Sen. Johnson questions effectiveness of masks in schools, cast doubts kids can get severe COVID-19 symptoms
MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) As some school districts are temporarily shifting to virtual learning due to positive COVID-19 cases, U.S Senator Ron Johnson is doubting mask mandates in school are effective, saying kids can’t get severe symptoms once infected.
