LAUSD’s insane Covid testing plan got me so riled up, I had to write about it. It’s going to be a disaster if they don’t reverse course.

I will add my sources to the thread for anyone who wants to look up the numbers themselves or to follow them as this train week proceeds.

CDPH Testing Data (newest data does change): data.chhs.ca.gov/dataset/covid-…
LAUSD school board agenda (test pricing):
laschoolboard.org/sites/default/…
LAUSD Covid testing FAQ: achieve.lausd.net/covidfaq
LA Times reporting on testing plan as well as spring attendance:

This article was included in an embedded tweet, but here it is separately. It covers surveillance testing programs not being worth it. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
While not a primary source, LA Public Heath data was used to help validate CDPH downloaded data: publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavi…
While I’m not aware of mandatory testing anywhere near this scale anywhere else in the state, free testing will be provided and encouraged at campuses across the state. That will cause and additional strain on CA’s testing system at the same time LAUSD’s testing picks up.

#Breaking Photos posted to Instagram reveal Gavin Newsom’s 10 year old son w/ other kids maskless, indoors & not distancing at a basketball summer camp, even while spectating.

This is in clear violation of his own mask mandates. Why can his kid be maskless, but not ours?

1/
The photos were removed from the summer camp’s Instagram account once Newsom’s son was identified, but there is plenty of screenshots and video out there. We have some.

The Instagram post occurs as Newsom pushes for increased vaccine rates if we ever want to be rid of masks.

2/
I’m still debating what and how much I post of the pictures. Once decided, they will be the next post in this thread.

The governor keeps affirming that in-person education is not a given this Fall. This is not OK!

Will Capitol or education reporters press @GavinNewsom on this?

Just discovered a 2018 @CDCgov report regarding children and brain injuries & some @biaamerica statistics.

From this, I'm absolutely convinced WE MUST MANDATE ALL KIDS 3-17 WEAR HELMETS AT ALL TIMES (exceptions noted later).

First, the cold hard facts...

1/10
The Brain Injury Association reports that:

-Brain injury is the leading cause of disability & death for <18 in U.S.
-For <14, brain injury results in an estimated 2,685 deaths, 37,000 hospitalizations per year.

That's over 10X Covid deaths!

CDC report goes into more detail. TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) are:

-Sexist
-Ageist
-Racist
-Classist

This screenshot is a summary, but let's look at each of these in detail.

You know, mask choice is a much easier solution.🧵

Yes, our mask mandate next school year is the most stringent.
Interesting quote from Newsom here.

Newly released video of a @SanMarcosUSD HS teacher going off on students and their parents over distance learning and other issues. Originally posted to FB. Apparently this is a common occurrence.
Attorney for @SanMarcosUSD argued Thurs in court the district was negotiating to expand in-person instruction. Instead, union & district agreed to not change, enforcing 6 ft spacing limiting in-person time. CDC & CDPH allow 3 ft. On Fri, union posts members celebrating at 0 ft.
This same teacher is celebrating the half-baked hybrid plan as providing “small class instruction.” Is that the end game? Cut educational minutes to a fraction of what they were before in the name of “smaller class sizes?”

BATTLE LINES HAVE BEEN DRAWN!

@UTLAnow announces they will be bargaining for hybrid for Fall 2021.

It appears they'll be negotiating for more money amongst other things. Be prepared for another standoff this summer with our kids as hostages.
Also, @UTLAnow suddenly doesn't trust the CDC. "The CDC revised guidance of only needing 3 ft. of space was rash and based on a flawed study."

Let's be real, this standoff was never really about safety or science.
Also, @UTLAnow and @NEAToday are trying to cancel accountably of their failed distance learning polices.
