Got a response back from my email to the superintendent of my kids school district:

quote:

Good Afternoon, HiHo ChiRho.

Thank you for reaching out to me. I understand your concern and please know that we will do all that we can to use the mitigation strategies we have to keep children safe. To that end, each school will be responsible for ensuring that masks are worn like those mentioned in Addendum 11 from the State Department of Education (link was embedded in my communication to parents). The administration will be working with students to provide them with a mask if their mask does not meet the criteria in the addendum. We are following the most updated CDC guidance as well.

Sincerely,

Supernintendo Chalmers

Here's Addendum 11 for CT DOE, for reference:

CT Department of Education posted:

Tight-fitting filtering facepieces, like N95 respirators are designed to filter all air coming into the breathing zone of the wearer and to capture 95% of the extremely small particles present in things like respiratory aerosols. These masks are critical for use by healthcare workers treating COVID-19 infected
patients and are not recommended for use in schools, other than for healthcare staff who are active-ly engaged in aerosolizing procedures with students (e.g., nebulizer treatments). Not only are N95 respirators in short supply for the healthcare workers who need them most, they can be very difficult to wear or work in for long periods of time as they do offer some resistance during inhalation which increases the work of breathing.

Individuals who plan to wear an N95 respirators for their work need to be medically cleared to do so, need to have the individual model and style they will use professionally fit-tested, and need to be included in the organizations written respiratory protection program. Employers who provide N95 respirators for use by their employees are bound by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR § 1910.134).

Not seeing PAPRs specifically banned. Still time to buy/steal/build one before schools open here, assuming our "constantly call in sick until vaccines are ready" plan meets resistance.

KId who came to my sons birthday party has a loving fever (The party i did not want to have but was overrulled)

My grandma is nuts about birthday parties. I put mine off last year because covid was running full rip by late October and it ended up having the side effect of also cancelling everybody else's birthday until I decided I'd let her do mine because nobody is allowed to simply not have a birthday party

Anyway I'm probably going to have to pull that trick again this year

Yeah there are stringent requirements for using n95s (annual fit testing and medical clearance) all mandated by OSHA regulation. Frankly I'm not sure how they could deny someone using it in an work activity that doesn't require it and thus not subject to OSHA regs. It's not like meeting the requirements would be difficult, it's just that they most certainly don't have any experience in doing it and the paradoxical liability of trying to figure it out and failing at it instead of just giving you no protection and letting you die to roni.

It's why there was such a stupid crisis early on where hospitals were refusing to allow staff to use their own masks or respirators. The letter of the law with OSHA is that it has to be supplied by the employer so they'd rather risk you getting covid from lack of ppe on their part than risk running afoul of OSHA by letting you use your own.

they are reporting when people died, not when they received the death certificate

that will, by design, always show deaths declining in the last 3 to 4 weeks

Didn't Florida recently change its reporting process to report deaths on the day they occurred, rather than the day the deaths were reported, making it so that the stats always show a dip in the last few days, because death reporting isn't instantaneous but rather takes a few days?

Yeah, the thing is, I was diagnosed with heart failure a few weeks before I turned 32. So, my medical bills have been pretty big (last I checked, my insurance company had paid out around $300k, under great protest), and my insurance company has been fighting me every step of the way, even when it costs them more in the end because I refused to give up fighting them on poo poo.

Anyway, there's a chance I could need a transplant at some point. If my insurance company thought there was even a chance that I'm immunocompromised, I have no doubt that they'd be doing their best to get me kicked off the transplant list.
