For the 'transmission in schools is just a reflection of the community and doesn't happen within school walls' crowd. There are now *numerous* sequencing studies that clearly show this is false, & superspreading happens within schools spreading back into the community.
Of course this can be reduced - through ventilation, masks, testing and isolation of those infected. We've known this for a long long time, but the denial continues to leave children and their families unprotected.
@dgurdasani1 We have well documented, contact traced entire outbreaks in Queensland Australia where the epicentres were schools. This type of study has been available globally for years now. British kids are not an exception to this.
@dgurdasani1 A tale of two cities: Me: Sydney: ventilation in two classrooms only. Friend: Vic: school has taken delivery of additional ventilation units which covers every classroom, Admin, and staffroom in the school. Both are public schools.
@dgurdasani1 Thank you Deepti. Yet another informative Tweet to bookmark in preparation for the 'transmission in schools is just a reflection of the community and doesn't happen within school walls' crowd.
@dgurdasani1 @LazarusLong13 Anecdotally, the more we minimize Covid spread in schools, the more likely someone is to take their contagious kid to some large indoor event and trigger a super spreader. “I thought it was over!”
@dgurdasani1 They still want kids infected in attempt to build herd immunity. They should make that explicit x.com/sandyboots2020…

@dgurdasani1 Schools have always been airborne transmission hubs; PHE’s own data proves this But read any PHE-linked report into SARS2 transmission in schools & you’re bound to think otherwise Do PHE teams reckon we’re so impressed by PHE scientists that we’ll believe anything they claim?

@dgurdasani1 Hey @CDCofBC sounds like the parents were right when they said kids bring Covid home from school
@dgurdasani1 @HZiauddeen @Wal_Trudeau @Vadeboncoeur_Al @VeilletteAndre Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait informer Dr Boileau qui semble encore croire que la transmission dans les écoles est seulement le reflet de la transmission dans la communauté?
