every family member we'd visit does no such thing and would not test anyway.

We'll keep on protecting ourselves and letting others decide that they just don't care enough to.

Vraiment. Je porte toujours un chandails anti-UV et mes gars aussi. Bien content que ça ne soit pas la réalité ici.

Mask bans coming to a school near you soon too!

See: www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/travaux-p...

My kids' school confirmed that prevention is not a health reason in their view.

Totally normal things that happened at the Tour every year, right? /s

Yup. But they're the only ones out of >1,000 students and all the staff at their school.

I just convinced the school to include their masks in their intervention plan so they decide if they ever take it off (they are very unlikely to do so), not teachers. Gotta protect your best students, I guess?

Everything to do with schools in Quebec is about to see a mask ban given the new Bill: www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/travaux-p...

Our PCP doesn't recognize "don't want to get sick" as a health reason to wear a mask under this proposed law. So our kids are screwed once it comes into effect.

Projet de loi 94 will remove that right for anyone in a school unless you can -prove- that you're doing it for health reasons: www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/travaux-p...

Our PCP has so far refused to confirm that our kids are masking for health reasons because they have no preexisting condition.

Meanwhile, my son's GP just denied him getting a note that says he wears a mask for health reasons (not catching bugs) so he can keep wearing it at school.

Being forced to be exposed to covid (and all other airborne pathogens) all day is next level cruelty.

Are we sure the Fall of Rome is not the cause?

If we're going with long shot explanations, why should we stop at a few months of somewhat limited social interactions 5 years ago?

Yup, that's why I have to figure out how to get a doctor's note to put on my kids' school file so teacher stop asking them to take off their respirators for silly reasons.

I don't know that doctors will write an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" kind of note...

It's higher than I expected. But that's because I don't expect healthy choices from parents given how few masks are worn at school.

Got the same thing. It feels like it might be wrong!
