@JuliaHB1 I know you ignore science, in order to drive your libertarian ideology, but this one chart really should show why caution for children is required, not a free for all for a level 3 biohazard! normal brain is on the left... scans of 7 kids brains >4 weeks after infection

in the largest study to date, repeat infections were shown to be cumulative

OK then Vinay - will you take responsibility for the dangers of even *asymptomatic" infections upon children's brains?
just because you can't yet "see" the harm, doesn't mean it isn't there...

🧵1) FFS, people responding on my last thread about norovirus and how we don't need a law to tell us to keep kids home cos we didn't pre covid.
The difference is I GET NOTIFIED IF THERE'S A CASE OF NOROVIRUS in my child's school and I am told to keep the child off if ill.

2)Surprise to some of you but NO shockingly not all parents do have common sense and don't keep their kids off with bugs. FACT.
Difference is we don't get notified about COVID and are expected to send our children in with it, fine because they're not ill I hear you say? ...

3)Fine because if they were ill we'd keep them home? No it doesn't work that way with this I'm afraid.
Kids asymptomatic and spreading COVID is not OK.
No one is downplaying norovirus here but it didn't kill 150000 people, it hasn't disabled or left 117000 kids suffering long

🧵In 2020 I started cancelling events and limiting social contact BEFORE the Gov told us to.
I started MASKING in the March, months BEFORE the gov told us to.
I pulled my kids out of school BEFORE they closed them in March.
I knew in the Dec things were going to get really bad

& took the kids out again BEFORE GOV told us to,I got grief off school but told them what was going to happen and sure enough when everyone sent their kids back in January & I didn't, schools closed a day later.
We upgraded our masks in 2021 (FFP2) & the kids wore them to school. When daughter started wearing it to school she was 8 (9 now) but prior to this was 7 wearing one in shops from the beginning. She's capable! So is my son now 11. A mask didn't stop them learning or having fun.
Government have now responded to the school ventilation petition, but seem to fundamentally misunderstand what is being requested.
Are they really that stupid?

They seem to be trying to argue that because air filtration units don't reduce CO2, they are not as good as opening the windows.
But that's a misunderstand of the use of CO2 as a proxy measure.

🧵@thismorning you might want to check out some facts before your presenters spout nonsense about kids in masks. They're not wearing them to protect us they're wearing them to protect themselves. Now adults are all vaxed we've thrown them under a bus.
2)These are not my stats these are ONS data the same place you get the stats for everything else take a look! Don't take my word!
117000 kids now have long covid
14000 for over a year or more
120 children DEAD- THIS ISN'T A LOW NUMBER children aren't meant to die! To put into

120 children DEAD- THIS ISN'T A LOW NUMBER children aren't meant to die! To put into
3)Perspective it is now in the top 5 causes of death amongst children to measure it only against elderly people dying is wrong. No medical expert has ever treated a child for wearing a mask they have however treated children for the effects of COVID (below stats on LC higher now)
uk.news.yahoo.com/covid-record-n… record number of CHILDREN admitted to hospital in a single day with COVID....but sure try to force me to send my kids unvaccinated with 100s other unmasked kids & reject HEPA filters then get the attendance officer on me When I say NO. Try it. Let's go.
Any reason why you've mentioned the increase in older people being hospitalised but missed out the children? @SkyNews ??
@BBCNews you too? 117,000 CHILDREN suffering with long covid now and climbing it's getting worse check out ONS it's where you got your other statistics! Whilst you're there check out the biggest rise in children's admissions with COVID... see above!! No one else reporting. why?
🧵1/6 IF THE SCHOOLS CLOSE it's also on the parents & teachers that didn't SPEAK UP!! Those that left it to us FEW to ask for REAL mitigations. Those that didn't stand up for their vulnerable colleagues & show support-that couldn't be arsed wearing a mask to help them or the kids
2)those that didn't even master keeping windows open, those that pushed for concerts/singing & shows or didn't use their voices to challenge it & turned a blind eye when we told you this would happen
MITIGATIONS would've prevented RESTRICTIONS & CLOSURES
So if it does ITS ON YOU

