COVID Theatre
/De Blasio shuts down the schools again while admitting that they aren’t a danger.
According to the Department of Education, random internal testing of students and staffers in city school buildings consistently yielded minimal infection rates hovering around 0.15 percent.
But de Blasio has argued in recent days that adhering to the [citywide] 3 percent figure would signal his seriousness about containing the virus.
Theatre, and the teachers’ union. The public, including subway workers, store clerks, dental hygienists, and truck drivers, be damned.
