I found reading part of a Canadian report following the original SARS-1 outbreak in 2003 to be fascinating.
Mr. Justice Archie Campbell:
I think this would apply to schools too. In NYC, it took 19 positive COVID-19 cases to close one school, P.S. 79 in East Harlem.
From the the NY Post article on the closing:
East Harlem public school closed after COVID-19 outbreak
By Conor Skelding and Susan Edelman
After being open only a week, a city public school in East Harlem is the first to cancel in-person classes, after a COVID-19 outbreak among staffers.
Nineteen people tested positive as of Friday at P.S. 79 on East 120th Street, prompting officials to switch over to remote education, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer tweeted.
“My understanding is there are enough cases of COVID that the [Department of Education COVID-19] Situation Room has decided to close the school for 10 days until Sept. 28,” Brewer told The Post.
In addition to 19 “confirmed” cases, 45 others were quarantined, the City Council’s education chair, Mark Treyger, added.
Citywide school COVID-19 positive numbers are not exactly encouraging:
Across the city’s traditional public schools, 372 classrooms were fully closed and 303 were partially closed as of Friday, according to the tracker. There were 812 total cases of COVID-19 between Sept. 13 and 17– 487 students and 325 staff.
There is not much COVID testing going on so it might be underreported. Is that Canadian justice available? Why don't we error on the side of safety?

Fuck Canada. They’re a nation of sheep being diddled by their Marxist government. Keep your kids home if you think they’re in danger.
Smooth, says the guy who protects us.
In just this 1st week of school (& thanks mostly to outside COVID testing) 1 in 4
@NYCSchools
already have a case, 1 in 10 have 2 or more cases, & PS79 closed after 19 staff cases.
With very few tested...
4 school days=812 cases in NYC Schools
675 classroom closures
Chris Rock tests positive for COVID: 'Trust me you don't want this'
Perhaps we should listen and not go to work.
hahaha because when I think Marxism, I think Canada.
Dum Dum Debozo,
Remote for the parents who want it! Stop playing God and living in denial with children's lives. 12 and under can't be vaxxed!!
James: NYC schools are not going to have a remote option and there will be no more increased testing. The battle is over and King DeBlasio won with the UFT backing his plan.
So my fear just became a reality!
Got a letter from my son's school. I am so thankful I kept him home.
They found positive cases on Wednesday and had kids continue to attend classes on Friday Disappointed.
This is just a big mess!
UFT-all talk, no action.

The UFT made it clear over the summer that biweekly testing was insufficient. The first week of school, including photos of students packed into crowded hallways and cafeterias, only strengthens the argument for more testing.
But fear not!your vaccines protect you.i bet they were mostly vaccinatrd.if not, it would be all over the billboards.more koolaid?maybe another dose or two? Keep believing...
Period 1- 36 students + 1 teacher = 37
Period 2- 31 students + 1 teacher = 32
Period 4- 34 students + 3 teachers = 37
Period 5- 35 students + 3 teachers = 38
Period 8- 34 students + 2 teachers = 36
No windows, poor ventilation
Mulgrew was very quick to accommodate the unvaxed minority and drop the ball regarding the overcrowding.
EVERYONE knew (while he had his head stuck somewhere) that the physical distancing precaution was going to be a joke if the overcrowding was not addressed.
All a parent needs to do to get remote for their children is have their children refuse to wear the mask. Repeat mask offenders get remote. That’s the remote option available.
812 cases reported in the 1st week of in person learning. 200,000+ students reported as not attending school last week.
My school had under 40% attendance.
Smooth says the uft.
Yes, the UFT leadership is deplorable.
However the real fundamental issue is Mayoral control of the school system
There has been 20 years of criminal mismanagement of the NYC public schools by the mayor.
Fake diplomas ( Maspeth High School is just typical of most public NYC public schools), fake data, toxic school physical environments, major school safety issues, cronyism, bad technology contracts, reckless disregard for public health during the Covid pandemic.
