We can’t think of a better way for someone to tell us they don’t have kids without actually telling us they don’t have kids.
Who are these people?!
As usual, don’t answer that.
Genuine q for ppl more concerned about schools being closed than covid: are you aware mandatory schooling is barely a century old in this country?
Maybe ur all grandparents had highschool, but what about ur great-grandparents?
Yes, education is important. But it’s a pandemic!

Genuine question for Dr. Ellie Murray, ‘Are you totally eff’d in the head?’

Would someone please send this doctor all of the studies that have been done on the increase of mental illness in kids who are not in school? The number of suicides? It’s just so damn irritating to read these sorts of tweets from people who may not have any idea whatsoever what they’re talking about.
And who should know better.
If she does have kids in school, this is even more disconcerting.
My point here isnt that schools closing is good, or that everything is going to be just fine. It’s that we shouldnt be acting like no schools is a completely unprecedented unknowable scenario. It was normal life for most of human history.

Like, schools are just schools and stuff. And like, your great grandparents didn’t get to go to school so it’s like, no big deal.
Says the woman who went to school so much she ended up being a doctor.
Sheesh.
School is super important! I am fully supportive of schools & education!! But the idea that schools need to stay open even if when we cant do appropriate pandemic mitigation because “who knows what unending damage closures will do to kids” mystifying to me!

Mystifying to her.

So, can you provide statistics for the risk to *healthy* young people under 18? While you're at it, estimate the efficacy of masks & potential transmissions prevented? Then, provide trends for childhood depression and anxiety. Also, test score trends during the pandemic. Thanks.

This is an incredibly dumb tweet on too many levels to fit in the space allowed.

Impressively dumb, right?
Genuine question – are you prescribe psychotropic drugs or do you self medicate?

Join the club.
And women haven’t had jobs till even more recently. GTFOH with this idiocy.

You have a lot of education. You could do better than this.

I’m totally puzzled here. Universal schooling, especially girls’ education, is considered to be one of the most defining achievements & critical transformative strategies to empower girls and to tackle poverty, child marriage and gender-based violence.https://t.co/mMQZgsdRh0

Puzzling indeed.
