⚠️”In last 10 days alone, before school has even opened, 4 school-aged children have been admitted to hospitals.” ~a Florida school superintendent begs @GovRonDeSantis for temporary mask mandate in schools. This FL kid was in pediatric ICU for 3 days⬇️ 🧵
2) Leon County School District Superintendent Rocky Hanna is calling on @GovRonDeSantis to give school districts "flexibility and autonomy" to act to protect students amid a surge in COVID cases that has taxed hospitals locally & statewide. @RonDeSantisFL
google.com/amp/s/amp.tall…
3) Hanna on Wednesday morning specifically said he wants to temporarily mandate masks in schools for teachers and students pre-K through 8th grade "who are not eligible to receive a vaccine."
4) "It's never too late to do the right thing," Hanna said at a press conference surrounded by masked school employees. 
In a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis, Hanna made a personal appeal saying we "not allow pride or politics to cloud our better judgement."
5) “Over the last 60 days, I have stood firm in my belief that a mask mandate was the wrong course of action," he wrote. "With that said, I believe that new data and information as well as student instructional models compels us to rethink mask protocols.”
6) “School-wide mask wearing is a proven, mitigating strategy to reduce the spread of COVID-19."

The move comes after Alachua and Duval counties amended their mask policies in defiance of Gov. Ron DeSantis' executive order to make masks optional in schools.
7) Executive order 21-175 (Ensuring Parents’ Freedom to Choose – Masks in Schools) also allows the state to withhold funds if a district does not fall in line with the policy. flgov.com/wp-content/upl…
8) Florida has the most children hospitalized for COVID-19, according to reporting by the Tampa Bay Times. Between July 24 and 30, the state saw 32 child hospitalizations per day. tampabay.com/news/health/20…
9) On June 11, Hanna supported the optional mask rule when the positivity rate in Leon County was 2%. The positivity rate in Leon County on Monday was nearing 16%, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

10) Many other school districts in FL have had to rescind their mask mandates or else get their funding cut off by @GovRonDeSantis
11) When hospitals are full… we all suffer. Especially the children.
12) ICU doctor @WesElyMD explains the video… “in Covid pneumonia you can build up the same levels of phlegm that you do in cystic fibrosis.” — so yes, #COVID19 pneumonia in kids can be like this damnit. #DeltaVariant
13) I don’t post this for some “fear porn”. This video is personal to me - as a child I had open-chest surgery in which I was intubated & even lost part of my right lung🫁. I was catheterized too, plus had 2 drainage tubes in my chest to drain excess fluid buildup. But this kid…
14) 📍Kids and COVID—Dr Mark Kline at Children's Hospital New Orleans: "#DeltaVariant is every infectious disease specialist's worst nightmare. There was a myth—that children were somehow immune—It has become very clear that children are heavily impacted"
15) The IQ drop of ~7 points from ICU ventilated #COVID19 is astronomical. This study is prefer reviewed too - and comes from recent national UK 🇬🇧 testing data of COVID and no-Covid people. Even 2 point drop is huge—that’s ~lead poisoning IQ drop. And we see that in mild cases.
16) In case anyone thinks I sensationalized that… I did NOT. Just read the lay Sky News article yourself. The study wasn’t small - it was 81,000 people who were assessed cognitive decline, 13,000 who had COVID. news.sky.com/story/covid-19…
17) Covid’s long term effects on “brain fog” is notorious. Lots of data on this even last year, including increased risk of mental illness diagnoses. See detailed thread 🧵 below.
18) Why didn’t CDC or other govts warn us about brain damage and IQ declines??? I honestly don’t know. But we epidemiologists have known and highlighted this for 9 months! 👇
19 Please read this intelligence decline study yourself. It is incredibly sobering. Again, it’s *peer reviewed* and funded by UK’s leading dementia research institute, @wellcometrust and UK 🇬🇧 govt grants. #LongCovid brain damage is real. Please #vaccinate thelancet.com/action/showPdf… Image
20) Kids transmit too damnit. All those who said— “Kids are practically immune; Kids are “already basically a vaccinated adult”—are dead wrong.

Kids are just as likely to transmit as adults and daycare staff, even youngest kids, with #B117 variant—Pretty solid study . #COVID19
21) let this sink in — 1% of all #COVID19 confirmed cases in kids lead to hospitalization.

