       One of the reasons flu season was so mild last year was that so
       many people were wearing masks. I imagine the severity of the
       flu this year will track pretty closely to mask usage again.

       Our pediatrician disagrees with you! I guess we'll see.

       That the flu virus has been lying in wait a year and because we
       are no longer isolating as much as we were it will get passed
       around and will be a strong mutation that we haven't built
       resistance to for the past year.
       This is already happening with RSV and other respiratory
       infections. Masks sure aren't helping with that.
       Here are some articles that explain it better than I can -

       Masked, yes. It's part of our dress code and student code of
       conduct. But, well, teenagers are still teenagers, and it's hard
       to get them to wear the mask properly all day long. Heck, it's
       hard to get all the adults on campus to wear their masks
       properly.
