So- some people can drive 50 mph on a certain road- but others can go 70?
To any given individual- a mask mandate IS an all or nothing thing. If you have to- you have to.
if you agree with that, I get it. For schools- I don’t. But it’s not something I would die on a hill for.
Well, we already have that regarding speed limits. On most highways, the speed limit for cars is different than the speed limit for trucks with trailers. We discriminate.
However my point was more that regarding an "all or nothing" thing, a 25 mph speed limit in a residential area doesn't mean that you have to have a 25 mph speed limit on a highway.
In California, certain indoor activities--such as health care--require masks. That doesn't mean masks are required at the supermarket. It doesn't mean masks are required outdoors. Hence, not "all or nothing".
A vaccinated 15 year old doesn't have to wear a mask at the supermarket. They have to wear a mask at school or at their doctor.
What I'm saying is that policy can be tailored to the situation. I may not think a mask mandate in schools is necessary, but given a pandemic, I don't think it's an abrogation of individual rights.
