and this is one of the best covers ever done in my book ...

For the last month I'd seen very few but went into Walgreens today and literally everyone was wearing one. That was only like 5 other customers I saw (which is why I go to this store, it's very rarely crowded), but all in masks. And employees are all back in them for the past 2 weeks or so.

Been curious about this and not seen it addressed in any articles about it.

Edit:
Assuming the answer is no it doesn't apply to them, as stated downthread, then as a parent, if you're concerned about 'no-mask' rules in public schools, you have the additional options of:
1) Homeschooling, or
2) Finding a private or charter school that's allowed to give a shit about protecting your child's health by requiring masks and/or vaccines for eligible kids.

That seems convenient, if your goal as a Repuke government is undermining public education, doesn't it?

Another question I have is ... the order said it's 'up to the parents' ... does that mean that the parents can inform the school/teachers that their child IS to wear a mask, and the school is obliged (or even allowed) to 'police' that situation for such children? Because how many parents actually think their kid is going to wear the mask at school just because mom and dad said they need to?

Not many are that naive, I'd wager.
