I agree. Masks work when you are in situations where you briefly cannot maintain distancing, say, 30 minutes a at a grocery store. The science known about transmission is that the particles linger in the air for up to two hours in indoor spaces. So one kid may not have his mask on right, sneeze, and those particles are floating around in the air in environments without good air filtration.

The masks limit the spread and should be mandatory for sure, but sitting in a room with 20-30 kids for hours during the day would probably stretch the envelope on the prevention masks provide.
