The AQI continues to deteriorate in WNY. The air quality index (AQI) at noon in Rochester is reading 160 now. Readings in this range continue to suggest that the air is unhealthy for all groups exposed to it. #ROC #NYwx

“Open air school” (or classes) didn’t even come up as an idea anytime throughout this COVID era…? At least not where I am. (Except for PE classes, maybe).

Replying to @historyinmemes
The open air school movement originated in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century to help sickly children. Classes were taught in the middle of the forest-far away from urban centers-with the belief that good ventilation, clean air and sunlight contributed to the overall physical and mental well-being of the students.

NPR will suspend its use of Twitter, the broadcaster said on Wednesday, a little over a week after the social network designated the organization's account “U.S. state-affiliated media.” Twitter has since changed the label to “Government-funded Media.” nyti.ms/3ZX6phu
