Seatbslts are mandated by law for personal safety. In this time of COVID 19, masks are for public safety. We wear them for the safety of others, which in turn is for each individual as well. Please follow the best information science has to offer. I wouldn't want a political pundit as my child's surgeon; and I want my children's schools following CDC guidlines too. It's going to be tough enough for youth with asthma and diabetes to feel safe in groups with masks. Without masks, they will be shut out. We 're all in this together & systems should work for the greater good for the inclusion of the most.
