White Plains Community Gathering of Remembrance & Hope closed with the Youth Bureau Community Youth Court Students reading names and bios of 50 victims of 9/11 which crystalized for many in attendance the profound significance and message the victims leave for us the living: to do our part and shoulder the void their loss leaves and “strengthen up” setting the theme of drawing courage and inspiration from those who died, victims and rescuers. Lincoln’s last words of the Gettysburgh address are:

“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.“

County Executive George Latimer in his message, said , “This is a Test,” recalling how he was once very nervous about a test in school and his father telling him, “When you’re a grown man, you will be tested every day.” Mr. Latimer said the people in the Trade Center that day realizing they were trapped facing the flames, called their loved ones on their cellphones, and “told them they loved them, and will not ever see them again and told them goodbye.” They passed the test. He said the rescuers and responders who died because they went into the doomed buildings. He said some day we will all pass such tests and should draw inspiration from the sacrifice in the face of crisis emonstrated by the heroes and victims of 9/11.

Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah, said she was going to work that day and getting off the subway 20 years ago, saw people covered in ash with “looks of horror on their faces, I’d only seen in movies.” She said she then and there based on the courage, compassion and strength strangers, and first responders demonstrated that day, decided to devote herself to pursuit of justice.

300 TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID THURSDAY. HIGHEST NEW INFECTIONS SINCE APRIL 15. FLUKE OR TREND? INFECTION RATE MOVES OVER 3% IN ONE DAY.

Posted on September 10, 2021 by John Bailey

WPCNR COVID REPORT. By John F. Bailey. From the NY State Covid Tracker September 10, 2021

One week after the Labor Day holiday began, Westchester covid testing recorded 300 people testing positive for corona virus out of 9,825 tested.

It is the highest single infection day since Westchester stymied the new wave of covid in mid-April when the county recorded 291 new covid infections on April 15.

This is the first time in five months the infection number has hit the 300 mark, (132 more new cases than testing recorded the day before.)

The 300 persons found to be positive were in a testing universe of 9,825 Thursday, jumping the daily infection rate to 3.1% of those tested up from2.3% on Wednesday, September 8, when 7,262 were tested.

The growth or spread rate of yesterday is consistent with the 281 infections two weeks ago on August 26, when you divide the 300 new cases by the 281 cases on August 26, the spread rate is 1.07, meaning each of the 281 infected with Covid on August 26 if the spread rate continues in the stable zone of spread which does not exponentially expand the number of new cases, but will infect 1 other person perhaps within the next two weeks which would could mean 300 new cases from yesterday’s new persons infected.
