California state mandated #COVID19 thresholds for schools to open are not readily available on county and state websites. To help parents stay updated, @sinabooeshaghi, working with @IngileifBryndis and me, made these continuously updated plots: github.com/pachterlab/COV… 
The thresholds are from @GavinNewsom "Blueprint for a Safer Economy".

We've included a plot displaying data for the previous school opening requirements (14 days totaling 200 cases per 100,000 for TK-6th and 100 cases per 100,000 for high schools).
The case data is being scraped from the @nytimes repository: github.com/nytimes/covid-…
NOTE: the @nytimes data differs from the LA county reported figures at the county data portal. The differences arise from what appears to be dysfunction and chaos in county reporting.

Anyone can play with the data using the @GoogleColab notebook we provide github.com/pachterlab/COV…. In addition, @sinabooeshaghi utilizes @github actions to run the code every four hours and automatically update the plots shown in the README.
Note that these plots are currently generated for LA county, but it is straightforward to extend this to other counties.
