Happy New Year everyone! It's Day 33 of the MLB Lockout 🥎🔒🎉.
On #TheUpdate this Monday, schools around the country are adapting soaring infections of the omicron varient- especially as NYC children returned to school from their winter vacation. Mask requirements are returning in some districts that had dropped them. Some are planning to ramp up testing almond students and staff. And a small number of schools are switching to remote learning- at least temporarily.
In Manhattan, Alvin Bragg already made a historic first, being sworn in Saturday as the first black district attorney. Now, he's weighing another: whether to make Donald Trump the first former president ever charged with a crime. With the omicron varient, it's complicating a key question: How does the COVID-19 pandemic end and the world coexist with this virus? One thing scientists can agree on? Omicron likely won't be the last varient. And we all know that you shouldn't jump the subway turnstile. One man in Queens paid the ultimate price, hitting his head on the concrete floor and breaking his neck. 🚇💀
