And please remember if you are looking for more of these, check out another #kidsandcovid thread here:

Very, very sad. Wisconsin teacher passed away from COVID.

As of Thursday, Bay Port was reporting 9 positive cases of COVID-19, 8 involving students. 8 staff/31 students were under quarantine.
I just want to add, when school staff or kids pass away, especially when school is in, it's a big deal. (@ it is in & should be in worksites, families, etc.) In schools there's usually gatherings, that shouldn't happen now, memorial services, and it's so very extra sad for all.
Just a few of these tonight. To the North. In the 2 weeks since classes resumed, at least 1,000 students and staff in schools across Edmonton quarantined after potential exposure to COVID-19. There have been 78 cases in 57 of Alberta's 2,415 schools.

Schools, ventilation and #kidsandcovid
Important: thread within a thread ref other threads. Parents, ppl who work in schools/colleges, this is what you need to know & talk to your BOE about. Tell friends. Make sure they know why - the goal is not to get COVID bc you also give it, you don't know what it will do in you.
Have some music: 

People need to know this:


Then they need to apply it. Important - if we read a healthy menu item, we think we ate healthily. So just reading this isn't enough. Do it.
Always be thinking. Read this too from @jameshamblin theatlantic.com/health/archive…
Will it be easy to apply it?

Not always.

You might have to push, be stubborn, be persistent. Think Border Collie, Chow Chow, Jack Russell Terrier for the dog people. That helps you remember to be nice but firm. 

But we need to make our world safe for ourselves.
Indoors is never "safe." In this big thread there are places with very low case # w/#kidsandcovid. Contact tracers look for people who've been around (6ft) a COVID-19 positive person for only *15* minutes. Even with masks. Reminder:

Because "We are following all cleaning protocols required by the state and doing all that we can to protect the health and safety of our students and staff."

sweetwaternow.com/pinedale-eleme…
Plus “Classrooms and common areas are currently being sanitized and disinfected according to CDC guidelines."

nhregister.com/news/article/N…
This "provides us with the time needed to appropriately disinfect the building, prior to our safe return to school."

newsday.com/news/health/co…
And  "The district will be doing additional cleaning of PCTA and Sanchez this weekend, in accordance with established health protocols."

providencejournal.com/news/20200918/…
The custodians everywhere need a raise. "The school's custodial team performed extra rounds of deep cleaning and sanitization in the affected areas on top of its regular regimen to prepare for Friday's in-person classes."

patch.com/new-york/farmi…
There's nothing wrong with cleaning. I clean things I don't need to I'm sure. But go back: 
& ask if these schools (heaven help them - I wouldn't want to be in their shoes) could be doing more, better to help prevent? Instead of a

Missed this: US Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November 2019 say "sources". We warned others apparently - Israel and NATO.

I saw something in Nov 2019 that made me start watching and translating tweets from China. I didn't believe it was plague. 1/
I read NYT and thought the doctor didn't sound sure of her diagnosis. The rabbit eating bubonic plague pneumonia. I said nah.

What's weird is maybe it was that and I started scanning for more and coincidentally was aware of everything that happened into the Dec 31 announcement.
Because I was on increasingly high alert into the holidays and stopped shopping in crowds the week before Christmas. Intuition that hasn't happened with pox, etc.

Anyway! Weird. Links for all in the next couple of tweets:

As if...
Our leaders would prefer the media put out doubt that COVID is killing meemaw and uncle Bob.

COVID is only going to be bad for 4 months, per Jha's latest spin.

So what could account for excess deaths the other 8 months?



Continued with some receipts.
Except - no one is really getting vaccinated are they?

Photo below shows Reuters, Bloomberg Law, Seeking Alpha leading with the signal.

WaPo actually leads with the conclusion. Maybe they don't need the clicks.

It could be that simple! My trust of our leaders is that low.

White House’s Jha says winter surge is unlikely — mask mandates off the table

Ashish Jha, the White House COVID-19 coordinator, does not expect the U.S. to experience a substantial holiday surge like it did last year with omicron. “We are in a very different place, and we will
remain in a different place,” Jha told the STAT Summit in Boston on Tuesday, noting that 90% of Americans have received at least one dose of vaccine and “a large chunk of Americans have gotten infected.” While he acknowledged that newer variants could change the picture, Jha said
“I believe we are in a way better place no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.” He added that Americans are unlikely to see the return of any mandatory virus mitigation measures such as indoor masking requirements or attendance caps on large gatherings.
