After the successful electoral campaign of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, there is a temptation to endorse other electoral candidates, including so-called "progressives" like Cynthia Nixon. What lessons can we find in the campaign promises of Bill De Blasio and other Democrats?
This is how Cynthia Nixon explained to Stephen Colbert her reasons for running for Governor of New York State against Democratic Party incumbent Andrew Cuomo during their interview on The Late Show in April.
Nixon's criticisms of Cuomo are valid: he is absolutely in the pocket of corporations and real estate developers; he certainly allowed Republicans to gerrymander state districts and caucuses with Republicans (instead of Democrats) in the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC); he most definitely has been starving public schools — especially those in the most impoverished neighborhoods of New York City — of funding, blocking funds from the Campaign for Fiscal Equity even as he increases money granted to charter schools.
Nixon is not only proud of being part of a state that is a stronghold of the Democratic Party, she shows few signs of diverging from the platform of the greater Democratic Party. While Ocasio-Cortez discusses demilitarizing the border, free college, and Medicare for All, Nixon is running on much tamer demands. The only parts of her platform that differentiate herself from other Democrats are her calls to legalize marijuana and fully fund public (K-12) education.
In terms of national positions, while Nixon has echoed Ocasio-Cortez's "abolish ICE" demand amid public outrage about the behavior of law enforcement border agents, so have Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, hardly the most progressive of Democrats. (Interestingly, Bernie Sanders has staunchly refused to support the demand).
As a Democrat further to the left than Cuomo, Nixon is already under fire from his conservative base. Harvard Law professor Alen Dershowitz has called for votes against her for her signature on a 2010 letter written by Jewish Voices for Peace — who Dershowitz calls "Israel haters" — which voiced support for Israeli artists who declined to perform in the West Bank. She has also been "accused" of engaging with the Boycott Divest and Sanction (BDS) campaign against Israel.
The backtracking statement not withstanding, these comments are par for the course with politicians who embrace capitalism; when they demand that working families make "sacrifices," it only and always means more profits for the wealthy and worse conditions for workers. The rhetoric that "unions need to be more reasonable" — used by Republicans and Democrats alike with few differences — is an anti-worker dog-whistle used to assert that union workers are privileged and they should be "normalized" (into worse and more precarious conditions).
Nixon, like Sanders and Ocasio, leans on the fact that many people understand the underlying corruption of American politics. According to The New York Times, "Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo… has now amassed a $30.5 million campaign chest in 2018 that so far has helped him scare away serious rivals in his bid for a third term. [He] received donations from an array of wealthy individuals and companies, from big Albany lobbying shops to real estate developers, from Hollywood moguls to the pharmaceutical industry." Nixon, like many candidates, point to just how corrupt and unfair this rigged system and how it silences is the ordinary American citizen who has only a single vote, not millions of dollars, to represent their positions.
The cry of "We need to get money out of politics!" is not a new one. Nixon's pledge "not to accept any corporate money," implying this keeps politicians "honest" is a hollow one because there is no such thing as "keeping money out of politics" in a capitalist government structure. While an individual candidate who rejects corporate money and large donations is less likely to be beholden to such entities once entering office, this doesn't address the constant pressure from party structures and other forces to compromise on demands, especially without a movement behind the candidate to keep them accountable.
Nixon calls her demands to legalize recreational marijuana in New York and an end to cash bail "racial justice issues." She accurately points out the disparity between white people and people of color when it comes to arrests and prosecutions of marijuana charges, and cash bail has been widely recognized as one of the most commonly-used oppressive measures in the criminal "justice" system. The issue here is the shortsightedness of the demand. While the official legalization of marijuana would be a step forward — in that it is already effectively legal for the wealthy white community but leads to higher incarceration rates for People of Color — and an end to cash bail would keep thousands of people out of facilities like Riker's Island, relying on this to in any way decrease incarceration rates misses the forest for the trees. Mass incarceration is not a product of one drug law too many or a lack of bail oversight. It is a systemic issue that demands a steady rate of arrests and prosecutions to keep the public and private prison systems running. Nixon's band-aid solutions would create the illusion of progress but no lasting improvement.
Cynthia Nixon has a strong connection to liberal and Democratic Party Mayor Bill De Blasio. Calling her an "architect of [his 2013] campaign," the New York Times states that it was during this campaign that she "witnessed the disruptive potential of a message about the ravages of inequality," and that "It's a script she hopes to replay versus Mr. Cuomo." In fact, two other engineers of De Blasio's 2013 campaign were her go-tos for her own campaign managers and now head up her team.
However, De Blasio turned out to be a massive disappointment to progressives who hoped he would make great strides towards remedying the dramatic inequality in New York City. Despite his success at the implementation of universal pre-kindergarten programs throughout the city, many other reforms were blocked by Governor Cuomo. Specifically, Cuomo fought De Blasio's challenge to union-busting charter schools, and after meetings with Cuomo, De Blasio quickly caved to the political pressure and backed down.
Likewise, his "Tale of Two Cities" narrative — which included skyrocketing rents as a measure of how working people in New York City were denied economic opportunities — turned out to be more of a campaign promise than a demand. The New Yorker article "Bill De Blasio, Friend of Real-Estate Developers?" details De Blasio's cozy relationship with major real estate developers. But perhaps his most egregious capitulation to maintaining the racist and oppressive status quo of New York City was his choice for the new police commissioner just after he announced he would end "stop and frisk" policing — Bill Bratton. De Blasio spent years refusing to speak directly against repeated Bratton's racist comments to the press. And when Bratton finally did resign after months of protests, De Blasio vehemently denied that the resignation had anything to do with the widespread outcry against Bratton. The lack of acknowledgement of the connection between police oppression and economic precarity — and the way police oppression functions to assist gentrification — is totally absent from the programs of liberal politics, making the need for "law and order" an accepted part of liberal governance.
