Dear readers: There are three reasons why children should wear masks until all danger from this virus is over:
1. If any of the children is or becomes a carrier, the mask will lower the chances of that child infecting others... whether other children or family
2. Wearing a mask discourages touching the face, thus providing some protection against infection
3. Everyone should be wearing masks when with other than family members. Making exceptions undermines this habit...just as when the President Of The United States leaves off his mask!
