A decision on when and whether to reopen sleepaway camps in New York will come next week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday.
“We have to have a decision in about a week,” the governor told Jay Oliver on Long Island News Radio.
Cuomo said state health officials are still researching the rare Kawasaki-like inflammatory disease that has sickened more than 100 children before making a decision.
“I’m making that decision as if it were my daughter,” Cuomo said. “Today, I would not be willing to send my daughter to sleep-away camp. If I’m not sending my daughter, I’m not going to tell you you can send your child.”
Day camps across the state are allowed to open June 29, though health guidelines have not yet been issued.
Wait another week???? Thats what they said last week! The camps need time to prepare. The parents need time to prepare. The kids need a plan in place. This political agenda has gone way too far! Many camps are requesting antibodies testing. Why hasn’t that been the case yet for our camps? Why are the local doctors not sending kids for the tests? (And why they never tested kids for Covid to begin with….?) This would be the only possible indicator (it isn’t perfect but it’s a start) to giving us an idea of if our kids will be safe… Read more »
I received an email from Camp Emunah stating that campers have to have proof of antibodies or a negative test and quarantine the two weeks prior to camp.
Just call your camp “a riot”, then you can do whatever you want.
There is no reason not to open up. These 100 cases happened a few weeks ago and it didn’t explode into a bigger problem. Thousands of youth have been exposed to each other in extreme close proximity with these riots. Wake up and smell the coffee. Quarantine is OVER
Who in the community would you like to lose next? Whose bubbe or zeide are you ok with giving up?
He is just pushing us off the whole time.
its fine to riot and hundred are protesting what corona went to sleep for week…. wedding we cant have levya he made a big deal.
whats wrong with them? the mayor and the governor are just 2 clowns.
Don’t call them clowns. Call them what they are: evil tyrants.
What these dem politicians fail to understand is that they do not control people’s lives.
He wouldn’t send his daughter, great, don’t. Same for anyone who isn’t comfortable, last I checked, no one is forcing anyone to go to camp.
Explain to people what the risks are, recommend guidelines, and let people decide how they want to live their lives.
Too radical?
your line of thinking is way too logical. doesn’t jive with liberal thinking