Our students deserve better schools.
Our citizens deserve legitimate management of their public schools.
The egregious failure with NY city public schools is with mayoral control.
De Blasio has failed the citizens of NY city just like Bloomberg before him did.
End Mayoral Control of the Public Schools Now.
Make NY City Public Schools Great Again!
But how will a remote student be instructed if thete ate no remote teachers?
Take the vaccine to not get COVID, says vaccinated guy who got COVID.
@Chris_1791
Chris Rock Says He Has Breakthrough COVID-19 Case, Urges Vaccination http://dlvr.it/S7sqKk
Well. Here comes Singapore.
With one of the longest uninterrupted mask mandates in the world & 80+% of the entire population vaccinated, they’re nearing a new high in cases.
Just think of how excited experts & politicians are to completely ignore this & push for more mandates!
James' king has spoken...And it sounds really unsafe.
“If NYC had a thorough and rigorous weekly testing protocol...the real number of classrooms fully or partially closed today because of COVID-19 could be 1,000 or even higher," says
@UFT
prez Mike Mulgrew. Currently, the number is 675.

@samraskinz
Half of the kids in our sons’ 6th grade (3/6 classes) have been quarantined in the 1st week. Unacceptable
Too bad about Maspeth, once again.
Why hasnt Namita Dwarka of Bryant HS been caught yet? It will happen, and all those Post journalists will scratch their heads when they google her name..
"Duuuhhhh...how didnt we know that?"
Bryant AP M Morales....the first to squueeeeeel, gets the deal....
@5:15 are you being deliberately obtuse? People are not getting the vaccine to not get COVID because breakthrough cases have been talked about for some time now. They get the vaccine so that their symptom are not as severe as they might be with the full-blown virus. As you're always here trolling, I'm sure you know that.
NY city schools are most definitely not following the safety.
Instead they are following their vanity, their delusional thinking and the dictates of their
political patrons (hedge fund liberals) to force a reckless re-opening of the schools.
Lets see how long the public schools remain open.
Singapore has a little less than 6 million people. They have 60 deaths from COVID since this pandemic began. They have a little over 1,000 cases currently and they are closing the schools.
https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/singapore-reports-935-new-covid-19-cases-highest-since-april-last-year-2021-09-17/
Let's see how this goes.
Mayor De Blasio is doing the bidding of his wealthy patrons who control the agenda for of the NY Democrat party.
These De Blasio patrons are limousine liberals form the real estate and financial services sectors. They fund and sustain the NY Democrat politicians.
Your safety is definitely not their concern.
Nice work, uft.
This is who I should adore?
Aetna sues NYC, union leaders over ‘tainted’ Medicare contract
By Carl Campanile
September 19, 2021 7:00pm Updated
Lol. So much for a strong union.
https://nypost.com/2021/09/19/aetna-sues-nyc-unions-over-tainted-medicare-contract/
The NY Post article describes the allegations of collusion between the UFT, NYC and Martin Scheinman (the arbitrator) with retiree Medicare Advantage plan.
This really needs a criminal investigation and criminal charges.
We are living in the golden age of criminal mismanagement of the NY city school system
and you are all just so fortunate to be living during these historic criminal times.
Here it is:
https://nypost.com/2021/09/19/aetna-sues-nyc-unions-over-tainted-medicare-contract/
So I was just notified that my son has to quarantine. He was a close contact at school. Guess that’s goodbye to my CAR days.
All this stupid talk about limousine liberals. Red state politicians don't even want masks but you're crying about liberals wanting to keep the schools open?
No masks at Emmy Awards last night.
I like this blog a lot. But so many of the coments are ridiculous alt-right nonsense. Maybe there should not be the option to do anonymous comments.
lmao @ 8:34--who posts anonymously. I'm gonna low-inference that, based on your stunning hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness, you are a progressive liberal?
@8:34. Typical lefty trying to dox people he disagrees with while also remaining anonymous.
