Our kids are going back to school this week. Our school is a small private one and we are doing classroom pods, all kinds of disinfectant cleaning, and mandatory masks.
However, I learned that for indoor PE masks will not be mandatory.
“Students do not wear masks when involved in strenuous exercise because a mask during strenuous exercise seriously reduces oxygen to the brain.”
I’ve messaged our primary care doctor for advice, but I feel like the risk of exposure to Covid is greater than the risk to overall health if we just did something else in PE for the time being.
Thoughts? Links to peer reviewed or scientific papers on the topic? I didn’t want them to go back anyway as we have an interactive remote option, but the mask mandate made me feel better about them going.

Turn it into a science experiment with the kids. Measure heart rates, blood oxygen levels, temperatures, etc

Brain is bullshit. If that were the case, my kids would have a note to be excused from PE until the rule is otherwise changed

Complete bullshit ,it’s certainly uncomfortable but no healthy person should have any issue breathing with a cloth mask on

An n95 maybe a bit but even then I have used them while doing physical activity and am fine.

Isolated and therefore protected for the most part. Get ready for another explosion of cases if we open. It’s like everyone forgot what it’s

Like to sneeze on a tv. Or blow up a balloon and hours later have the air come out soggy. Gross. Humans are gross; there’s no good to come.
