🧵on being covid aware & cautious when the world says no to that. I’m in a new minority in the UK as someone who hasn’t (knowingly) had a covid infection. Once I understood how contagious C19 was, I understood risks went beyond just me alone but was more about everyone else
2/ Then I considered it was a new unknown to medics & scientists. By March’20 in the uk it was clear too little too late had been done, unprecedented levels of infection, it was traumatic to learn how many were dying everyday at an increasing rate. Definitely something to avoid.
3/ still I thought, what does it do to the people who survive it? Understandably focus remained on levels of mortality. Then I learnt that epidemiologists were very concerned not only about all the visible impacts but also about virus mutation.
So yesterday I received this forwarded message outlining some very concerning parts of the government's new #SchoolsBill, smuggled in in the recent Queen's Speech.
This bill seems to be an OUTRAGEOUS infringement on the rights of parents who want to home educate.

The bill is currently at committe stage in the Lord's.
And yet I've been amazed to find virtually no media coverage on this. Why? Have people just lost it in the midst of all the other current fiascos?
