"I tell you, I have a 3-year-old who goes to school, sits outside eating snacks and lunch, and wears a mask indoors, which is no big deal for him." "I'm not saying that everyone is like this, but these are the measures that schools are taking to keep their children safe," she said. I think the vast majority of parents will understand this. ”
