.@Chiefs are going to continue to #RunItBack this Sunday against the @BuffaloBills. I have a friendly wager with @markpoloncarz @ErieCountyNY Exec. that #Chiefs will win. I will stock up on blue cheese in anticipation of receiving Buffalo wings! Thanks @GatesBBQ @Boulevard_Beer

Imagine dozens of students and teachers being quarantined for 14 days. Imagine having to switch between online and in-person learning. Dozens of kids...multiple classrooms...every week.

We WANT kids back in class, but to go back for the long term without ⬆️ risk of disruption.

[Doug Rawlings @RayDMPH]

Each positive case will expose dozens of students, staff, and teachers, forcing many to quarantine.

This will happen week after week until our spread is controlled.

There is a reason why nearly every developed nation in the world didn’t open schools at this level of spread.

[Doug Rawlings @RayDMPH]

At our rate of community transmission...

A 500-person school has a roughly 60% chance of seeing a positive case within a week.

A 1000-person school has a roughly 85% chance of seeing a positive case within a week.

Even though our current case count is lower, due to our proximity to @jocogov, we are assuming that community transmission is occurring in Jackson County as well. Please follow all of the @CDCgov recommendations.