Yeah, I posted anonymous. But the difference is that what I wrote was not toxic. This blog is good, but there's a lot of trolls who post anonymous.
The powers that be have a working model to achieve the current outcome. I say @339pm for office, to change the outcome.
@718pm...
As for @515 It's a symptom of a bigger problem.
@1053pm...
The walking dead who don't even know they are the walking dead will always believe their "red politicians". Kool-aid drunk(check)
Riiiiight because only progressive liberals are hypocrites and not self aware. Makes sense---doesnt.
Progressive definition of toxic is opinions they don't agree with. Progressives are the only people on this blog who want to dox and censor dissenting opinions and also blast teachers for being photographed maskless at school.Pro union? Riiight.
@224pm.. okay. You're entitled to your opinion. I guess by your definition I'm not a progressive blah blah put "republican new name/ word for the day here". Just make sure you have on both your literal and figurative mask on tomorrow.
Hey moron @ 2:24, do you even know what it means to dox someone. Suggesting that people post with their real names is not doxxing anyone you idiot. And are you ever going to stop crying about the idiot maskless teacher. The mask was ill-fitting and it didn't fit. She wouldn't be the first Trumptard that I've seen with an ill-fitting mask. But they've go one on so you can't say anything, it just doesn't cover anything. You don't even support liberals teachers on this blog and you want to whine for days about blasting teachers? GTFOOH. Blasting teachers is your pasttime.
Moron, idiot Trumptard whiner here. Blasting teachers is the full time job of lefty snitches. Asking James to censor is done by progressives. Own it. You’re right. I don’t give a shit about liberals. But what I don’t do is demand they be censored or fired. That’s you progressives. Progressives on this blog, not Trumptards, brag about how they wanted to blast that teacher with the mask slip. Own it, progressives. Not one Trumptard did it. You did. You want teachers you don’t agree with under the doe thumb. Libtards, not trumptards, want that. Facts aren’t on your side so you insult your way through a comment but the fact is you are nothing but a doe snitch who wants UFT members fired. I’m going to keep saying it so go find your safe place, snowflake, where you can concentrate on your next snitch move.
"Waah, waah, waah". I dont give s rat's azz about idiot teachers who put their students and colleagues at risk, and Ive seen plenty of psychotic Trumptards purposely keep their mask down as if to act defiance to make a point. I didnt comment once on the idiot teacher so it is you, psycho, who doesnt have the facts on your side. Maybe you suffer from a form of tourettes where you keep repeating the same, warmed over bullshit day, after day, after day. YOU are the one who brought all of this attention to the unmasked teacher by continuing to cry about it. Most people forgot, and there you are AGAIN. LOL.
Youre the snitch, you little bitch, the same troll who claimed the Admin lets you sit on her fart filled comfy chair while you sit there grinning ratting out your colleagues before you come here and blast teachers on this blog. But you want to whine about people being anti- union while you hate liberals who make up the majority?? Hahahahah. Go take your anti-psychotic medication pathetic loser.
I dont deny it, you idiot buffoon, I own it you SHOULD be fired. Like yesterday. Losers who dont give a fuck about students, dont teach, and are only enriching themselves while giving nothing in return should be FIRED.
The idiot cultist @5:45, who wakes up angry, and goes to bed ngry needs more fiber in her diet or hasnt gotten laid in a long time. What kind of lunatic posts such an angry rant @5:45. Yes, keep saying it - we all want to hear about the idiot teacher with her mask down. Maybe people will look it up and repost. LOL. A DOE fraud and a thief calling someone a snitch. Frauds are always afraid of snitches. James repost the pic - maybe this moron is triggered because its her. ROFLMAO.
5:45 want the UFT members to support her in her efforts to retire with a fat TDA while she does nothing for her students or her job which she calls babysitting. Uh, no. Or as the kids say, yeah, no.
