🚨 #MedTwitter 🚨 we need your help!

Vulnerable families with children at Primary School are being told they must *not* wear masks.

🏫 😷 🚫

In some cases Doctor's notes 📝 are being demanded so as not to "open the flood gates.".

CV/CEV Families UK want to wedge the gates wide open for *all* children. Risks to lives & @LongCovidKids🚪🌊🚪

Today, a parent was sent the attached email and told:

"If * comes to school wearing * mask you will be phoned & asked to collect them." 😷📲

*Pls read the email*

An example of an incorrect assertion made by this Head:

"Masks need to be changed every 20-30mins" 🕡
*taken out of context, actually relates to sports use.

We need your help to gather as many Doctor's notes (tweets) supporting #MasksInSchool.
📝😷🏫

Thank you! Pls RT

Q:When are mitigations not mitigations?

A:When they are optional in schools.

1/ When schools returned in 09/2020 the focus was on 'Hands' and surfaces.

There was no desire by @GOVUK to implement 'Face'masks.

And no extra 'Space' available,
Nightingale schools dismissed.
2/ "All children must be in school." we were told "There is little evidence of Covid transmission in school.".

* They were right because in the Summer term very few children had returned for face to face teaching and children spent lots of time outside and in tiny bubbles.
3/ Cases started to rise rapidly in children.

A fire break at halfterm dismissed. Schools went back and cases continued to accelerate upwards.

So in early November we partially added 'Face'masks to the equation.

But, ONLY
in communal areas,
in Secondary
AND
optionally.

1/Shielding ends today. CEV expected to return to frontline professions without protections.

Risks to their lives unknown. Most with only 1 functional vaccine, some with none due to complex medical needs.

Studies ongoing. A 'leaky wall' unlikely to provide effective protection.
2/Their unknown risks have not been made clear to them, their employers or schools expecting CEV children and children of CEV back.

We know the vaccine might not offer adequate protection and additional risks are posed by variants of concern.
3/The best chance of safety is unofficial shielding something many CV have done all along. Without understanding employers, online working an option, they were forced onto benefits.

Difficult choices lie ahead. Risk assessments don't account for #COVIDisAirborne. Even with ⬇️ Image