Given De Blasio's progressive rhetoric during his campaign and what became of these promises after his election, and given Cynthia Nixon's affinity for his campaign strategies and his politics, there is no reason to think that she would be much different as a governor than De Blasio is as a mayor. And "progressives" in executive positions have never stood firmly behind the working class.
While Nixon comes from a working-class background, her espousal of capitalist politics (and her choice to build a bourgeois political party) place her firmly on the side of the capitalists. Although wearing a more progressive veneer than that of Andrew Cuomo, Cynthia Nixon is as committed to securing businesses and capitalist profits as any other Democrat. A vote for her is a vote of confidence for the representatives of the capitalist class and those who uphold the very system we are determined to bring down.

Though the demand for jobs related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) has increased significantly in recent years, men still continue to dominate these fields creating a STEM Gender Gap. Across the world, women make up less than a third (29.3%) of those employed in scientific research and development related fields. In addition, women who do choose to work in STEM fields are more likely to leave or choose to not continue their education in that field compared to their male counterparts.Throughout middle school both male and female students take prestigious science and math courses and even make similar scores. However, in high school we see this gap widen as fewer young girls choose to participate in STEM related courses. Many researchers believe that this trend could be caused by gender stereotypes and society's expectations surrounding what job roles women can fill. In addition, the few women that do decide to enter the STEM workforce face descrimination, are paid less than male co-workers, feel isolated due to the lack of female coworkers, mentors, and role models, and feel like that their contributions are ignored.
STREAMWORKS will change this trajectory by developing the skills young girls need to achieve success in any science or math related career.
Through our all-girl summer camps, robotics teams, and workshops our mission is to instill confidence in young girls by showing them that they can accomplish anything the boys can do. In addition, the Streamworks staff includes female members in order to inspire and prevent the feeling of isolation. Being in an all girl environment will allow girls to excel and develop essential skills necessary while being surrounded with encouragement by other girls. Through our programs we hope to decrease the STEM gender gap by increasing the amount of females that enter the future STEM workforce. In addition, these young girls will learn how to think like an engineer, mechanics, basic electronics, coding, 3D modeling and printing, communication, leadership, and responsibility. With these skills any girl that goes through our programs will be advanced ahead of their peers and are bound for success in any career path of their choosing.
Previously, STREAMWORKS hass hosted an all-girls coding camp and even had an all-girls Robot League (RDL) Team this past season. About 50 girls attended the coding camp from all around the region including Girls Inc. The students first began with block coding on an online program called Scratch, learned the fundamentals of python using Code Combat, programed VEX robots, LEGO robots, and drones, and learned how to write programs using an Arduino processor in order to power motors and servos. The purpose of this camp was to inspire girls who are interested in the computer science field despite computer science being a male dominated field. In addition to having all girls camps, Streamworks has also sponsored an all girls robotics team known as Superwoman Smarts Flygirls. Superwoman Smarts Flygirls was made up of all girls ranging from grades 4th through 8th. The team designed their own robot with a drive train system and a linear actuator system. On top of that the team programmed their robot using Raspberry Pi.
The team also included a drone pilot that learned how to proficiently fly a drone as well as coding the drone using python. On top of that the team programmed their robot using Raspberry Pi. Utilizing both the robot and the drone together the team had to strategize how to get as many points as possible in a 10 minute time frame. Overall, the all-girls team placed second in last season's Robot Drone League Competition. Aundrea Wilcox, the creator of Superwoman Smarts Flygirls, said this about the experience,"STEM-related education and early exposure can substantially empower girls to achieve economic mobility and better life chances. It is clear to me that this program works. I watched the lightbulb go off with this group of girls. I know this experience has transformed them and they are encouraged more than ever to pursue STEM education and eventually work in technology related fields."
Streamworks wanted to give a big thank you to all of our partners who have helped us make our Girls in STEM initiatives a reality. Learn more about these amazing woman below.

Check him out on the Table of Truth & on Mookie Creative.
What name do you go by/perform under/etc?
I go by "Cam" or my full name "Cameron T. Moore" now. It used to be "Mookie" which was my dancer and DJ name but I have out grown it. That, and I use it for my design company now, Mookie Creative.
Where do you live? Why?
Why do you make a good unemployee?
Actually, being unemployed has made me busier than having a 9-5. I have creative a.d.d. so I am always doing multiple projects at once in different areas of art: deejaying, designing, dancing, and of lately filming and editing. So, I am probably more productive as an "unemployee" than a employee.
Whats the craziest thing you've done for money?
Teaching dance (house, b-boying aka breakdancing) is one of my favorite gigs. I like helping the younger dancers demystify the secrets of dance styles. A lot of times it is as simple as breaking down a seemingly complex concept into something easily digestible.
I am most passionate about learning. I love absorbing new information in all areas and utilizing it to better myself and those around me.
I think my best quality is helping people have a better understanding of art, design, and technology. Each one, teach one.
What are you the worst at?
What are 3-5 things you can't live without?
The Internet, red vines, music, scotch & whiskey, and family.
