MULGREW'S LATEST COVID-19 EMAIL

Michael Mulgrew is already looking to the next admimistration but there are four more school days with the current administration. Will next week be safe? New York State reported its largest positive COVID day of the entire pandemic.

From NBC 4:

And in New York City, where testing lines have wrapped around blocks and people report wait times well over an hour, 10,286 positive cases were reported Friday. That total is up 20% from the previous day, and 100% from two days earlier. It's also the highest reported testing day for the city since the beginning of the pandemic, and the first time the city saw more than 10,000 cases in a single day.

Further down:

The city's rolling daily case average is up almost 57% over the rolling averages for the previous four weeks and COVID hospitalizations are up nearly 31%. Delta is the variant believed to be fueling the spike in more severe cases, while omicron is thought to be behind the surge in infections. Both are called "variants of concern."

Some are talking sickout in the schools. Much of Broadway is shutting down again because of positive cases. I think we need to hear more from Mulgrew than what we are calling for in January. Please be careful everyone.

Today's email:

Dear ________,

I’m writing to you today about a concern we all share as most important: our safety and the safety of our school communities.

The recent surge in COVID cases in New York City is coming at a challenging time when one administration is winding down and a new one is coming in. The Situation Room is struggling to keep up with the growing number of reports of positive cases in schools that it needs to respond to. We have been pushing for more staff in both the Situation Room and the test and trace units, and the city has agreed to increase staffing by the new year.

Given the contagiousness of the Omicron variant and the surge in positive cases, we need the next administration to reset and restore focus immediately.

Here is what we are pushing the next administration to do:

Increase in-school testing: We believe the current situation calls for an increase in in-school testing of both staff and students, regardless of vaccination status, so we can better detect the virus in our schools before it has a chance to spread. We need access to at-home tests for both staff and students. We also are pressing the DOE to work to increase the opt-in rate for student testing.

Respond faster to reports of positive cases: There needs to be a rapid response to positive cases so all isolation and quarantine protocols can be put in place quickly. Again, the Situation Room must be fully staffed to be able to handle the increased need for school investigations. Delayed notifications of positive cases in schools put our school communities at risk. Here is how the process is currently designed to work >>

Create a clear standard for what triggers a school to go fully remote: Currently, the DOE has set out specific thresholds that trigger a schoolwide investigation, but the decision to close a school building is left to the discretion of the Situation Room. Given how quickly the Omicron variant spreads, we need clear standards and protocols.

Share school COVID reports with school staff: School staff need more transparency about what’s happening in their workplace. Right now, when a COVID case has been confirmed in a school, parents receive a daily email from the Situation Room that indicates the number of positive cases and the number of partial and full classroom closures in the school. School staff should have access to those same email reports.

Encourage student vaccination: The science is clear: The more students who are vaccinated, the safer our schools will be.

If your school has an outbreak that you suspect is not being addressed properly by the Situation Room, your chapter leader should alert your district rep immediately. We have a rapid response protocol set up so the information will go straight to the Situation Room, and we will follow up so appropriate action is taken.

We encourage every one of you to get the booster shot as soon as possible. Medical experts agree that the booster is your most effective defense against the new variant.

Thank you for your work during this tumultuous time. Let’s all focus on getting safely to next Thursday at 3 p.m. I will be working throughout the break to keep the pressure on the city to put in place everything we need to keep our schools safe when we return.

Sincerely,

Michael Mulgrew

UFT President

  2. Don't forget the figures they are counting are only the ones tested in the schools. Are school only tests 10 percent of the students.

  3. We should be remote. If we actually tested all the students the numbers would be much higher.
    Mulgrew's email shows his complete denial of what is happening right now. Once again, why do we have to wait until January to have more safety protocall's put in place when business are telling workers to work from home, broadway, NFA, NBA etc are shutting down. Yet we have colocations with 1 school closed but the other open? They share the bathrooms, gym, lunchroom, pass in hallways. We are going to get sick.

    Will we get covid pay twice in one school year if we get a different variant?

  4. Saturday’s Browns-Raiders game, as well as the Eagles-Washington and Seahawks-Rams games scheduled for Sunday, were set to be postponed amid coronavirus outbreaks among the Cleveland, Washington and Los Angeles rosters. These would be the first postponements of the NFL season, but the NHL and NBA have also dealt with schedule changes related to the recent spike.

    NFL, Google, Apple. We will be last to shut down while this rages out of control again.

  6. POS DeBlasio -Union needs to step up. NYCDOE is at 1 percent because of very,very limited testing. MUlgrew needs to do something now. We did not go into this profession to keep risking our lives. This has to stop.

