Woke up sick today. Thinking, again, about increased school covid numbers and closures, kids with masks off for an hour+ a day, our classroom windows open a few inches for ventilation, how covid spreads, and NYC not having any closure threshold at all.

Dear @chicagosmayor
I did not swim at the beach, cut my hair, eat indoors, see my sister, grocery shop ...

Followed all the directives, to keep our city and fellow healthcare workers safe.

NOW IT’S JUST FINE FOR ME TO WALK INTO A SCHOOL BUILDING FILLED WITH PEOPLE?
