1/ Thoughts on the emergency #bced COVID-19 briefing, called by #DrBonnieHenry & @JM_Whiteside on Oct. 1, 2021, after 3 major districts mandated masks for K-Gr. 3…
…A thread. 🧵

2/ First, K-12 masks were mandated for #bced.
So, *now* #DrHenry & @JM_Whiteside say “we need to keep younger children from getting infected until they are vaccinated”?!
You are only realizing this NOW? With #delta dominant?
Parents & teachers knew, even before this chart. ⬇️

3/ Ventilation still not addressed.
Despite:
- crowded classes (no distancing)
- lunch indoors (no masks)
- transmissible #delta
- K-Gr.6 unvaxxed
- 2-dose breakthroughs
Will it be another month or 2 of 📈 before action?
Reminder: Ont doing better; spent 2x BC & has HEPA!🧵⬇️

Illustre Prof.ssa @sandrasavaglio,la diffusione di #COVID19 registra una drammatico cambio di passo anche in #Calabria e i contagi aumentano in modo preoccupante:gli ospedali regionali sono già in grandissimo affanno e urgono misure efficaci (1/8)

Nel contesto epidemico che sta attraversando la nostra Regione diventa estremamente delicato il tema #scuola. E' ormai accertata la trasmissione aerea di #SARSCoV2,per cui linee guida #CTS NON SONO ADEGUATE a rendere le aule scolastiche sicure (2/8)

La distanza di 1 metro tra rime buccali indicata dal #CTS, a cui è consentito togliere la mascherina,è del tutto inadeguata a mitigare il rischio di contrarre #COVID19; oltretutto in assenza di areazione ADEGUATA l'aria si satura di particelle (3/8)

"is #COVID19 airborne?"
The #1 concern among my faculty, residents & APPs…

Of note – this thread does not apply to intubation, bronch and clearly aerosol generating procedures (AGPs).

First, let's be 100% clear, we are only discussing this bc we are in a crisis, and applying “crisis standards of care.” What’s the crisis? Not a new virus.
The crisis is the #PPE shortage that many U.S. medical centers face
(due to abject failure of federal leadership).
