So open schools with measures such as four days a week (Mon-Thursday); day care through grades 7-8; buildings/buses disinfected daily; staff above 60 saty away for now; children given sanitizer a few times daily; temps checked at door. cc @RichAzzopardi @melissadderosa
In addition to the above measures, think of a school that has 20-30 students per class. Starting NOW, split classes in two. Two days a week for each half. It gives children 2 days a week of a sane setting with half their classmates and it keeps the school less crowded for now.
Of the 16K+ statewide deaths, there are almost no deaths in those who are under the age of 20. As of yesterday, this group was 0.048% of deaths in NY. In 2017-2018 flu across the US this age group was 1% deaths; 20 times more! “But Yossi they are carriers.” True, so you think
that for the last 6 weeks they did not leave home; pick up Corona and brought it back to Mom/Pop with whom they sit for hours daily? Better to be away more. For the 1,000’s of time, NY was shutdown when Cuomo expected that 1 million cases will lead to 30K - 40K ICUs at Apex.
The antibodies test suggests that at least 2.7 million had it already as of last week yet/but ICU high point was 5,100. In simple English this means that ICU Apex was 90% lower than feared! Test of pregnant women also suggests that a large portion of NY had it. These tests need
to count for something. Does it mean ease up now on 90% of your lockdown plans? No but rollback 25% of it NOW. These lockdowns are leading to mental breakdowns/meltdowns and much more. Was it needed 4-6 weeks ago because you didn’t know more? Maybe, but now you clowns know!
