CANADIAN REPORT AFTER SARS-1 SAYS FOLLOW THE SAFETY; 1 NYC SCHOOL CLOSES FOR COVID AFTER 19 CASES

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.

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.

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.

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!

@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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
