And I did. I pulled the kids out of school that week. I figured we’d sort out details from there.

I couldn’t sleep for days before making that decision. I felt so confused by the radio silence from NYC officials and university officials.

Days would have made a difference in the NYC response to Covid.
Plenty of NYC felt some awareness by mid-Feb I’m sure.
