Morning @susannareid100 & @piersmorgan, just catching up on your discussion w/ experts on #schools.
STUNNING that not one of them mention SIMPLE, BASIC PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES like #MasksInClassrooms & improved #Ventilation to #MakeSchoolsSafer.
It’s truly not rocket science!
Please could you ask every Minister who comes on the program why British children can’t #WearAMask IN CLASSROOMS?
Why can’t #Ventilation be improved & CO2 monitors be installed?
Why can’t uniform be abandoned for this term & all kids be advised to wear warm clothes? 2/4
How long will it take to get the desperately needed laptops to those kids without them & sort out WiFi issues?
Why the physical & #mentalhealth of staff & parents is dismissed so easily in every single discussion?
Parents & grandparents have died. Teachers have died! 3/4
EVERYONE of us wants schools to open fully, but ONLY WHEN THEY ARE SAFE FOR ALL.
#handsfacespacereplace 😷 #Covid19UK #SafeEdForAll
@SafeEdForAll_UK @GMB

Thank you for doing everything you can to hold the government to account. We really appreciate it! 4/4

1/4 I don’t claim to be an expert.
I’m not a scientist, virologist or epidemiologist.
But I have a scientific brain & like to understand “things”.
I’m told the plan to FULLY reopen Primary Schools SOON, WITHOUT ANY INCREASED MITIGATION MEASURES is based on this study below ⬇️.
2/The thing that JUMPS OUT @ me when assessing the results is that the study was done between June-Nov 20!
Schools were barely open in June/July, closed in Aug & opened again in Sept.
How can a study that included the school summer holidays be used to justify FULL OPENING NOW?
3/ Secondly, the study was over summer months...
We know that 1) we can easily spend more time outdoors in warmer weather, & 2) the virus appears to “like” warmer weather less.
Thirdly we now have a more transmissible UK #covidvariant &
SA+Brazilian ones too.

1/11 🧵 Just watched @BBCPolitics in utter dismay!

Waiting/hoping for SOMEONE to mention #VENTILATION or kids wearing #MasksInClassrooms, using EXTRA spaces to create #SafeSpacesToLearn...etc
Have all commentators been forbidden to mention these options, have they been gagged?
2/ If this ⬇️ is SAGE’s own assessment in Dec20. Image
3/ And we think this ⬇️ regarding risk dependent on location, time, masks etc. Image

Morning @susannareid100 & @piersmorgan
We need to introduce another element to the #schools debate?
Not IF or WHEN, but HOW can we #MakeSchoolsSafe ENOUGH to open them fully AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Opening them without effective mitigation measures IS NOT AN OPTION.
1/8
We all know that staying partially “closed” for any length of time isn’t good on so many levels but the MSM seem to avoid the obvious questions TO KIDS about what THEY could do to help.

Ask them “would you #WearAMask to be able to go to school?” The majority would say YES!
2/8
Ask “would you mind if the windows were open all day long but you could wear extra clothes to keep warm?” - they’ll say NO!

Ask “if we start using extra “non-school” spaces like libraries & function rooms to have more space for you to learn in safely, would you mind?”- NO!

Ditto, ditto ditto.... 👏👏👏@mrjamesob

“What we don’t need now is MORE PEOPLE MIXING!”

“When will the lying stop?” 1/8

@LBC @GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson @educationgovuk
This debate has NOTHING TO DO W/ CHILD WELFARE!
It’s NOT about ⬇️ the social divide caused by deprivation.
It’s NOT because #Tory MPs & high profile journalists CARE about vulnerable children & it is CERTAINLY NOT because they care about the #mentalhealth of our youngsters. 2/
THEY DON’T!
Through 10yrs of #austerity they didn’t care!
Through the school holidays of a pandemic they still don’t care! This is about keeping parents @ work,⬇️ the stress of #HomeSchooling & giving #Tory voters free time to do as they wish. 3/

1/ 7🧵It’s struck me over the past weeks that the current HUGE CONCERN from @conservative MPs & high profile media stars about the #mentalhealth of children is RATHER ODD?
Bare with me here-
My “kids” are 19,22 & 25.
Where are the campaign groups worried about THESE young ppl?
2/ There’s VERY LITTLE media/political discussion about the effect on students - mental, physical AND financial. Many are anxious & down, missing their friends.They may have unhappy, abusive homes & be desperate to “get away” or may have nowhere to study effectively either.
3/What about graduates living back @ home w/ parents, applying for jobs that are like needles in haystacks.
No social life or freedoms, no jobs or financial stability.
Most young ppl love their families but wouldn’t choose to live w/ them indefinitely. Anyone shouting 4 them?

I’m sorry @halfon4harlowMP, but this is outdated & untrue!
Dr Harries: “It is very much a closed community.”
You’re expecting us to believe that #schools are CLOSED COMMUNITIES?!
YEAR BUBBLES + staff & families
To describe them as CLOSED COMMUNITIES is complete fantasy! 1/ 7
I don’t know what the reasons are for REFUSING to accept that educational/ early years staff aren’t at INCREASED RISK, but this is also NOT TRUE! As a healthcare professional I find it deeply disturbing that #DfE aren’t prepared to make simple changes to protect so many lives.2/
#COVID19 is a serious multi-system disease.
Even those with mild symptoms can develop #LongCovid & a significant number of those discharged from hospital die in the next few months. Young, fit ppl are suffering & dying.
And #KidsGetLongCovid too! 3/
