The weird obsession in the US with masking toddlers and children is absolutely baffling to me.

- henrikschroder 5y agoPeople who are myopically obsessed with how the pandemic is being handled in their immediate vicinity, without knowing what it looks like in other parts of the world, I'm guessing. Throughout most of Europe, you would be viewed as an extreme child-abusing weirdo if you suggest masking toddlers or small children is a good thing.
- NineStarPoint 5y agoAre children less likely to spread the disease than adults? You don’t wear masks to protect yourself, they’re generally bad at that, you wear them to not spread disease to others.
- henrikschroder 5y ago> Are children less likely to spread the disease than adults? Yes, because you have to be infected in the first place, which kids are less likely to be, and if you are infected, your contagiousness is proportional to how sick you are, and since kids are often less sick and often asymptomatic, they also spread it less.
