@BlytheAwesome @Neurofourier My first order took a week. Second took 2 weeks. I think the word is out about them and it's taking longer.

@sesmith We fought this at 2 different schools I taught at. We were told OSHA didn't apply to schools when we asked to get them involved. No ventilation in the darkroom and classrooms so cold kids had to wear coats, hats, and gloves in the room.

@MdRisette @ImmunoFever Is there anything to try to prevent this in the weeks following a positive test? Compression socks or any other strategies?

[Alexis Calder @AlexisCalder1]

Yikes.

1,200 students and staff @AustinISD underwent Covid tests today…

ONE THIRD tested positive.

School starts in 2 days.

@HuffmanLabDU @sri_srikrishna What are your plans for lunch? Just hope for the best? My kid is in a mask optional school but has a good quality mask. I still can't believe there are mask optional schools but here we are... Lunch bothers me the most, though.

[Alexis Calder @AlexisCalder1]

@UomoPena What about places where masks are optional? If masks and testing are the benchmarks, why are those not being utilized/required for students?

5 Days is not enough.

BREAKING - There is NO scientific basis for a 5-day isolation period

Taiwan tracked 23 of 59 imported Omicron more than 5 days after symptom onset.

Of these, 17 did not have a low enough viral load to stop isolating until at LEAST 8 days after isolating.

One case took 12 days.

@anthonyvclark20 It can be, especially in terms of time cost. I found it impossible to keep up with time for prepping everything from scratch. If you're working long hours, finding the time to eat vegan is tough.

Hi 2022!

The challenge remains!

COVID is airborne.
COVID is not over, even if someone says it is.
Life moves on with some important mitigation strategies.

Vaccinate.
Mask up.
Ventilate indoors.
Choose outdoors.
Look out for others.
Be kind. Be kind. Be kind.

@angiecthomas Congratulations! I love mine. Enjoy!

Why are the pyramids in Egypt?

Bc they were too heavy to carry to the British museum.

[Prof Nisreen Alwan 🌻 @Dr2NisreenAlwan]

The target should not be ‘keep schools open at all costs’. It should be keep children healthy at all costs. That’s by providing them with healthy environments to learn and socialise in. Never drop your expectation on this.

@ProfTmarquise @BrilliantBlkGrl @alwaystheself Can you give a higher weighted assignment that's opinion based or very open ended? Have them review the course or share the things they enjoyed the most or what they want to learn more about. Give that assignment a ton of points.

[Alexis Calder @AlexisCalder1]

@HelenNeville12 @BrilliantBlkGrl It's nice to see empathy from so many. I just cut the final project from my class.

[Alexis Calder @AlexisCalder1]

@DataDrivenMD I've been wondering if it's been here a while and possibly responsible for rises in places like CO. Do we know if they were doing much sequencing or looking for variants?

[Alexis Calder @AlexisCalder1]

@hjelle_brian @Ldonahuehjelle I always wonder what people mean when they say they're being careful. The definition of that concept is so varied. I get the sense most people who say they are "careful" aren't careful at the same level as those who truly are.

[Alexis Calder @AlexisCalder1]

This just blew my mind.
