@MattHancock says yet again that “Schools are safe”, because children are at low risk of serious disease.
With current v high disease prevalence (maybe 1 in 20 or 30 in #London , #1in50 elsewhere) MORE children will catch #coronavirus & MORE children will become very ill. 1/8

In itself that’s not good. There are some v sick kids around the country right now & because they often present differently they may not be diagnosed so quickly. Often with gastrointestinal & joint symptoms & odd rashes. Parents & educators may not be aware of this. 2/8
Families, especially those in large multigenerational or BAME households are already at increased risk of severe #COVID19.
#Teachers & #earlyyears staff in JAN 21 STILL have virtually no #PPE. There will be many over 50s & others who are CV/CEV. This is not good. 3/8

The families of <18s are at increased risk. We know that.
I’ll keep showing this
because Gvmt keep ignoring it.
And the lack of adequate & appropriate #PPE puts all staff in these settings AND their families at increased risk.
This is not good. 4/8

So the “Schools are safe” mantra which is repeated over & over again can ONLY be based on the risk to children of severe disease VS the risk of them missing school.
NOTHING OR NO ONE ELSE.
In the midst of a deadly pandemic this is as bizarre as it is callous & ignorant. 5/8

This #CovidVariant is spreading like wildfire.
SCHOOLS ARE NOT SAFE because they’re full of ppl mixing indoors.

It is not rocket science!
Only children who HAVE to be there should be. Numbers should be very low.
Staff CAN wear
s. Children CAN wear s.6/8

In the absence of safe advice from @10DowningStreet & @educationgovuk ,school leaders, #earlyyears leaders & councils MUST put more measures in place to protect everyone involved NOW.
This is not a rehearsal, EVERY DAY of so many interactions will cause more illness & death.7/8

#COVIDisAirborne. We MUST act accordingly. Anything less would be GROSS NEGLIGENCE! End
