Andrew Cuomo: NY schools can reopen for in-person classes

All school districts across the state of New York are cleared to open, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a news conference by phone.
Schools in New York and around the country closed in the spring because of the coronavirus pandemic. The state become a global epicenter early on, but has since lowered infection rates sufficiently.
"Today is the deadline to look at the infection rates and make a determination. By our infection rates, all school districts can open everywhere in the state," Cuomo said. "Every region is below the threshold that we established."
Each district was required to submit reopening plans by this week. The state has 749 districts, and he said 127 districts have not submitted plans yet.
If infection rates spike before scheduled reopenings, Cuomo said, officials can revise plans.
"I have been deluged with calls from parents and teachers and there is a significant level of anxiety and concern," Cuomo said.
Local officials will decide the districts' reopening plans.
Cuomo's decision means that schools in New York City — the nation's largest district — have the green light for plans to conduct in-person learning several days a week.

  1. How about this, let me know when Ivanka & Jared, Kayleigh McEnany, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, and everyone else at Fox starts sending their kids back to school. I’ll wait….

    1. Because it isn’t about covid but they will quarantine kids in school just as they do in Australia and the parents will not be able to see them or bury them. Child trafficking in high gear

    2. To all you control freaks bossing people around, here’s an idea… if YOU’RE so concerned why don’t YOU quit YOUR job and apply for UI, how about just YOU wear a mask, perhaps YOU should refrain from seeing friends or family, maybe YOU shouldn’t go to bars, restaurants, concerts etc, maybe YOU should just hide in YOUR house all day, how about YOU homeschool YOUR frail little waste of śpéŕm, and stop telling ME what to do. You’re not special. YOU don’t get to tell ME, or anyone else for that matter, what is and isn’t allowed. YOU don’t wanna get sick then stay YOUR aśś at home so the rest of US can live our lives while YOU live in fear. All this shìť YOU want ME to do, how about YOU do it and leave ME alone because I am done being complacent. I am all out of sympathy. And I will not live like this until a vaccine is developed. Think you don’t have to worry about people like me snapping cause you live in a blue state well guess what? I’m from the bay area. Antifa aren’t the only ones that can build ieds. And I have lost almost all hope in my future ability to live freely. And I’m far from alone. Keep infringing on peoples rights and see what happens.

    1. onewondershow2 – We aren’t either (in NY). My kids aren’t going to be pawns ♟. I understand some people don’t have a choice and that’s horrible.

    2. @Tadiq Shahid They are your kids . . deal with it .Why should teachers and school staff risk their lives and their families because some parents use the public school system as their free childcare? FU troll .

    3. well, since hundreds of infections have already been reported, i imagine the number is gonna be large..looks like, despite what’s been recently reported, fewer people care about kids than i realized………….

    1. EU Population=~445.2 million
      EU Cases=1,461,441
      EU Deaths=136,863
      Percent infected= ~0.39%
      Chance of death after infection=~9.37%
      https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/cases-2019-ncov-eueea
      U.S.
      U.S. Population=~329 million
      U.S. Cases=4,802,491
      U.S. Deaths=157,631
      U.S. Nursing home deaths=~60,000 (Several Governors violated CDC guidelines by forcing nursing homes to accept COVID-19 infected clients)
      U.S. Percent infected=~1.46%
      U.S. Chance of death after infection=~3.28%
      U.S. Tests performed=65,756,307 (approximately Twice as many as the EU)
      Calculated guesstimates:
      1. If EU did as many tests as the U.S., reports might show 0.78% of the EU population infected.
      2. If several US governors followed CDC guidelines and did not force their nursing homes to accept Covid-19 positive clients, then the current US deaths might look more like 97,631.
      https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html
      https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/almost-half-of-us-covid-19-deaths-are-linked-to-nursing-homes/

      In regards to children most are asymptomatic vectors (commonly conflated with immunity). To date there are approximately 80 US deaths for those under the age of 18. How do we balance risks?

    2. You haven’t been watching the news lately there are thousands of parents already sending their kids back to school and they’re already getting sick!

    3. To all you control freaks bossing people around, here’s an idea… if YOU’RE so concerned why don’t YOU quit YOUR job and apply for UI, how about just YOU wear a mask, perhaps YOU should refrain from seeing friends or family, maybe YOU shouldn’t go to bars, restaurants, concerts etc, maybe YOU should just hide in YOUR house all day, how about YOU homeschool YOUR frail little waste of śpéŕm, and stop telling ME what to do.

    1. @D N A it’s actually 94% but the COVID-19 still scars the lungs. Which is something the flu *DOESN’T DO*

    2. @Kenny Michael Alanya BS. So does bronchitis smoking and air pollution? Anything that cause swelling leaves a scar.

