I imagine children's physical health is actually being severely affected as well, especially for children in lower income families.
I would expect less physical movement overall (bad), more respiratory issues from over-wearing masks, anxiety manifesting as physical issues, and a host of other second order effects.
And let's not forget that poorer kids worldwide are facing less access to dentists and other preventative medicine overall. That people are letting this stuff slide while 'health' companies post record profits is maddening.
- option 5y agoI often run (maskless of course) on the street where I can see public’s school stadium. Kids there wear masks outside while running around stadium during PE class. What kind of insanity is this??! This is in Santa Clara county, CA.
- astrange 5y agoMasks outside are good actually. It’s cold outside and they’re warm. You can’t wear a scarf while running.
- option 5y agogood try. But Santa Clara county isn’t exactly a cold place, and they do it when it is +30C. I know parents whose kid actually fainted during PE outside.
- astrange 5y agoI mean it’s surprisingly cold right now. Isn’t calling anything under 55F freezing part of the California lifestyle? But yes in summer the only real upside is getting to dress like a bank robber.
