1/ The darkest tyrannies in history commonly treat those under them as mere human cattle. They act to sunder that most precious bond of a parent's care for their offspring & render the family a mere breeding unit.
This violates all ethical & religious precepts.

2/ Since barely afflicted there is NO science behind this (quite the converse given evidence that children may help boost adult immunity in the households they share), but even "#science" is NOT the point.
This is a totalitarian outrage which no-one with any morality can condone.

3/ To be forced by the state to submit our precious little ones to this insane medical experiment in a desperate attempt to make up for its obvious shortcomings and so to spare its political enablers recrimination or embarrassment is beyond abhorrent.

This is an all hands on deck moment. In-person school is starting. W/ the #DeltaVariant, even w/ the majority of the relevant strategies in place, itās going to be difficult to prevent transmission in our schools (linkedin.com/pulse/in-persoā¦). š§µ1/

In an elementary classroom w/ unvaxxed students, generally ASHRAE compliant ventilation/filtration, the addition of (1) portable HEPA filter unit, & theoretical 100% mask wearing (double layer cloth mask), max exposure is only about 1.2 hrs before an additional student... 2/ 
is potentially infected at full occupancy (assuming 1 infected student is present).
Accounting for the potential reality of younger kids not always effectively wearing their masks (50% mask wearing), the max exposure is under an hour before an additional student is infected. 3/

Letās start with the numbers:
In the last year that we have published data on (2018), there were 27,500 staffed pediatric beds and 5,400 pediatric ICU (PICU) beds in the USA.

NEW | A National Emergency: How #COVID19 Is Fueling Unrest in the #US

Analyzing the past year of @ACLEDINFO data, our latest report reveals the full scope of the pandemicās impact on #American protest patterns for the first time.
Key findings ā¶ļø bit.ly/3rkNZGR
Trends in pandemic-related demonstrations are closely correlated with trends in #COVID19 cases, with spikes in unrest matching infection waves reported throughout 2020.
ACLED data show that the majority of these demonstrations have been organized around five main drivers: the risks faced by health workers, the safety of prisoners and ICE detainees, anti-restriction mobilization, the eviction crisis, and school closures.
All #schoolreopening 8th March while infection rates still too high and schools remain a vector for transmission. Why not wait 3 weeks, with Easter holidays starting 29th, which would have given 5 weeks to get infection rates really low and all over 50s vaccinated. #covid
In the time since lockdown was announced nothing new has been put in place in schools to mitigate Transmission. Possibly testing but that had to be withdrawn because itās not for asymptotic cases and should only be done by trained personnel. @BorisJohnson incompetence again.
Today the Chief Scientific Advisor did say improvements had been made in schools - more mask wearing and greater ventilation. Iām not sure which schools heās talking about, but I donāt know a school that has increased ventilation. Itās prohibitively expensive in windowless rooms
Nearly one million Californians may be exposed to potentially harmful pollutants emitted by #PCO devices. This now includes school children across the country. Paid for by #CARESAct funds. #ventilation #filtration #COVID #schoolreopening #schoolsafety #ReOpenSafely #snakeoil
I commend @AirResources for their regulation on O3 thanks to amazing researchersšš¼Iād like to know when other oxidant producing purifiers will also be regulated? Many schls have implemented these devices w/ #CaresAct funds. Experts agree: No to adding ANY oxidants to indoor air.
We need you to regulate this ASAP as many schools have already purchased & implemented these systems due to their presences on the #CARB approved list. #schoolreopening #schoolclosures #schoolsafety #COVID19 #ListenToTheExperts #hygienetheater #snakeoil
The debate around #schoolsreopening during #Covid19 has been largely grounded in conjecture to this point - we're proud to contribute DATA to the discussion - a thread from our experiences testing an entire K-12 school population from August thru December.medrxiv.org/content/10.110ā¦
2)Kids do contract+transmit #COVID19, but rates of illness when they are IN school are LOWER than when OUT of school. Suggests that children/communities may be at lower risk when in school -poss due to mitigation measures +controlled environment not possible when out of school
It's the eve of a new school year. The younger one is excited. He's read "la liste des fournitures scolaires" and packed shield, headphones, sanitizer, pencil case, tissue box.

I'm nervous too.
"What are you nervous about?"
I'm expecting the usual - new school, people, routines - and reassure her. As a local school, she'll easily develop friendships in our neighborhood, which she missed in previous years.
"What about COVID? Will it be there?"

Her fears are about transmission, as source + as contact.
About bringing it home. About sharing with friends.
And about getting something WAY worse than cooties.
Maybe even at the level of poopy pants, but I don't explore this.
So little is in her control these days.

