Dear @annelongfield,
I read this document with trepidation.
However I am hugely relieved that finally there is acknowledgment that “there is a problem”.
Thank you!
The most important step that can be taken now from a HEALTH PERSPECTIVE is accepting that #COVIDisAirborne. 1/4
Children (& staff) could wash their hands 100x a day & sit in lines facing forwards thinking this will PREVENT #Coronavirus transmission. It won’t.
It will REDUCE transmission but the virus is in the air so ALL @educationgovuk safety measures need to updated accordingly. 2/4
If you could urgently press upon those able to effect change, the HUGE significance of this simple fact, we would actually be able to start to #MakeSchoolSafe. #EarlyYears settings & staff must NOT be excluded. 3/4

Ditto, ditto ditto.... 👏👏👏@mrjamesob

“What we don’t need now is MORE PEOPLE MIXING!”

“When will the lying stop?” 1/8

@LBC @GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson @educationgovuk
This debate has NOTHING TO DO W/ CHILD WELFARE!
It’s NOT about ⬇️ the social divide caused by deprivation.
It’s NOT because #Tory MPs & high profile journalists CARE about vulnerable children & it is CERTAINLY NOT because they care about the #mentalhealth of our youngsters. 2/
THEY DON’T!
Through 10yrs of #austerity they didn’t care!
Through the school holidays of a pandemic they still don’t care! This is about keeping parents @ work,⬇️ the stress of #HomeSchooling & giving #Tory voters free time to do as they wish. 3/

Morning @susannareid100 & @piersmorgan, just catching up on your discussion w/ experts on #schools.
STUNNING that not one of them mention SIMPLE, BASIC PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES like #MasksInClassrooms & improved #Ventilation to #MakeSchoolsSafer.
It’s truly not rocket science!
Please could you ask every Minister who comes on the program why British children can’t #WearAMask IN CLASSROOMS?
Why can’t #Ventilation be improved & CO2 monitors be installed?
Why can’t uniform be abandoned for this term & all kids be advised to wear warm clothes? 2/4
How long will it take to get the desperately needed laptops to those kids without them & sort out WiFi issues?
Why the physical & #mentalhealth of staff & parents is dismissed so easily in every single discussion?
Parents & grandparents have died. Teachers have died! 3/4

NHS staff are risking their lives every day to save ours. We are overwhelmed that so many people are asking how they can give back. Here is a thread of 10 ways you can show your support, with some of the most wonderful initiatives you can donate to or fundraise for. Please RT 🙏🏻
1) Support a local hospital charity 🏥

Recently @charity_shc gave its 12000 staff an extra paid day of annual leave as well as a free coffee and lunch. Similar initiatives are going on at trusts across the country.

Here’s the @UHSFT NHS heroes appeal: southamptonhospitalscharity.org/current-appeal…
2) Support those delivering hot food to the frontline or donate some coffee pods ☕️

Believe it or not most NHS staff do not have access to hot food overnight. @HumdingersFood have been delivering food to staff and @nhscoffeeappeal helps you to donate coffee pods.

NHS speaking up feel a great duty to ensure the public are aware of what is happening on the frontline. We are our patient’s advocates. But we shouldn’t be finishing 22 hour shifts fighting the virus and then spend time off fighting disinformation and abuse on social media...1/4
It is exhausting trying to dispel COVID myths, trying to engage with those who don’t believe COVID even exists to those who don’t want to put on a mask. I’ve had all sorts. From death threats to multiple abusive DMs a day. It is so demoralising 2/
Somehow NHS staff have become the first line of defence in UK public health using what little energy they have left fighting disinformation as well as fighting the virus. Because of this NHS staff are being pummelled with abuse online, at a time when they most need support. 3/

And while you’re at it @piersmorgan @Peston @SamCoatesSky @maitlis & @krishgm can you explain to them that the virus won’t go away just because the “old & vulnerable” have been vaccinated. It will continue to spread through communities until ADEQUATE SAFETY measures are in place.
As we’re seeing now on “the frontline” WHOLE FAMILIES are infected. The combination of advice to #schools/#earlyyears & #Christmas/#NewYear created repeated family #SuperSpreaderEvents of monumental proportions.
There are young ppl who’re sick & in ITU. More cases = more v sick.
INDOOR workplaces are NOT #CovidSecure .
#Schools & #earlyyears settings are NOT #CovidSecure.
Too many ppl are travelling, to many work outside their home & are in education/childcare.
Look at the roads,the #Tube this morning.

I am devastated by the abuse NHS staff are getting on Twitter. You might have noticed I’ve been posting 💙 for a while hoping it will catch on...but if you stand with the NHS and it’s staff please you will help turn Twitter blue and pop an #NHSblueheart on your name? Pls RT! Image
Wow, I am almost in tears to see the overwhelming support for NHS staff and each little blue heart 💙 Well actually I am in tears. Please if you’re putting a little blue heart in support of your NHS staff could you tweet #NHSblueheart? Let’s get this trending 💙💙💙
If you want to leave a message of support for NHS staff with #NHSblueheart as well so they can read that would be just so lovely. Twitter has been a really hard place for NHS staff, lets show them how much support they really have 💙💙💙