  7. The state that was global epicenter of #COVID19, w/ nation's most populous/densest city, is now reporting more cases than at any point during the #pandemic. But instead of a call to stop the spread, there are calls to travel/spend/consume. This is after 825K+ nationwide deaths.

  8. Day 5 of the DOE putting out incorrect school covid numbers.

    DOE reports: 370 student cases, 174 staff.

    Actual numbers: 543 students, 265 staff. (And that’s likely not right either.)

    1000s of new cases a week in schools. Weak mitigations. And the plan is just to let it rip.

  9. lol the vaccines suck!!!! How do you know if you have the flu, or covid since the PCR test is beyond faulyu. LOok how many professional athletes are getting it.

    Omicron is not even deadly its a mild case. The vaccinated are the ones who are becoming more susceptible not the unvaccinated.

  10. There’s no way DeBalsio will go back to remote next week (4 days) and 2 weeks left on his watch—unless Hochul over rules. There are some Nassau County school districts that are closed and plan to reopen January 3. Good luck with that.
    Real battle will be between Hochul and Adams come January 3–as Mulgrew will simply say the same old stuff—need for more testing etc.—and little has been done about adequate testing since this all started. And in the meantime, numbers are surging. Broadway shows, Rockettes, local college sports canceled and who knows what else in the upcoming days—especially in the NY Metro region.

  11. This is a complete denial of the effects of covid by government and the complete failure of our union to protect us.

    The belief that this only effects the unvax is wrong. I had a breakthrough case of delta covid in September. I was fully vax. I did not end up in the hospital. What I still have is intermittent pain in my chest. It is very uncomfortable and feels like pain and pressure and someone pushing on my chest when I breath. Why is every few seconds. It can last a few hours. My pulmonologist knew exactly where the pain was located as he keeps seeing this. Dr. said he doesn't know if it will ever go away. Dr. did confirm that the mask does restrict my breathing and abilty to take a deep breathe so this exacerbates the pain and encourages it to occur.


    My point in sharing this is that while vax people may not die from covid this does not mean that they will not have long term effects from it. The city schools at least mine still have very poor ventilation in hallway and stairwells. Not the city or union has addressed this. I was very healthy before getting covid and never ever had this pain.

    I do not wish to see anyone fully vax or not have this long term effect happen to them. It is not fun. It does not feel good. The fact that the mayor and union downplay the effects shows to me that they do not know anyone with long term covid effects. Saying it is a disease of the unvax is wrong. Denying or downplaying the effects of covid on the vaxxed is also wrong.

    The mayor says they follow the science and listen to the doctors. Surviving should not be the only determining factor for keeping schools open. Again, I do not wish this intermittent pain on anyone and effects of covid on the fully vax should not be ignored.

  12. Let me tell you something: I teach in Harlem and I was diagnosed with covid this week. The concept of "breakthrough cases" is total bullshit. I am the 3rd teacher this year at my school who got covid even though we are all vaccinated.

  13. 857... how bad is your case. My vaxxed brother was sick for two days, better after that. Recovered by day 5. Nothing dramatic. Like a mild flu.

  14. Sorry to hear...lots of cases at my school as well. What will it take for more
    people to realize we are being lied to?? The so called conspiracy theorists predicted this. Wake up!
    I questioned the bullshit narrative
    Awhile back. As for me,.I have an exemption from the shot and have been working from home. Yesterday, I get the email to report to a building to continue to offer remote teaching.why now with the surge? Images no sense except to punish.yes I know it was in the agreement.but if someone is doing their job at home effectively and won't be given different responsibilities that demand in person reporting, why do that, especially at this time? It would make sense if they needed me for another role.
    I work in D75.Thete is no such thing as distancing due to the nature of that job unless u sit at your desk all day.many kids can't mask. One staff member works in a room where no staff mask.i don't feel sorry for her because she didn't mask despite repeated admin reminders to do so.
    The testing this year is a sham.in my opinion, it is possible to have in person learning in the warmer weather with open windows and less spread.During colders times, remote can be planned for all. For staff and students who want to reporting in, ok.
    There should be a remote option as well.that way doe doesn't have to pay for both home and remote staff.the centers seemed like a good idea...
    Just curious, will we be going back to covid hotels under Adams?Adam's? Saddens me that the kids get sick.
    Previous poster called it right.breakthrough is bullshit.the shots are BS.how many more Kool aid drinks will u take before people wake up to the truth? It has nothing to do with covid.
    Diblockhead started the surge with his relaxing restrictions on tourists visiting ny without testing during holiday season of crowds!I stated then that this would happen due to this.crowded parades.crowded ny eve.it will get worse in jan.
    For those who still blame the unvaxxed:how is it our fault when we are excluded from all venues that we cause the spread??and many cases in fully vaxxed events even after pre-screening as well.
    Stay safe!if it's even possible...

