New York state will provide COVID-19 tests and masks in school districts amid a recent spike in cases over the summer, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced Tuesday.
The announcement also comes after the recent discovery of the BA.2.86 subvariant in New York City’s sewage, according to city officials.
Hochul’s office Wednesday said the state will conduct outreach to the Education Department and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) to determine each district’s needs for the test kits and masks, including both N95 and KN95 masks.
I’m not gonna ask you about boosters, that’s your thing
Are you going to contribute meaningfully?
I don’t think fear and panic is the way to go.
How are tests and masks fear and panic?
Test and masks against what, covid that everyone cought at least twice and most of the world got vaccinated?
Masks to prevent it spreading more, and tests to see if you have it, of course. What about it is fear and panic? Don’t digress.
In hospitals sure, but on streets, in schools? Really? Btw, why no masks last two years?
“on streets”, why there? “in schools? Really?”, yes, because, as you may know, schools have a lot of people in them for extended periods of time.
“why no masks last two years”, if you are from the US, they were pretty common, but, because of variants which were not so bad or being passed around so easily. Due to current variants, and vaccinations wearing off, we’re seeing a resurgence everywhere. A lot of people I know are currently sick, however the same policies are not being implemented and they’re being told to go to work, passing it on more.
But again, what about is it fear and panic?
Kids with masks are a beautiful sight that radiates security and calmness.
I’ve never had COVID and I don’t intend to get it if I can avoid it.
You’re being a chode.
Maybe test yourself on antibodies if you haven’t already, people get covid without symptoms.
How is it my “thing?”
Do you want me to ask you about boosters?
Do I give a shit?
I would guess no, but it was something you started with.
Because that’s what generally follows. It’s almost like I’ve been down this road many times before or something, isn’t it?
I don’t know about your road, and I’m no fan of generalization. It’s hard to talk with people online if you expect the worst from others. I would say the chance people arent shit is better than 50/50 and i would always gamble on it. Obvious trolls are obvious, the rest is more how you feel about it.
…says the person who started this by trolling with “Let’s all be scared!”
In contrast to your “Not a good sign.”
