Why do we need masks, if the whole school is still experiencing Covid cases? We definitely don't need to freak out about it if Covid-19 has a 97-99.5% survival rate and in North Carolina, there is a 13.6% chance of even contracting Covid-19. In North Carolina, the death rate is 0.16%, that's not even half a percent. So why do we need to 'Mask up' if you have such a low chance of even getting covid, and an extremely low chance of dying from it? I say that masks should be optional, and only children who think they are protecting themselves should wear a mask by their own choice.