What city/place in the world would you live in (at least part time)?
London, I lived there for a half a year and it would be cool to go back and or split time between the states.
How does music effect your life?
As cliche as it sounds, music is the soundtrack to my life. There's a song for every girlfriend break up, job loss, job gain, major announcement, life change, subway ride, and as well as walking down the street in Brooklyn. Work music, sleep music, chill music, happy music; I have a soundtrack for it all.
What were you doing at exactly 4:20 (am or pm) yesterday?

2010 Redistricting Changes: New York Loses Two Seats

Old Districts by Party Representation with New District Outlines
While the results of the 2010 Census revealed that New York had not experienced a demographic revolution in the years since 2000, its population demographics shifts did yield some interesting changes. Its population increase of 2.6% was far less than the 9.7% increase in national population. Indeed, New York lost two congressional seats, bringing its total number of representatives down to 27. Perhaps the most interesting demographic change was the Asian population, with an over 45%, increase from 1.04 million to 1.52 million people. The demographic group now represents 7.8% of the state's total population. African Americans increased by 13%, now accounting for 17.5% of New York's population. The Hispanic population increased by 5.4% to 2.61 million from 2.47 million people. Hispanics now make up 13.4% of New York's population. The state's largest demographic, Whites decreased in proportion and number by 4%. The white population decreased from 11.76 million to 11.29 million people and now represents 58% of New York's total population.
The congressional redistricting process in New York is primarily controlled by the state legislature. The state legislature draws and approves the map of congressional districts and then sends the maps to the governor for approval. Finally, Bronx, Kings, and New York Counties are considered "covered jurisdictions" under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act and therefore either the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division or the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia needs to approve the redistricting plan.
The legislature also appoints an advisory commission for the redistricting process called the New York State Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment (LATFOR). This committee is purely advisory and consists of six members; four legislators and two non-legislatures. The Temporary President of the Senate appointed one legislator, Michael F. Nozzolia, and one non-legislator, Welquis R. Lopez. The Speaker of the Assembly appointed one legislator, Assemblyman John J McEneny, and one non-legislator, Roman Hedges. Finally, the minority leaders of the Assembly and the Senate appoint the remaining two legislators, Assemblyman Robert Oaks and Senator Martin Dilan.
Control of the state legislature is currently split between the Democrats and the Republicans. The State Senate is controlled by Republicans, with thirty-two Republicans versus thirty Democrats. The State Assembly is composed of one hundred Democrats and forty-eight Republicans. Each house of the state legislature submitted redistricting plans, but they were unable to reach a final consensus decision. The case Favors v. Cuomo was filed based on the inability of the state legislature to create districts. A three-judge panel appointed a special master, magistrate Roanne Mann, on February 13, 2012 to oversee the redistricting process. On March 6th, she released a draft plan with help from redistricting expert, Nathaniel Persily, of Columbia Law School. The state legislature still had time to submit their own redistricting map, but again failed to come to a consensus.
On Monday, March 19, the panel of federal judges imposed a final redistricting order which finalized New York's congressional districts. The state's 22nd District, which hugged the southern Finger Lakes east to the Hudson Valley, was removed and divided among surrounding districts, leaving its representative, Democrat Maurice D. Hinchey, without a job, although Hinchey had indicated earlier in the year that he was to retire. In addition, Republican Bob Turner's 9th congressional district was eliminated by the court and was split up among the surrounding districts encompassing Brooklyn and Queens. The plan, which was based off magistrate judge Roanne L. Mann's proposal, had the broad aim of making compact districts that made sense on a representational level, rather than accounting for the current residences of incumbent congressmen.
First District
New York's First District includes most of eastern Long Island. Its boundaries were shifted somewhat after the 2010 census, moving slightly southwest into the hamlet of Hauppage and slightly northeast towards Smithtown. Overall, the district has and continues to cover the entirety of the eastern portion of Suffolk County. The slight boundary changes, then, have made little difference in the geography of the district, as it has retained 97% of its voters from its previous geographical definition.
Second District
New York's Second District is located in central Long Island. It includes West Babylon, Islip, and parts of Brentwood and Ronkonkoma and thus the bottom central portion of Long Island, in contrast to its previous coverage of the area immediately north, which included Huntington, East Northport, and Commack. It received the southern area that follows the Great South Bay–some of Lindenhurst, all of West Babylon, Islip–from the Third District. The district appears much less irregularly-shaped than it was previously, as it hugs the southern edge rather than encompassing both the north and parts of the south of the Island.
Demographically, the new Second contains more whites than previously: In the old district, whites comprised 62.9% of the population while the new one includes 66.1% whites. The Black, Hispanic, and Asian populations have accordingly decreased, with the Asian population in the district facing a decreasing from 5% to 3.2% in the new one. The Hispanic and Black populations in the district have decreased to a lesser extent, with neither–whose percentages were in the double digits–decreasing by more than a percentage point.
Third District
The Third District of New York covers the eastern half of Nassau County on the northern border, going as far east as Queens and as far west as Smithtown. This is a significant geographic difference from the previous district, which covered the southeastern section of Long Island from Long Beach across the South Oyster Bay to Islip while a narrower middle section cut north through Levittown and up to Glen Cove and Bayville, the north side of Long Island that it still covers. This new district doesn't take these twists and turns, covering a more regular block of the north.
