It's all about aerosol transmission. 😷 Covid is airborne

@TigressEllie Teachers are just collateral damage. They know the kids won't do the ( unreliable ) LFT, which is anyway just a sop so they can claim they put protective measures in place.
They are lying charlatans.

R rate go up by 0.3 in a week following the full reopening of all schools. By next week R rate will be over 1 & we will be at the start of a third wave. Thousands will die all because of the lie that 'schools are safe'

£37,000,000,000 on Test and Trace and it's still failing to do its job.

Dido Harding should be sacked.

The consultants booted out.

The failing private companies forced to repay the taxpayer.

And the NHS put in charge so it can do the job properly - as it has with the vaccine.

"I personally would not want to spend any length of time in a classroom or preschool room with lots of children who are not wearing masks... it's not safe, it's not ok"

We’re STILL knowingly sending staff & pupils into schools & nurseries w/ inadequate protection to an #airborne virus that can kill & cause debilitating long term symptoms.
We didn’t even prioritise the staff for #COVIDVaccination as a gesture of goodwill.

This should lead the news. But won’t.

⚠️HUGE INCREASE IN KIDS—New Swedish 🇸🇪 data showing a sudden dramatic surge in pediatric #COVID19 cases across Sweden since Jan.

Kids age 0-9: Up ⬆️ 123%
Kids age 10-19: Up ⬆️ 72%

Likely due to surging #B117 variant, where it’s now 50% in Stockholm.🧵

Two royal stories in @bbcnews headlines. Nothing about a Prime Minister found in court to have misled Parliament. Weird.

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Government says "affordability" is the key when it comes to health service pay, knowing they are a workforce who will mostly do the job whatever the pay rise. Was money no object with private sector PPE contracts because they were motivated by profit, not service?

UK most likely place in world for Covid-19 mutant strain - health minister warns https://t.co/b9RhQBTqa8 Why are we not Pausing Schools Reopening or at least Staggering them like #Sage Wanted. We don't know how many infections now contain E484K Mutation. @UKActionteam

Which is the political party of the NHS right now?

Because from where I’m standing, none of them are lobbying hard enough for NHS staff and patients.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

Have I missed the bit where the Chancellor announced a pay rise for health and social care workers? I suppose last year's clapping will have to pay this year's bills.

2/ The other relates to communication during the 6 HR PRIMARY SCHOOL DAY!
From 3pm - bedtime they can see faces.
All weekend they can see faces.
I just don’t understand why those at @PHE_uk are continuing to ignore #aerosoltransmission & putting lives at risk.

I’m pleased that all this world class UK surveillance expertise is going into tracing the carrier of a single Brazilian variant, but puzzled that we didn’t do this at the very start of the pandemic when there were many possible patient zeros left free to roam. Or is this unfair?