3)For those that DID (parents & staff) have the courage to speak to Headteachers, (or indeed if you were one who spoke out) who raised concerns to DfE, SLT & MPs who emailed, tweeted & challenged thankyou! Those who tried hard in their schools to go beyond guidance & invested in
Angry northern woman here!!! #JohnsonOut you lying cheating snivelling bag of blubber !!!! RESIGN NOW and take your minions with you!!! Your a disgrace people died while your people partied #downingstreetparty Kids went hungry till a footballer stepped in. You
Wanted to pump shite into our rivers #TorySewageParty the people in Afghanistan died while your people where on holiday #Afghanistan your people amended the #nhsbill making the poorest suffer. Kids have been thrown into schools without thought for their safety #SafeEdForAll …
The list goes on the #excluded !!! the corruption in your party on your watch. You are the head, yeah I know knob head but the buck stops with you 🤬🤬🤬😢
🧵69000 children But you're too busy enjoying afternoon tea to care Until it affects YOUR CHILD. Why are you OK letting them sing in class with no ventilation, no mitigations? You talk of mental health & what these kids have missed? Ha ALLOW ME to inform you what they've missed
Just UK nos: 69000 have long covid (ask them about their mental health)
112 are dead (you can't ask them)
12000 kids have been orphaned or lost a caregiver, thousands more are now acting as carers as their parents struggle with the disease. But you want to talk mental health? ...

Show me 1 kid who's been damaged as a result of swapping singing in a non ventilated room for something equally as exciting in a lesson plan. Do Percussion? Rhythm & clapping? How about use SIGN LANGUAGE to a song? You know that inclusivity you bang on about PUT IT INTO ACTION!
Message from2019:Imagine a new deadly airborne virus swept across the world that without simple protection, would result in death & long term disability for millions. Imagine if powerful rich companies didn’t care, especially as
Affording the temporary protection meant disruption to cash flow. Would you believe it if I told you that the elite decide to dupe the population into thinking it was all a hoax, a bit like a cold, and normalised the idea that the most vulnerable weren’t worth saving,
That preventable death & disease wasn’t a thing? And that great chunks of society fell for it? That despite over 5 million deaths globally, mounting evidence of harm, vaccines, still the elite got their way? 2021 update: it happened
Slept badly woke early spooked with the “only 6” headline. I don’t meditate but like to start each day in my garden with a cuppa & birdwatching. Mum loved birdwatching too & we shared little anecdotes & updates. Little reminders like this, that your loved one is gone…
is sad but still comforting. My youngest is whipping up cookies for my brothers birthday lunch tomorrow I’m browsing mums recipes for inspiration I’m the cook. Another sad/happy as mums birthday is a couple of days later & we usually got together for a posh meal out.
Not sure why I’m posting this really, just reflecting on grief and how as a nation we seem to have become numb to the daily figures, cruel & thoughtless for those who covid DOES pose a life/death threat. Just reaching out to anyone mourning, or whose life is forever changed
🧵1/5 #UKchildren 💔I’ve lost track the number of times this kind of “but…”argument is used where (all ages) covid death figures are concerned- but they were old, but they had serious health problems, but they were obese… it feeds down the flow chart of u can ignore covid b’cos
..2/ at the results end of the flow chart we have personal choice trumps severe health risks, eugenics, getting told to f-off on SM when raising issues for CEV community, valid concerns dismissed as hysteria or anxiety, stay indoors & keep the hazmat suit on etc etc….
3/ the longer covid drags on thanks to these ignorant, hurtful,discriminatory takes, the gloomier the outlook gets, yet doom & gloom is what those wanting to suppress covid were accused of. Having #asthma, #chemotherapy #transplant pt, etc your risks are waaayyy higher
Solidarity with the second #SchoolStrike2021 #October15th! The Tories do nothing but wilful harm and cannot be appealed to. Meanwhile, Labour “leader” Keri Starmer keeps his party on a leash and lets the Tories off the hook. 1/

Then the “traditional” organisations defending workers, the trade unions are also very muted in their response, when they should be at the forefront of defending their members interests- their lives in fact! 2/

No sign of teachers unions supporting this independent strike action. No sound of genuine protestations to make schools and workplaces safe. #SafeEdForAll and other grass root orgs show the way. Build rank & file safety committees and this strike action internationally.
Angry and tearful this morning- need to say my bit.. had to split this video in two as too long. Could’ve probably gone on for longer! #EnoughIsEnough 1/2…
2/3 (had to split into 3)..
A little tale for @nadhimzahawi from a parent supporter of #SafeEdForAll
“A child my son shares a couple of classes with (secondary school, yr 8) had finished his 10 day isolation after testing positive and was back in school on Monday…1
“A child my son shares a couple of classes with (secondary school, yr 8) had finished his 10 day isolation after testing positive and was back in school on Monday…1
My son is the only child wearing a mask in lessons. The teacher was speaking to the child and it came out that although it's 10 days since infection, he is still testing positive but he has been told as he has finished his isolation period he now needs to return to school…2
My son said almost immediately pretty much the whole class ducked under their desks and re-emerged with their masks on.
The teacher sent the child to the office to double check whether he should be in school…3

1/11This is the bizarre thing @joanna_brady ….
@UsforThemUK are repeatedly heard saying “NO” to ANY form of protection from #COVID19, a virus that we know can cause significant morbidity & mortality in both adults & children.
But they NEVER offer any practical solutions.

