My son is having difficulty wearing mask. Do you use any other optios on this? And How to true from one what I have read in the web that People with ADHD more likely to recover from COVID?

Part of my job is writing policies based on the latest COVID-19 information, and I haven’t heard anything about ADHD vs. COVID-19 mortality. There’s no physiological reason for there to be a connection. The most significant factor is age.

My best advice for your son is to try different types of masks. But remember, the best preventive measure is to limit contact with other people. Keep up all of the various precautions; they work together, not separately.

My son prefers a neck gaiter. It’s not as good a barrier as a fitted mask with a filter, but it is certainly better than no mask, by a LOT.

Nice to hear that, thank you for keeping us informed! yes that is what I thought as well that age is really a factpor, and if you just simply folow teh standard protocol nothing bad happens to you. After all sanitation is the best!

At our school, kids that don’t tolerate masks are doing better with the face shields.

Adults have to wear both on campus, so we have them in stock.

He still needs to kept away from crowded places and have him wear a mask when necessary.