5:45am is losing sleep over the pic so it must be her. Nobody could be so irate over ONE poster ONE time sarcastically saying a random teacher should be put on blast. 5:45 are you the same nutjob who said people wanted to execute her and her family? That's not normal. I reread the posts because I didnt remember your delusional version about all the progessives wanting to put her on blast. ONE comment and James took the picture down. So you're a liar and you sound unstable to translate ONE post into many progressives going after her. You suffer from some type of narcissistic personality disorder always playing the victim. Seriously.
1:40. seriously . You’re side has been exposed as the fascist teacher blasters you are. I know just spewing insults is easier but you can do better. Regarding executions… yes, I was literally calling for the executions to punish the teacher. Makes perfect sense…. To a moron. It certainly couldn’t have been that I was pointing out how disgusting it was for a progressive UFT member to want to get this teacher in trouble. Oh, and I’m not crazy. My mother had me tested.
Now's the time for the laughing crying emojis. Did the poster at
5:45 really make such a fuss over one poster saying the unmasked teacher should be put on blast? LOLOLOLOL. To hear her tell it Progressives were in a mob chasing the woman with torches. Sounds just like the Central Parl Karen who was hooting and hollering about being attacked when she was strangling her own dog.
@4:34 - no dummy, I didn't say you were calling for the execution of the teacher. Learn to read. I asked if you are the same nutjob who said people wanted to execute her. You were claiming that's what progressives wanted. Of course you were just being your utterly ridiculous and hysterical self. Because one person making a simple comment that she should be put on blast is the same (to a moron) as progressives wanting to execute her and her entire family. You haven't exposed anything and just because you say it, doesn't make it so. If anything you've been exposed as a psychotic hysterical liar.
And LOLOLOLOL @ you saying someone is spewing insults. Do you even listen to yourself? LOLOLOLOL.
The Central Park Karen is the commenter who wanted to blast a teacher over a mask slip. You get that? It was a PROGRESSIVE who wanted the teacher outed and in trouble. No matter how you twist it, the fact remains the same, a progressive UFT member wanted another UFT to get in trouble for a mask slip. I’ll say it again and again. A progressive UFT member wanted a fellow UFT member in trouble for a mask slip. You didn’t hear it from a right winger or a Trumptard. It was a Joe Biden supporting progressive who wanted that teacher blasted.
6:56 YOU are the one who keeps the woman on blast - not some passing comment made by one person. And the way youre so hysterical and possessed about it you would think all Progrossives had banded together to get her fired. Get a grip, take your meds, and calm the fuck down. And stop putting the maskless teacher on blast. You've been ratting her out for weeks
“Take your meds” How original. Progressives perpetuate the DOE snitch culture. You have me confused with your progressive comrade who wanted to get that teacher in trouble. Anyone reading this thread knows that. My heart beat never went above 60. Again, for the dense, a progressive UFT member, in typical progressive fashion, wanted to ruin someone’s professional life over a mask slip and you have yet to call the snitch out but you’ve got plenty to say about me calling it out. Yup. You love that DOE snitch culture, don’t ya?
2:43 is a delusional moron. Yes, take your meds because you see things that are not there. YOU brought it to this thread and to many more threads. LOl. Wow. Your incessant whining is pathetic. Worse than a fucking 5th grader. "Waah, waah, someone posted that she should get put on blast..all Progressives bad, waaah'. Fucking whiney Moron.
2:43 suffers from obsessive comoulsive disorder. Months after the rest of the world has moved on here she is still whining about one post while pretending its all "progressives" in the DOE. Right wing wacko.
Btw moron, it didnt look like a "mask slip'. It looked intentional. 2:43 supports unmasked teachers breathing over unvaccinated little children.
Here is the whiney little troll bring the maskless teacher to this thread:
"...and also blast teachers for being photographed maskless at school.Pro union? Riiight."
She knee jerks to the maskless teacher as if she has a twitch. As if being pro union means you have to support and keep quiet about unsafe conditions or idiot non working trolls like her. Does anyone know why she's so angry and unhappy with her life?