  15. An article in the Post today criticizes principals and the chancellor for not informing them about the tiktok threats until last minute when their kids were already in school. Obviously, the principals waited because they didn't want their attendance figures to drop.

  16. As usual, the City response is a complete shit show. My school is having an outbreak. I thought I was sharing some wild news with friends and in other schools and their schools have triple the cases. I can't find a test ANYWHERE. And to add insult to injury, to support our needs the DOE sent an emergency testing unit to our school, but because we did not know in advance most teachers had not consented via the "health screening form" so we didn't make the cut, and the unit sat there not testing anyone because most students weren't even in the building.

    And here's the other kicker regarding remote - there was supposed to be a plan for per session for supporting the students and the school says they can't implement it because they don't know to code it. So for lack of a code the students can't be supported. And they say it's the teachers who are the problem?? What a joke. If you have close contact just say you're feeling symptoms and stay home.

  17. UfC will probably win HS Exec board seats. The rest will be Unity. Actually Unity prefers this, as it gives Exec board greater legitimacy and gives Unity a way to coopt the opposition. When the opposition gets to sit at the table, they quickly realize that Unity is not the evil empire and issues are more complicated than they thought. Look at current opposition members on Exec board. They've all softened their tone.

  18. Even sadder. Had a student return 2 weeks ago after being out with covid for over a month. Spread it to his entire family.(All Vaccinated). Lost his dad. Why does the system keep our kids in danger. Also,why is it that every time there is testing there is never enough time to test the teachers?? One student,who appeared sick was not even tested and told she will be tested next time.

  19. 8:57 Hope your case is mild and similar to a seasonal flu which takes 5-7 to get better. Just count your lucky stars—because with no vaccines—just like in all of 2020–thousands were quite sick and hospitalized. And why there are still millions still not being vaccinated-just boggles the mind.

  20. The real problem is all these undervaccinated teachers. They need to listen to Mulgrew and get their boosters. Whoever said it was only two shots? And if they still get infected, it’s ok, There are more boosters coming.

    Anyone object to this logic? If so, you just need to follow the science.

  23. Major outbreak at my school the last 3 days!! I know of 4 teachers and at least 10 students who tested positive. These numbers are from a small school with only 20 percent testing(if that?). There has been no student social distancing and very few of the students have been wearing their masks properly or consistently this year. Administration has known this, but done nothing about it. Yesterday AP decided to put on a show and reprimand teachers who were eating lunch alone in their rooms to put their masks on, or "get a letter" in their files!! Never have they addressed the students who refuse to abide by the mask protocols. Yesterday felt surreal and completely reminiscent of March 2020. To say the administration's preparedness is inept and a total joke is generous. No plan for remote or even whether staff needs to be in school if there are class closures. Here we go again...

  26. I've had great luck with tests with NYC H&H contracted vans on SI so YMMV to how it works in other areas. Yes, after all the fear stoked by the news, and reality of more sick there will be lines.

    No appointments is a plus to me, 5 days I've used since Sept. only Fri had to wait with 5 people before me, but it was maybe 10min.

    Find location, then register. Walk up, read out your code, confirm your name and DOB, say want PCR and rapid or only PCR if you can wait. This would save them a few min and help others in line. The rapid is nice as also shows if flu A/B.

Yet there you are still whining that you have to leave the comfort of your maskless home to finally report to a building. ROFL. You can't make this shit up.

    "Right now, we live in a 24 hour, technology driven society. When "leaders" (political and otherwise), pretend that everyone has the same schedule, access to transportation, and familiarity with the process- then some constituents are left out. We live in a democracy- we all have the right to participate- not have artificial barriers put in our way."

    NYC is one of the most vaccinated cities in the world and you can’t go any business With out vaccine card

    The vaccines were sold to us as 2-dose miracle drugs that would end all shutdowns and mask mandates. Now restrictions are ramping up again because of a mild variant, and Pfizer and Moderna expect to make $93 billion in vax and booster sales in 2022. How is this not a giant scam?

  37. 5:48 - I'll go slower since you sound like a dimwit. Are you referring to whites? Because there's a much wider gap between whites and asian than there is between blacks and white.