Is that really an “acceptable” level of kids morbidity that we will allow in society? Listen to Fauci here…
22) COVID has sextupled in 1 month in the US. Here is how it’s going…
23) Oh what the hell… @GovRonDeSantis is leaning into pretending not vaccinating is okay. What about the thousands hospitalized? Should Florida pay the hospital bills then? Should you be liable @RonDeSantisFL ?
24) Honestly I think DeSantis is too far gone— sociopathic moral emptiness.
25) while 11,000+ Floridians are hospitalized, Florida’s Governor goes out of state for fundraiser parties. All while ICUs are nearly full. Record surge. Complete moral emptiness. amp.detroitnews.com/amp/5481453001…
26) let’s check in how Florida is doing since the #DeltaVariant surge began….

⚠️Bad signal—CDC confirming—“cats having neurologic symptoms, rapid decline, and death” from H5N1 #birdflu. 3 more cases in cats 🐈 on dairy farms… now 6 total. ➡️The prior 3 bird flu positive cats? All dead now. Likely more. This is mammalian adaptation.
bnonews.com/index.php/2024…

2) I suspect cats are drinking milk from the dairy cows on the dairy farms. This is why we shouldn’t drink raw milk 🥛 currently. Even pasteurized milk, some scientists are unsure of because of lack of safety data. See thread 🧵 below.
3) Not just cats — certain dog breeds (like beagles are highly susceptible to H5N1 avian flu too. And such dogs can facilitate their adaptation towards humans eventually (since more dogs are around people than dairy cows).

📍Let this sink in—a world leading virologist @RickABright who has studied H5N1 bird flu says he is pausing all his milk consumption until he sees proof from both FDA & USDA that pasteurized milk is safe to drink. Pausing milk because of his concern over lack of transparent data.
Why are scientists pausing milk intake? Because there still isn’t enough data on safety of pasteurized milk. There has been data on other viruses in the past that survive pasteurization. See detailed thread 🧵 below.
3) also avoid raw and undercooked eggs for now just to be safe…

Testing conducted by the FDA on pasteurized commercially purchased milk has found genetic evidence of the H5N1 bird flu virus. ➡️But the testing, done by PCR cannot distinguish between live virus or fragments of viruses that could have been killed by the pasteurization process.

The FDA said it has been trying to see if it could grow virus from milk found to contain evidence of H5N1, which is the gold standard test to see if there is viable virus in a product. 📌The FDA *does NOT explicitly say FDA laboratories were unable to find live virus in the milk samples, but nevertheless it does state that its belief that commercial, pasteurized milk is safe to consume has not been altered by these findings.

(Sound familiar? Just like blanket assuming a virus “isn’t airborne”, “cannot transmit without symptoms”, “no human to human transmission” errors during COVID). That said, I will am hopeful that no live virus will be found in confirmation. But let’s be precautious.

2) PPE and safety googles or face shield recommended for dairy farmers and anyone handling raw milk 🥛. Also they warn about poor fitting respirators for children (who may work near dairy— like I used to help on a dairy farm as a kid in rural Pa). Image
3) people working with cattle 🐄 should also “avoid eating drinking smoking chewing gum in contaminated areas or touching eyes.” And people exposed should wear PPE should be monitored for symptoms for 10 days. Image

📈Measles epidemic trajectory is worsening in the U.S.—it has NOT flattened as some claimed. The surge continues—comparison of newest versus recent outbreak graph. Majority are unvaccinated, but there’s enough unvaccinated in many clusters for outbreaks.
cnn.com/health/measles…

2) here is another way to visualize the measles epidemic. Another annoying thing is that although 95% not double vaccinated, 5% of the previous 113 cases were vaccinated— which means that there is waning immunity or vaccine breakthrough with sufficiently big outbreak possible.
3) I specifically wanted about this issue that pockets of unvaccinated could still trigger outbreaks, and vaccine breakthroughs possible due to vaccine waning & if surrounded by pockets of low vaccinations. See my warning oped below. 👇

🐄—"Experts fear that H5N1 avian flu… may have been transmitted through a type of cattle feed called “poultry litter”—mix of poultry poop, spilled feed, feathers, and other waste scraped from the floors of industrial chicken and turkey production plants."
telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
Europe does not allow cattle to be fed poultry feed. US does. This helps explain why US is seeing a cow outbreak of avian flu.
3) CDC warns against chicken and bird exposures and direct contact with poop. Yet why the hell are we feeding cattle poultry litter??? Corporate farms are so stupid and greedy.

Global CO2 levels and temperatures. But but but we scientists are merely “fear mongering” according to deniers. How about just facing reality? How about precautionary warnings to protect human lives?

@ed_hawkins @MrMatthewTodd #climatecrisis Image
Oh this seems totally fine.

I think we are screwed at this point on limiting temperature rise by 1.5 C. It’ll still take a miracle to avoid 2 C.