As the district's shape is significantly different that the previous one, its racial composition has changed as well. Most notably, it has become significantly more Asian and less white. In the old district, Whites comprised 80.7% of the population while Asians accounted for just 5.3%. Now, White representation in the district has fallen to 72.5% while Asians comprise 13.7%. While the black population has remained the same at 3.1%, Hispanics have fallen from 10.1% 9.7% of the district.
Fourth District
New York's Fourth District covers the southern portion of Nassau County, including the towns of Garden City, Hempstead, Freeport, and Oceanside. This is a change from the previous district, which, while covering some of Oceanside and Freeport, avoided the southern region, snaking north of the Long Beach and Jones Beach areas west of the South Oyster Bay. This new region is more block-like but also moves slightly more east, avoiding the Jamaica border and some of Elmont.
In terms of demographics, the region has become significantly more White, primarily due to the inclusion of the southern areas and its eastern boundary moving somewhat west. Whites, who comprised 52.3% of the previous 4th district, now account for 61.1% of the district's population. Blacks have decreased from 19% of the district to 14% blacks.
Fifth District
The Fifth District of New York covers much of Queens County, including Jamaica, St. Albans, and Springfield Gardens. Its south section stretches west to cover Belle Harbor, in addition. This is a radical change from the previous district–the two have almost no overlaps. The previous district covered the area between Manhattan Island and Long Island, including Port Washington and the entire Manhasset Bay region. The new district has therefore simply moved south, to cover John F. Kennedy International Airport.
As its geography has changed so completely, so has the district's demography. The old Fifty district's racial composition 35.7% white, 4.2% black, 25.6% Hispanic, 33.3% Asian, and 1.2% of other races. The new district contains 12.2% whites, 50.1% blacks, 18.9% Hispanics, 11.5% Asians, and 7.3% of other races. The core of Queens County, much of which has been added to the 5th district, is quite racially diverse and also contains a much higher percentage of blacks.
Sixth District
The Sixth District of New York stretches from the east side of Kings County in Ridgewood and continues east through Queens, including of Flushing, and Auburndale. While it is in the northern part of Queens County, it does not go as far northwest as La Guardia Airport and stops before the northern areas of Whitestone and Clearview. This is in contrast to the old Sixth which lay directly south, covering Jamaica, St. Albans, and the region surrounding the John F. Kennedy International Airport. Unlike the previous district, however, this one has no irregular portions that jut out from the main section, as the previous section did into Hyde Park.
Because the old and the new district share little geography, their demographics are quite different. Previously, the Sixth district contained a large plurality of Blacks, who made up 49.8% of the population (the next-largest group was Asians, at 13.3%). In the new district, Blacks make up just 3.7% of the population, with Asians and Whites dominating at 38.1% and 38.5%, respectively, of the district's population. The Hispanic population has remained similar, hovering between 18% and 19%, while people of other races have fallen from 7.8% to 1.6% of the district. The increase in the Asian population can be accounted for the large number of Asian immigrants in the northern section of Queens County in neighborhoods like Flushing and north Queens area.
Seventh District
The Seventh District of New York is located on the western border of Kings County. Its shape is that of a right angle, starting on the west side of Brooklyn in Sunset Park, moving north up to Carroll Gardens and eventually to the Lower East Side. It then heads east through Williamsburg and Bushwick, ending at Woodhaven. This strange shape shares little resemblance with the old Seventh district, which was strange itself: it covered north Queens around LaGuardia Airport but then straddled the bay to the Bronx area, including Unionport, Schuylerville, and City Island.
The new district's geographic reach is therefore quite different, but its racial composition, while still noticeably different than previously, is less strikingly different. Indeed, Hispanics in the old Seventh District accounted for 44.4% of its population while the current district is 43.1% Hispanic. As there are large numbers of Hispanics who inhabit west Brooklyn, north Queens, and the Bronx, this consistency makes sense. There are significantly more Blacks in the newer district, however, comprising 16.6% of the population in comparison to the lower 8.6% in the previous version of the district. The White population has increased from 20.7% of the district's population to 27.8%, probably because of the increasing number of whites in the Williamsburg and Bushwick areas. And the Asian population has increased, but only slightly, from 16.5% to 18.8%.
Eighth District
New York's Eighth District forms a half circle that loops around the east side of Crown Heights and central Brooklyn. It begins on Coney Island, moves east and north along the south Brooklyn neighborhood of Mill Basin, continues north to Canarsie and East New York, and then cuts back northwest through Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill. The old district covered a much different area. It still began south at Coney Island but then moved immediately north to Borough Park, yet still avoiding other areas of southwest Brooklyn, and then cut north to Manhattan, through Hudson Square, Greenwich Village, ending just west of Central Park. Thus, while both the old and the new district are strangely, irregularly shaped, they don't share much geography.
As follows, the new district's demographic make-up is much different than before. BWhites, who comprised 66.5% of the previous district, now account for 22%. The Black population has dramatically increased from 4.8% to 52.9% while the Asian population has fallen from 15.9% to 4.8%. These significant differences are mainly due to the loss of large, wealthy section of Manhattan. Meanwhile, southeast Brooklyn is a primarily Black region, thus providing the majority in the new Eighth.
Ninth District
The Ninth District of New York is located in central Brooklyn, starting on the north end at Crown Heights and then moving south through East Flatbush, Flatlands, and ending in south Brooklyn near Gerritsen Beach. The shape of the district is much more conventional than the previous Ninth, which included Manhattan and Gerritsen Beaches and a small section of south Brooklyn but also encompassed Queens' Rockaway peninsula. In addition, from there, the old district then meandered north through Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Woodhaven, and ended with central Queens as its most northern point. The previous district thus encompassed a vast number of neighborhoods and multiple boroughs while the new one is centered in Brooklyn.