    There is not a huuuuge disparity in the numbers between whites and blacks. But you'd want Mulgrew to solely address black people and you think that's appropriate in any case. Low level thinker. There are fewer blacks than whites, so while there is a larger percentage of blacks that aren't vaccinated, there would be more whites that aren't. So yes, the unvaccinated, ALL of them are causing the problem. Facts aren't racist. You're racist AND dumb. The dumb are a bigger problem.

  43. Mulgrew is never proactive. His response is unacceptable. We are past the "let's increase testing stage. We should be remote this week and the first 3 weeks of January. During this time they can plan on how to implement a fully effective testing system where all students and staff are tested weekly.

    Yes, there will be a new mayor but we still have 2 weeks with Debozio. Mulgrew and co need to deal with him now, today and come up with a logical plan. We are 100 vax. It is not us bringing this into the schools. Yes, children are important but our lives count too.

    Mulgrew needs to protect his members who fund his salary and protect our members. He needs to make a deal this weekend. We do not need to be in the building this week. Protect us Mulgrew. Make this about us. Put members first for once.

  44. Mulgrew is lying and spreading fake information about his Mulgrewcare Advantage plan:

    Guides sent to a quarter million retired city employees contained false information on the availability of dozens of treatments under the new plan.... Legal documents show that under the new plan, health care providers will have to get approval in advance from insurance companies before conducting certain doctor’s office visits, mental health care treatments, home health care services, and tests such as bloodwork and x-rays, along with dozens of other procedures or treatments. But the city mailed enrollment guides falsely saying that these and other treatments would not require pre-approvals to all retirees who will be covered by the new plan....

  47. 4:01 I forgive you because the way my post reads, you have a point.i should have clarified that the person who refuses to mask and got sick has been behaving this way THE ENTIRE TIME.i know this from when I was in person.Nobody in the room masked and I hated going in there.she was mad during blended learning because she had to report in when her 1:1 was out, grumbling about blaming if she got covid.she said she was worried about asthmatic family members.DESPITE THIS, SHE WOULD NEVER MASK, WENT OUT TO EAT WITH HER ASTHMATIC FAMILY AND SEEMED TO BE UNHAPPY W DOE.Despite being repeatedly told to mask from the getgo, she wore it on her chin.i am surprised it took this long to get sick.it is very unfair to others to refuse to mask.that is why I don't feel sorry.this was from the days of blended learning and mask mandates.now she has to eat her mask.i have two antimask friends.one is so antimask, she yells and I hate talking to her.uppity attitude, only would wear bandana at work(not a doe person)cuz face covering was required.both of these antimaskers got covid.do I feel sorry? No.because of her arrogance and selfish behavior.we didn't meet up one time when she said she wouldn't mask.if my safety means nothing to her, imo, that is no friendship.u
    I no longer call her.i feel sorry that her arrogance had to teach a lesson which she still didn't learn.
    So no, I am NOT on a high horse.but why report in for the same job at home.exactly the same as why should a teacher have to report when all her students were in remote learning.same question and it is a fair one.peace!

  48. https://nypost.com/2021/12/18/jumaane-williams-calls-for-nyc-schools-to-return-to-remote-learning/
    New York City’s Public Advocate says schools should immediate return to remote learning as the Omicron coronavirus variant sweeps across the city.

    “NYC schools should go remote starting Mon (should’ve been last week). A no-brainer as we near recess,” Jumaane Williams said in a tweet Saturday.

    Even as city schools report record numbers of COVID-19 cases, Mayor Bill de Blasio has resisted a return to lockdowns.

    “No no no,” he told WNYC’s Brian Lehrer on Friday when asked if he supported closing schools. “Don’t fight yesterday’s war … This is not March of 2020. We’re one of the most highly vaccinated places in the United States of America.”

    Williams, who may soon be facing de Blasio in a Democratic primary for governor, also took a swipe at the outgoing mayor — and Gov. Kathy Hochul.

  50. I don't have the patience or desire to read or hear anything Mulgrew has to say.

    I think everyone knows that governments and unions are corrupt. Please, take anything these people say with a grain of salt. The government and union people are only looking out for themselves.

    We have to do more to help ourselves. Depending solely on vaccines, pills, masks and other mandates, "experts", and the news, to stay healthy seems incredulous to me. The best shot we have at staying healthy is being healthy in the first place.

  51. MY PREDICTION: The first week of January, Adams will make student vaccinations mandatory and will also offer a remote option for families who either do not want the vaccine or for families who do not feel safe sending their already vaccinated students into school. The result will be the same as last year with over half of NYC families choosing to work remotely. However, who will be responsible for teaching the remote students is anybody's guess.

  52. @12:36 moron alert, keep getting boosters lol. CNN the network of pedos wow 4 people caught. Including Tapper and Cuomo producers, so many of you trust and listen to this sick fear mongering network.

