Music fan. UK science teacher in an FFP3 mask. The right mask makes it easy to sing, perform, teach, or speak in public. #N95 #FFP2 #FFP3 #YallMasking

I've just finished my working week, and I've also finished the Covid Safety for Schools course! My mask lines have almost faded. It's a great resource, and very easy to share with schools. Thank you to @ColinKinner and everyone who contributed. A #CovidIsNotOver 🧵

We’ve just launched the COVID Safety For Schools Course. It’s a free, comprehensive online course for Australian schools to help them keep students and staff safe during the COVID pandemic. covidsafetyforschools.org

I've found 4999 people to follow who regularly wear masks. Give me a shout if you want to be the 5000th!

My son is back in school tomorrow. He's the only one in his class who wears a mask. He's feeling a bit wobbly about it. Would any medical professionals be able to give him a shout out?

You know who LOVES infectious children being kept at home? The other 29 kids in a classroom that aren’t sick, want to learn, and want a break from the chaos of absent staff members, no cover work set, and getting sick themselves.

My children have a new Headteacher. In attendance assembly today, he told the children that he has now had 8 Covid infections. My children told me that he said this “rather gleefully”🧵1/4

Some people asked me how I got COVID when I wear an FFP3 to teach. So I thought I'd revisit "The Swiss Cheese Model" to explain. A🧵 As the diagram shows, it involves firing lasers at cheese. The cheese blocks the beams. The more layers, the fewer lasers get through.

What if we introduced a child attendance tax credit? $1,000 per child if they have 90% attendance or better for the school year? This would be similar to a “good student” discount for car insurance.

I'm going to make a prediction: Remote workers are sick less often than than those who work in-person. (Your occasional reminder that COVID-denial is tied up with opposition to remote work)
Bosses are right: workers spend 2.5 fewer hours on the clock when they’re working from home |...

I'm not an expert on H5N1. I don't want to become an expert on H5N1. My children don't want to become experts on H5N1. If we do become experts, it will be because things went wrong. A🧵

If I was in a profession where my cognition was key to my continued employment, I'd wear a respirator everywhere. And I am, so I do.

I teach science to children. Lesson 1 is "Safety" Some scientists have forgotten the first thing their science teachers taught them.
