The @VSOrchestra Orpheum was built in 1927, shortly after the last worldwide pandemic ...."One of the most up-to-date ventilating systems on the continent was installed...Air was brought from the outside and blown through a series of water sprays or screens...1/2 #covid19bc
@VSOrchestra ..."heated to any desired degree, then forced through a system of ducts which distributed it to every part of the building hrough hundreds of small pipes which opened beneath the seats...2/n
@VSOrchestra ..."A complete change of air took place every three minutes, and with the aid of these huge air-washers, clean, dust-free air of even temperature was ensured at all times.” 3/n #orpheum #covid19bc
Thread. 1. Cases rising rapidly among school children and their parents who have not been vaccinated or only partially vaccinated. Teenagers with serious health conditions who are mixing with 100s each day and not yet vaccinated.
2. Hundreds of thousands of children in school with chronic illnesses who previously had to shield. Families are worried and fed up. Children told to take masks off. Very little mention of long covid in children, even children without health conditions are suffering terribly.
3. Learning to live with a virus is not acceptable when we are constantly putting children at risk, irrelevant of how many get seriously unwell, nobody knows the long term effects.
What do we mean by #UseAirbornePrecautions? There are clear guidelines in health care settings, but what do we mean by it for the public? A 🧵 of 🧵(met-thread) on this. Strap in, this will be long 1/
2) First, this is not the first #airborne problem we have faced, and it won't be the last. And not all of them are exotic pathogens. Some could be as mundane as dust, smoke, pollens, volatile/semi-volatile organic compounds. They are all around our living space
3) Not all #airborne troubles are created equal. For example, I am a lot more allergic to cigarette smoke than incense. This varies from person to person and trouble to trouble. Some do not have any smell and can still be a "headache".

The numbers of children with #LongCovid are rising with every #COVID19 infection.
⚠️1 in 8 primary age children will get Long Covid
⚠️1 in 7 secondary age children will get Long Covid.
It appears to makes no difference if a child has a pre-existing condition or not.

Tragically children can die.
Thankfully the numbers are low compared with adults.
Every family that has lost a child will be devastated, the fact the numbers are low will have no bearing on their grief.

Sometime early last year, an arbitrary >15 minute limit was placed on classifying close contacts for tracing #Covid_19 transmission.
As @jmcrookston puts it, no one knows for sure why 15 minutes and believe me, if he is not sure, no one is. No one has looked harder. A 🧵 1/7

Gradually over the year though, evidence started emerging that the virus does not wear a watch, i.e., 15 minutes is not a magical barrier.
