Deblasio just announced NYC schools are closed for the rest of the school year. I’m wondering if that means work will continue to be closed that long as well?

Washington State schools made the same call earlier this week, even though we’ve seen the curve start to flatten. It’s likely that we won’t be back in the office until June, I think our stay at home order is going to be extended again (currently sitting at May 4th).

Our governor also announced school closure for tje rest of the year. He was aggressive and announced it way back early last week.

It’s also cause contracts for teachers go through summer. Easy call to hit the reset button and budget for the new school year now.

School closures began a few weeks before the stay at home orders did. The first things that were closed/restricted will be among the last things to open/see the restrictions lifted. Even if infections/deaths decrease, it’s still not a good idea to have people congregate in large groups for a while, which is precisely what happens at school.

Even though we knew this was coming, it’s mentally breaking me today.

Cuomo just said de Blasio didn’t have legal authority to make the decision... so now who knows

C-19 can spread by vaxxed to vaxxed and unvaxxed, and can likewise be spread by unvaxxed to vaxxed and unvaxxed…

Vaxxed also have to wear masks…

Vaxx hospitalizations are lagging behind cases…

1-dose is considered unvaxxed…

Vax loses “durability” after ~6 months (pfzr)

~70% 18+ US population at least 1 dose

3rd dose being called for…

HIGHER nmbr c-19 positive patients NOW than before vax

School year hasn’t begun…

Fully vax are greater than 1% hospitalizations

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?
