WPCNR NEWS AND COMMENT. From New JerseyGovernor Phil Murphy August 12, 2021 updated 11:30 AM EDT:
WPCNR watched Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey conduct a state of coronavirus news conference Monday in which he took on the key issue New York Connecticut and New Jersey have to make very quickly. Right now in New York school districts are on their own in determining policy and politicians (not all) are in doubt as to what school districts should do.
The entire news conference delivered by Governor Murphy on Monday also details how persons who are fully vaccinated fare against combatting the Delta variant now ramping up new cases in New Jersey. He pointed out how persons not vaccinated are the majority of infections. The video below deals with announcement of his schools policy beginning in September. The entire video that I highly recommend viewing may be viewed at
Governor Murphy of New Jersey crystalizes the issue of opening schools in the following video below .
It is only three minutes but contains blunt truth and responsibility in his decision, in view of the inexorable spread of the Delta Variant Coronavirus in New Jersey over the summer, (also being experienced exponentially right now in Westchester County, which exceeds 4 of the 5 boroughs of New York City in the percentage of new cases or coronavirus daily:
TheNew York State Independent Redistricting Commission will be holding a final, State-wide meeting this Sunday, August 15th at 3pm for all New Yorkers to submit comment before the first draft maps are drawn. The meeting will be virtual and can be watched live on our website: www.nyirc.gov or on Facebook. Participants can register to speak or submit written comment on our website.
WPCNR COVID BULLETIN Today’s New York State Covid Tracker reports yesterday August 10, produced the most positive tests since April 21, 2021 this spring when 216 positives were reported. On Tuesday, 6,515 were tested and 215 tested positive it was the first time in the current coronavirus “Third Wave” that daily cases have gone over 200 in the current wave of infection afflicting the county. Figuring that 215 people have potential to give covid to 7 persons, this could mean in two weeks Westchester could see another 1,505 new cases. The infection has gone up to 3.3% compared to 3% Monday.
Governor Andrew Cuomo released this Covid statement this afternoon:
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state’s progress combatting COVID-19.
“As our numbers tick upward, it is more important now than ever that New Yorkers who are unvaccinated get their shot,” Governor Cuomo said. “The Delta variant is relentless and the best way to keep yourself and your loved ones safe is to get vaccinated. The vaccine is free, effective and accessible for those looking to get theirs as soon as possible.”
