There were 213 nuc cases at 2pm now were at 269. Whole state over 600

And De Blasio is STILL refusing to close New York City schools.

Dude, I get that it will cause logistical problems.  Figure it out.  You can't leave the biggest collection of Petri dishes in the city open because subway and healthcare workers will have to find a babysitter for their kids.  We regularly close schools for weeks and months at a time and somehow the healthcare infrastructure doesn't collapse every June.

As it is, it was irresponsible not to have closed the schools sometime last week.

Some states in germany closed school for most, but kept child-care for childs which parents work in critical infrastructure. I think this is a decent compromise.
