Break down systems, prioritize kids to their fullest potential.

Exercise can affect your unborn children's genes by altering the chemistry of DNA in sperm and egg cells.

Aerobic exercise for 3 months altered sperm DNA by silencing genes linked to the risk of autism, OCD, Alzheimer’s, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis.

Like barring parents from entering schools, making kids have “no talking” lunches or eating lunch in the classroom instead of the cafeteria, limiting extracurricular activities or canceling field trips.

Certainly, these policies do not contribute to risk reduction at this point.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, the United States lost nearly 3,000 people in the single deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history. On the 20th anniversary, we remember those we lost that day, and the friends and families left behind. #WeRemember911

Underreported tragedies... I wonder if @VDHgov should add this tab to their Covid school dashboard? Seems every public health expert is recommending consideration of ALL the risks/benefits related to closed schools.

‘Evidence is growing’?

We’ve known both - that we can make schools safe and that there are devastating consequences of keeping them closed - since early summer.
