🧵1)If my children are expected to sit in a class with kids who have COVID by the end of this month then I take it schools are also happy to remove the 48hrs at home rule for kids who've had diarrhoea or vomiting?
& must be ok for me to send the kids in with chicken pox then?

2)believe it or not those rules are so we don't risk other kids getting sick..even though diarrhoea, vomiting & chicken pox rarely cause a child to be hospitalised. This is BASIC PUBLIC HEALTH yet we're abandoning it for COVID that causes neurological issues & killed millions
3)Don't give me the "my kids have an immune system" bollocks.
If they threw up, even if they feel fine, you don't send them in for those next 48hrs for the simple reason that we don't want other kids getting ill. SO IF YOU DO THIS for COVID expect a can of worms to be opened.

Expect chaos. Expect illness. Expect absence. Expect parents to send kids in with everything.
Expect disruption.
Expect nothing better because you ACCEPTED this vile TORY BRITAIN.

5) Looks like some of you are struggling with this! So I'll break it down for you. We mitigate for chicken pox as for a few children it's severe! THIS IS WORSE than chicken pox just because you can't see spots doesn't mean nothing is going on inside!

6) At the risk of sounding like a broken record: we mitigate for sickness this isn't about "but she seems fine she can go in to school" this is about a disease that has caused 117000 children to have long COVID, 20000 who have suffered with debilitating symptoms for over a year
7)Children do get sick, they do pass it on, they do die. Not in great swathes you say? Newsflash Children aren't meant to die but if as many died this year from a product ....that product would have been BANNED not given to every child in every classroom for good measure!!
8)It's preventable! We can lower transmission, we can use vaccines, we can isolate close contacts, we can clean the air with filtration. We DON'T have to give up and accept mass disabling & death for our kids, our friends or our society!!
NONE of this is giving up FREEDOM!
NONE of this is giving up FREEDOM!
9)It's the equivalent of demanding to be able to pack nuts in your children's lunch box just because YOURS isn't allergic to them and after all only ONE kid in school will have a reaction or die!
It's a DISGRACE
4 out of a class of 30 will get long COVID.
Needless suffering

10) Masks shouldn't be controversial, they shouldn't be a taboo subject, they JUST shouldn't! because unless you're a big baby it's NOT a big deal.
NORMALISE FFP2 masks NOT death, NOT illness
BTW kids are capable too. They don't get disabled from masks or end up in hospital.👇

END🧵FYI
When I said
"if YOU do this" I'm talking about GOVERNMENT so stop with the "it's not schools rules it's governments!" WE KNOW!
some HTs are amazing, embraced science at every turn in the pandemic, others haven't & embraced only guidance! BIG difference. Speak out!!
