Oct 5, 2022: EPSB absences update.
I have been giving more weight to absences due to any illness incase COVID-19 cases are not being reported as such. September's average ended up being 4.11%. That means September had the second highest average absence numbers this year.

This is the percent of students absent due to any illness each day compared monthly.

This is percent of daily COVID-19 absences compared monthly.

A thread on COVID-19 vs Influenza and how they are not the same. The proof is in the Alberta Health & Alberta Health Services data.

MAJOR disclaimer here. This data is not per calendar year, it is for each specific flu season in Alberta and the date range changes from year to year. It also means that many deaths and cases were left out. Doing it this way is necessary to create the most accurate comparisons.

These are the date ranges for the 7 years.
August 30, 2015 – June 11, 2016
2016-2017 is unspecified
August 28, 2017 – June 23, 2018
August 26, 2018 – March 23, 2019
Oct 06, 2019 to May 2, 2020
September 27, 2020 - April 3, 2021

@EPSBNews

This is an update on Edmonton Public Schools COVID/illness/absence numbers. I have been collecting this data daily since Jan 2022. Thank you to @EPSBNews for making it available for as long as you have. #edmonton #yeg #covidab

This first graph tells the biggest story. In purple are absences related to COVID-19, in blue are absences due to other illness. As you can see, when students returned to school in January, there was a significant amount of COVID-19 going around. Absences due to other illnesses..

were also quite high. Throughout the year absences due to other illness grew well above COVID-19. I am not an expert, but I believe this was caused by a lack of testing moving potential COVID-19 cases into the 'other illness' category because COVID cases often aren't confirmed.
