⚠️”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. 

covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
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….

Plastic cookware should not be used. Period. Especially BLACK PLASTIC cookware, that often mixes in toxic recycled electronic waste materials. DISPOSE OF ALL PLASTIC COOKWARE, especially if black colored plastic ones. Pass it on to your family.

2) Because optical sensors in recycling facilities can’t detect them, black-colored plastics are largely rejected from domestic-waste streams, resulting in a shortage of black base material for recycled plastic. So the demand for black plastic appears to be met “in no insignificant part” via recycled e-waste, according to Turner’s research. TV and computer casings, like the majority of the world’s plastic waste, tend to be recycled in informal waste economies with few regulations and end up remolded into consumer products, including ones, such as spatulas and slotted spoons, that come into contact with food.
3) You simply do not want flame retardants anywhere near your stir-fry. Flame retardants are typically not bound to the polymers to which they are added, making them a particular flight risk: They dislodge easily and make their way into the surrounding environment. And, indeed, another paper from 2018 found that flame retardants in black kitchen utensils readily migrate into hot cooking oil. The health concerns associated with those chemicals are well established: Some flame retardants are endocrine disruptors, which can interfere with the body’s hormonal system, and scientific literature suggests that they may be associated with a range of ailments, including thyroid disease, diabetes, and cancer. People with the highest blood levels of PBDEs, a class of flame retardants found in black plastic, had about a 300 percent increase in their risk of dying from cancer compared with people who had the lowest levels, according to a study released this year. In a separate study, published in a peer-reviewed journal this month, researchers from the advocacy group Toxic-Free Future and from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that, out of all of the consumer products they tested, kitchen utensils had some of the highest levels of flame retardants.

⚠️MASK MANDATE RETURNING TO ALL NIH PATIENT CLINICS—Effective November 4, 2024, masking will be required in all patient care & waiting rooms. Furthermore, testing for COVID, flu A, flu B, and RSV will be required for all inpatients & rooming-in visitors.
cc.nih.gov/patient-servic…Image

2) This means wearing a mask will be REQUIRED in all patient care areas, including waiting rooms. ➡️This change is due to an anticipated increase in COVID-19 and other respiratory virus activity in the community. 😷
3) I think people should stock up on COVID tests again. The Cheapest COVID test on the U.S. market is now as low as $1.50 with special promo code “COV20”… expiring Jan or March 2025.
