masks

The governor is dropping the state's mask mandates in schools, but that doesn't mean every school district will follow. So who is making the final call?

Let's hope all New Bedford School Committee members keep an open mind and include the views of concerned parents in their decision-making process about masks.

School Committeeman Chris Cotter says he wants to hear the views of parents and others on masks rather than just adopt an administrative policy recommendation.

Masks will still be required for now in all indoor public places and in other situations in Massachusetts, despite new guidance from the CDC on Thursday.

People have had it with politicians who demand one thing of them and do just the opposite themselves.

I admire the intent of the free-spirited maskless folks who burst into Target this week, but I believe their actions may have put others at risk.

While there is no solid evidence that discarded masks pose a health threat, they do threaten the environment.

We may never have a 'cure' or a vaccine for COVID-19, so we'd better learn to adapt, as we have with influenza.

Imagine, an event that kids can enjoy that celebrates the wearing of masks. It's perfect!

2020 has been quite a year so far.
