UK has embraced the Tegnell/ GBD plan

Omicron hospitalisations? UKMSA paediatrician retweets disinformation account 
Data emerging on diabetes, some studies better than others, but certainly something that deserves further investigating

Nope ignore it, let's rely on what Hoeg says

Hoeg also worked with a member of antivax group Rational Ground to produce that awful VAER study that massively exaggerated myocarditis and has caused untold trouble, so why is Ladhani referring to her?

Schools in my area, as usual it takes a week or two after a break for cases to build, unprotected primaries hit first.
Secondaries with several members off on average, none able to return after 5 days, some taking longer than 10 days

End of this week staff cases now picking up, struggling to staff lessons on Monday, primaries hitting the wall and closing year groups, means secondaries lose more staff to care for younger children
What about students?
One schools sixth form almost entirely wiped out in a week, moved to remote learning
3-8 students off with covid on all my registers this week, many students aren't recovering quickly so missing more time off school, struggling when they return

Real Btech exams a total mess with lots missing these formal exams which go towards their grades, extra retakes or TAGS to come
How does this help student wellbeing?
How does this help student wellbeing?
Long covid is really damaging learning, have some long haulers from last year but seeing more developing Long covid since September, attendance rates for students who used to be in every day has substantially dropped, when in they struggle to make it through the day
And then homework is very difficult for them, particularly GCSE and A level students who are expected to do a couple of hours a night
They have no energy for social lives, even a bit of online gaming, so sense of missing out and also that they have no idea when this will end

Is also further impacting their wellbeing. I know this is really inconvenient for adults who think schools just need to get back to normal, try putting yourself in the shoes of kids who are wondering if they personally will ever get back to being normal
Think of their concern for their education, their concerns for how they are going to catch up in time for exams
This is so much more damaging than masks and air filters

Sames happening with staff consistency is key to education, and with high levels of transmission we just can't provide the consistency children deserve
I just wish @nadhimzahawi, @halfon4harlowMP and @lensiseethrough could understand this

I guess this is the price of freedom, if it was really about the kids they'd be asking what are they willing to sacrifice to get transmission rates down to protect education
But even wearing a mask is too much apparently
