The city shut down an Astoria public school for 10 days due to a COVID-19 outbreak among students and teachers.
The Department of Education closed the doors of P.S. 166 The Henry Gradstein School beginning Wednesday after 25 positive cases were reported in the last seven days. All classes are being held remotely during the 10-day closure, which ends on Nov. 19.
According to DOE data, 22 students and three staff members tested positive for COVID-19 from Nov. 3 through Nov. 9.
P.S. 166 is only the second school to be fully closed due to a COVID-19 outbreak since the start of the school year. The first was in East Harlem.
The DOE aimed to reduce the number of school closures — which parents said interrupted their childrens’ learning last school year — when it introduced a new COVID-19 policy this term.
The current policy states that schools will only be closed when the city’s health department determines that there is “widespread transmission” in the school. The DOE, however, doesn’t specify how many cases determine the threshold for widespread transmission.
Previously, the DOE shuttered school buildings for two weeks when at least two unrelated coronavirus cases were confirmed. The policy resulted in frequent closures, which parents said created instability and confusion for young students.
The policy change appears to have resulted in fewer interruptions thus far.
Prior to a full closure, the DOE shuttered several classrooms at P.S. 166, meaning full classes of students and their teachers were quarantining and learning remotely.
Since classes began on Sept. 13, there have been 37 total positive cases among the 975 school members — both students and staff — at P.S. 166.
This school already had 15 staffers test positive and Porter kept this "gold standard" going for another 8 weeks. Even more deranged is that a vax short bus was going to stop by PS 166 to get kids inoculated for and I quote Dr. Davey Fauci Jr. "extra layer of protection"

The PCR tests are total bullshit. The students are at statistically zero risk from Covid. The teachers can go home and have a head cold for a few days, assuming they even get symptomatic.
If a "vaccine bus" shows up at a school, parents should tip it over. Vaxing children is monstrous. They are at FAR more risk from the vax than they are from Covid. When is this mental derangement going to end?
Want to have fun with the vax? Go to Google. Type in "died suddenly." Go to the News section and select for past month. Then start scrolling through the stories of people "dying suddenly." And then keep scrolling. And scrolling. And scrolling.
If you don't like lockdowns or forced vax, then you ain't black!

That's something you should ask your psychiatrist Mr. BlindManOfZOG.
I thought the pandemic was over. Everyone's feeling giddy, no? I even went to an advertised dance a few days ago in Queens and no one wore a mask.
@The PCR tests are total bullshit.
Actually they are fraudulently being used for diagnosing the Wuhan virus.
They are lab tests not designed for this type of activity.
From what I can tell the cult is using these tests for DNA collection not diagnosing anything.
CDC/FDA will drop PCR tests as of January 2022. Why?

Look pal, I changed my handle in a good faith effort to stop triggering your one-note parrot routine. So knock it off already and accept your "victory" graciously. It's like dealing with a snot-nosed fifth grader. Grow up, and grow a pair. The adults would like to move on to other things.
