There have been several protests in Rochester and buffalo about school reopening with many people weighing in on both sides. Proponents of school reopening want the option to return their children to school and use information from the cdc, pediatricians and various studies to back up their claims that the kids will be safe and anyone who is at risk should have the choice to stay home and learn online. Those on the opposite side say that opening schools will lead to increased cases and make the whole community unsafe. They demand that schools remain closed and that the government pay parents to stay home and teach their children instead of having to go back to work. Governor Cuomo is expected to release the sates guidance on school reopening later this week.
The quarantine list has changed again. This time travelers from Delaware and Washington DC no longer have to quarantine for 2 weeks when entering New York state but Rhode Island has been added to the list joining 34 other states.
The Rochester Red Wings have announced a way you can be in the stands for upcoming games, sort of. By paying for 4 tickets to any home game next season fans can get a 24 by 17 inch cutout of themselves to be placed in the stands. The Red Wings will take a picture of the cutout and send it to you and use it in a social media post. At the end of the season, you get to keep yourself. The bundle of tickets and cutout costs 60 dollars and additional cutouts cost 35 bucks each.
