The vaccine may save New York from the continued ravages of the virus, but that doesn’t mean the city’s operations will instantly enter a whole new phase like a new page in a book.
This week, all public schools in New York have been reorganizing their systems for one year due to the Epidemic. The so-called reorganization of the system includes the cancellation of all students attending school in the early stages and replacing them with online teaching, but the online teaching operation alone, from the configuration of teachers and students, the selection of computer assignments, the design of the curriculum to the real establishment of a new teaching track, has stumbled and stumbled for more than two months, and the battle has been corrected as it goes. The students simply “earned an extended spring break” when they stopped coming to school two weeks before classes. And all the changes, and more in the unknown, gradually and anxious, and then resigned to the situation pushed forward.
Once the campus was closed by the epidemic, the impact was widespread, not only for the two to three million students and teachers, but also for the school’s original relief mechanism for low-income families. The state and city of New York were initially pulled in two directions to make a decision on whether to close schools. The other side is the school staff. Given that schools have traditionally borne the brunt of the spread of the flu virus, and since pneumonia is more contagious this Time, it means they will also bear a higher risk to their lives and health, the teachers’ union requested early on that the New York Department of Education should close the campuses as soon as possible.
After that, the debate on whether to close the school campus, with the rapid increase of the local epidemic in New York, there is no doubt that many Parents are in the normal moment of going out on Sunday, received the school administration forwarded to the Department of Education notice, announced that the next day from the public school completely closed to school, so many people (especially parents have to go out to work) immediately because the record is not ready and momentarily at a loss. “Fortunately, the epidemic has apparently gotten out of hand, and New York officials had to issue a work-at-Home order, from maintaining 75% of the company’s staff at work, to maintaining 50% and then 100% of the workforce at home, and the non-essential workforce is all in home-based mode, which is only a change within a week. However, the reversal of the order of school, company line, home study, and work added to the initial confusion of adaptation for New York families for no apparent reason.
New York, which has been hit by the epidemic, has been spinning for almost a full year, and the overall economy has been devastated, not to mention the number of diagnoses, deaths, unemployment, store closures, suicides, and a surge in mental hospitals. I am afraid that no previous case can be compared to the damage caused by this epidemic and the length of the setback period. It’s one thing to see the best commercial areas emptying out, but the image of trucks moving out more and more frequently in some of the newest urban communities adds to the psychological pressure of those who choose to stay, or those who can’t leave for a while, and it’s easy to wonder if they’re running behind.
Even though the vaccine has been available for some time, the number of diagnoses per day in New York State is still in the range of 6,000 to 7,000, but in any case, it is better than the peak of tens of thousands of diagnoses that was about to enter the same period last year. The problem is that the beginning of the “reconstruction” is a new system of mapping, many companies still choose to wait and see, and did not immediately restore the original state of the office, as for the original public schools closed their campuses, the impact of the existing teaching operations in addition to the disruption, the distribution of student-teacher ratio are also all “new “In addition to the old school buildings, many teachers left their jobs or moved to live with their families in other states, and during the online classes, although some students were gradually opened to classes on a limited basis (usually two days a week), overall, only one-third of the original teaching environment, both hard and soft, was able to operate. Now that the epidemic has subsided a bit, and parent organizations want to open the campus as soon as possible, the online teaching system was not able to cope with the situation, and now I am afraid that the teachers will not be able to return quickly.
In addition to the campus, which is an inevitable part of any modern city, the megalopolis still has a lot of details to go back to, and each area has its own set of problems. The new Biden administration’s most optimistic projection is that, with current medical resources, the entire country will be able to be vaccinated by May 1 of this year, thus hopefully putting a real end to the continued ravages of the epidemic by this summer, but that doesn’t mean the city will be operating like a new page in a book, and the cost of the past year will take some time to be repaid.
