One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.

Good morning

Due to the ongoing flu like symptoms going through the school we cannot rule out Covid even though tests may come back negative. There is a new variant going around the UK and the symptoms include:

High Temperature

Cough

Runny Nose

Body Aches

Headache

Loss of taste and smell

We have had so many poorly children and staff with these symptoms and we don't want it spread. Please keep your child at home if they present with any of these symptoms and do not bring them back until they are better.

Staff will be checking temperatures and if they think your child has any of these symptom's they will be sending your child home to recover.

Canada: "New data shows spike in COVID-19, cold symptoms as flu season arrives" - COVID-19 positivity: 3.8% - Influenza positivity: 3.7% - RSV positivity: 0.2% - Among 52 laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral outbreaks, 67.31% were associated with COVID-19 - Data through Sept. 26, 2026
A screenshot of an online article from the CP24 news website, featuring their white logo on a black background at the top. The bold main headline reads, "New data shows spike in COVID-19, cold symptoms as flu season arrives." The article is written by Christl Dabu and was published on October 02, 2026.
Below the text, a photograph captures a woman with long dark hair sitting at a cafe table, coughing or sneezing into her inner elbow. She is wearing a pink blazer over a green top, sitting in front of a white laptop and a ceramic mug. The background shows a softly blurred bakery counter with shelves and bottled drinks. The caption below notes that federal government data found an increase in COVID-19, influenza, cough, and fever cases as of late September 2026.
