Just gonna say that I think there’s going to come a point where we view the way alcohol has been mass-marketed to women over the past few decades in the same way we view cigarette advertising in the 50s.

Think about how many times you say wine is the solution. It’s not.

(You know what is the solution to everything by the way? Justice.)

For everyone responding defensively: 1) that’s a sign to do some self-examination; 2) when you’re hungover all the time you’re not operating a full capacity; 3) patriarchy likes us numb because it keeps us quiet.

It’s been thoroughly researched to make us more sensitive to the advertising.

Also, everyone should read this article by @KristiCCoulter, particularly if your response to this is something along the lines of “don’t tag me with this, Elizabeth.”

Open your mind.

Ok, last point of the am. You don’t have to be an alcoholic to quit. You don’t have to be dependent to see that alcohol numbs you and denies you your full expression & the capacity to have complete clarity.

It is a SOCIAL JUSTICE issue.

Brief thread to debunk the repeated claims we hear about transmission not happening 'within school walls', infection in school children being 'a reflection of infection from the community', and 'primary school children less likely to get infected and contribute to transmission'.

I've heard a lot of scientists claim these three - including most recently the chief advisor to the CDC, where the claim that most transmission doesn't happen within the walls of schools. There is strong evidence to rebut this claim. Let's look at


Let's look at the trends of infection in different age groups in England first- as reported by the ONS. Being a random survey of infection in the community, this doesn't suffer from the biases of symptom-based testing, particularly important in children who are often asymptomatic

A few things to note:
1. The infection rates among primary & secondary school children closely follow school openings, closures & levels of attendance. E.g. We see a dip in infections following Oct half-term, followed by a rise after school reopening.


We see steep drops in both primary & secondary school groups after end of term (18th December), but these drops plateau out in primary school children, where attendance has been >20% after re-opening in January (by contrast with 2ndary schools where this is ~5%).
