Masks in school may not be fun for kids, but help keep people alive

We are battling for the soul of the future public health of our communities.  At times like this, we need to applaud leaders like Mayor Zwahlen and ask ourselves whether the other elected officials afraid to help protect our children when the CDC has said this Delta variant is as contagious as the chickenpox?  We cannot fail to prepare for when our children return to school in a few weeks – in some cases, just a few days. We need to take proactive measures and make sure that all those who are eligible get vaccinated. And when in public spaces indoors, the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike should wear masks.