"in typical progressive fashion, wanted to ruin someone’s professional life over a mask slip"
So a teacher whose mask slipped would have their professional career ruined? And you think a poster who commented on this blog, where the picture was posted,, is a snitch, not because they actually went to the media (where the picture was already posted) but because they commented on it. I agree that you really might need some meds if your thinking is so irrational. You're being called out because your comments are unsound.
Whiny, moron , needs meds, has ocd, right wing whacko here. You know what adjective you can’t use against me? DOE snitch. And another progressive, tries to further blast a fellow UFT member by claiming the blasted teacher’s mask slip looked “intentional”. You progressive UFT members fully embody and perpetuate the DOE snitch culture. I’m going to comment on this for quite some time. So best find your safe space.
6:56 I got her to admit she's whiney, needs meds, has OCD, and is a right wing wacko. That's progreas ROFLMAO. But yeah, youre a snitch. Principals do NOT invite lazy, good for nothing wackos to sit on their comfy chair to discuss school policy. You are throwing all of your colleagues under the bus Snitch. But go ahead, rant about it every day, twice on Sunday, in case there was a doubt in anyone's mind that you're a sociopath, now they know.
@434pm.
When did your mom have you tested? If it wasn't in the last year, I suggest you go back in for a full battery of tests because something seems off with you.
@651 am.. you're assuming that I'm a progressive. So it's okay for you to make assumptions? You're also assuming it was a mask slip. We don't know anything about the pic except what we have seen with our own eyes. I said i would ask questions about the pre and post pic behavior. I don't believe in the "thin blue line" for teachers police whites blacks fat skinny gay straight whatever. I believe in doing what is right and fair. F^ck your stance to "protect" another UFTer. We've all read comments from so called educators only caring about their money. So I will blast them and you everyday. If you want to cheat and screw up other people, make sure I'm not around. If that makes me a progressive then what do you call people who sees someone doing harm to others and stays quiet?
Does everyone see why @656am and crew are convulsing over my "snitching"? It's because they wear the DOE's "NO snitch culture" badge all day every day. They are not only tools for the DOE but are happy participants in the DOE's policy of passing all students, keeping silent about no discipline in schools and making it nearly impossible for the true professionals to do right by students. @656 am wants the status quo to continue. They don't want their gravy train to stop. They think that today I snitch on a mask "slip" and tomorrow I might snitch on their "fake grades/non teaching" behavior. It's fear that has them quaking in their soiled Depends. Go get your shots and wear your masks the right way. Show your leader,the DOE, know that you are still their tool. Tell them how you loved that they knowingly sent you into a cesspool pool in March 2020. You're like Oliver, " please sir may i have some more please?". The life of a non snitch is called a victim. I don't live by the "no snitch" mentality sweetie. Byeee
Depends and med jokes. The left used to be the witty ones. Sigh. Tomorrow you will definitely snitch. It’s what snitches do. You have no control over it. It’s a compulsion. I’m sure you’ve snitched on grade fraud before. But yet the fraudulent grades continue. We’re obviously better at getting things done than you. What’d ya do. Tackle one bad administration? Grade Fraudsters got most of the goddamn city, baby. We winning.
6:13 yawn, snooze. You're like a one trick pony and sound like a dumb fuck. Thank God you're too stupid and lazy to try and teach. The students would be far worse for it, if they were being subjected to your degenerate thinking.
What a dummy @ 6:13. Snitch on grade fraud? I thought Admin was ordering it. You can't even keep up with your own dumb lies. Gets to sit in the comfy chair so you can kiss the black AP's ass, and snitch on your colleagues. Hahahah.
6:13 is on a teacher's/union blog bragging about grade fraud one day, railing against it the next. More proof of her bipolar personality. She's a disgrace to the profession and others reading it should not look at her as the norm. She's like a cancer that needs to excised if we are to see any improvement in the classroom.
Too bad she's too much of a coward to stand for her so-called convictions. I think she posted that she's vaccinated, so unfortunately she'll let her right-wing brothers and sisters get taken off payroll while she continues to talk against them in the Admin's comfy chair.
