This is the **** that Tiblio, Floggy, Liberals call science. They will look you square in the face and tell you it's proven. Then, when like this policy and the woman backing it are busted....they will call you a denier, despite the fact they refer to science that doesn't...even...exist.
Tacoma's Geiger School demands students chew and swallow their lunch with their mask on. The district backed the policy on guidance that doesn't exist.

Principal Neil O’Brien emailed parents four days after the first day of school with an update on COVID policies at Geiger.
He said students must wear their masks during lunch in the cafeteria and, despite social distancing and outstanding ventilation, they must put the mask back up to chew and swallow their food.
Yes. Children should wear masks during lunch. They can lower it to take a bite or a drink, and raise it to chew, swallow, or talk. Our cafeteria has a fantastic airflow system and children are spaced apart AND when over a hundred of them are in one large room (the cafeteria and gym combined) we need to treat lunchtime as a dangerous time for all. Children need to continue to wear their masks during lunch.
Michael tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH that he reached out to the principal with his concerns. He never heard back. He did, however, hear from
Shallae Hobbs, Tacoma Public Schools’ administrator of health services.
Using local and national guidelines,
Hobbs explained that the policy is based on sound science. In an email to Michael,
she links to several documents to back up the chewing and swallowing mask policy.
But none of the advice appears anywhere in the resources she provided.
Hobbs claims “children are encouraged to put there [sic] mask back on when not eating or drinking as outlined in the CDC resource document outline in the K-12 Schools guidance.”
She even cites page 6 as the source.
But neither page 6 nor any page in the document addresses masks while chewing and swallowing. That page only suggests you provide social distancing “for all students when masks cannot be worn, such as when eating lunch.”
In other words, the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the exact opposite of what she claims.
Hobbs also cites the “food service and school meals section” in guidance from the CDC. Again, there’s not even a mention of eating lunch. The focus is on social distancing during lunch.
She also cites local guidance from the state Department of Health.
None of the
documents reference masking when chewing. It includes the same guidance from the CDC, indicating it’s not feasible to wear a mask while eating lunch.
Hobbs inexplicably cites the exemptions section from a Secretary of Health
order. She must not have read it. It explicitly says you do not have to wear a mask “while engaged in the act of eating or drinking.”
Despite citing guidance that doesn’t exist — indeed, it says the opposite of what she claims — Hobbs concludes that “eating can be a high risk activity as masks are removed and in some instances students are within 6 feet, re-masking when not actively engaged in eating or drinking can help add another layer of protection.”

People, like this moron, get into positions of power. Then, like Floggy, they say things and call them "facts" when in fact they aren't facts, they are anything but facts and in this case, fully and totally unsubstantiated.
But thousands in Tacoma believe her...because of her title.
Question everything.
