Pre-1950, fresh air in schools was prioritised in many places, to prevent disease. Look at those windows. Now the air in schools is filthy. Unflued gas heaters, windows closed year-round, a Covid and flu and RSV soup. Research shows schools are the engine rooms of infectious disease in society. If we did this one simple thing, not only Covid would be gone. Also most flu and colds and RSV. We have contempt for children. That contempt is making us all sick, and the few young workers we have left to look after our rapidly ageing societies are now being damaged by disease as well.
