1. The frog is well and truly hot (see tweet 7 for an explanation).
This is the basis on which schools were reopened. Parents and school staff were told by the government and its advisers that the chances of children catching #COVID19 in school were "incredibly small." https://twitter.com/educationgovuk/status/1297509099492581377

2. The UK government has refused to implement the minimum school safety guidance issued by @WHO and many other organisations around the world. https://twitter.com/adamhamdy/status/1334257964295852036?s=20
3. Children are not immune to the effects of #COVID19
We owe it to them to keep schools open safely.
Open.
Safely.
Not just open.

4. It might be rare, but children seem to also suffer from #LongCovid and until we know more about prevalence, risk, and exactly what Long Covid is, it seems foolish not to be doing at least the minimum recommended to protect children. https://twitter.com/long_recovery/status/1337013731994128384?s=20
5. Those who have sought to downplay the risks of #COVID19 have done us all a great disservice. From closing borders to wearing masks, from earlier lockdowns to later re-openings, those who've advocated caution have been proven right time and time again.
6. The government plans to test its way out of the problem in schools. It planned to test its way out of a second wave. Testing alone is not enough. We need layers of cheese if we're to keep children, staff and families safe. https://twitter.com/MackayIM/status/1319901144836026368?s=20
7. And here is why I started this thread talking about a frog, in case anyone tries to tell you this wasn't all very predictable. https://twitter.com/adamhamdy/status/1302513539442192384?s=20
