The problem is not the children #PrimeMinister, it’s the refusal to accept the facts.
Put simply, children “get it”.
They want to protect their families/ teachers & want to do the right thing.
It’s a well known fact- #COVIDisAirborne & #MasksSaveLives
#WearAMask
@BorisJohnson
You children are absolutely gorgeous Leah!
Thank you so much for sharing these lovely photos 🥰.
A thought for parents keen for #MasksInClassrooms to be the norm rather than the exemption....
Could we get photos of #KidsInMasks holding signs saying #COVIDisAirborne #MasksSaveLives #IWantToWearAMask
#MyMaskProtectsOthers ? Age appropriate obvs.

Just want to add that I’ve seen many patients in 😷s like these made out of a nylon type fabric. Risking a barrage of abuse from producers....THESE MASKS ARE USELESS!
Too thin, single layer, stretch then don’t fit.
You shouldn’t be able to blow out a candle through your 😷!

🧵1/6 ALL of us have a connection to a school/ #earlyyears setting. We ALL want to see better control of #COVID19 in the UK & avoid another #lockdown.
So ALL of us should be demanding that #schools/nurseries are made S.A.F.E.R.
SIMPLE BASIC PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES will #SaveLives
2/....protecting staff, pupils, families & communities.
How long do we have to wait for the Gvmt to offer/allow adequate mitigation for an airborne virus that’s caused 1000s of AVOIDABLE DEATHS, countless cases of #LongCovid & economic devastation?
How many ppl need to die?
3/If @BorisJohnson won’t protect us,we must protect each other.
Write to your MP/local council asking for #SafeEdForAll
Advice ALL kids >6yrs going to school #WearAMask.
ALLOW staff to wear #MasksInClassrooms. Teaching won’t be perfect but the current situation’s isn’t either.

#COVIDisAirborne .
Gvmt & education leaders cannot deny THE FACTS any longer.
THE DANGER IS KNOWN.
It is no exaggeration to liken pupils & staff to the men kicking radioactive rubble off the roof in #Chernobyl. 1/6
#Coronavirus is literally “hanging in the air”.
To deny millions of adults & children the right to BASIC, SIMPLE public health measures almost 10 months into a pandemic is not only IRRESPONSIBLE & NEGLIGENT, it is UNFORGIVABLE! 2/6
The Gvmt’s stubborn ignorance & disingenuous concern for the welfare of children is literally killing ppl, causing AVOIDABLE suffering to 1000s of families. You only have to think of current discussions around #FreeSchoolMeals to realise their sympathy is completely false. 3/6

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.

1) If both #NHS & @GOVUK websites have ONLY 3 symptoms with NO comment about other possible symptoms 1 of 2 things will happen. People WITH #COVID19 won’t realise they need or be able to access a test. OR those people that know there are more symptoms will have to lie to get one.
2)So there will be 1000s of ppl W/ #COVID19 oblivious that they have it & returning to work/school as soon as their symptoms have gone. Add to this that headteachers can only request a test for a child OR send a contact home based on those 3 SYMPTOMS huge numbers will be missed.
3)Then consider that the much hailed #lateralflowtest s have a very high FALSE NEGATIVE rate AND that they’re going to be used widely across educational settings to AVOID children & staff isolating.
This is a recipe for an ABSOLUTE DISASTER!

Dear @MattHancock, for MANY MONTHS we’ve known that the symptoms of #COVID19 include
Persistent dry cough
Fever of > 37.8 degs
Loss or alteration of taste or smell
Shortness of breath
Sore throat
Headache
Muscle aches & pain
Fatigue
And in children the symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, joint pains/redness and odd rashes
And yet, when I did a quick check of the #NHS & @GOVUK websites this evening I was shocked to find this 👇
And this 👇

Here’s few reasons @krishgm
1) Govt want parents to work. They need to maintain the illusion that “Schools are safe”. If parents are in doubt they may not send their kids & will be unable to work.
2)They’ve failed SPECTACULARLY to provide enough #laptops & #Wifi for kids without
After 9 months they’ve supplied “world beatingly” low numbers meaning teachers can’t easily move to #blendedlearning .
So classes are fuller with many children who’ve no access to a laptop or WiFi, or a space to learn, compounding the issue of transmission again.
3)If Govt admit schools are places with high transmission of #coronavirus they will be forced to mandate #MasksInClassrooms. This will be very unpopular within many freedom loving @Conservatives MPs & the RW media who are chomping at the bit to “unlock”!
