Trump style.

Flip Flop? Hasn't De Blasio done NYC enough damage?

If NYC schools are closing for rest of year. They need to end sooner than end of June. Let’s be realistic with expectations now being put on parents who in some cases are still working.

What a conundrum. It'll be a huge pain to get the schools back up and running, for the kids to only be in school for a few weeks, and if they cancel the rest of the school year, how will parents be able to return to work?

Do they mean the school year or 2020?

Wow China

Don't worry, this is just a scam by a country other than the US, rest assured, we have the strongest healthcare system in the world.