6:13 doesn't sound like you're winning the argument at all.
"A Fox News poll released on Sunday found that a majority (56 per cent) supports President Joe Biden’s plan to require all businesses with more than or exactly 100 employees to require vaccinations or regular Covid-19 testing for their workers, a move that some conservatives have argued is unconstitutional"
Moreover, the poll showed that Republicans who have sought to make “personal choice” and “personal responsibility” the slogans of their Covid-19 response plans are in a clear minority when it comes to support for their views.
"More than two thirds of respondents said that they supported school districts requiring both teachers and students to mask up, a prospect that has been openly opposed by some GOP leaders such as Florida’s Ron DeSantis. About the same percentage of respondents said that businesses should be allowed to institute their own mask mandates at their choosing.
Conservatives are losing ground on just about every aspect of their messaging regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the poll."
3:33 PERFECT word for what she's doing: "convulsing". The pic reminds me of a right wing co-worker's mask so no, it's not 100% certain that's a slip. But I don't think the posts are from a poster "and crew". It's ONE psychotic degenerate racist. The gall to go on and on for weeks about snitching when she's posted about sitting in the Admin's comfy chair. You know damn well the Admin doesn't invite her in unless she's spreading gossip and snitching. People like her need to be put on blast and thrown out on their ass. She wants black and brown people to defend her right to defraud the system while she collects a paycheck for not doing anything for black and brown children. Fuck her. She's the same racist on the other thread supporting what she's previously called terrorist organization BLM because they were in a tizzy over the mandate (and every other vaccine requirement). It's stupid.
3:33 this "but are happy participants in the DOE's policy of passing all students, keeping silent about no discipline in schools and making it nearly impossible for the true professionals to do right by students". You hit the nail on the head. LOL @ "soiled Depends".
8:06. You think a teacher has to snitch to play the doe because that’s the only tool you progressives have. It wasn’t a Trumptard who wanted the mask slip teacher fired. It wasn’t a Trumptard who is hell bent on maintaining the mask slip was intentional. You progressive UFT members want a teacher fired over a mask slip. You are the doe snitch.
5:56 is a classless rat. She betrays her colleagues for a sit on her Principal's comfy chair. Much bigger infraction that one poster's passing comment about a mask. The poster didn't post the picture or send it to the media but 5:56 is trying to divert from her own daily behavior.
9:50 The comfy chair is for the woke. I secured my seat by fooling them I’m woke. No ratting necessary to get the comfy chair. It was a UFT progressive who ratted out the teacher for a mask slip. It was a UFT progressive that said the mask slip was intentional. It was a UFT progressive that wanted the teacher fired. UFT progressives betrayed that teacher. Those of us who get the comfy chair betray the doe woke with our lies and we betray them with a smile on our face and a song in our heart because what we don’t do is rat on colleagues like the progressive commenters on this blog do. We know the NY Post has been known to read this blog, so posting the picture of the mask slip on this blog is alerting the media. Demanding she be fired came from progressive UFT members. Keep denying it. I’ll keep reminding you.
I feel it's time to end this debate. I think we all pretty much agree that it isn't a good idea to rat out colleagues. Please don't give me some unusual example where someone does something so outrageous that you feel the need to expose it.
James - 10:01 can't stop the fucking crying about it while trying to rationalize her own ratting and deplorable behavior. It's disgusting.
@10:01 - I'll keep reminding you that you're a liar and deplorable for ratting out your colleagues on a daily basis to curry favor for yourself.
Enough already. We got the point.
@10:01 You know that the NY Post reads this blog and you're on here bragging that teachers get paid to do nothing but babysit, you don't teach, and you all don't care about the kids. WHAT?? You've thrown the entire profession under the bus.
Seriously James, how is this ok? Very embarrassing.
I can't win. I am either anti-First Amendment or I am letting things that reflect poorly on us through.
Basically, I will stick by the blog guidelines.