For second week in a row, @GovHolcomb's weekly coronavirus briefing has been delayed. We're told it's once again a technical problem.
Two-minute warning; we'll be starting 13 minutes late.
Aaaaand two minutes proves to be optimistic as well.
.@IndyMayorJoe opens #coronavirus briefing with blast at Indianapolis Speedrome and other businesses who ignored virus guidance over the weekend: "We've spent months clawing our way to where we are" in fighting the virus. "To see people squandering that is painful."
Hogsett on "irresponsible voices" insisting the #pandemic is exaggerated or imagined: "Their selfishness is an insult to the 3,000 families" in Indiana who have lost loved ones to the virus since March.
.@Marion_Health director Virginia Caine says MCHD will step up enforcement of #MaskUp order and social distancing requirements. Hogsett says, "The time for warnings is over."
A comprehensive & balanced view of health & educational risks & benefits is key to decision-making about in-person #schoolreopening. Project Parabolaās suite of resources will be regularly revised to reflect latest scientific evidence & new learning resources. Tools include: ā¬ļø
āThe School Reopening Readiness Guideā is an evidence-informed guide to assist district & school leaders in developing, evaluating, & executing operational plans for #reopeningschools. ā bit.ly/33Mf5ho
āThe Practitioner Toolkit: How to Build a Mask Cultureā aims to help #educators consider how to best help students adjust to and sustain mask-wearing. ā bit.ly/3ad6up9
Donāt understand why Lecce and @fordnation need to operate at the board level. If they could establish a high/low risk plan for high school reopening based on geography, surely they could have *within* the TDSB for K-8. @TOPublicHealth has already demonstrated COVID inequities.
We know the hardest hit areas in Toronto and those less heavily affected. We know which schools exist in those respective areas. Why canāt we admit that all schools arenāt equal in the TDSB and localize the approach to #SchoolReopening? #edutwitter #covidontario
Also, publicly release data on max class sizes above grade 3 per school. Itās relevant to the Sick Kids guidance, there are no hard caps but rather board averages, and anecdotally high income/low density areas obscure high class sizes in lower income/high density school zones.
Inadequate testing and tracing, unrealistic expectations of school cleanliness and student hygiene, and ultimately impractical solutions for things like transportation, lunch and sudden outbreaks are why SCHOOLS SHOULD BE DISTANCE LEARNING UNTIL JANUARY. #SchoolReopening (1/5)
This would allow districts, local and state governments to focus on providing services for those families for whom distance learning is a hardship, impractical due to work situation or student accommodations or needs. (2/5)
Districts could provide distance learning pods made up of small groups of students in school facilities. These could be staffed by teachers or educators who are low risk or volunteer. Similar to this idea... (3/5) nytimes.com/2020/07/20/opiā¦

The #backtoschool plan:
- mandatory masks for grades 4+, masks encouraged for jk-grade 3
- $309 million to hire 500 public health nurses & 900 custodians, purchase #PPE etc
- full-time elementary non-cohort
- high schools cohorts, mixed online/full time depending on region

.@IndyMayorJoe: teachers in high risk groups will be allowed to opt out of in-person classes.
.@Marion_Health director Virginia Caine: cases have been rising steadily since #4thofJuly2020. Positivity rate rose for two weeks but has leveled off around 9% (current 7-day avg: 8.3%).

Summary: schools can only reopen safely if community transmission is low, otherwise outbreaks will occur.

2. First, a recap, showing that child-to-child and child-to-adult transmission of #SARSCoV2 occurs, and that cases in children are being missed (which will affect the findings of some studies published to date).
3. The thread linked to previously has many sub-threads. I've linked to an important one below.
It contains evidence that children and adults are equally likely to be infected with #SARSCoV2 given the right circumstances.

Of all the American institutions the pandemic has shut down, none faces pressure to reopen quite like schools do. Pediatricians exhort schools to open their doors wherever possible or risk developmental harm to kids. Working parents are in crisis.

BREAKING: @GovHolcomb will require masks, starting Monday.
Indiana is 31st state to require #masks. Holcomb notes both numbers and rates of #coronavirus cases are rising, including in counties which hadn't been hotspots previously. "We've worked hard to get where we are....We don't want to have to go back."
Holcomb: one of most important reasons to require #masks is that school is starting. "Kids shouldn't get mixed messages" when they leave school. And science is clear that masks make a critical difference.
#SouthKorea has done a fantastic job with #ContactTracing This article analyzed reports for 59,073 contacts of 5,706 #COVID19 index patients. I believe it has important info for decision making related to #SchoolReopening

- Of 10,592 household contacts, 11.8% had #COVID19
- Of 48, 481 nonhousehold contact, 1.9% had #COVID19
- All contacts were monitored for an avg 9.9 days after #SARSCoV2 was detected
- In houses with index 10-19 y.o, 18.6% of contacts had #COVID19
- Of 48, 481 nonhousehold contact, 1.9% had #COVID19
- All contacts were monitored for an avg 9.9 days after #SARSCoV2 was detected
- In houses with index 10-19 y.o, 18.6% of contacts had #COVID19
Conclusion
- Rates were higher for contacts of children than adults
- Reports from other countries estimate secondary attack rate for close contact ~ 35%
-High infection rate within family, so use personal protective measures should be used at home to reduce risk of transmission

Thoughts on #SchoolReopening:
Getting kids back to school safely should be a priority. No doubt kids NEED school, not just for education but for social interaction, good mental health, development etc. Additionally it facilities parents/caregivers returning to work.š§µā¤µļø 1/

Controlling community transmission so cases continue downwards until Sept 2020 is critical. That means continuing w/ distancing, masks, hand washing, & limiting gatherings. Thereās only so much that can be done to change schools in this short timeframe. 3/
Letās talk schools opening up and whatās not being talked about. #thread #SchoolReopening #COVID19
We have seen a few school opening plans to date and one theme seems to be present in them, what to do with the fucking sick.
Yes they have temp checks at the doors or getting on the bus and questionares about sickness but mostly nothing about if an outbreak happens.
Yes they have temp checks at the doors or getting on the bus and questionares about sickness but mostly nothing about if an outbreak happens.
We have yet to see a plan that requires a PCR test for everyone to be in the school. Students teachers and staff to establish a base line starting point before the opening.
