#EdTwitter #EduTwitter is talking about oracy right now.

The experts on oracy are my children.

And stop calling it 'oracy' - it would make Coleridge cringe.

Avoid hospitals and GP practices unless your visit is essential and wear a tight-fitted filter mask (FFP2 or FFP3) or respirator all the time if you have to go there. Ironically, the places that are meant to be the safest for your health are actually the most dangerous.

Remember, Covid is airborne. An infected person in an unventilated place creates a large invisible cloud of virus which hangs in the air like smoke, ready for you to breathe in. Unless you wear a respiratory filter mask, you have a high risk of catching Covid.

The Government is ruthlessly suppressing Covid-19 data. The flagship ONS/UKHSA Winter Infection Survey was abruptly stopped on 14 March, and a number of other Covid-related studies and surveys ended on 31 March. This can only be to cover up the Government's political mistakes.

Covid infection levels in England seem to be remaining roughly the same, and the risk of meeting a Covid-infected person in your everyday life remains HIGH. Around 1 in 200 people in England are infected with Covid, as of 7 April. See below for more on how we calculated this. 🧵

Why isn't the UK Health Security Agency producing something like this?
I mean proper advice, not just taglines such as 'children are more likely to be hit by a bus than catch covid' or 'facemasks trap Covid'. We pay such high taxes, we deserve better.

Esther @independent sage called for fresh air control in classrooms from the early days of the pandemic in 2020.

What does all this mean?
The Dept of Ed is acknowledging that indoor air quality plays a role in the absenteeism crisis.

They are asking schools to use their ARP funds to improve indoor air quality.

If your school has not done this yet, what is your excuse?

Michael A Osborne Especially since science has no idea why some individuals are more prone to brain neuroinvasion than others. I see a lot of young brains with a lot of blood vessel disruption, inflammation, and viral replication. And some others are totally fine...

Mandy K. Cohen, MD, MPH How can we read it when it's behind a pay wall. Your job is paid for by the public. Articles you write about public health & promote in your role as a public official should be free to the public. Also, in team sports, every member wears effective personal protective equipment.

To our knowledge this was not disclosed to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry ⬇️😡

Worth remembering that our Welsh Labour Welsh Government knew of the scheme for 3 weeks beforehand and raised no objections either.
