We predicted this wave, everything is going according to plan

If schools going back is such an issue for removing other restrictions why don't they do something about it like ventilation or vaccination?

#edutwitter #DowningStreetBriefing #JohnsonVariant
What they are really saying is

"We have to go now because in September we plan on letting the virus rip through as many children as possible in hope of blunting a winter wave a few months later"

"Why are we doing this? Well one factor is the vaccine programme is starting to struggle, asking for help would expose this so to save face we will sacrifice peoples health"

"Also the lobbyists have taken Iver this government and sells its strategy and policies to the highest bidder among the backers who share our ideology"

"We also hope you don't realise we are acknowledging schools play a significant role in transmission, we've known that all along, but fortunately we have enough coopted media and experts to gaslight a whole nation"
"Yeah we know it was only last week @GavinWilliamson was still claiming transmission wasn't an issue in schools, but that's alright, not like anyone in the media will pull us up on this, even Labour aren't questioning our plans to mass infect children"
"When we said education was a priority, we weren't talking about your children, we meant as a value to control infection"
"We never really dropped mass infection as a route to herd immunity. March 2020 we said schools needed to stay open to facilitate infection, then in April 2020 we claimed infections and transmission in children were rare, and we got away with it!"
"We have successfully got enough of the country to ignore how far our policies deviate from most the world. By controlling the political narrative with support of hydras of think tanks and astroturf we have made fringe views the accepted UK mainstream"
"We are using exactly the same strategies employed by modern alt-right politics around the world, due to nature of the British establishment, UK has less protections to prevent State Capture"

This was predictable as were the methods used

The people comfortable with allowing infections to spread through schools are the same ones who said it wasn't going to happen
#edutwitter
They really don't like people talking about @LongCovidKids

These are the same people who have argued against masks in schools throughout, and many have supported astroturf UsForThem who get to be in the Telegraph several times a week.
UsForThem who push the GBD narrative, who have links to lobbyists and politicians, who have been champion by various media sources and personalities.

Whats the plan? Just pretend covid doesn't exist

🧵This wave was brought to you by the lobbyists of the GBD and Dingwall

SAGE advice is being ignored, but the GBD has gotten nearly everything they wanted

Considering ministers backgrounds it looks like lobbyists have taken over the government
We're dealing with a dangerous combination of corruption and ideology which doesn't believe in accountability.

What we are dealing with looks like a particular type of corruption, State Capture Image
Issue with state capture is that its often not illegal because its about changing laws and regulation and the awarding of positions.

They are also using culture war as an excuse to insert ppl linked to the party into every state institution. Image

🧵 @GavinWilliamson Statement to the commons.
What a sham

"Important mitigations like hand washing and improved ventilation will remain"

What improved ventilation? How do they keep getting away with pushing this lie?
#edutwitter
2/ Shows how out of touch Tory MPs are that a huge cheer goes up when GW says that social distancing will end in schools.

Do they actually believe the crap they read in the Telegraph?
3/ @KateGreenSU says she's relieved bubbles are going, asks about support for ventilation, evidence for removing masks and will children be vaccinated?

SAGE: this will increase the risk of variants, will make it harder to contain variants and ethnic and disadvantaged communities will face the brunt of a lack of mitigations
Johnson: Thats a risk we are willing for them to take Image
Recommendations by SAGE are to try and keep transmission down.
Better support for isolation
Isolating close contacts is important, so the decision to scrap it in schools isn't supported by SAGE
Test and trace still important, still needs improving Image
Asymptomatic testing, important that LFDs are used appropriately and their limitations are properly explained to the public, this isn't happening
WFH still recommended Image

#r4today Justin Webb, "Isn't it just inevitable this year or next that everyone is going to end up getting infected at some point and we just need to accept that"
Then goes on to question why government would need to produce guidelines for workplaces
Switch to @LBC reporter is outside a train station to ask ppl if they will be pleased with ditching the "dreaded mask"
Onto GMB , Madeley asks a respected scientist if she wants to keep masks because she is a communist, repeating RW rags attack lines
