Thread on children, schools and Covid-19.

Based on the current research, there are two points which are worth remembering:
1. Children contract the virus at the same rate as adults.
2. The virus has, and will, spread in schools.

[Alberto Angelo @AlbertoAngelo17]

@AngeCMJ It's a cover-up.

[Alberto Angelo @AlbertoAngelo17]

@AngeCMJ Contact tracing is overwhelmed.

*Alarm bells*

Public health "can no longer cope", too overwhelmed to do "proper" contact tracing

Dr Ann Dee..says the 8 [regional public health] departments are now “throwing in the towel” & giving up on doing “proper” contact tracing."

Good afternoon parents

[Barry Hennessy 🇮🇪🇪🇺🌹 @barryhennessy]

This is what we’re dealing with and it’s high time the school management bodies joined with the teachers’ unions and looked out for their staff. #edchatie

If there's a case in your class, don't go back in. Get tested. Lie if you have to.

What does this mean for schools?

On an anecdotal level, I can understand NPHET's thinking.

Today one of our wards with 24 or so beds has become exclusively a COVID ward (and is full).

A month ago there was nobody positive on that ward.

@newschambers I'm sure Mattie McGrath is paying close attention to the internal politics of the WHO.

"Of more than 200 new regional clusters, Rousseau said about 40 per cent emerged from schools and universities, 26 per cent from workplaces and 10 per cent from private gatherings."

This makes for grim reading indeed

If hairdressers ran the health service the country would be open.

[Alberto Angelo @AlbertoAngelo17]

This country is going insane.

[Alberto Angelo @AlbertoAngelo17]

@andrewflood The "it's just the flu" crowd are a lot quieter now that their theories are about to be tested in real life.

[The Man in the Black Pyjamas @pyjamas_black]

Interesting that the same people who complained about everything and undermined the public health message now believe that "it's on us". It's 'on' the establishment, including the media class.

In Varadkar's attack on NPHET he revealed that schools would stay open under Level 5.

[Irish Examiner @irishexaminer]

.@INTOnews said it received no clarification on what protective measures apply in primary and special schools under the higher levels. #Level3

They are exhausted and we don't hear their stories. All we hear from are the stay at home columnists.

[Alberto Angelo @AlbertoAngelo17]

Very true. I spoke to one who had worked a covid ward. She spoke of people screaming for help, watching others die of the disease they have; she seemed traumatised.

[June Shannon @juneshannon]

I worry about the impact this will have on healthcare staff they are already under-resourced, understaffed, and exhausted

[Alberto Angelo @AlbertoAngelo17]

Clarity is not what we need. It's already clear that they don't care about teacher health and safety.

[INTO (Irish National Teachers' Organisation) @INTOnews]

INTO has demanded clarity on the status of schools at Level 5.

Following the NPHET recommendation that the country may need to enter Level 5 restrictions, we have called for an immediate public health review on the status of schools at this level... (1/2)
