Masks Cut Covid Spread in Schools, Study Finds By @RoniNYTimes
nytimes.com/2022/11/10/hea…

⚠️CPS Covid cases are 🆙, but actual cases prob higher. PCR tests s/b avail at EVERY school, bc rapid tests miss 90% of asymptomatic cases, which cause >50% spread. Pls #MaskUp 😷 w N95s/KF94s. @JiananShi @stacydavisgates @NaderDIssa @SSKedreporter @catlynsavado @jacksonpCTU .@ChiPubSchools' switching to only home rapid tests is too risky.

@nhannahjones Sure there are harms w remote learning, but there are greater harms teaching indoors during this Omicron surge. Teachers vaxx rates are high but are still getting COVID & must quarantine. CPS is shortstaffed on subs, attendance is low, unenrollmemt rising. It's unsafe. @nhannahjones Even Chicago school nurses say it's unsafe: 147 CPS school nurses said so bit.ly/SchoolNurses4S…

I wish @HillTVLive's @robbysoave would do some research on what @CTULocal1 is dealing with during @ChiPubSchools negotiations re: in-school learning during COVID-19.👇🏾 @ryangrim @KimIversenShow @thehill @ILRaiseYourHand @il_fps @TroyLaraviere @GregKelleySEIU @stacydavisgates

This unfair and unbalanced "reporting" is what set off this thread. 🧵 Dude doesn't know wtf he's talking about, relying on right wing reporting, smh. 🤦🏾‍♀️

If elected, you/@GOP won't hold employers of these low wage jobs that don't provide good benefits or pensions accountable, you just want Blacks mad at Latinos. You don't support Reparations for Blacks, #Fightfor15 or closing the #RacialWealthGap. #BlackPolitics #BlackVote #ADOS

Those poultry jobs @jamestulp talked about don't fix the #WageGap

.@JamalSimmons pls stop being a Clinton-Obama apologist and have @profwolff @thomasfrank_ @RBReich @SandyDarity @DarrickHamilton on his show ASAP. Wages have been STAGNANT. The dotcom boom BUSTED. NAFTA outsourced manufacturing & living wage jobs. The #RacialWealthGap persists.