    3. CAN Y’ALL GET IT TOGETHER PLEASE
      WHY is everybody counted as https://youtu.be/rnzwnGDB3iE

      https://youtu.be/olz03OPeijM
      Covid fatality
      https://youtu.be/Il9e_ZboCW4So

      https://youtu.be/A1yUrKAqJtY

      https://youtu.be/-2S3iY7MBK0
      Why do nurses like this above get deleted from YouTube in mass
      https://youtu.be/Z_GLaYFzWHI
      Why do doctors get threatened to lose their license if they don’t list covid as a fatality

      Forward to 14 min in this video  if you don’t want to watch the whole thing that will tell you how fake mainstream media is
      https://youtu.be/2OTmzXsF0fA
      I am not involved in politics I don’t vote. 150000 fatalities if the numbers are true which they can’t be the way they are counting them is still not much. 600000 people die each year of cancer
      600000 of heart attacks
      250000 of iatrogenic causes(death by medicine)
      we had SARS and MERS also highly infectious coronaviruses with a fatality rate from 9% all the way up to 35% and nobody wore a mask covid is a 0.1%. according to fauci English Journal of Medicine
      1.4 million people died globally of tuberculosis in 2018 and nobody wear a mask amongst those 250000 children you can find this on World Health Organization website.
      If the hospitals were overrun with frigerator trucks ect. how many fridgerator trucks would we need for all the cancer patients heart attacks and patients that died of iatrogenic causes . Cancer-causing herbicides, pesticides ,fungicides, insecticides and GMO all remaining on the market. The biggest contributor to heart attack , hydrogenated oil . allowing hydrogenated oil Crisco still on the market. I just gave your number of approximately 1.5 PEOPLE each year in the US alone dying of these above named . where are the refrigerator trucks for those people. And where are the overrun hospitals. if you do a little bit of History you can find out what happened to the Native Americans that are hardly to exist now. If I was you I would pay close intention.
      because people believe this is supposedly so bad they going to force vaccinate all of us they were trying to pass the Bill HR 6666 to come to people’s home and remove the sick rather rather  children people’s pets anything grandmothers ect. They didn’t pass the bill this time but they going to keep trying.. Ammon Bundy already put out a video on what are they planning to do with our children just like they remove the children from the Native Americans and now got most of their land. This man had a 40-day standoff (at a wildlife resort )with the government he was facing a hundred years cause of one death getting farmers land back they won
      Check this out what are they planning to do with or children below
      THIS SHOWS YOU THE ELITE WANT OUR LAND . AND WANT US IN SO CALLED SMART CITIES CRAMPED UP SO THEY HAVE MORE FOR THEMSELFS. this is just the beginning( we will have more outbreaks of other very deadly diseases to come according to them if y’all keep going for this). And because of those there will be a whole bunch of new laws rules and regulations stricter than ever. we already had food shortages people already got killed in hospitals for being intubated too early overmedicated ect. and all those doctors and nurses who speak out against this are getting deleted WHY. The link below will raise some questions for you. they took the children from Native Americans put on western clothing and put them in Catholic schools tought them Christianity which was not the original believe.
      What AUTHORITY they are acting on .So here I am to ask YOU ALL
      WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING TO DO WITH OUR CHILDREN.???

    3. @Robert taylor Nothing says peaceful protest, like a brand new TV I carried out of the front window of Target, while the building burnt to the ground!!!

    1. too late: the infections are being reported – starting withthat sleepaway camp in Georgia where, out of 344 tested, 260 tested positive – and out of that 260, 51% were ages 6-10..it has already started……..

    2. Yep, the IDIOT Mayors and Governors finally realized that with everything shut down … their TAX rolls also collapsed. PLUS a significant number of parents decided home schooling has massive advantages.

  2. Soon after schools open NY is going to be a huge hot spot again and children will be dying. What a stupid governor.

    1. @nigella4me there is a higher statistical risk of kids dying in a car accident on the way to school, than from dying of covid. Stop the paranoia! its unhelpful…

    2. @Wyatt Bowen A 6 year old Caucasian baby died today in Florida of covid. I said Caucasian because I know it makes a difference to you.

    3. Lmaohahayoudead …The only reason we’re opening schools up in my state is because we did a reasonably good job lowering infection rates. Not so in those other states south of us. I trust my district to open safely, They’ve sent the tentative plan out already. Believe me, the first sign of spread and we go back to online 100%

    4. Alison Friedman …That I agree with. The little ones need to be in as much as possible, if they can spread them out. Communicate with your district–good luck!🍎

  3. If I still have small children I never send them to school at moment . Just carefully families send your child go school please .

    1. @Michelle Albarello You have been on this world for HOW LONG? What is your “Greatest Accomplishment”? Well other than spouting Horse Manure on YouTube?

    2. He said he would…many times. Do you people even listen to yourselves?!? Do you do any any research at all or is CNN gospel? I’m not saying Trump is clean but damn…..get a clue!

    3. @Michelle Albarello : Obama didn’t own the golf courses he played on. Trump pays himself to golf with taxpayer $$.

    1. darrionj707 then u go IRDC it’s a choice but your putting your self at danger but hey your life not mine do what u please

    2. PANDEMIC?!?! where the dirtiest, famished, sleeping in piss, bagging, homeless people won’t die? Maybe schools should reopen on the curb, where it seems their immune system will be rock solid🤣

    3. they lost billions when the pandemic shut down the schools in March: even if it means putting everyone at risk, they don’t intend to lose any more..don’t believe the hype: it’s no different than a sales pitch you get in a retail store..the salesperson is looking to ”make the sale”, so they’re gonna leave out any down sides to your purchase and play up all the good points..this is exactly what’s happened here – except i’d use the word ”leverage” to ‘encourage parents to send their children back to school..their advantage is the A.D.A. – the amount of money each school district gets for students being marked present..and now, if a child gets sick from this virus, they’ll excuse the absence and get their money anyway..it’s been a scam all along – one easily pulled off when you’re on the outside looking in..i was once on the inside: i know what this is about…….

  4. Special education teacher here. Resigned today. Had this crap in March I’m not getting it again. Goodbye public school 🏫 I’m going private