    NOBODY HERE KNOWS IF ITS COVID OR THE FLU!!!! PCR test does not differentiate so how the hell do you know it's covid only????? I would be taking zinc, listening to Joe Rogan and not worrying about a vaccine that is 45% effective after 6 months with athelets having heart issues all around world.

  54. No one wants to work anymore. The death rates are low, those of us that are vaccinated are safe . Enough

  56. I love DeBlasio. NYC wanted progressive values and Bill came through. Only racists want nyc schools closed. Rich White kids’ schools stayed open. Rich white kids get private tutors. Racists who don’t want minority kids to learn want their schools closed. Bill knows how important in person learning is to the minority community. That’s why he wants these poor kids in the school building. I hope Adams stays tough on the adults and demonstrates the same care for children Bill does.

  57. So much for crushing the virus.

    On ABC News’ “This Week”:

    KARL: “Are we ever going to get to a point where we won’t need to wear masks on airplanes?”

    FAUCI: “I don’t think so. I think when you’re dealing with a closed space… you want to take that extra step.”

    More dead in 2021 with 3 vaccines and hundreds of millions vaccinated than in 2020 with zero vaccine use.

  58. Anon2323–But then again the Orange Clown said that Covid was just the flu and would go away by Easter Sunday in 2020.
    Biden, Fauci and other responsible government officials has always said that vaccines are the best way to protect from serious illness and hospitalization—while the Fox and right wing hosts who are fully vaccinated—tell their viewers to doubt the science and create their own theories.

    Yeah diblockhead loves minority kids and teachers that he wants them to get covid.and maybe knock out a few off the pension list.keep feeding the kids junk food lunches to kill their immunity.what planet are you on anyway?

  63. Do you all realized that you have been put on notice:you will never be considered fully vaccinated until you continue to jab forever as long as they say so.wake up!!you are being fleeced!the jab demands won't go away. They are trying to make this country like Australia.it has nothing to do with covid. Someone has to eliminate the sicko at the top to stop this death march/death train.im jewish.i don't take offense at holocaust comparisons.ir is mind control and scapegoating just like then.how is it all the fault of the unvaxxed when we have been effectively banned from venues for awhile? Like the previous poster said...more vaxxed yet far more illness.think about that.the conspiracy theory came to roost.

  65. Parent’s of students 12 and up should have been given 2 options; vaccinate or consent to test. I work in a high school with over 4,000 students. Only about 100 students have consents on file. Some of the parent’s rescinded their consent because their kids were “randomly selected” every week. That means that 3900 kids in my school alone have never been tested!
    Now the testing people won’t test the staff until they meet that 10% quota. The staff has gone completely untested for 2weeks.
    The testing protocol our union agreed to is pathetic!

  66. Didunce says schools are the safest place!anyone planning on working the evacuation centers? Haha but not really.is dunce gonna repeat his famous ny eve dance? Oh darling!save the last dance for me! Ny losers

  67. Deblasio and all his doctors, reporters etc should do his daily newsconferences from one of the "safest places to be- our schools. Instead, he does it 6 feet apart, usually along with reporters on the phone and "experts" who are at their home or alone in an office.

    Why not do it from a NYC lunchroom or classroom of 34 students? After all it's the safest place to be. They should all come in and explain how students and adults who walk crowded poorly ventalated hallways and classrooms. Yet children can't sit next to each other masked at Radio city, at Broadway shows, at sporting arenas. Students were their masks down yet don't get covid in a NYCpublic school???

    Debozo also has a bridge to sell you too. He is a POS.

  68. Those children at Radio City had to be vaccinated too, not just masked, yet the performance was still canceled.

  69. Long lines at testing sites, shortage of testing sites—which are critical for testing.
    haven’t any of the political leaders learned any of the lessons from the spring of 2020? There will probably be a mask shortage too. Not one Democrat(Biden) gets a free pass on this one as they promised a better response and preparedness with Covid. I can hear Hochul saying ‘I didn’t need any of this Covid crap-get Cuomo on the phone for me’.
    And it’s an absolute crime with the lack of testing in the NYC public schools. Mulgrew should pull all teachers out, because he is really doing a disservice to his members —in response to DeBlasio,/Adams refusing to have schools go remote—till at least the surge numbers go down.

  70. Oh but foliar said if you get the shot, you get the keys to nyc and all that it offers...never trust these people.i wouldn't be surprised if they find a reason to shut the venues and businesses down.whevever they say they won', the opposite happens.let's see their next trick in the playbook.
