The goal is don't overwhelm hospitals, low deaths. We are there by every standard.
Thankfully no one is suggesting that they are dying from COVID in large numbers, so great straw man you defeated with your links there. What they are getting is infected and sick, and a not insignificant (and definitely not "virtually zero") portion of them are dealing with symptoms long after the initial infection. Masking is a simple, low-level intervention that limits spread and keeps kids safer. That's all the argument is here.
