It is absolutely possible to safely have in-person schools But you can't just wing it You need to 1. Vaccinate adults 2. Ventilate classrooms 3. Test folks weekly 4. Wear masks indoors If adults acted responsibly Kids could be safe in classrooms Lets not fail our kids again

What would ideal COVID Isolation guidance be? Once rapid antigen tests are cheap & ubiquitous 1. Isolate for first 5 days 2. Then test daily 3. Negative X 2 days? End isolation. Good to go 4. Positive? Remain in isolation until 2 negs or 10 days I think its that simple

Sick School Air is Unfair. Kids returned to classrooms alongside a whole new way to get sick. The solution to US K-12 absenteeism is not to blame families or send kids to school sick; we must #DemandCleanAir Visit iaqadvocates.org/demandclean… for details.

By the way, for everyone agonizing over this: Here in Massachusetts, breakfast & lunch (and at many schools, an afternoon snack) is FREE FOR ALL CHILDREN from pre-school through high school. Our school system is rated #1 in the country. There is no “down side” to feeding kids.
Catherine E. Cullen@catherineecull122 Dec 2023
I’m a (ahem!) mature woman— & I have no biological or adopted children or grandchildren — but I want everyone to know that I’d LOVE my taxes to feed each & every child 2 meals a day, year round, preschool through 12th grade, regardless of their family’s financial status.

For the Winter Solstice today, an ancient Celtic melody now known as The Breton Carol. I learned this tune from the late great Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains and I've always thought it captured the magic of the darkest day of the year. Happy Solstice from the west of Ireland

As many scientists are considering conferences for next year, *please* ask the conference organizers for COVID-safe practices. Anyone can be severely impacted by COVID infection. Conference organizers can’t/won’t make changes unless speakers and attendees demand it. (1/3)

GRC has no real COVID safe policy, as stated on their website grc.org. Other conference orgs are the same. “Business as usual” with little regard for attendee health and safety. A pre-arrival testing requirement would go a long way, hint hint. (2/3)

Even if you feel that COVID is not a problem for you, it is a problem for others. People are opting out of attending or risking their health out of pressure to attend. (3/3)

This should apply to children in schools, every day.

Improving ventilation can help reduce the risk of #COVID19 spreading at your holiday gatherings. You can keep windows open, use exhaust fans, and use air purifiers. A breath of fresh air for a safer celebration. Find more tips here: bit.ly/35wITyg

Well folks, it's finally here! Novavax XBB has EUA approval in the USA for everyone 12 and older, regardless of previous vaccine used. Reaching this point has been the product of many volunteer hours organizing around Novavax. And at one time, it was almost canceled. 🧵