The racial composition of the new district is quite different from the old. The most notable change is the proportion of Blacks, The White population has changed from 57% to 29.7%, while the Hispanic population has fallen as well from 17.2% to 11.3%. Asians, too, have declined in the district to 6.2% of the population from 19.3%. Other races' numbers have generally remained unchanged. The difference from old to new in racial composition mainly has to do with the large amounts of Whites living in beach areas like Rockaway peninsula and also in the upper middle class neighborhood of Forest Hills. Central and south Brooklyn, in contrast, are primarily Black.
Tenth District
The Tenth District starts in southwestern Brooklyn in Borough Park, cuts a small sliver west, and then follows Manhattan's west side from its southern tip north through the Upper West Side. The shape and boundaries of the current Tenth District and the previous Eighth District are nearly identical and the old Tenth district was very similar to the current Eighth.
The new Tenth District is composed of 65.3% Whites, 4% Blacks, 12.2% Hispanics, 17.4% Asians, and 1.1% of other races. In contrast, the previous district was 18.3% white, 58.7% black, 17.2% Hispanic, 3.9% Asian, and 1.9% of other races. This difference is accounted for by the stark difference between Manhattan and Brooklyn's composition.
Eleventh District
The Eleventh District covers the entirety of Staten Island and the southwestern corner of Brooklyn, from Bay Ridge to Gravesend. Much of the old Eleventh is now in the new Ninth District. The current district extends to Brooklyn to balance its population.
Because the district has moved so completely, it follows that its demographics are also quite different. Notably, Whites now comprise 64.2% of its population, 25.6%. Blacks, who number high in Brooklyn, comprised 53.5% of the previous district's population and now total just 7.2%. The Asian population has increased from 5.9% to 11.9%, as has the Hispanic population, rising from 13.2% to 15.7%. Other races have declined from 1.8% of the previous district's total to 1% of the current population. Staten Island's composition is highly White while Brooklyn's is highly Black, so the differences seen from the older district to the new one are not so surprising.
Twelfth District
The Twelfth District of New York follows the western border of Manhattan from Greenwich Village in the south to the Upper East Side in the north. It also encompasses Astoria and Long Island City in northwest Queens and then heads south to Greenpoint in Brooklyn. The old district was located immediately south and stretched southeast from Greenpoint to Bushwick. On the other side of Greenpoint, the old district snaked around the west side of Brooklyn through Red Hook and Greenwood, ending just before the southwest corner of Brooklyn.
The Twelfth district is primarily White increasing from 26.8% in the old district to 67%. There are much fewer Hispanics in the 12th district than previously, decreasing from 44.6% of the district's population to 13.3%. And the black population has declined from 8.4% to 4.9%, reflecting the more heterogeneous composition of the previous district's make-up which was not only in Brooklyn but, because it followed the west side, spanned across a large geographic region, thus covering the ethnic pockets of the borough.
Thirteenth District
New York's Thirteenth District covers the northern part of Manhattan, following the Hudson River north from East Harlem, through Washington Heights, and ending just north of Inwood. The old district encompassed Staten Island and the southwestern portion of Brooklyn and is thus quite similar to the current 11th congressional district. Unlike its previous state, the current 11th district maintains a fairly regular geographic area, covering the northwestern block of Manhattan. In contrast, the old 11th district straddled the borough of Brooklyn and Staten Island to maintain population balance.
The old 13th district was composed of 62.3% whites, 7.1% blacks, 16.1% Hispanics, 13.6% Asians, and 0.9% of other races. The post-redistricting 13th district contains 12.2% whites, 27% blacks, 55.1% Hispanics, 4.2% Asians, and 1.5% of other races. Northern Manhattan is primarily Hispanic and has a consistent black population while Staten Island has a majority non-white Hispanic population, so the geography easily accounts for these differences.
Fourteenth District
New York's Fourteenth District encompasses north Queens, including Woodside, East Elmhurst, LaGuardia Airport, and College Point across Flushing Bay. Previously, the Fourteenth District was approximately where the Twelfth District is located now except it did not include the neighborhood of Greenpoint. It included the Upper East Side, some of Greenwich Village, and Astoria and Long Island City in Queens.
Because it is in a different region, the current district's demographics are markedly different. While the district previously contained a high number of whites (65.7%), only 24.9% of its population is white. In contrast, Black population has nearly doubled from 4.8% in the old district to 9.6% today, while the Hispanic population has more than tripled to 47.5% in comparison to the 13.7% it made up in the past. Asians and other races have remained fairly similar.
Fifteenth District
New York's Fifteenth District covers upper Manhattan (neighborhoods surrounding Fleetwood-Concourse Village) and cuts into the Bronx border at the northeast. This is significantly different area than its previous location alongside the western border of Manhattan, following the Hudson River from Inwood and Fort George in the north down to the Upper West Side. The old district was thus thin and long; the new one, located east, is more round and expansive.
The demographic differences between the old 15th district and the new one reflect the new geography. The white population, in particular, has plummeted to a mere 2.3% of the population from 20.9% previously. In contrast, Hispanic population has jumped to 65.3% from 46.1% earlier, as has the black population (29.2% versus the earlier 26.9%). The huge decrease in the white population makes sense given the large portion that live in the Upper West side and the region immediately north of Central Park.
