"It's just been very frustrating to know that the people that are in charge have decided they weren't going to listen to any of the science supporting masking in schools," Stephanie West said.

The very nature of children to naturally socialize to a high degree for "play" is exactly why they are often the biggest spreaders and carriers of what are well-known as the "childhood diseases", and this can include other pathogens like rotavirus and norovirus, and those latter ones aren't even actually spread by "airborne" means like coronaviruses.

Just because something is called "COVID-19" doesn't automatically exempt it from being something that can be a "childhood disease" like so many other viruses before it.
