I don't think I have to tell you what happens if this continues for 7 days ...

He should just shut Brooklyn down if that's the case...shutting us down in SI makes no sense at all
Teachers were out and about doing whatever before school started now all of a sudden are testing positive, the Jewish community just doesn't want to wear masks in Brooklyn. Cuomo said he wants to kids in school because that's where they belong
Totally unbelievable and again what happens going forward is out of our hands. People yell and scream that children need and deserve in person teaching but they refuse to take the necessary precautions to make that a reality.
And as we have learned in the past they will not shut down borough by borough instead they will shut down the entire school system.
ITS GOING TO BE A LONG YEAR !!!!
It's the orthodox Jewish community, the Hasidic Jews. They don't believe in masks and they will not get a vaccine. So what's gonna happen with the drivers that have to take them to and from school after a vaccine has been out? Wasn't there an issue with them with a measles outbreak?
its not looking good already.. and its a direct effect of the jewish community again....
There are a 145 zip codes in NYC and because 9 of them had a % over 3 for one day the talk of closing down the entire school system has already started. SMH!!!
Actually if you have been watching the numbers it has slowly been ticking upward. Before Labor Day we were under 1 percent this past Monday we were 1.93 percent and Today 3.25. Let's hope it settles down quickly. I would hate to think what there numbers were because they brought the city wide average to over 3 percent. Meaning Brooklyn and Queens
DeBlasio stated today although there's upticks in Brooklyn they don't see an uptick in the schools in that area and don't have concerns closing any schools

Ernie was told yesterday morning that everybody's benefits should be reinstated within 48 hours ... which would be some time tomorrow, Thursday.
(I don't know why it's taking so long ... say they were waiting for attendance sheets.)

Ernie says NO. And if a kid does have a temperature you cannot take them back to the stop. It's up to the school to handle that situation.
(If a teacher gives you a hard time, I would advise that you don't argue but contact dispatch.)

As per Ernie, your assumption is correct ... though for the life of me I can't figure out why if our benefits are retroactive to the 1st.
Questioned it several times then I just gave up. Makes no sense to me.

Ernie told me previously the card would be the same.
When you log into your account it shows the same member and group ID numbers ... but says "Inactive."