Sixteenth District
The Sixteenth District covers the southern portion of Westchester County, stretching north through Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, and Yonkers, ending at Hastings-On-Hudson, with the border moving east through Scarsdale and incorporating Rye on the eastern edge. This represents a significant change from the previous district whose location is now more aligned with the current Fifteenth District in the south Bronx around the Grand Concourse thoroughfare. The two areas share only a small portion near Jermone Park.
Demographically, the racial composition of the new Sixteenth District is significantly different from that of the old. Whites now compose 39.3% of the district in comparison to the previous figure of 2.4%. In addition, Hispanics now account for just 23.3% of the district's population, whereas they previously accounted for the majority at 66.5% of the population. The Asian population has increased as well, jumping over three percentage points from 1.6% to 4.9% of the district's population. Blacks and other races have remained relatively unchanged. Yonkers and Westchester County have a high percentage of whites and the south Bronx has a high percentage of Hispanics, so this racial shift makes sense.
Seventeenth District
New York's Seventeenth District is located in the Hudson River Valley. The old district encompassed parts of the Bronx, Westchester County, and Rockland County. The cores of the district were located in Rockland County with part of the district snaking along the Hudson River and then increasing in size to cover a substantial portion of the Bronx. The new district is much more geographically compact; it no longer includes the Bronx. In order to recoup the lost population, the district now encompasses most of northern Rockland County and northwestern Westchester County from the old Nineteenth District, and western Westchester County from the old Eighteenth Congressional District.
The demographics of the district have radically changed. The district was only 37.2% white but it is now 63.1% white. Most of this increase is at the expense of African Americans- they formerly comprised 30.4% of the district, but now only are 10.1% of the district. Hispanics have suffered a smaller decrease, going from 25.6% to 19.5% of the total population. Most of this change is due to the district losing its territory in the Bronx.
The new district has undergone substantial changes in voter composition. The composition of its voters is 30% from the old Seventeenth district, 49% from the old Eighteenth, and 21% from the old Nineteenth. These voters are more conservative; the Cook Partisan Voting Index for the old district was D+18 while for the new district it is only D+5. This change is largely due to the loss of the Bronx for the district which provided a solid Democrat voting base.
Eighteenth District
New York's Eighteenth District is located in the Hudson River Valley. The old district encompassed western Westchester County and a smaller portion of Rockland County. The district underwent dramatic changes following the latest round of redistricting and now represents an almost entirely new set of constituents. It represents the more sparsely populated eastern half of Westchester county, all of Orange county and Putnam County, and the southwestern portion of Dutchess county. The new Eighteenth is much more similar to the old Nineteenth District combined with the southeastern part of the Twenty-Second congressional district.
The demographics have also undergone a shift. The new district is 71.8% white as opposed to its former percentage of 59.7%. Most of this change has been a result of a much lower percentage of Hispanics- decreasing from 22.6% of the population to 14.8% in the new district. The new district is slightly more racially diverse than the former Nineteenth District that it largely replaced that was 76.1% white.
The new district is more rural and has a higher concentration of conservative voters. The Cook Partisan Voting Index for the new district is R+2 while the district was formerly D+9. The voting base of the district is comprised of 1% of voters from the former Eighteenth District, 76% from the Nineteenth District, 2% from the Twentieth District, and 21% from the Twenty-Second District.
Nineteenth District
New York's Nineteenth District was located in Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Westchester, and Putnam counties. The redistricting process has relocated the district farther north. The majority of the new district was created from the southern half of the Twentieth District along with the eastern half of the Nineteenth district. The district half encircles the district containing Albany and the surrounding suburbs.
The demographics of the district have changed as a result. The district is more rural than it was and has less racial diversity. It is 86.3% white while the old district was 71.8% white. The most dramatic change is the decrease in the percentage of the population identifying as Hispanic from 14.8% to 6.3%.
The voter composition has only changed slightly despite the demographic differences. The Cook Partisan Voting Index went from R+3 to even despite the fact that the district became more racially homogenous
Twentieth District
New York's Twentieth congressional district was a primarily rural district that ran along much of New York's eastern border with a hook inland and around part of Albany. The district has undergone a substantial shift during the redistricting process. It is now primarily located around the Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) that is the fourth largest MSA in New York and the 58th largest in the country. The district occupies much of what was historically the Twenty-First congressional district.
The new district is less racially homogenous. The old district was 91.5% white and was largely rural, while the new district is 79.6% white and relatively more urban. African Americans make up a much larger portion of the new district at 9.6% compared to the previous percentage of 2.8%.
Twenty-First District
New York's Twenty-First Congressional District was largely centered around the Albany-Schenectady-Troy MSA. In this area it has been replaced by the Twentieth District. The new district covers most of north-eastern New York, mainly replacing the old Twenty-Third, but also parts of the old Twentieth and Twenty-Fourth Districts.
The new district is much more rural and lacks racial diversity. The old district was 79.2% white and 10% African American. The new district is 3.1% African American and 91.6% white; the state as a whole is only 58.3% white and is 14.8% African American. The district no longer includes the relatively large MSA of Albany-Schenectady-Troy and instead consists primarily of smaller urban areas and rural households.
Twenty-Second District
The Twenty-Second District started at the west bank of the Hudson running from Saugerties to Newburgh and then ran westward along New York's border until it hooked northward and snaked towards Ithaca. The district failed the compactness requirements of the redistricting process and has been changed substantially. The new district runs from north to south, from Lake Ontario to Pennsylvania. It is comprised largely of parts of the old Twenty-Third and Twenty-Fourth congressional districts.
