@AustinISDsupt @AustinISD …testing reqmt for full vacc’d I mean. CDC still reccommends it due to the tsunami of cases.

@AustinISDsupt @AustinISD What is layared about your protocol to - as the 1st option in your flowchart - have unvacc’d kids come to school (and eat w friends in the cafeteria) with direct exposure (probably continual direct exposure if at home w ill family)? Also, why no testing reqmt?

Our layered protocols work! We have been here before. We can do this. Our kids need the schools to stay open. austinisd.org/announcements/…

@AustinISD The unvacc’d exposure part of your flowchart should more reflect CDC (as pictured) which advised to quarantine if not vacc’d in the last 6 mo. Yes, some families can’t afford to keep their children home but this should be a proces w a plan, not just a “hey, come on in”.

@matthewlehew @allenrgee I recommend getting a box of kn95s or surgicals, and after being direct (per advice on this thread), offering them to anyone who did not bring a mask, and asking the students to - moving forward - remember to keep a mask with them (so you don’t have to continually supply them).

@allenrgee Great advice. All I was doing was showing a picture of my unborn child every class and explaining the increased risk of COVID complications and death faced by pregnant women. I didn’t even think about being *direct*.

I start every class with an ultrasound picture of my son due in October, pleading with my students to wear masks as a personal favor to my family. In small, at-capacity classrooms, only 5 of 45 of my students wore a mask. I’ll never be able to look at this job the same way.

@BigNik @GregAbbott_TX This should help matters: wash it.

@GregAbbott_TX Thank you Greg. These masks are seriously ruining lives. With the amount of bacteria detected on some of these samples - these masks are actually weakening the immune system and prolonging the pandemic.

The time for government mask mandates is over—now is the time for personal responsibility. In May, I signed an executive order prohibiting mask mandates by gov't entities. Every Texan has the right to choose whether they will wear a mask or have their children wear masks.

This is a good time to remind everyone that Trump is currently being taken care of by socialized medicine. In fact, the entire military is funded by taxpayers, including hospitals.

@iyad_elbaghdadi We are not Trump, and we'll be the loudest voice for you and yours. Sending love from America.

Thank Trump for the one good thing he did. He exposed Evangelicals, who are his supporters as the shameless hippocrates they've always been.

Tomorrow will commence our four year-long National Day of Mourning.

Pleasantly surprised I had cell phone service after that halftime. I was half-expecting a Brown-out.

"Sex" just autotexted as "wed." Nah, the folks behind Android don't have an agenda.
