Check In Tomorrow, Data, Maps & More

I hope this message finds you well after another lost weekend as we kick off the first full week of April 2020.

I hope this message finds you well after another lost weekend as we kick off the first full week of April 2020.

 As the Governor announced earlier, the statewide "Pause" has been extended until at least April 29th , meaning that school and "non-essential" businesses will remain closed. There is some cautious optimism that we are hitting the plateau in this crisis, but it's too early and anecdotal to say definitively. 

Reiterating the announcement from my previous newsletter, tomorrow, Tuesday, April 7th at 6:30 PM, we are co-sponsoring a " Community Check-In " with Councilman Lander , Assemblymembers Carroll , Simon , and Ortiz with panelists from agencies including the DOHMH , DOE , DOT , Parks , FDNY , NYPD ,  NYC Census 2020 and NYP Brooklyn Methodist . The list is still in formation, but if you have a question for any of those listed, please send an email here with a subject identifying for whom your question is intended.

As is the case every weekday, you'll find some resources and items of interest below my email signature.

As these numbers show, with some additional context , COVID-19 doesn't discriminate. So, please, unless you are needed on the front lines, STAY HOME. While home, if you can afford to support local businesses, please do so. If you are among those keeping society intact, THANK YOU . 

Feel free to share this information however you'd like, stay safe, and have as good of a weekend as possible.
