For all concerned about children actually learning in school, see below an interesting study carried out in 270 classrooms over 5 years showing that the measured effects of elevated CO2 in classrooms are greater than the negative impact of school closures during height of the pandemic.

That's okay just send the kids into the HEPA filterless, ventilation-system-less classroom. Where the toilet is actually situated inside the classroom. And the kids can eat their lunch beside the smelly toilet.
Schools are safe schools are safe schools are safe. Ignore all science on long covid

Long Covid could trigger symptoms similar to Alzheimerโs, new study says
Approximately 20 million Americans have been diagnosed with long Covid
How's the great Irish long Covid cover up going today @newschambers.bsky.social?
Here's today's news. Studies like this out everyday for the last 4 years all completely ignored in Irish media.

Grateful to @togetherwemask.bsky.social for the opportunity to share our experience advocating for children in Irish schools. Ventilation (i.e. open windows/mechanical systems) and appropriately sized hepa filters are necessary to clean the air in school buildings & classrooms to reduce illness.

School absences in the news again, like this time last year.
It's all talk.
NOTHING done to prevent school acquired infections.
Sickness is the highest reason for absences.
Make schools safer = reduce absences.
#CleanTheAir AT THE VERY LEAST

Asthma Society Ireland never once mentioned HEPA filters through the pandemic while experts around the world have been shouting from the rooftops..
Before the pandemic they were giving them away in competitions and knew all about the importance of indoor air quality for asthma sufferers

โWe are approaching an average of 5 infections per person since pandemic onset.โ This level of exposure has significant implications, given the millions of people infected, the toll of long Covid, and the quickly growing knowledge of long-term damage from infection.โ

Reddit post by kind_kitten_2012
My mom died. I explained that her PCP's examination room has poor ventilation. I showed them the Aranet sensor when we were there. It climbed to 2000 ppm. I said when I'm not there someone needs to bring and run a portable air purifier in the exam room at least. I told them how I've measured lots of medical spaces and anything besides an actual hospital often has dangerous air quality. People literally walked away while I was speaking. My mom had just finished chemo, the tumors had shrunk and she seemed stronger. Then I was told, she caught a "cold"
: After a while, she
couldn't shake it. Her lungs became congested, and she faded away. She was breathless and more and more exhausted. She became incontinent. She slept, and then she passed away in her sleep. Just stopped breathing. No pulse. Cola.
People are still pretending that this timeline we're in is acceptable
