I received this text from our school district yesterday…& decided to reply!
/1 Image
“Thanks for the reminder. Please make sure my child’s classrooms are ready for the first day of school by having good ventilation 🪟, adequate filtration (HEPA), CO2 monitors for teachers, encouraging masking, testing, staying home when sick, & educating families…”/2 Image
“…to reduce the risk of of COVID-I9 infection in school, at home & in our community.”

“These mitigations are important because currently available COV1D-19 vaccines don’t fully prevent infection, transmission, & reinfection, the virus can affect every organ system…”/3 Image
“…in the body, weaken the immune system, lower IQ, lead to LongCOVID even after a mild infection, & there are no treatments available.”

The long term damage happening to children's 🧠🫀🫁, etc…while
confined inside poorly mitigated classrooms 30+ hrs/week…” /4 Image
“…1,000+hrs/yr, is not yet fully understood.

Precautionary principle is key!
Preventing harm is prudent!
Protecting all children is essential!

You have two weeks!”✌️ /5 Image
I’m not expecting a reply…but it felt good to send it! 💪😷 /6

“…take proper precautions to keep yourself from being infected…Don't listen to those politicians & such who have tried to politicize the heck out of proven infectious disease control measures. For example, N95 respirators…”😷
🧵/1 Image
2/“…N95 respirators are designed to block small particles like viruses. Wearing such face masks can effectively cut down respiratory virus transmission as long as the masks fit and are worn properly.”😷 Image
3/“Another useful measure…good ventilation w/ clean air. Remember…in 2020 when there was a push to install more air purifiers in indoor locations to cut down on SARS-CoV-2 transmission? Well…society often has the memory of a goldfish when it comes to such things.”

“When people see me in a mask, they’re reminded of the acute phase of the pandemic. My presence confronts them with an uncomfortable truth: their refusal to mask contributes to the deaths & disabling of others. It reveals they may not be as caring as they like to think.”🎯 🧵/1 Image
“If we continue as we are, everyone will eventually develop #LongCovid. Those who still mask are only delaying the inevitable because we’re so outnumbered.” /2
“I know people who’ve lost friendships & family connections over masking. Others restrict their contact with loved ones to stay safe. Some have even been lied to by family members about masking.
And all because people must have brunch.” /3

“Denial is a powerful, usually unconscious defense mechanism that shields individuals from uncomfortable or distressing realities. By repressing objective facts or experiences— especially those that provoke fear or anxiety— people can maintain a sense of stability…”🧵/1 Image
“Historically, denial was vital to daily life. With little protection against illnesses like smallpox, tuberculosis or plague, people would have been immobilized by fear if not for the ability to repress reality.”/2
Image
Image
“When individual denial scales up to the collective level, it fuels…inaction & worsens public health crises. Throughout modern medical history, Americans have repeatedly underestimated or dismissed emerging health threats until…consequences became impossible to ignore.” /3 Image

Can @UFT explain why COVID-19 is not on this list of 27 “diseases & ailments you may encounter as a public school educator” while 1.2 million people in the U.S. are getting infected daily?

Was this accidental or intentional?

Teachers, students & families deserve to know!🤷‍♀️/1
Image
Image
Because…

Teachers deserve to be informed & protected at work!

Students deserve to be protected at school.

Families, friends, neighbors & strangers who they interact with deserve to be protected too.

None of them deserve to be harmed! /2 Image
Students @NYCSchools rely on teachers to keep them safe from C-19, the airborne pathogen that continues to mutate, infect, & fuel a pandemic, while confined indoors 30+hrs/wk. Educating teachers on long-term harms & prevention keeps EVERYONE safer! /3

“During the pandemic, masks became a symbol of divisiveness, enraging sectors of our society who thought mask mandates took away personal freedoms. The freedom to get sick & infect others, I suppose.”

“I'm sick of getting sick on planes.

I got another case of COVID-19 last month, on a domestic flight, sitting near a woman who was sneezing. I wore an N95 mask but she was wearing only the loose surgical type. I suspect she knew she was infectious.” /2
“There was nothing I could do about it. There were no seats to move into and, besides, to do so seemed a bit hysterical at the time.

Two days later - bingo. I wasn't very ill, but I was visiting immune compromised people and I put them at risk.” /3 Image

“We are completely under-investigating this virus,” said Douglas C. Wallace, a University of Pennsylvania geneticist & evolutionary biologist. “The effects of repeatedly getting this throughout our lives is going to be much more significant than people are thinking.”🎯/1 Image
“…a University of Colorado team is studying whether covid reawakens dormant cancer cells in mice. Their provocative findings…showed that when mice that were cancer survivors were infected with SARS-CoV-2, dormant cancer cells proliferated in the lungs.”😳/2 Image
“Mitigating risk of infection may be of particular importance for cancer patients. Based on the study’s findings, measures adopted by vulnerable patients…in the early days of the pandemic, wearing masks, avoiding crowded places, getting vaccines, become even more important.”🎯/3 Image
