No school air quality & ventilation guidelines—it is so dangerous that it is “medieval” says Professor @theAliceRoberts.

        2) UK 🇬🇧 was sooooo close to #ZeroCovid - just a few weeks more - but all of that is put into jeopardy by lies by the govt and many of its advisors that misleadingly claim kids don’t/barely transmit. Schools can be safe—but only with airborne precautions and ventilation.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1365678603212648461 …

        HUGE—CDC just released NEW indoor air guidance for schools & #COVID19! Now emphasize: “Opening windows, using portable air cleaners, improving building-wide filtration are ways to increase ventilation in school or child care program.” Good, but caveats:🧵 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/ventilation.html … pic.twitter.com/0EMcoprkzR

        HIGHEST IN KIDS—newest French data this week shows #B117 is the most dominant & has the highest prevalence in kids ages 0-9. This matches data from 🇬🇧 (where B117 nearly completely dominant) showing highest #COVID19 incidence in kids. This also matches kids surge in 🇮🇹 & 🇮🇱. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/g3Pr5WGFd2

        5) I am referred to no govt mask mandates in primary schools (my quoted tweet was about kids ages 5-12). Some schools have mandates in some parts of the school—but no blanket govt mask mandate for primary schools. And that is what is shameful, on top of no ventilation guidance.

        Primary school drop-off: No distancing, at all. Parents in groups and pairs, close quarters. Kids huddled together. Not a mask in sight. My son only one in a school of 100. This is not going to go well. #schoolsreopeninguk
