Vendors are stopped at the door with just a couple of exceptions for those that need to come in Good Shepherd is by far the best Nursing Home in BC. My Grandma lived her final years there, passing at age 98, and they were so wonderful and caring. Top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susquehanna, Bridgewater and Vestal...same people? Perhaps it's a coincidence but it kind of looks like they picked one to be their coronavirus go-to. If I'm not mistaken Hilltop and Susquehanna have fewer beds. edit- I wonder if it is also a coincidence both infected nursing homes are in Johnson City. Good shepherd doesn’t own any others. Just the Villages in Endwell, Fairview in Binghamton and Chase Memorial in New Berlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave all their employees a $2/hr raise and a free meal every day during this crisis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 A whopping $2.00 I guess that means their aides are almost making $15.00/hr. Also too bad my theory was wrong and they aren't trying contain coronavirus to 2 nursing homes because that would have actually been helpful. Instead I just heard we have another infected senior community. I won't say until I have confirmation. Speaking of.. way back when, I did my confirmation community service at Fairview under the direction of the nuns. It was nice back then.

This governor can't even save the lives of the people in nursings homes. He has perpetually neglected to address staffing issues. He isn't helping anyone. Trained personnel in hospitals and nursing homes can't contain the spread but he's going to place impossible burdens on everyone else. And toward what liability? lol Good luck proving you got the coronavirus from some business, ie a car rental. I don't see him shutting down his contaminated subway system. As I said, impossible and not practical burden on business...a saliva test taken every day when you leave work so the results come back in the morning...They expect employers to pay for this? A phone app where you must answer if you have any of the 14 known symptoms of coronavirus? I'm so sure they want employees to pay for this app. Answer or don't work? I'm kind of sleepy so I'll have to reread this tomorrow. Have a good night everyone. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-secret-group-of-scientists-and-billionaires-pushing-trump-on-a-covid-19-plan/ar-BB13h12G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Laboratory... he says New York is a laboratory. He has no right to experiment with the lives of New Yorkers without their consent. I wonder if the governor and the owners of the nursing homes are familiar with the word lebensraum because it sure does look like an ongoing conspiracy to me.

Kaz Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Today's announcement was that schools will remain closed for the rest of the academic year. The kids were just robbed of 1/3 their school year. I feel sorry for them (at least the handful that attend to actually learn, not those that are there for babysitting services). And don't get me started on how bad this whole situation was and is being handled by the districts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThelmaHarper Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Yeah. Those poor kids are having their senior skip day taken away from them. And endless end of year fun days, field trips, days at a Rumble Ponies games, parks etc. Sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than regents exams, schools and students don't even pretend to do anything this time of year as evidenced above. This is just the same thing- videos, hanging out etc, without a schedule and without friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaz Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 2 hours ago, PeteMoss said: Bring it on Kaz I'm just pointing out the obvious. From March 15 to April 20 faculty was instructed to cover no new material, issue no grades on anything the students 'did', and student participation (as in attending on-line instruction), was not mandatory. Now, in the 4th quarter, the policy is that no student can receive a grade less than 65....no matter what. No-show? Congrats, you get a passing grade! The students have no accountability whatsoever. Teachers can have no more than 2 assignments a week because they don't want to 'overwhelm and stress' the students or faculty. Overwhelm and stress? Really? At no point during this mess have I seen my kid take longer than an hour to complete all (as in all the classes combined) assignments handed out twice a week. So that's 2 hours a week of instruction - where school used to be 32 hours. OK Pete and Thelma - educate me on what a wonderful job the schools are doing handling the 'teaching' aspect.

PeteMoss Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 What school district are you writing about? Each one is different and handling the situation in different ways. Which school district faculty was told to cover no new material for 5 weeks? I can see part of this time in a holding pattern because chrome books had to be distributed and not all students have internet access, so it would take some time to set everything up and to get all students online. The whole transfer to online learning took place over a few days. It is a huge logistics problem to transfer in class learning to online learning. If the course was set up for online from day 1, it can go just fine. But starting in the early part of a semester and switching over is not easily done. How do you want students to be evaluated? On line tests where students can cheat or parents can help them? Just because your children take 1 hour to complete their homework doesn't mean that is how long each and every student takes to do their homework.
