Parents & educators should be getting angry with #bced #bcpoli & @CDCofBC for not protecting schoolchildren & educators during #Covid #Influenza #RSV They had 3 yrs to get it right. Ty @OhCasavant @kyenta_m @VanDPAC

What happened this fall in BC should be proof enough that more needs to be done for schools to become safe learning spaces.

To be clear, BC schools have never been safe during the #COVID19 pandemic.

Is BC PH going to once again "closely watch" and do nothing when #COVID cases start rising in schools? #XBB15

Question: If BC PH won't protect the health of schoolchildren and educators, what will school boards do?

Answer: @VSB39 "the board rejected the parents’ offer, taking the position the do-it-yourself air purifiers would provide little benefit when it comes to virus transmission."

Air purifiers in classrooms are effective at cleaning the air. They decrease the concentration of aerosol particles containing virus-RNA & the inhaled dose of virus-RNA. Listen to Professor MacIntyre @Globalbiosec H/T @marialavis
