It might be a wakening for the older ones, sadly. It's the sort of thing that becomes a major childhood memory.

If they wore FFP2 or FFP3 masks, there's practically no chance they'd catch it - or any other respiratory illness.

If we cleaned the air in schools with #HEPA filters in classrooms, viruses wouldn't build up in the air and transmission would drop massively.

We clean the water - but not air?

The UK has c.5,000 Covid deaths so far this year, likely undercount.

Yet Scotland follows UK JCVI (with some Hart group COVID skeptic members) to deny 13 million clinically vulnerable people vaxx this winter.

2 GPs & 2 receptionists off sick on Monday in my surgery. Needless.

Yes, Jesus Was a Refugee - Christianity Today From Russell Moore: Jesus is with the refugees in their camp. He calls us to join him.

Another primary school targeted with abuse because of a Nativity that mentions refugees (now cancelled). You know it’s bad when the atheists have to start quoting scripture. My brothers in Christ, meet Jesus. He was a refugee www.christianitytoday.com/2025/01/jesu...

The UK still isn't following airborne precautions for Covid e.g. In healthcare or education - what will children's health be like after say 20 years of repeated infection?

Unity March in Falkirk, Saturday 6th December.
20mins on the train from Glasgow and there's even a decent retail park 5mins from the March end-point if people want to do some Christmas shopping afterwards.
There's also a festival of Christmas trees nearby as well.

Horrible update. The far right say they will continue to target that primary school until they get their way www.thenational.scot/news/2564569...

Sounds similar to the targeted harassment of immigrants at the Cladhan Hotel in Falkirk, instead of protesting their "grievances" to the decision-makers.

It's bullying of the vulnerable, plain and simple.

Demo for Unity, Falkirk, Saturday 6th Dec. 20mins on the train from Glasgow.

I've been counter-protesting regularly at the Cladhan Hotel in Falkirk.
This targeted harassment of vulnerable immigrant people - either at their place or education or residence - raises the issue of further buffer zones.
Don't like decisions? Complain to the decision-makers. NOT the abuse of users.

This is a tweet from WHO from 2024. You can clearly see Streeting has ignored all of this. Not saying it’s perfect advice but it does say about ventilation. We need to stop following populists over a cliff edge.

Far-right mob plans protest migrants’ English class at primary school Glasgow city council has rounded on a self-styled child protection group which is aiming to picket a school on Monday

The far right targeting a primary school is absolutely disgusting. These English classes are for the pupil’s PARENTS. Just shows people have NO idea how much schools do for families and it’s only a problem when the parents aren’t white www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

#WorldChildrensDay gives us a chance to think about where we are in Scotland and, most importantly, what matters to children. Time to reflect on our policies, laws, and how they impact on the real lives of children and families.

Parents' fury as school bus cuts force pupils on three-mile walk Nathan is among pupils who are now walking three miles each way to school after the council scrapped the free bus link.

Another school term and another year of barriers, challenges and misery for some children and families and a blatant disregard for children's rights

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social why have you taken away vaccines from most clinically vulnerable when the research is showing serious post infection risks? Why are UKHSA not looking at this research? What is the justification?

Everyone should watch this important video. Labour are currently saying that they agree with Lisa Ritchie in the covid inquiry that Covid isn’t airborne but Bridget Phillipson was chastising the Tories in Parliament for not mitigating in 2022. Now they are in, apparently it’s not longer airborne πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ§΅

You can't do ecology without doing politics. Not any more. Maybe you never could. Any ecologist with half a brain ends up politicised.

New Tesla Model Y: What have they done? YouTube video by carwow

If anyone from the USA or elsewhere wants to see how British humour is used to great effect, firstly, ignore the video.

And then read the (thousands of) comments.

Some great work here. Well done all.

The Covid Inquiry is Ignoring the Biggest Lesson: COVID-19 is Airborne In the first week of the Covid Inquiry, the importance of aerosols has been ignored, and the WHO's disastrous initial claim Covid 'is not airborne' has been overlooked
