Robert Peston Robert, you were there as were your colleagues.

I recall you and your colleagues asked similar questions, whereas you all could have asked more searching questions.

Also, when the question remained unanswered, you could have said something like this:

'Can you please answer…

'Learning loss' & school closures:
A district-level analysis

A mini-twitter paper

What if I told you that the LARGEST LEARNING GAINS were seen in the school district that was CLOSED LONGEST for the pandemic?

It's true!

Let's a take a deep look at 'learning loss'

The biggest lesson of the pandemic, shown by multiple countries, is that for a long period/until vaccines arrive, you can keep it largely or completely out *and* have (much) less disruption than countries 'mitigating' - but that is completely forgotten/ignored everywhere.

This should be shocking, but sadly isn't. This isn't just what happened in the US either. JCVI was actually very open about this being an aim in their minutes. That circulation of virus in children was 'beneficial' to the pandemic and would help 'boost' parents.

1/ The UK is descending into fascism. Our democratic freedoms are being threatened. Everyone living in the UK right now should be deeply concerned. Here’s why… 🧵

(((( ! )))) Its particle size is in the same region as cigarette smoke, it’s scientifically impossible for it not to be Airborne, if you could see it it would look like smoke floating around. Yet unfortunately too many gullible get their ‘facts’ from hearsay and rumours

A thought provoking thread that’s worth a couple of minutes of your time:

Look over there! There’s a small boat of people escaping a war torn country and in search of a better quality of life.

Meanwhile….
Our pensions are shit
Energy prices unbelievable
Health spending shit

However, knob heads blame the small boats because it’s easier to grasp.

Have stayed away from the news as best as possible today. I knew that I would just get upset. I will just say that if Sir Gavin Williamson MP had allowed schools to shut 2weeks early in December 2020 I would not have been widowed at 48. I wouldn't have been in school and contracted

Why the energy price cap will fall in April, but we’re all set to pay 20% more.

Dr Dan Goyal Abraar Karan - you must wear a mask when walking around the office but you can take it off when sitting at your desk
- children may get infected but do not transmit the infection
- children never get sick with COVID
- hospitalisations in children are MILD
Cont’d….The list is very long🫣

Dr Dan Goyal Abraar Karan Let’s not forget that senior very intelligent academics have claimed that:
- masks INCREASE the risk of catching COVID
- children are more likely to get hit by a bus than catching COVID
- transmission does NOT happen in schools - schools are “safe”
- COVID = FLU (pre-vaccines)

If someone said in 2019 that it was “healthy” for unvaccinated kids to be exposed to potentially dangerous viruses, they’d be rightly called a quack.

Now, that’s called “nuance” and I get scolded for disagreeing.

‘In Ukraine where I am now, it’s easier to get tomatoes than it is in London…’ says Caolan

Watch then read incredible thread below and make no mistake - food shortages are due to Brexit & govt ineptitude

I really can't ridicule the incompetence of the UK government over post-Brexit trade enough

Remember the phantom Seabourne Ferries debacle?

Well, the latest example is a tale of utter incompetence, phantom shipping companies and the Great UK Tomato Shortage of 2023 🧵

Conservatives Jeremy Hunt Keep gaslighting hun.

Tories tell us with meaningless graphs that bankrupting energy costs are all down to the war in Ukraine
Then the truth, the highest ever profits for BP & Shell

Yes the Tory gov thinks we're dumb

Are you falling for it?

Also on the topic of child health:

Research shows sub-clinical (asymptomatic but with “worrisome implications”) systolic cardiac impairment in 60% of children five months post recovery from asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic SARS-2
