Why do healthy children need any masks? Why does any healthy person need a mask? If a child is among a vulnerable population and therefore at higher risk, that is a different issue, to be dealt with on a case by case issue. But if you have ever worn an N95 mask (hint, these never come with ear loops) you will note that they would be literally impossible for a child to use. Yes, there are "N95s available at Home Depot and Amazon etc," and they are largely, if not entirely, bogus.
As for the so-called "surgical masks," which I can see preventing droplet spread from coughing or sneezing, but these too are ineffective against airborne microparticles. I've used several and all have varying sizes of gaps on the sides, which small chipmunks could get through.
We are caught in a powerful contagion of fear right now. Let us fight the urge to be caught up this pandemic theatre. Look at these crazy policies our CDC/administration/FDA are imposing on us. Where is our proud tradition of civil disobedience?