The district has become significantly more racially homogenous as a result. It is now 89.2% white, 4.3% black, and 3.1% Hispanic. The district was formerly 73.6% white, 9.7% black, and 11.9% Hispanic.
Twenty-Third District
The new and old Twenty-Third congressional districts share no common ground; the old one was located in northeastern New York while the new one is located in southwest New York. The new distract spans from Lake Erie to Ithaca. It contains much of the same territory as the old Twenty-Ninth congressional district; the most notable difference is the inclusion of Ithaca in the new Twenty-Third District and the exclusion of the southern suburbs of Rochester.
The ethnic and racial composition of the district remained remarkably similar despite not sharing the same voter base. In both districts the percentage of the population identifying as white remained relatively stable at 90%. The percentage of the population identifying as black remained relatively stable at around 3% and the situation of Hispanics is similar with the percentage of people identifying as Hispanic remaining around 3%.
Twenty-Fourth District
New York's Twenty-Fourth District has undergone dramatic change. The district was previously shaped like a large hook wrapping around Syracuse. The new district is primarily located on Lake Ontario, but also extending inland and including Syracuse. The new district is most similar to the old Twenty-Fifth District with the key difference being the inclusion of Oswego and Fulton and the exclusion of the suburbs and surrounding towns to the north and east of Rochester.
The new district is slightly more diverse. Blacks comprise 8.6% of the population as opposed to their old share of 4.3% though these numbers are both well below the state average of 14.8%. Also, Hispanics are underrepresented in both districts with 3.3% of the population in the old district and 3.7% of the population in the new district. The state average is 17.6%.
Twenty-Fifth District
New York's Twenty-Fifth District ran from slightly east and north of Rochester to encompass Syracuse and the surrounding towns and suburbs. The new district is squarely focused on the city of Rochester. It replaces the old districts that had several districts splitting up Rochester, including the old Twenty-Eighth congressional district that consisted of the main portion of Rochester and then narrowly wound along the cost and eventually reached Buffalo by a narrow strip.
The new district is slightly more racially diverse due to the inclusion of the city of Rochester. It is only 72% white while the old district was 82.7% white. The new district contains substantially more residents that identify as black or Hispanic.
Twenty-Sixth District
New York's Twenty-Sixth District stretched from west of Buffalo to east of Rochester. The new district encompasses Buffalo and the surrounding towns. The new district is primarily formed from the old Twenty-Sixth, Twenty-Seventh, and Twenty-Eighth congressional districts.
The district has become largely urban and the demographics have changed as a result. The old district was nearly 90% white while the new district is only 71.5% white. The old district was only 4.4% black while the new district is nearly 20% black due to the inclusion of the city of Buffalo and the loss of rural land.
Twenty-Seventh District
New York's Twenty-Seventh District formerly comprised the eastern bank of Lake Erie. The new district shares some of this old territory, but is largely composed of the old Twenty-Sixth District. The new district contains much of the coastal land in between Buffalo and Rochester as well as much of the coastal land in between Buffalo and Dunkirk. A large swath of interior land between Buffalo and Rochester makes up the rest of the district.
The district has lost most of the little racial diversity it had; whereas it was once only 84.8% white, it is now 92.7% white. The percentage share of blacks and Hispanics both plummeted to below 3% of the total population each.
Twenty-Eighth District
The Twenty-Eighth District wound from Rochester to Buffalo along the coast of Lake Ontario. Because New York lost two seats during the reapportionment of congressional seats, there is no longer a Twenty-Eighth congressional district. Several districts have gained the territory formerly held by the Twenty-Eighth. The new Twenty-Fifth District now represents Rochester, the Twenty-Seventh District represents the coast of Lake Ontario between the Canadian border and Rochester. Finally, the Twenty-Sixth District gained the holdings around Buffalo.
Twenty-Ninth District
The former Twenty-Ninth District covered from south of Rochester to the Pennsylvania border and stretched to just east of Jamestown and west of Ithaca. Due to reapportionment, the district no longer exists. The district was largely absorbed into the new 23rd congressional district, with the 25th and 27th congressional districts also taking some of its territory to the south of Rochester.

Like most of the coaches on their way to the NCAA tournament, Illinois State's Kevin Stallings knew little Sunday about his first-round opponent, Iowa State.
But unlike most coaches, Stallings knew exactly whom to call for a scouting report: his former boss, Roy Williams, whose top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks crushed Iowa State by 24 points in the Big 12 tournament semifinals Saturday.
Stallings' 11th-seeded Redbirds, the pride of the Missouri Valley Conference, will meet sixth-seeded Iowa State in the NCAA Midwest Regional on Thursday at the Palace in Auburn Hills, Mich.
"We know they're an outstanding team," Stallings said at Redbird Arena. "Tim (Floyd, Iowa State's coach) has always been a great defensive coach."
The Redbirds are 24-5 and rolling, with 12 victories in their last 14 games. Iowa State (20-8), by contrast, has dropped four of its last six, including that hammering by Kansas.
But Stallings took no consolation from Iowa State's slow finish. "At this stage of the season, you don't draw any patsies," he said. "There aren't any barking dogs in this tournament."
Iowa State is led by sharpshooter Dedric Willoughby, who averages 18.2 points per game and shoots 45 percent from three-point range.
