Ridgewood School Home School Day 16 ,Due to COVID 19

GALERIE

April 13, 2020

 

Dear Ridgewood School Community,

I hope you had a restful break. I was able to tackle many of the house projects that I have been peddling these past few weeks. My kids may not agree that the food and laundry responsibilities were a good swap for the hard labor of spreading 8 yards of mulch. A neighbor walked by and commented that it looks like “Fishbein Landscaping” is back in business.

On a serious note, while I do not have any inside information, it appears that we will continue with remote learning for some time. When the school closures were first announced, most people did not expect this situation to last for an extended period. We may hear some news from the Governor later this week. Moving forward, I will only send a weekly update; however, any important announcements or information will be shared immediately.

Hackensack NJ, Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 124, establishing a process by which the Department of Corrections may grant temporary reprieve to certain at-risk inmates during the public health emergency. The Governor’s Executive Order creates the Emergency Medical Review Committee to make recommendations on which inmates should be placed on temporary home confinement through the Commissioner’s statutory furlough authority. All recommendations to place an individual on home confinement will be made after thorough review and consideration of the conditions that an individual may face in the community.“My Administration’s top priority is the health and safety of all nine million New Jerseyans, including those who are currently incarcerated,” said Governor Murphy. “The correctional setting presents unique challenges to social distancing, particularly for vulnerable populations. Allowing some of our most vulnerable individuals who do not pose a public safety threat to temporarily leave prison will protect both their health, and the health and safety of the men and women working in our correctional facilities. With this action, New Jersey will join several other states, and the federal government, in taking necessary steps to strike a balance between public health, public safety, and victims’ rights.”

COVID 19 Response the Battle of the Healthcare Bureaucracies

NJ EMS Task Force

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, there have been various criticisms that the COVID 19 response on growing tensions between the federal government’s response to the growing US COVID-19 epidemic and state officials, including governors, but healthcare workers on the front lines are expressing concern as well.
We have also seen it with contradictory actions between our local, county and state bureaucracies.
In a series of interviews, STAT News elicited feedback from healthcare workers across the country regarding the COVID-19 response, and many reportedly expressed frustration with both state and federal responses. Their major concerns included delays in implementing response activities (eg, social distancing), spread of misinformation about the current state of the epidemic and response, supply shortages (eg, personal protective equipment [PPE]), and poor testing availability and strategy. Many healthcare workers feel that insufficient response by government agencies has put them at elevated risk. Additionally, reports continue about the US government “seizing” supplies ordered by states and hospitals. US President Donald Trump and other US government officials have previously called on states and hospitals to acquire their own supplies; however, some orders placed by states and hospitals have reportedly been diverted to the US government, and there appears to be little or no insight into how the government is using or distributing them.