2/ Obvs it’s good news that serious illness/death in children from #COVID19 is rare, but there’s no good way to predict which 1 in roughly 10 children’ll be left w/ long term debilitating symptoms, so letting them be so CRUELLY EXPOSED every day they’re @ school is NEGLIGENT!
3/ Negligent, cruel, unnecessary, unconscionable, wicked, brutal, reckless, unforgivable…..
1/10 How fortunate to have both @lensiseethrough & @JuliaHB1 in one place together!
Molly, Julia & @UsforThemUK - Let’s put the physical risks of #COVID19 & #LongCovid to individual children & adolescents to one side for a moment.

2/ And let’s also ignore the devastating effect on any child, of a close family member having serious #COVID19, #LongCovid or dying from #COVID.
3/ And for completeness let’s just forget that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US wants to “get back to normal” & for the final restrictions to be safely eased…..
LET’S FOCUS SOLELY ON EDUCATION!

1/9 Dear @adilray, you & @susannareid100 are 2 of few presenters prepared fo challenge government rhetoric.
Can you ask @MattHancock why, in the face of ⬆️cases & hospitalisations of the #DeltaVariant, schools have virtually no mitigations to ⬇️transmission of an #airborne🦠?

2/ Children account for a significant proportion of ⬆️cases (10,000+ today) & can transmit #COVID19 to their families.
A worrying number of children have got #LongCovid (maybe 10%) & campaigners are trying to prevent them being vaccinated.
CV/CEV kids are a particular concern.

1/11 Just for 1 minute, put acute #COVID & #LongCovid to one side.
How exactly do those in the #DfE, #UsForThem, #CRG & the #HartGroup intend to protect children from more educational disruption w/ a highly contagious virus whirling its way through schools across the UK?

2/The ongoing educational damage done by CHOOSING NOT to adequately & effectively mitigate for an #airborne virus w/in UK schools (English esp) was completely avoidable.
IT WAS (& CONTINUES TO BE) A CHOICE, sanctioned by Gvmt AND a mostly complicit media.

3/ Our political leaders chose to follow a THEORETICAL #HerdImmunity “strategy” with a novel virus which RELIED ON unmitigated spread within young, fit parts of society & FACTORED IN that sadly some of those would also become seriously ill or die.
1) Morning @GavinWilliamson, just reading the update from @PHE_uk @GOVUK below ⬇️.

2) Wondering how this particular bit of advice ⬇️ will play out in schools & early years settings after #Easter?
Crowded poorly ventilated classrooms w/ up to 30 kids from different households are the very essence of HIGH RISK spaces. Dining rooms/PE halls could even be worse!

3) If I’ve understood it correctly anywhere in the RED AREAS needs extra attention?
INDOORS ✅
HIGH OCCUPANCY ✅
SILENT, SPEAKING, SHOUTING, SINGING, PHYSICAL EXERTION ✅
POORLY VENTILATED ✅
& NO FACE COVERINGS ⬆️ THE RISK

1) Y’day I saw a patient who wanted this story told.
The 40+ yr old X was diagnosed w/ #Covid19 on 24th Dec.
X’s teenage daughter was sent home from school to isolate during the last week of term after a friend developed #Covid.
X was previously fit & well, on no medication.

X was previously fit & well, on no medication.
2) X spent 2 weeks in January in hospital, followed by a month in bed at home.
By March X started to improve a bit but due to overwhelming symptoms of breathlessness on exertion, fatigue & “brain fog” was able to do very little.

Over recent days X became more breathless & incapacitated which eventually resulted in hospital admission.

”..there is no evidence that masks significantly ⬇️ transmission when worn routinely in REAL-WORLD SETTINGS.”
A RCT of 😷wearing during a pandemic of an #airborne 🦠would surely be completely unethical?

A group of scientists, healthcare professionals & psychologists etc believe THIS is the right moment to ditch the wearing of 😷s?
