As an older adult with my school years way behind me, I have to say that I have learned so much during COVID regarding how to read and interpret and evaluate studies. This is such useful information. I surely hope these skills are being taught to today's students. /s

I wish this had also included the effects of adult mask mandates on children (not just child mask mandates). During the worst of it, when I was surrounded by a sea of masks and curiously found that I was disturbed that I could not interpret people's expressions at all, I turned in desperation to watching videos of people behaving normally -- to save my sanity and psychological wellbeing.

Our local hospital has returned to mandated masking of all visitors, patients and staff. What is wrong with these medical experts, that they still believe in masking? This system has got to go, but if you need hospital care, it is very challenging to "not comply."
