In 2021 @CDCgov recommends ventilation to prevent #Covid & @POTUS announced the distribution of 123B in emerg relief funds to support schools. Yet, CDC’s April23 report shows <49% of Sch. Districts have implemented ventilation improvements @GoodMenProjectbit.ly/3NplwNv
Among the <49% School Districts in the U.S. that have taken action to #CleanAir, only—
😮33.9% Replaced or upgraded HVAC
😮28% Installed HEPA filters/AirCleaners
😮8.2% Installed UVGI
😮50.7% Increase airflow by opening windows & using fans
What's stopping them from doing so?
👉Healthy learning environment reduce absenteeism, improve test scores, enhance productivity @EPA
👉CO2 levels in our blood reduces the amount of O2 that reaches our brains, which can increase sleepiness/anxiety, impair cognitive function @NewsMedical bit.ly/42HCNG1
Acc. CDC’s guidance for schools & childcare programs (2021)—
Wearing a well-fitting, multi-layer mask and increasing ventilation helps reduce the likelihood of spreading disease. See page: bit.ly/3JbOw9c
Has your child’s school taken action to improve indoor air quality?
Acc. @POTUS’ Rescue Plan from @WhiteHouse statement Jan 20, 2021, $130 billion is allocated for school reopening, which incl. funds for ventilation improvements. We love to see better #AirQuality in classrooms. Our children deserve #CleanAir. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

A report from @KFF shows >1 million have lost Medicaid coverage, tho many are actually eligible. Millions more will join them. 76% lost it due to paperwork barriers. Some may not even know they are losing coverage. bit.ly/3Pedh8w
Where's the justice in this? @POTUS
Emergency repealed, @CDCgov lost power to collect data. The most vulnerable now losing health coverage. It's discriminatory to take health coverage from ppl with medical conditions in a country without a safety net, where medicine/hospital bills can cause ppl to become homeless💔
