The teacher told me
her school’s principal
asked her if she
was going to keep masking,
so I asked her
what she said in response
and with a laugh she said
that she told him
“of course I am,
you always tell us
we need to set a good example.”

Hand-washing is not effective at preventing the spread of an airborne disease, be it measles or covid. Thank you to Dr. Susan Kuo for emphasizing this!
Measles, like COVID is a contagious airborne virus.
Handwashing is ineffective for prevention but what is effective includes vaccination, use of masks especially N95 masks, cleaning the air in schools and a public awareness campaign.

it’s not that we didn’t know

it’s that ultimately

Yes. It seems much harder for folks to change themselves than for them to talk about all they change they will make...
I keep hearing people say
they are ready
oh how they are ready
to change the world,
but they balk when asked
if they are ready
to change their own habits,
for they are ready
oh how they are ready

so long that is
as they do not need
to change themselves.

The headline asked
“Why are so many children

and though we know
that the answer
to this question
is that the pandemic
never ended,
meaning many children
are still catching Covid,

hoping for a different answer.

This article is always worth a share! 'Decision-based evidence-making'.
Only the finest decision-based evidence-making: '“Could you please give me some of the stats from your school assessments for the media brief today. We need to be able to give some data that supports what we keep saying transmission in schools is low,” Henry wrote.'
Emails show Dr. Bonnie Henry knew of concerns over BC’s COVID-19 data and school exposures while publicly downplaying them
During what officials called a ‘daunting’ spike in school exposures, the provincial health officer maintained that spring break drove infections, not in-school transmission

Yes, and if only most people would do more than just SAY, 'think of the children'.
I know, I know,
we all roll our eyes
when someone says
“think of the children”
but considering how
new studies have found
“Children face elevated
kidney, heart, and gut risks
for years
after Covid infection,”
it is really seems
that we probably should
think of the children.

Agreed. The kids are NOT okay. No covid infection is 'harmless' or 'immune system strengthening'.
5. Kids are not okay. Repeat COVID infections can affect children’s brains, hormones, and immune systems. The myth of “mild in kids” is harmful.
