This is v disturbing from @halfon4harlowMP
Could it represent a CHILD SAFEGUARDING ISSUE on a NATIONAL SCALE?
It’s clear that the CHAIR of @CommonsEd has absolutely no understanding of the significance of the #COVID19 #DeltaVariant & is a cheer leader of #COVIDIsOver idiocy!

Watch it for yourself….his entire focus is on PRE-PANDEMIC “NORMALITY” for SCHOOLS, pushing back against bubbles, any sort of restrictions & makes no mention at all of how to protect CV/CEV children, families or staff as cases rise.

His views on consent for 12-15yr olds are obvious.
Is it possible he will be able to intervene in @CMO_England’s decision?
Does he have training in advising <16yr olds on such important matters?
Has he even heard of #GillickCompetency?

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?
How?

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.
1/10 So #UsForThem, not satisfied with removing one of the very few protections our children have from #COVID19 , want to rob them of the chance to be vaccinated against it too?
Next they’ll recommend we shouldn’t brush their teeth without consent!

2/ Anyone with any knowledge of a world before routine childhood vaccinations will know that children suffered a great deal from diseases that we luckily rarely seen now.
Acute illness, long term morbidity & death.
Take a look at the UK childhood vaccination programme⬇️.

3/Molly Kingsley’s recent writings seek once again to misinform & confuse, to put a❓ over what is responsible parenting.
She implies that children must be able to give informed consent for #COVIDVaccination for it to have any validity.
Who consents for the IMMs above Molly?

I’ll be honest as an ICU doctor this actually makes me want to cry. A gut punch for NHS staff everywhere tonight. I’m gutted 😔

This is in Hyde Park. The thing that tears me up about this is we have been coming out of lockdown slowly to PREVENT a third wave and further lockdowns. This kind of selfish behaviour risks not only everyone’s safety but further lockdowns.
I can’t...I just can’t.
I can’t...I just can’t.
NHS staff are still living through the trauma of the last year. This is a slap in face for all us and for everyone who has lost friends, colleagues and family members. Why can’t these people just go and have a beer in a nice pub garden?

Nobody likes lockdowns but you can't say they don't work. In Alberta we lived through the proof of it. The failure lies in what sectors we choose to reopen & when & in not adopting a #ZeroCovid strategy like some much smarter places have adopted, saving lives & economies. THREAD
If it feels like our leaders don't know what they're doing it's because they don't but you can't blame that on lockdowns. There's no avoiding lockdowns when our hospitalization numbers rapidly approach a rate our hospitals can't manage. Other jurisdictions aren't failing. /2
I tried to share this article with a "Conservative" friend who assured me we had to do things the way we did or our economy would fail. When I told him that just wasn't factually accurate he refused to read it & the chat ended in acrimony. Okay then. /3 thetyee.ca/News/2021/04/0…
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) I read w/ interest the 24/3 @hartgroup_org #Covid19 bulletin.
”..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?

2)”...face coverings are fuelling widespread, irrational fear when the current viral threat is very low & the vulnerable have been vaccinated.”
The ⬇️in cases has completely flattened & the majority of vulnerable ppl have had 1 vaccine dose.
Fear of an #airborne 🦠IS RATIONAL.

3) “Hart believes the Government should now lift the *mask* mandate & allow ppl to decide for themselves whether to wear one.”
A group of scientists, healthcare professionals & psychologists etc believe THIS is the right moment to ditch the wearing of 😷s?
Staggering!

I’m sorry @halfon4harlowMP, but this is outdated & untrue!
Dr Harries: “It is very much a closed community.”
You’re expecting us to believe that #schools are CLOSED COMMUNITIES?!
YEAR BUBBLES + staff & families
To describe them as CLOSED COMMUNITIES is complete fantasy! 1/ 7

I don’t know what the reasons are for REFUSING to accept that educational/ early years staff aren’t at INCREASED RISK, but this is also NOT TRUE! As a healthcare professional I find it deeply disturbing that #DfE aren’t prepared to make simple changes to protect so many lives.2/
#COVID19 is a serious multi-system disease.
Even those with mild symptoms can develop #LongCovid & a significant number of those discharged from hospital die in the next few months. Young, fit ppl are suffering & dying.
And #KidsGetLongCovid too! 3/

Here’s few reasons @krishgm
1) Govt want parents to work. They need to maintain the illusion that “Schools are safe”. If parents are in doubt they may not send their kids & will be unable to work.
2)They’ve failed SPECTACULARLY to provide enough #laptops & #Wifi for kids without

After 9 months they’ve supplied “world beatingly” low numbers meaning teachers can’t easily move to #blendedlearning .
So classes are fuller with many children who’ve no access to a laptop or WiFi, or a space to learn, compounding the issue of transmission again.

3)If Govt admit schools are places with high transmission of #coronavirus they will be forced to mandate #MasksInClassrooms. This will be very unpopular within many freedom loving @Conservatives MPs & the RW media who are chomping at the bit to “unlock”!
Really quite predictable. Modi ji announces #LockdownWithoutPlan, migrant workers inevitably start toiling home, all media is aggressively deployed to #ArrestKejriwal. The CM who's actually working to feed everybody. Classic incompetence + aggression.
Yes, three days notice to people plus three days of planning and ramping up capacity would have saved a lot of pain and made the lockdown work better. That Modi ji is missing again tells us how bad it is. #LockdownWithoutPlan
If anything, this is an #AntiLockdown. Now if only they had balconies. Or plates. #LockdownWithoutPlan
