I told my daughter she'd likely not go to school next week. For sure we won't be going to fundraiser BINGO and a school party next week (seriously, they were saying everyone should come!).

Nope
My daughter has a school trip to NYC next weekend. The school is still going on the trip, but I told her she isn't going. She was also supposed to go to Greece at the end of April, which isn't happening either.

Hi all - Apologies for the delay, I had to fix a couple confusing typos in the original HIT. The HIT is relaunching now and I'll notify you all when it's live.

Thanks for your patience!
---------------------------------"

So does this mean if we caught the first one she tossed out that we should not do it?

What's really funny is I got interrupted in the middle of it, and the survey itself had a lot of encouragement to work fast... knew I got danger feels from it. Yikes

Not sure, but I wasn't able to grab one despite getting the email for doing the initial registration. I have a feeling the typos were more along the lines of it being open to everyone instead of the closed qual.

Good call! This is her second go with this type of HIT and she had issues the first time but always seemed super open to communication and *always* compensated for errors.

there is no way. Cuomo can say it's contained to New Rochelle - but that's stupid. Everyone in New Rochelle commutes to Grand Central every day. I grew up in the town right next door (Larchmont).

NYC is not far behind New Rochelle (in terms of outbreak). That trip won't happen.

A nice long survey to start the day....this may be an ominous omen. It's the forever survey. Like eating octopus. No matter how long you chew, it's still there. All bubbles of the usual kind. People are complaining it's too long. They're right, but It's still not that bad. The survey percentage runs down suddenly, though...and mine wasn't broken, either.
HIT Time: was about 50 min, it just felt like more.

I live in another NYC commuter town (in NJ), we're having cases pop up. Anybody going into NYC right now who doesn't need to is playing with fire IMHO. Good on you keeping her home! NY will be there when this is over.

I submitted the first one and do not want to spend the time doing it again.

She said I'd be fine, sorry I should've updated.
