Who’s more anti-science?

• The Texans who refuse vaccination and won’t wear masks indoors
• Or Washingtonians who, fully vaccinated, wear masks outdoors while alone and require 50-60 students to quarantine from school for 14 days when a single student tests positive

It’s hard to say which is worse.  The CDC says if students are masked, no quarantine is required when a student tests positive except for the student.  Close contacts do not need to quarantine, vaccinated or not.  However, I just read today that 30 to 60 students are being required to quarantine for 14 days every time a single students tests positive in Puget Sound schools.  It is INSANE.  I posted before that I would guess students in Texas – mask free and engaging in who knows what other risky behavior – will miss far less school than kids in Seattle.

For example: “The Lake Washington School District had to quarantine 53 people after one case was reported at Kamiakin Middle School, spokesperson Shannon Parthemer said.”

I also am tired of feeling like a leper when I go outside without a mask.  I’m not talking about concerts or fairs here – watching a (not crowded) soccer game or a walk through the park.
