#DeltaVariant is ripping through schools.

From 16th Aug - 2nd Sept inclusive: ๐Ÿ’ฅ26,836 cases age 0-19๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐Ÿ’”~1% will be hospitalised (268)
๐Ÿ’”~14% will be #LongCovidKids (3757)
๐Ÿ’”~0.01% - 0.03% will die (2 - 8) ๐Ÿ˜ข

#LongCovid #COVID #BackToSchool
Some schools in ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ have already been forced to close due to staff absence from #COVID19

Some classes are are half empty as children continue to pass #DeltaVariant between one another.

๐Ÿ›‘On 16th Aug ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ recorded 477 new child cases
๐Ÿ›‘On 2nd Sept ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ recorded 2596 new child cases
Local Authorities and @scotgov continue to reassure us that children are not transmitting #Covid19 in schools.

Apparently school pick up/drop off is the culprit.

Do we think that is true? Does #DeltaVariant have such high intelligence that it refuses to enter school buildings?
With 5 more week of term to go, how many more kids will have to suffer until we do something?

How many teachers?

How many will develop #LongCovid and potentially suffer a lifetime of disability?

#DeltaVariant #BackToSchool #COVID #MakeSchoolsSafe #MaskUp #ScotEdu #TeachersDay
Many Local Authorities failed to #MakeSchoolsSafe

๐Ÿ‘ŽInadequate ventilation
๐Ÿ‘ŽLack of CO2 monitors
๐Ÿ‘ŽWindows that don't open

We intend to repeat the FOI process in Oct to monitor the progress of risk mitigations implemented in schools.
#LongCovidKids

โ€œWe are no longer seeking to suppress Covid to the lowest possible level. Now we have vaccinations, the restrictions required to suppress Covid could not be justified" @JohnSwinney

Kids are not eligible for #Vaccination. How are they to be protected?

Brilliant easy to read article ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

TL;DR
๐Ÿ‘‰~14% of people who catch covid-19 end up with lasting symptoms: ~25 million people worldwide.
๐Ÿ‘‰Could be big underestimate - less than 10% of infections detected - true figure could be nearer 250 million.

sciencedirect.com/science/articlโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ‘‰No universally agreed definition.
๐Ÿ‘‰NIHR divide #LongCovid into 4 groups: those with after-effects of ventilation; those with organ damage caused by #SARSCoV2; those with post-viral fatigue syndrome; miscellaneous group that the authors call those with long-term covid syndrome.
๐Ÿ‘‰One puzzling feature: those most prone to long covid aren't those most likely to get sick from the initial infection.
๐Ÿ‘‰women 30% more likely to get it than men
๐Ÿ‘‰35 to 69-year-olds are the age group most often affected (ONS)
๐Ÿ‘‰WHO working to agree a clinical case definition.

Several children in our group have had a diagnosis #PANS triggered by Covid infection.

๐Ÿ’™PANS = Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome๐Ÿ’™

A sudden onset of:
๐Ÿ‘‰ OCD symptoms and/or severe eating restrictions
๐Ÿ‘‰ Cognitive, behavioural, neurological symptoms (at least 2)
๐Ÿ˜ข"Itโ€™s like my child woke up as a
completely different person!"๐Ÿ˜ข

#PANS kids display a dramatic personality
change, some #OCD, tics or issues with
food, together with a number of other symptoms
usually following some kind of infection.

panspandasuk.org
In very young children, #OCD can display as intense anxiety or fears.

Symptoms can be extremely alarming:
๐Ÿ‘‰Anxiety/depressive moods
๐Ÿ‘‰Aggression and/or irritability
๐Ÿ‘‰Severely oppositional behaviour/regression
๐Ÿ‘‰Sensory & motor abnormalities
๐Ÿ‘‰Hallucinations and/or psychosis
