Perfectly stated.

@j_g_allen Do we lump young kids in with the unvaccinated group? Or is outdoor transmission different for them?

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.

It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

@j_g_allen @juliettekayyem I should have guessed you were already on it! Will reach out to you with details. Now just have to find a way to convince Gov. Baker to get teachers vaccinated to boost everyone’s comfort level...

[Brie @brienne415]

@juliettekayyem @NYTmag Agree completely. Can you make @MassGovernor understand this somehow??

[Brie @brienne415]

@VPrasadMDMPH I’m a teacher and couldn’t agree with you more. Many school districts argue that they can’t fully reopen because they don’t have the space to maintain 6 feet of distance between students. Do you feel that’s essential, or is 3 feet sufficient?

[Brie @brienne415]

This is a very valuable read. I so appreciate voices of science-backed reason right now.

[Brie @brienne415]

@BlueBunnyBooks Yes! We are loving it. Thank you so much!

[Brie @brienne415]

@angewestlake @peterhreynolds Same here :(

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Spread that we’re seeing around schools hasn’t generally been from the academic setting. If we want our kids to continue with in-person classes, we need to skip after-school social events and other nonessential activities.

VOTE!

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Haven't voted yet?

Wondering if it's safe to vote in person?

Yes it is

Want to maximize safety?

Read sample ballot prior. Plan how you'll vote

Wear mask

Dress for outside weather

Distance in line, inside

Go in, fill out ballot, leave

Can be safer than grocery store trip

@JuliaLMarcus Julia, my town in metro west MA hasn’t opened playgrounds even though every other town in the area has. Can I get you to talk some sense into the town administrator??

[Letters of Note @LettersOfNote]

On this day in 1899, E. B. White was born. He was, in my opinion, the greatest letter writer.

How can a visit to the Teddy Bear Hospital help young children understand illness, hospital care and procedures?

@kelseygraber tells us more about the power of play (and a favourite teddy!) in making sense of medical care:

I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.

I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)
