NYC Eliminates 'Two-Case Rule' For Coronavirus School Closures  Mayor Bill de Blasio also announced
NEW YORK CITY — The city's two-case threshold for automatically closing public schools with coronavirus cases is going away.

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday announced the city will replace the so-called "two-case rule" with a new, as-yet-undefined standard in the coming days.

He said the city will also extend an opt-in deadline until Friday for parents to choose in-person schooling.

"A lot of parents have said to us the two-case rule obviously has led to an extraordinary number of closures," he said. "We know that any other standard will lead to a lot fewer closures."

More than 100 school buildings are under automatic closures because of coronavirus cases, according to the Department of Education.

Concern over frequent closures and disruptions has proved a potential stumbling block for parents weighing whether to switch their kids from fully remote to in-person, de Blasio said.

But while de Blasio stressed eliminating the two-case rule would provide more stability, he repeatedly refused to comment on what coronavirus closure standard will replace it, other than an announcement will be made soon.

De Blasio and Chancellor Meisha Ross Porter said the city's schools will continue their "gold standard" safety criteria.

Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi said measures such as rigorous coronavirus testing and 65,000 staff vaccinations have kept the positivity rate in schools to 0.57 percent.

"For all of these reasons, there is clear net benefit to revising the two-case threshold for school closures," Chokshi said. "We recognize that repeated closures result in social, emotional and educational harm to kids and families."

Defense tries to establish that 911 dispatcher was not an expert on use of force policies
During a cross-examination, defense attorney Eric Nelson walked 911 dispatcher Jena Scurry through the timeline of the encounter and pressed her on her knowledge of Minneapolis Police use of force policies.

Nelson seemed to want the jury to know that Scurry was not familiar with how police handled such incidents.

Scurry acknowledged that she has only seen police incidents play out live on monitors in the dispatch center three to four times in the seven years she has been a dispatcher.

"I wasn't going to apologize for disbelieving Meghan Markle because the truth is that I don't believe Meghan Markle. And in a free, democratic society, I should be allowed not to believe someone, and to say that I don't believe them. That, surely, is the very essence of freedom of speech?" Morgan wrote.

Morgan said at the time he was “sickened” by Meghan and Harry’s interview and called it a “trash-a-thon” of the monarchy. He criticized the couple for dropping a “race bombshell” regarding an alleged conversation in which a family member questioned how “dark” their children's skin would be.

“I don’t believe a word she says, Meghan Markle,” Morgan said. “I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report, and the fact that she fired up this onslaught against our royal family I think is contemptible.”

The United Kingdom’s Office of Communications said this month that it was investigating the show’s episode under its “harm and offense rules” after receiving more than 41,000 complaints following the broadcast of Morgan's remarks.

In his Sunday column, Morgan defended himself and Osbourne, who left CBS' daytime talk show "The Talk" on Friday following remarks she made supporting him.

"I'm not a racist and neither is Sharon Osbourne but that didn't stop the woke mob lynching her just for defending me," Morgan wrote in the headline.

Morgan said he believes they were both entitled to their opinions "without being deemed a racist" and called CBS the "Cowardly Broadcasting System" that "pathetically bowed to the woke mob illiberally baying for blood like a bunch of crazed language-policing fascists."

"The fact we've both lost our jobs is not just an appalling attack on free speech, but it's also a terrible indictment of woke cancel culture bulls--- and the stinking hypocrisy that lies at the heart of it."

CBS has not publicly addressed Morgan's column, but the company said in a statement Friday announcing Osbourne's departure: "As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace."

On an episode of "The Talk" earlier this month, after Morgan's departure from "Good Morning Britain," Osbourne expressed her support for his remarks about Meghan and said she shouldn't be criticized for standing by her friend.

“I feel even like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist so that makes me a racist,” Osbourne said.

Co-host Sheryl Underwood, who is Black, asked Osbourne, "What would you say to people who may feel that while you're standing by your friend, it appears you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don't agree?"

Osbourne responded, "You tell me where you have heard him say ... educate me, tell me when you have heard me say racist things! Educate me, tell me!"

After the heated exchange with Underwood, Osbourne tweeted an explanation.

"Please hear me when I say I do not condone racism, misogyny or bullying," she said. "I should have been more specific about that in my tweet. I will always support freedom of speech, but now I see how I unintentionally didn't make that clear distinction."

CBS said in its statement, "Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers."

"That the evidence has been collected broadly and expansive. Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension employed nearly 50 case agents, analysts and technicians to investigate this case. The Federal Bureau of Investigation included at least 20 additional agents in their investigation."

The culture of his native Tunisia long informed the designer, and dresses are spun in a  precise jacquard, the patterns borrowed from an image from the artists’ enclave of Sidi Bou Said, where Azzedine Alaïa had a home. Arab-Andalusian art and architecture was one of his constant sources of fascination, and resulted in the Vienne motif, a series of circles and triangles mimicking the intricate geometry of decorative walls and columns. It can be seen today in laser-cut perforations tracing a bag or in meticulously wrought knits where skin becomes the canvas for delicate openwork.
