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.
Let’s all be scared!
Or let’s all be vigilant.
Let me guess, you’re going to ask me how many boosters I’ve had as if that’s some kind of gotcha.
Hey, be afraid if you think that is the right way.
What part of “let’s all be vigilant” confuses you?
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?
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.
