       @azonenberg I've been really surprised how effective wearing a N95 (that passes a fit test) is - I've only had 2 colds since 2019 and last time I checked, still negative for antibodies to covid nucleocapsid. It is hard to avoid if you have a family though. If you can get the school to improve ventilation that helps a lot. If the kid is up for it, Trident P2 XS respirators fit many young kids. Great info here: https://www.covidsafetyforschools.org/

       @azonenberg Glad you already know - I wasn't sure as the public health messaging has been very poor. Yes it is extremely hard for kids and their families. I hope you feel well soon and that she manages to avoid the bugs somehow.

       @azonenberg Wow, you had it figured out early. I was lucky, here in Australia we managed to eliminate it (several times, the politicians kept letting it back in) and we were pretty safe until I learned from Twitter that respirators do work, so I was mostly ready when they reopened the borders. Kept kid home until we had found a decent KF94 for them, though that didn't quite pass testing with 3M FT-32 and nebuliser. Trident P2 XS does pass testing, but it is hard being the only kid wearing one
