Makes sense school is starting in some places just post summer vacations. I would guess that it's like this for every school year with any virus, its just that COVID is so much more impactful and dangerous to kids than the cold is

It’s really coming back around. The hospital I work at is reconsidering masking.

I switched to peds and they insisted on getting us oriented by the end of August for basically this, although none of the other nurses are wearing masks so I guess you gotta mandate that for some reason

I work in environmental and we are basically doing the same.
