Call 1-518-474-8390 and tweet at @NYGovCuomo to close schools and save lives! Logistical concerns have been easily resolved by the 20+ states which have already shuttered all their schools. Pressure will work!

Tell @NYGovCuomo that he can prevent more deaths like these by closing NY schools in accordance with 18+ other states & CDC guidance. #COVID19 #CoronavirusWestchester #Coronavirusnyc

I am saddened to report the #COVID19-related death of an 82-year-old women in NYC who had a pre-existing respiratory disease (emphysema).

I extend my condolences to her family during this challenging time.

18 states have closed schools for 2+ weeks to prevent unnecessary #COVID19 deaths; NY has the most cases nationwide but is NOT one of them. Call @NYGovCuomo and ask him for closures before Monday! [phone] #WestchesterCoronavirus #Coronavirusnyc

advocate for the proactive closure of all schools in Lower Westchester & New York City. I believe that waiting for cases to be confirmed in communities before closing schools will result in the virus spreading more widely, leading to far greater case numbers and potential... 3/4

Tweet at @NYCMayor and @NYGovCuomo asking for full public school closures in the city and throughout the state. Ohio, Maryland, and others have proactively closed schools for 3 weeks with low case totals--#coronavirusnewyork is at 250+. #COVID19 #WestchesterCoronavirus

If you live in New York, please ask @NYGovCuomo to follow @GovMikeDeWine's lead. OH has 5 confirmed cases and is closing all schools for 3 weeks; NY has 350 and closes schools for one-day cleanings if cases show up. #COVID19 #WestchesterCoronavirus #Coronavirus #coronavirusny

Schools: From what we can tell based on what has happened elsewhere -- unless a child has another medical problem, the risk of death from #COVID19 for a child is not very high, but kids are potential carriers.

@NYGovCuomo is still against school & mass transit closures as a means of mitigating #COVID19 spread. If you have two minutes today, leave him a message and ask him to save NY lives by closing schools & spaces ASAP! See thread below for instructions. 1/4 #WestchesterCoronavirus

The #WestchesterCoronavirus outbreak will continue to spread until we proactively close schools and public spaces. Call your mayors, superintendents, & governor and tell them to take action before cases are confirmed. #Coronavirus #COVID19

New Rochelle parents and teacher's union leaders say if the goal is to contain coronavirus, they should close schools outside of the containment zone as well. https://t.co/VUIHZgG3ma
