LRC Study Finds Daily Light Exposure Improves Sleep and Mood @LRCupdates bit.ly/2UZB0fK

How does #COVID19 work from home and quarantine indoors affect our daily light exposure and therefore sleep and psychological health? The @LRCupdates has some answers in in an article with @ledmagazine1 bit.ly/3fwJ5QL #RPI

@fparises @nytimes Have you found data that differentiates between 'real spikes' and finding more positives due to testing substantially more people? That would be very interesting & useful

Wisconsin's positive rate has fallen basically in half in the last month. So has Florida's. Some of these states are seeing very real spikes. Others are testing substantially more people. Probably both, in many cases, but this @nytimes data doesn't tell us any of that.

Politicians should try to be half as good as the American people.

"Exposure to daylight is also critical for accurately setting our internal circadian clock, which in turn regulates sleep and waking, said Mariana Figueiro, the director of @LRCupdates at @RPI." nytimes.com/2020/04/28/wel…

I know this is hard. I wish I could say this will be over soon, but I can’t. We must make decisions based on the science and the data. Human lives are at stake.

@NYGovCuomo This is a GREAT idea!! I heard on @NPR that drive-through testing centers are being used in Korea and it is working well to stop the pandemic. npr.org/2020/03/12/815…

Today we opened the State's first drive-through #COVID19 mobile testing center in New Rochelle. The Mobile Testing Center has 6 lanes and can test up to 200 ppl today and up to 500 ppl/day in the coming days. It is not only faster and easier, it’s also smarter and safer.

If we don't save the planet, everything else is irrelevant. This year I'm proposing a $3B "Restore Mother Nature" Bond Act to restore our state's environment — part of the largest initiative in the US to combat the climate crisis before it's too late. Let's get it done!

I am proposing banning single-use styrofoam food containers statewide. Styrofoam is one of the most common pollutants and a public health hazard. It's everywhere and it will continue to pollute our environment if we don't act. #SOTS2020 #MakingProgressHappen
