Our findings shed new light on the cardiac impact of COVID-19 in paediatric age. 60% of children who recovered from asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic COVID-19 still exhibit mild subclinical systolic cardiac impairment after an average follow-up.. https://t.co/CxtpewJpkp

WHY are we allowing this to happen to our kids?

How even mild COVID-19 infection can damage your lungs

Studies are finding damage in children and the virus in lungs a year after infection, causing T-cell infiltration, scarring, and a mechanism for lung injury. 🧵1/

Happy Friday! If Covid has made you a clean air zealot like me then I’d love to hear from you. I’m campaigning for clean air - a human right. Give me a follow and I’ll follow you back. #FollowBackFriday #CleanAir #corsirosenthalbox

@TashaNelson39 We've been following this case closely. Now, to find someone to help disabled kids here in NC.

Wake County has developed calendar options that would defy the state's calendar law. But, unlike Union County, the Wake school board has never taken the step of going against the law. It instead has requested calendar flexibility. #wcpss #nced #ncpol https://t.co/O6Uz4S00Tj

Fox: "When people are in public, they should be protected...It’s an equity issue. It’s a health & safety issue. It’s a public-health & societal issue. Right now, really, the priorities are: Schools — we have a moral obligation to our kids to provide them with a safe environment."

This is big news. Hoping it'll help our push for IAQ in our schools.

[Linsey Marr linseymarr.bsky.social @linseymarr]

Hooray! "ASHRAE...today announced its commitment to support the expedited development of a national indoor air quality (IAQ) pathogen mitigation standard. The goal is to finalize the consensus-based, code enforceable standard within six months." https://t.co/BErKJw91zm

Home weather station update via the app. Can add as many additional sensors as needed. It sends notifications for specific settings, i.e. high co2. My point? IT'S NOT HARD. Step 1, schools: monitor. Then troubleshoot.

[NC Alliance for School Equity and Safety @NCASES22]

Seems pretty obvious but clearly it's not.

Improve air quality in schools! If overwhelmed pediatric hospitals doesn’t move you, do it for the economy! 💵 @FilterSchoolAir @iaqadvocates @sri_srikrishna @LAParents1

Good read on air quality as a necessity for workplaces -- and obviously applies to schools, too.

For 40 years we’ve been in the sick building era. https://t.co/Nyam4EfcZk

[NC Alliance for School Equity and Safety @NCASES22]

For those concerned with learning loss, the amount of sickness should be a big concern right now. For those who are concerned with repeated SARS COV-2 infections for our children, speak up and loud. Where are the layers of protection for our children in schools?

[NC Alliance for School Equity and Safety @NCASES22]

@MeetJess We said the exact same. 😭

[NC Alliance for School Equity and Safety @NCASES22]

@DavidElfstrom The district actually told these particular parents that these levels are not concerning and "to be expected" in a classroom at the end of the day. Per their experts. Sigh.

[NC Alliance for School Equity and Safety @NCASES22]

@DavidElfstrom We started looking at this for COVID reasons to advocate for better ventilation. Now we realize it's far worse than we expected and even meeting building code is in question. Parents of high risk kids are mostly those sending in monitors.

[NC Alliance for School Equity and Safety @NCASES22]

@DavidElfstrom The real translation to that statement is that everyone is telling them there is nothing wrong with our co2 levels and they meet NC building code, so all is well. We are keeping the pressure on!
