1-Don’t get me wrong, I’m v pleased that @UKParliament are now taking #COVID seriously & doing SOME of the simple things we know ⬇️ transmission.

#Masks #SocialDistancing #WorkFromHome

Assuming everyone working on the estate is >18, the vast majority will be doubly vaccinated.

2-So tell me, why are pupils (largely unvaccinated), education staff & families of both not afforded such protections?
I searched the #DfE website HOPING for advice on 😷s, social distancing, options for CV/CEV pupils & staff to work/learn from home, ventilation?

3- But NOTHING, just👇🏼from @nadhimzahawi in the last few days re LFTs, NO MENTION of any other mitigations at all.

#COVIDVaccination has only just begun in the 12-15s, so what are CV/CEV pupils, staff & those with CV/CEV family members to do?

Maybe the @UKHSA can help….?

4 - Ah…no….the only real mention of schools is from Dr Jenny “the UK is an exemplar of pandemic preparedness” Harries….on yes….you guessed it ….LATERAL FLOW TESTS!

5 - The @UKHSA is sticking firmly to its “convivial fraternal spirit” guns, that you can only catch #COVID from “people you don’t normally meet”!

Obvs 🙄that public health gem didn’t work quite so well this week. And “😷s are so uncomfortable!”

@GillianKeegan @Jacob_Rees_Mogg

6 - I hopped over to @GOVUK to check out advice for workplaces, surely w/ current v concerning “figures”, the safety of ALL workers in ALL workplaces will be paramount?

NO, it seems that only @UKParliament staff are of value….if you’re CEV, congratulations🎉, you’ve been cured!

7 - When it suits the @conservatives agenda, they claim it’s the number of hospitalisations & deaths that count, not the cases.

But when they want US to keep working, going to school, shopping & using hospitality venues, it’s, blinkers on, “nothing to see here”!

8 - NHS staff/health leaders/unions have begged & pleaded for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿to move #PlanB, not only to protect lives from #COVID & #LongCovid but also to ⬇️ the amount of non-Covid morbidity & mortality that is occurring RIGHT NOW because the service is completely overwhelmed.
#NHSCrisis

9 - So I ask you, if this is not a #HerdImmunityByInfection policy of #DeliberateMassInfection amongst ordinary people, then I don’t know what is!

If 😷s, social distancing & working from home are good enough for #Westminster TODAY, we need them to be available for EVERYBODY!
