@SolidEvidence Just a lot of flu going around. A lot of kids at school have been sick. They have had runny noses, coughs, and some had upset stomachs.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@DalalSci To give them experience. I worked in a lab as an undergraduate. I got invaluable experience that I took with me to graduate school. As a grad student and a post doc I worked with undergrads, teaching them new skills.

@NohaAboelataMD @Mielgray My child never had fever the last time he had Covid.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@ashishkjha Nope. People won’t mask, people won’t test/test inaccurately/can’t afford good testing, and employers won’t give time off from work. Use your influence to encourage our president to make federal sick leave a policy.

@ENirenberg Ochem for Chem/Biochem majors. All I remember is the prof saying protons are like Pennies at the gas station. Loved PChem, it was easy.

@luckytran Post Super Bowl spike, in combination with the maybe 1 day/no day isolation rule that isn’t a rule yet nationwide, but is in California.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@SolidEvidence With California’s new isolation policy (or lack there of) do you think it will still decline?

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@bluesawadeshoes @MamaWeasleyy Whale watching.

@NohaAboelataMD It is butts in seats. Butts in seats = $$ in the education world.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@NohaAboelataMD But that’s the thing. It’s a recommendation not a requirement. And for kids that remove masks to eat or drink then it’s really messed up.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@hanes_joel @luckytran This is exactly why. No ADA, no money. And this is the plan to make up for educational budget cuts.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@KTLA No.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@drseanmullen But what about Strive for less than five absences. 🤦🏻���♀️ But miss it’s just allergies. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@MamaWeasleyy The scavenger hunt is awful, plus privatizing it to health insurance slowed it down too. If I was able to get my kid the new vaccine maybe he could’ve avoided getting covid, again.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@MamaWeasleyy Stopped masking w/o telling us, caught Covid, back to masking.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@NateB_Panic Reasons - they’re hard to find, and people have had Covid recently so they’re waiting.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@MamaWeasleyy Minimum 3 months. She has natural immunity from the dominant strains now, but this will wane over time.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@JeromeAdamsMD California has had free breakfast and lunch for students for a couple years now. Worked out well for my son a week or so ago when he forgot his lunch in my car.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@alexmeshkin Our roads are completely flooded. Schools and several businesses are closed tomorrow.

[Melodie Hall @DrMhall]

@ProdigyGame I teach science in a Title 1 school. Over 90% of my students receive free lunches. Any little bit from my list will help my students tremendously. I’ve been at my school for 12 years and have always purchased these little extras myself.
