“Thanks for the reminder. Please make sure my child’s classrooms are ready for the first day of school by having good ventilation 🪟, adequate filtration (HEPA), CO2 monitors for teachers, encouraging masking, testing, staying home when sick, & educating families…”/2

“…to reduce the risk of of COVID-I9 infection in school, at home & in our community.”

“These mitigations are important because currently available COV1D-19 vaccines don’t fully prevent infection, transmission, & reinfection, the virus can affect every organ system…”/3

“…in the body, weaken the immune system, lower IQ, lead to LongCOVID even after a mild infection, & there are no treatments available.”

The long term damage happening to children's 🧠🫀🫁, etc…while
confined inside poorly mitigated classrooms 30+ hrs/week…” /4

“…1,000+hrs/yr, is not yet fully understood.

Precautionary principle is key!
Preventing harm is prudent!
Protecting all children is essential!

You have two weeks!”✌️ /5

I’m not expecting a reply…but it felt good to send it! 💪😷 /6
