Optimize filtration material:
☑️Surgical masks are good
Look for ASTM-rated
✅Respirators are best
Look for standardized filters:
Canadian - 95PFE
South Korean- KF94
Chinese - KN95

You won’t find a NIOSH certified “N95” for children.
NIOSH only regulates products for adults.

2/ Son is due to start year six on Monday at a state primary school in Brisbane. We've had a close look at the QLD govt’s Back to School plan and talked to the principal about how it will be implemented.

The plan has 7 major failings. . .

The thread from April👇🏼 is especially relevant as 🏴schools reopen w/ almost ZERO MITIGATIONs to ⬇️#coronavirus transmission/protect people.
Sept 1st 21 -“numbers” many English ppl have become immune to, a stark reminder of a @Conservatives brutal #LivingWithCovid “policy”.

Almost 36,000 new cases.
842 hospital admissions.
207 deaths.
That is roughly 37,000 individuals/families affected by #COVID, yesterday alone!
And potentially 3,600 more cases of #LongCovid to boot!
This is what #LivingWithCovid looks like folks!

And by pure coincidence this is what a lazy, ignorant, selfish, cruel & greedy “strategy” against a global pandemic looks like too.
It is NO ACCIDENT!
This is the purest form of #SurvivalOfTheFittest, a plan so grotesque I didn’t think it possible in modern Britain.

Good afternoon @RishiSunak & @BorisJohnson
Claims that “we can’t control the spread of the virus.The virus is doing what’s doing….”, that we must learn to “live w/ #COVID” & exert “personal responsibility” are incorrect, disingenuous & dangerous!

What you actually mean is that YOU (& your government) have deliberately CHOSEN to prioritise the ECONOMY over the HEALTH & WELLBEING of the British ppl…..but are dishonestly & patronisingly pretending there is no other option?

W/ easy access to scientists & public health experts, anyone used to researching, looking for & assessing evidence, can find plentiful, accessible information on how to reduce #coronavirus transmission!
For highly educated ppl like yourselves, it would be an absolute doddle!

Morning @GavinWilliamson @NickGibbUK & @halfon4harlowMP - if you could put the Latin books down for a mo, there are millions of teachers, parents & secondary school pupils who’d be very interested in some answers.

Sadly, I suspect you won’t have any!
My guess is that you neither know or care how opening 🏴schools up in Sept WITHOUT ANY MITIGATIONS for an #Airborne 🦠will affect the HUMANS forced each day to study/work INSIDE the schools, especially those who’re unvaccinated or CV/CEV.

But as a Dr could I ask..
1)How many children w/ CHRONIC DEBILITATING SYMPTOMS will worry you?
2)How many VERY SICK children is too many?
3)How many SICK STAFF will stop schools functioning?
4)How you will know the number of CV/CEV children who’ve been vaccinated by Sept?

My reaction to the news today? Well, *of course* Saj would have Covid two days before the VC Day celebrations! Of course he bloody would. This is the UK, after all, where the pandemic is permanently mired in irony as well as ineptitude. Let’s take stock as 19 Jul approaches. 1/20
2/20 Only in the UK would we be hitting 50k+ Delta cases a day and climbing, while telling kids they can go clubbing again and pub-goers that they can prop up bars.
3/20 Only in the UK would the Chief Medical Officer publicly back the opening, but then tell people to be careful. And then suggest that we might only have a five-week window before we lockdown again. (Make the most of it, folks!)
Partial good news out of @CDCgov today. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
Recognition that fomites are a minor route, and stop the #hygienetheatre . Also good, and pathbreaking that they cite #QMRA studies in support. 1/N

Interesting that they use a 1/10,000 from a surface contact as being indicative of low risk from fomites (many of us have seen that number before). But, still some problems in this updated science brief. 2/N
Opening sentence: "The principal mode by which people are infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) is through exposure to respiratory droplets carrying infectious virus." While they don't use the word #aerosol in the body 3/N
The fallacy of #fomites.
There has been a lot of attention devoted to the potential transmission of #COVID19 by fomites, a lot of money and time spent on "sanitizing" surfaces, and on marketing various chemicals, treatments, etc. 1/N

While generically, cleanliness is good, I am convinced that the vast amount of these efforts when targeted at #COVID19 are misguided and represent more #hygienetheatre than true prevention. 2/N
First, I have yet to see any reports of transmission that convincingly demonstrate a fomite route (as opposed to a couple of cases reports that allege this as a diagnosis of exclusison, while failing to consider more plausible routes such as aerosols). 3/N
My eyes are tired from side eyeing and eyerolling at the blatant gaslighting of teachers, the weaponizing of parents against teachers, comparison of nurses vs teachers, and all the lies folk are telling themselves with #hygienetheatre #wewontdieforDOE
I have to ask why these pinterest teachers are spending their own money to make pandemic education look cute, while still placing kids next to each other, in schools where masks are not required. Is it for likes? Why add more surfaces to clean? Can we stop gaslighting ourselves!
Lets talk about the mold, lead in water, PCBs. Lets talk about 100 year old buildings with out of date HVAC systems. Lets stop trying to put lipstick on a pig. Our schools have been crumbling for years. EdDeform made social distancing more difficult. Break this down.
The absolute disrespect toward custodians in NYCDOE.... damn
Not enough supplies, not enough manpower, not enough hours. An entire school system reopening rests on their shoulders and they are gagged from talking to the press about the #hygienetheatre they are forced to participate in. Will they be demonized when we have an outbreak?
But can we talk about the #hygienetheatre tho? Custodians dressed up with ghostbuster backpack, fueled with coffee going through the building like the energizer bunny trying to cover every room before the shift ends...
