I get that people get off-topic here, but the topic was pretty specific: what can be done in circumstances like primary schools where children may have difficulty wearing a mask. Are loose-fitting masks OK? Are face shields adequate? How effective are the alternatives? What do people think of opening classrooms where students are only encouraged to wear masks? What should be done?

Thank you to MT and fullmetal for their responses.

It was a pretty specific topic, it's a non-partisan one, and is has large implications for the US as a whole as it attempts to re-open schools in just a month. And it's frustrating to see it so quickly become a debate about Nancy Pelosi, how completely she wears masks on particular occasions, and her sartorial choices.

Sorry. My bad.  I forgot that taking a shot at Trump is, by definition, never off-topic, but mentioning anyone else is always grounds for a quick slap-down [if not invocation of the Terry Rule].

Won't happen again.
