Over the last few days I have faced some criticism for my Air Filters for #Somerset Schools campaign👇🏻 Please donate! 🙏🏻

One such criticism is that I should be raising money for more school resources as that’s a bigger priority (a🧵)
1/ gofund.me/3691a0c0

My response to this? Imagine a school didn’t have any fire extinguishers or fire alarms. It had them last year (and the year before), but it got rid of them this year because all the adults are fire-safety trained now anyway
2/

Now imagine there’s a fire. It’s only small, but it’s coming our way. Someone notices, and says we should probably get some fire blankets and extinguishers back in the classroom as a precaution

“No”, someone cries, “you shouldn’t do that until teachers are better paid.”

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

At present, schools in 🇬🇧 follow guidance from this manual👇🏻
1/

The guidance now lumps #Covid with flu, and states that respiratory infections spread during the winter months (of course)👇🏻
2/

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+

@MikeHewitson1

📢 Do you want to make a real difference this winter? The next few months are going to be difficult for many in #Coker

So, to help residents get the help they might need, Cllrs @MikeHewitson1, @NicolaClarkLD & I have published a leaflet full of useful information 🧵 1/

@cab_south

From @cab_south to @Somerset_CF - we've pulled together the direct contact details of a range of local agencies, charities, and councils

@SomersetLibDems

In July, @SomersetLibDems declared a #costofliving emergency. We did this in recognition of the financial pressures facing households right across the county

Now we want to make sure every house in #Coker gets one of these leaflets. Will you help us make it happen? 3/

@PeteUK7

Today, I took delivery of @PeteUK7’s DIY air filter parts. I made a cup of tea and in 2 hours I’d constructed a highly effective air purifier at a cost of ~£160. An off the shelf comparator costs £400+

@CleanAirClassrm

There is plenty of data out there re: the effectiveness of the #CorsiRosenthalBox. See: @CleanAirClassrm & others. Here it is at no.1 (the lowest fan speed). It’s very quiet.

I’ve done some calculations on what it would cost to get 1 of these into every school in #Somerset
2/

There are 269 state-funded schools in #Somerset. At £160ea it would cost £43,040 to get just 1 unit into every school. An additional £82,240 if you wanted to include all EYFS settings (514 of them). BUT…

The Chair permitted me to ask an urgent question under AOB:
📈What measures are in place to tackle any anticipated rise in Covid cases/school closures?

With written follow up Qs:
💉What is the child Covid vaccination rate in #Somerset & what are we doing to increase take-up?
2/

🌬️How are schools monitoring air quality and are they being given the tools to purify the air?

😷 How many children have #longcovid in #Somerset?
