From Europe to the US, Covid cases in children are surging. Schools aren't prepared.
Guest, a head teacher at an elementary school in Birmingham, England, scoured Amazon for affordable air purifiers in the hopes of stopping the more transmissible Omicron variant from spreading among his 460 students, who are between 3 and 11 years old. The British government recommends two models made by Dyson and Camfil, but at £424 and £1,170 , respectively, they were too expensive. Guest ultimately bought £200 portable units for each classroom.
That has vexed some parents, with British news reports of at least one mother driving to Europe to get her daughter vaccinated. Christina Pagel, the director of the Clinical Operational Research Unit at University College London, said the decision to delay shots for British children was a mistake, one that will set them up for another term of illness, and would put parents and school staff at further risk.
