Because CPS is adding/deleting cases, and spreading them out throughout the weekend, the average daily case rate appears to be 410 / day for those 4 days.
More accurate would be to assume they are part of the Thursday / Friday totals, which would be 820 / day for 2 days.
To be clear, I’m making an assumption re: compressing the 4 day total into 2 days, mainly due to Friday’s shenanigans during the #CpsWalkout:
Don’t get numb to these figures. The vast majority of these cases are our children.
Don’t write off Omicron as “mild like a cold/flu”. Cold & flu does not run the risk of giving you, your child, your child’s educators, or your loved ones long-term health issues, including brain damage.
@ChiPublicHealth 3- Are you aware that #Omicron is considered to be the 2nd most transmissible disease in the world (behind measles) by many medical professionals? If so, I again ask: why is @ChiPubSchools open during the peak of the Omicron surge in this city?
@ChiPublicHealth@ChiPubSchools 4- Are you aware that COVID-19 is NOT just a respiratory virus, and that it has “multiple avenues to induce long-term impairment, attacking the brain, heart, lungs, blood, testes, colon, liver, and lymph nodes, causing persistent symptoms in more than half of patients?”
