There were more than 67,300 units available in July across the city as it tries to rebound from the coronavirus outbreak.

My friend does real estate in Queens & Brooklyn. He said it’s a ghost town. He has a few peeps scooping up awesome apartments for a steal.

So i was on a Zoom video call last evening with my school district. This video call was geared towards K-5 students who can attend school in the fall full time or elect a fully remote option. This call was for the community to ask questions of the administrators and for them to share the re-opening plans on Long Island. They are doing there best to work within the CDC and NYS Health guidelines.

Some highlights:
All the kids desks (k-5) have Plexiglas on the front of the desk and on the left and right sides. Each desk is at least 3 feet apart from the rest
Masks all the time except for "mask breaks" from time to time
PE is cool as long as the kids play in gym class 12 feet apart.
Same goes for Music class Art class and Lunch
Walking down the hallway is single file up against the wall (this remind of the Pink Floyd, "Another Brick in the Wall" video)

One of the parents or teachers on the call (I couldn't make the distinction) suggested the kids wear full Plexiglas face masks all day long. WTF. If we are going down that rabbit hole, lets just send our kids to school in full Hazmat suites!!

I spoke to the principal today, very nice lady and doing her best. I told her that my daughter has been in soccer camp with 200 kids (rotating) each week (in 30 kids sessions indoors in Smithtown NY) and not one of them has gotten sick!!!! Not ONE kid in over a month of close contact. She was relieved to hear that and somewhat surprised.

There is so much paranoia out there. We are close to ludicrous insanity levels among some parents.

Conversely, I just had my first soccer practice this past Saturday with my own team that I coach: 7 kids, no masks, but I had to wear a mask as I ran around and taught the kids. The smile on all there faces, seeing their friends for the first time in months was priceless. The parents hung around and they had the same feeling; how great it is to get back to some normalcy. When I spoke to them after, they all agreed that we have to get back to normal and the masks are BS.

I, of-course felt like sh!t after practice and coaching them because I had a mask on that got stinky, sweaty and disgusting! That lasted for about an hour.

I get that most on NYAngler's here have older kids who are not in school anymore and are pretty much adults at this point. Most of you are retired and none of this effects you too much. Except for perhaps your grandkids.

For the sake of our future youth, this absolutely sucks. There are no good solutions. Plexiglas barriers and computer remote learning; all day; limited social engagement in Art, Music, History.. all gone. No more mud dances or playing in the rain with freinds.

This is how a society gets destructed.

You need to step up guys and protect the kids.
You need to grab your balls again and step up and help us figure out a way forward together. You are the greatest generation ever... help us and our kids figure this out and charge ahead.

Thank you!

Was there anything in particular were you thinking of?

The ONLY risk-free way to protect the kids and all of humanity, is mass vaccination. Anything else is weighing the cost of human life vs the costs of social and economic disruptions. This is the a topic that few will want to address head on, "People will die, it is what it is."

Beyond vaccination, the old trifecta of masks, social distancing and hygiene is all we got. I'm doing my part there and have been since March. I'm unsure as to how scratching my balls will help the vaccination process. Even though I'm retired, between good scratches I've been doing some consulting regarding testing for a managed care organization. That helps I guess...

It doesn’t really help Dom. In fact, you actually remind me of my ex-father-in law. Great guy. Full of high sentence, but a little bit obtuse. To quote TS Elliot.

he was a former EVP in nyc has a few 100 million in the barn.

Ps: your trifecta is all wrong. What works is exposure.

And can be fatal. What level of fatality is acceptable?

Wait in a previous post you said that the over 70 population were at the greatest risk. Do any or all of your soccer players have grandparents?

Do you understand that because of what we did and are doing we are reducing the risk. Do you see the states that didn't do it and are still not doing it having a huge increase in cases and deaths? It seems pretty simple what to do but clearly you feel its too difficult. This is why we have to close indoor dining etc... because we have the way to mitigate it but people don't believe it. So reap what is sown.

Kevin-do have any kids? Are you a parent,?

Probably not. So in this instance just stfu

You would be wrong. Listen Snowflake If you want me not to comment don't post stupid stuff. Don't post in a... now get this... PUBLIC FORUM.
What does me having kids or not, have to do with anything anyway? How about this I have a parent that is over 80 years old and I don't want your symptom less kid infecting my mom. So you can STFU or don't post in a PUBLIC FORUM.

Clearly more people disagree with you than agree with you in regards to social distancing and masks. That is why we needed to shut things down. Its real simple Don, wear the mask keep your distance diligently wash your hands. If the entire country did this we would likely be on the downward cycle of this like MOST OF THE WORLD. But keep listening to the president and keep getting your panties in a bunch.

Curious as to why there were only 7 kids at soccer practice. As long as I can remember (and i started soccer at 5ys old) there are 11 that make up a team. Did the smart parents know better and keep their kids safe while the reckless parents put their kids at risk?
