📍Pardon my vent about insufficient ventilation / air exchange & school policy. Air exchange (via fresh air or disinfection) is really important for reducing #COVID19 transmission—we should aim for 5-6 air exchanges per hour. Achieving 5-6 is harder, but should we give up? No!🧵
2) President Kennedy once said, we choose to goto the moon 🌙 not because it is easy, but because they are hard—and important. Some think asking for sufficient school ventilation is like asking schools to goto the moon. No, not true! It’s possible. We can do it.
3) First there are ways to ventilate without HEPA filters or full windows. You can even with 1 door. 2 doors better. Here is how to ventilate your school classrooms if unable to open window. #COVID19

Sudden Kindergarten outbreak—a once small #COVID19 outbreak in an Austrian🇦🇹 kindergarten exploded from 10 cases Monday to suddenly *32 cases* by Wed—20 cases in kids, 12 adults & caregivers.
2) “some caregivers complained of symptoms on Saturday. They were then tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on Saturday, despite negative rapid tests on Friday. Already on Sunday, the parents of the 75 kindergarten children were informed via the kindergarten app "KidsFox".
3) “Since then, all children and caregivers have been quarantined, the kindergarten and, for safety reasons, the afternoon care KiLo, are closed until further notice.”
So... @GovRonDeSantis misled the public, again. @RonDeSantisFL’s “Florida is 34th” claim excludes teens over 14 year old. When included, Florida pediatric cases is 9th. #COVID19
