In the midst of a heated nationwide debate on sending children back to school during the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Mike DeWine announced a statewide mask mandate for students headed to in-person school this fall.

The mandate affects grades K-12. Under previous guidance, only teachers and staff were required to wear face coverings. Schools were left to decide face covering policies. The state will work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to distribute two million masks to schools, DeWine said.

“Frankly this gives us the best shot that we can,” he said.

I did a quick google search and 17 kids under 5 have died from covid. Not many but wouldn’t want to be the parent of one.

No mention of the United States that I can see. Good grief indeed. lol

Considering children are essentially immune, this is just another means of the government conditioning Americans at a younger age than usual.

It’s outrageous, the fear that has been instilled in people over this virus. During a normal school year, children get the stomach virus, strep throat, flu, cold, coughs, plain sore throats, meningitis, mono -everything. It’s part of life. These idiots think they can prevent their children from getting sick. Thank goodness my children are grown so I don’t have to listen to the hand wringing moms and teachers.

Has anyone? I mean I think back to the motorcycle accident and they said he died of covid because they tested the corpse and found he had a positive reading.

Yet another example of criminal government in action.

The ‘teachers’ are in a HUGE BIND. The longer the kids stay out of the schools, the less chance they have to radicalize and sexualize them. But the ‘teachers’ also don’t want to get sick.

Fun to watch!

Wisconsin is doing it too. Masks for all, preschool through the oldest custodian.

Our shrimpish, weenie, commie governor is taking his orders from the DNC, so it isn’t a shock.

He also waited until the day after a new, liberal, state supreme court justice took office to enact a statewide mask mandate. It’s critical for everyone’s health, but it could wait until he got another ally on the court.

This is all real. Don’t rely on your eyes, ears, and lifetime of experience, just believe what Fauci and Company tell us. We’ll be better off in the long run.

I saw a Vietnamese study from 2011 of hundreds of flu patients in several hospitals. The virus spreads just like The Wuhan Red Death.

The study found 97% failure rate with cloth masks and 44% failure with medical masks in a hospital environment.

So we’re expected to blindly and stupidly believe that all the cool fashion masks will be perfectly effective in a completely uncontrolled environment. Asinine.


It will be interesting to see what the impact of masks will be on something like a strep throat outbreak at some schools.

Will more kids get strep, flu, or bronchitis because they are touching their faces more to adjust masks?

My cousin’s wife is a sewing-machine maniac. (Retired teacher, about 73 years old, and has always been a little insane.) She makes all sorts of stuff, from oven-mitts and hot pot holders, wall-hangings, and on and on, and gives all this stuff to the extended family. She has some talent, I sure couldn’t make the things she does, but some of it is pathetic, particularly the wall-hangings.

One of her favorite things to work with is denim from old blue jeans. She’s begun making masks these days, with the inner layer being denim. Talk about being almost impossible to breathe through? These masks fit that description. No covid will ever get through them, it all has to go around the outside edges with the rest of your breath.
