@ChiPublicHealth I’ll get a head start:

1- if there was a measles outbreak at a school, would you recommend closing it? Or would you tell parents to grin and bear it?

#AskDrArwady @ChiPublicHealth 2- If the answer is the former (close schools), then why is @ChiPubSchools open during a peak COVID wave with the most transmissible variant (Omicron) to date?

There have been 1,642 reported COVID-19 cases at CPS, and counting, from 1/13 (Thursday) - 1/16 (today).

😬 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.
