🚨 Covid isn’t over 🚨 A thread about schools…

At present, schools in 🇬🇧 follow guidance from this manual👇🏻
1/ Image
The guidance now lumps #Covid with flu, and states that respiratory infections spread during the winter months (of course)👇🏻
2/ Image
It says that children ***with Covid*** ‘should try and stay at home where possible’(!)

There is no longer a requirement to stay away from school if you’re Covid+
3/ Image
The guidance has plenty of hand washing posters - but no diagrams detailing how to secure good ventilation in a classroom.

That would actually be helpful…
4/ ImageImage
Why is this important? Because a staggering 93.3% of #Somerset’s 5-11 year olds, 55.3% of 12-15yos, and 40% of 16-17yos are NOT FULLY VACCINATED 🚨

And…

From Sept, only children with weakened immunity are eligible for the Covid vaccine(!)
6/ Image
This winter, we’re once again throwing a largely unvaccinated segment of society (children, no less!) under a bus & just hoping for the best

There are no excuses. We know how the 🦠 spreads. The Gov ought to have spent all summer preparing

Am I just howling into the wind?

Sat in Full Council earlier this week a Tory Councillor sagely opined - "there is no such thing as public [Government] money, there is only taxpayers’ money."

I thought it sounded familiar. They were channeling the late Margaret Thatcher!

But what does it mean? A thread 🧵
1/ A picture of Margaret Thatcher
Ask yourself one simple question - where does our money come from?

I’m afraid the answer goes a bit deeper than “from the job I do” or “from that thing I sold” - where does it *really* come from?
2/
The answer is that all of our money comes from banks - be they commercial banks or the Central Bank (the Bank of England). All the money in circulation is created by them under licence of the Central Bank.

👎🏻 Folks I have some disappointing news. The Lib Dem Federal Conference Committee has decided my right to safe air emergency motion doesn’t qualify to enter the EM ballot at Lib Dem Conference this weekend 😢
1/ The title page of the emergency motion with a red banner whi
The motion was highly commended for the quality of its drafting and content - and I’ve received really encouraging feedback, especially from the party’s Health team. However, it ultimately fell because the motion did not address an issue that had arisen unexpectedly.

🚨 IMPORTANT: this particular battle has been lost but the war isn’t over! I’m disappointed the motion won’t get a hearing at conference, but point 2 of my motion is still achievable even without it becoming party policy👇 3/ An emoji finger pointing at recommendation number 2 of my em

Could smokers hold the key to purifying the air? Bear with… Last night I had the most interesting #CleanAir chat with a pub landlord and it has sent me down quite a rabbit hole… 🐇
1/
The pub in question is the excellent Muddled Man in #WestChinnock, #Somerset 🇬🇧 They now have an air monitor and a poster. But the most interesting thing was not the air monitor - it was the discussion it started…
2/
Smoking indoors was banned in 2007, but before then many pubs and bars had ceiling-mounted air cleaners like this one👇 I’ve only had a precursory glance at the tech but the concept is sound.

1/ Today I popped along to The Shed in #Crewkerne. Allow me to introduce you to two wonderful people, Mick and Mike, who have built something quite special…

2/ Meet Mick and Mike!👇 Last year they built a wooden #CorsiRosenthalBox in collaboration with @SmartairUk. However they used a metal cage fan & some small HEPA filters, but they built the frame to accommodate @3MUK MERV13 filters. Smart Air asked if I could bring some along… A picture of Mick and Mike ...
3/ Check it out! What a great bit of kit. This is now my very last #CorsiRosenthalBox I’m giving away for FREE - and it’s a special one! My DMs are open 😊 #CleanAir #Somerset 🇬🇧 This is a series of picture...ImageImageImage

Because at a price of £174, and a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 585m3 per hour on the lowest setting… a CR Box blasts most commercial air cleaners out of the water Image

🙏🙏 Thanks to all your amazing donations (£3,512!), encouragement, and support - today I delivered my last #CorsiRosenthalBox to a family just in time for Christmas. It got me thinking about what we've achieved over the last 3 months... A monster thread🧌🧵1/24 Image
Not long after, people suggested I should set up a Go Fund Me to build more... 3/
