MASKS: Kids and numbers

| August 25, 2021 1:00 AM

Mask: The weave opening found in cloth masks is .02 centimeters. The size of the COVID-19 virus is .01 centimeters. With the virus smaller than the woven holes in the cloth masks, why are we putting masks on children?

Children’s noses: Medical experts note that children’s noses do not fully develop until puberty or after. The noses mature at 14.7 years for girls and 15.8 years for boys. COVID-19 needs a mature nose for the virus to attach itself to the back of the nose. So why are we masking children 0-14 years old? They cannot get it, retain it or spread it.

Adults such as teachers are the spreaders, not the children. The only exceptions in children are ones with autoimmune diseases, those with cancer, leukemia and the like.

Fudging numbers: CDC is counting children as 0-18. But there are hardly any cases for children 0-14. They are doing this so they can bring up the numbers of children cases. This is helped by supposedly 18-year-old illegal immigrants. With the 18-year-old illegal immigrants (or 21 years old pretending to be 18), 50 percent of them are COVID-19-positive.

Stop torturing and abusing our children with closed schools and mask mandates. The facts do not support these measures.
