That is false. Almost every state is going down including Florida and Georgia. Also in regard to indoor dining and museums you do realize there's a world outside of NYC? Dining since June on Long Island and the whole state north of the Bronx. Museums, casinos, aquariums etc. a short car ride away all open. I've been doing them all summer with my kids (well, not the casino! That had to wait till the kids went back to school last week.)<br /><br />TJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080823411092014871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-13801687654810422332020-08-31T13:48:41.646-04:002020-08-31T13:48:41.646-04:00Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think th...Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the vote today is whether or not the union will be authorized by its membership to strike if it is deemed necessary.

Even if Tom is full of shit, Mulgrew will never allow a bonafide strike. Maybe a vote, maybe a preparation - but never a strike where union dues check off or his authority are put in jeopardy.

Museums are just opening this week. Broadway has been closed, no concerts, no ballgames, no gyms, no movie theaters, no indoor dining, no tourists. Many people working from home. The infection rate has ONLY been very low because the city, especially the indoor venues have been closed for the past 6 months.<br /><br />Wherever schools have opened, there has been an increase in the rate of infection. It will be much worse in NYC since we are so crowded and so many rely on mass transit to travel.<br /><br />This is a force of nature, a microbe, that has left a "9/11 death toll" every 3-4 days for the past 6 months. Science knows very little about this virus other than it is highly contagious in indoor environments.<br /><br />If your frightened of the consequences of striking, just admit it, but don't spread misinformation about the current conditions in NYC or the very likely consequences of opening school for indoor, in-person instruction. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-76791232419345840852020-08-31T11:05:04.711-04:002020-08-31T11:05:04.711-04:00I don't believe there is a teaching shortage. ...I don't believe there is a teaching shortage.

I do understand why there is such concern and not being part of a school is like being in the twilight zone.
