Today, July 5, 2021, Earth in its oval orbit is farther from the Sun than any other time of year.
Perihelion: 91.4 million miles – Jan 2, 2021
Aphelion: 94.5 million miles – July 5, 2021
We’re also moving slowest in our orbit. That’s why Summer lasts 5 days longer than Winter.

Black & Latino children are more COVID vulnerable than white children, with Latinos 8x more likely & Black kids 5x more likely to be hospitalized. Use a 4 step phase in approach. If it worked for New York State, it should work for our schools! @nysut@NYGovCuomo@MayorMikeSpano
