.@NYCMayor, what excuse could you have for making this change other than that you are surprised at how many students are in quarantine right now. You looking bad because of all the closures does not give you the right to make our schools even less safe. 1/

This will surely overwhelm your already overwhelmed Situation Room. Even KSO parents have been asking for test to stay, not "just don't quarantine kids who clearly are at high risk of exposure." Any expert who OKs this policy does not know NYC's context. 2/
Do we have C02 monitors in every room? no
Do we have HEPA air purifiers? no
Do all schools do outdoor lunch? no
How many schools are able to have students distance at 3ft at all times? zero
Are we testing all kids/staff weekly? NOT AT ALL

Only a mayor who is motivated by his own agenda and aims would RELAX safety guidelines with 976 cases/947 closures in the first 4 days & 1 school closed due to in school spread. 4/
This move will also create chaos educationally. A classroom that would have pivoted to remote because all students are unvaccinated is now a mixture of in person & students at home. For continuity's sake this makes no sense. 5/
Does everyone understand that this means we will have more cases? It cannot mean anything but that. This is a complete failure to #ProtectTheKids, again!
end (for now)
