Governor Cuomo stayed optimistic saying a number of hospitals have hit a plateau of total cases. In Central New York many part time workers are trying to make ends meet. Troy Boyer, a-k-a ‘The Candy Man’ stopped ubering following a county wide recommendation to shelter in place.
Troy Boyer: “It wasn’t worth it for me. I mean there are drivers out there still driving, cause that’s their main job. I don’t know they do it, but that’s their main source of income. They have no choice.”
Manzella: Boyer says he misses the students and can’t wait for their return. It’s been nearly a month since the last class was held at S-U, but the move to online school is far from over. Syracuse sophomore Neha Penmetsa says the switch to virtual school has been difficult.
