Our elementary school in Oregon has required masks. And I can't think of a kid who hasn't got it, including our own. It's run rampant through Oregon schools. By my assessment, masks do very, very little to stop the spread.

That's interesting. I'm in California, and I know a lot of kids that have caught it, but only 2 that can trace it back to the classroom.

We have caught about 3 things over the past ~year, but none of it covid (as far as tests showed) and all of them had obvious non-classroom links.

Two of them were sick friends. And the third was probably when our 3 year old licked a trashcan at the zoo.