If Illinois State can upset the Cyclones, it likely will run into the big, bad Cincinnati Bearcats, who take on Butler in the opening round.
The Redbirds were the Valley's regular-season champs, but had they lost in the tournament, they might well have been NIT-bound for the third straight year. The team they beat in the MVC final, Southwest Missouri State (24-8), was snubbed by NCAA selectors Sunday.
"The committee has a tough job to do. We feel fortunate to have had the automatic bid so we didn't have to worry about it," Stallings said.
The Redbirds are making their fifth NCAA tournament appearance, and their first since 1990, when they pushed defending champion Michigan into the final minute before losing 76-70.

Updates: Coronavirus and diabetes
If you have diabetes, you are no more likely to catch coronavirus (COVID-19) than anyone else. However people with diabetes are more vulnerable to developing a severe illness if they do get coronavirus, but the way it affects you can vary from person to person.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) and diabetes updates
We've created this information for people living with diabetes and their families. We hope you find it useful and it answers some of your questions. We'll keep updating this page and you can find all our other coronavirus news stories in News & Views.
All the information below applies to the whole of the UK, unless specified. We've noted where are some differences in guidance and diabetes services across the UK.
Our safety assurances
We keep up to date on government guidance for each nation: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We think about risks to staff, volunteers and members of the public will face and do everything reasonably practicable to minimise them.
We carry out risk assessments, which are documented and reviewed regularly, including where we engage with organisations that may come into contact with members of the public on our behalf.
We confirm that we have complied with the government's guidance on managing the risk of COVID-19.
If you have diabetes – regardless of what type you have – you are no more likely to catch coronavirus than anyone else. And the majority of people who do get coronavirus – whether they have diabetes or not – will have mild symptoms and don't need to go into hospital.
However everyone with diabetes, including those with type 1, type 2, gestational and other types, is more vulnerable to developing a severe illness if they do get coronavirus, but the way it affects you can vary from person to person. In children, the risk of becoming seriously ill with coronavirus is very low.
For most adults, coronavirus is a mild illness. But some people develop a more serious illness and sadly could die. Research shows us that there are certain risk factors that make people with diabetes at higher risk, like being older, having a high HbA1c, or having a history of diabetes-related complications. There are other factors too, like your BMI and ethnicity, that research shows can have an impact on your risk.
There are some risk factors that you can't change, but others where you can reduce your risk.
Being ill can make your blood sugar go all over the place. Your body tries to fight the illness by releasing stored glucose (sugar) into your blood stream to give you energy. But your body can't produce enough or any insulin to cope with this, so your blood sugars rise.
Your body is working overtime to fight the illness, making it harder to manage your diabetes. This means you're more at risk of having serious blood sugar highs and lows, potentially leading to DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) or HHS (hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state).
The UK government is reviewing coronavirus restrictions for the UK on a regular basis. There are some things that can help you keep safe:
get the coronavirus vaccines if you are eligible
wash hands regularly, for 20 seconds
keep indoor spaces well ventilated and opt for meeting outdoors, where possible
wear a face covering in enclosed spaces, if not exempt.
Lateral flow tests
Rapid lateral flow tests are available to encourage people without coronavirus symptoms to test themselves regularly. You can order free rapid lateral flow tests online to test for coronavirus at home. You can order one pack a day for home delivery; one pack contains 7 tests.
Depending on where you live, you may also be able to collect rapid lateral flow tests from a pharmacy or from a community centre, such as a library, or get a test at a site. If you're collecting tests, you can collect two packs at a time (14 tests in total).
The government has produced a step-by-step guide for people with visual impairment, on how to use and return your test kits.
Managing your blood glucose (sugar) levels
Research has shown that having a high HbA1c can increase your risk of becoming seriously ill from coronavirus. So it's important to work with your diabetes team to try to bring your blood sugar levels to a healthy range.
We've explored some of the research behind reducing your risk, including vitamin D supplements.
The most important way people living with diabetes can lower their risk of becoming seriously ill from coronavirus is to avoid catching the virus in the first place. A vaccine is the most effective way to prevent infection and that's why we strongly encourage you to get the vaccine when you're offered it.
All adults aged 16 and over, including people with diabetes, have now been invited to have their vaccine.
If you are 16 or over and live in England, you can book an appointment online to receive your vaccine or call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week. You can also find a walk-in coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination site.
Children aged 12 to 15 are now being offered the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Parents and guardians will get a letter with information about when the vaccine will be offered. Most children will be given their vaccine at school.
All other 12 to 15-year-olds are being offered two doses, no less than three months apart.
Booster vaccines
The booster vaccination programme has been extended for all people aged 18 and over.
Those eligible will only be able to book an appointment for a booster dose if it's been at least 3 months since their second dose of the vaccine.
The booster will be offered to adults in groups of descending age order, with priority given to older adults and those over 16 in groups identified as being at higher risk, including people with diabetes.
People who are eligible for this will be contacted by the NHS when they are due for their booster appointment. Please wait to be contacted before booking a booster dose.
Severely immunosuppressed people will be offered another booster which for some people will be their fourth dose.
The NHS is currently working on plans to deliver these changes to the booster vaccine programme. If you are in England and aged 16 or over and living with diabetes or another condition that puts you at higher risk, or for all aged 40 and over and received your second vaccine three months ago or longer, booking can be done online: book your COVID-19 booster vaccine appointment
Get more information about the coronavirus vaccines, including who can get it and how safe it is for people with diabetes.
The government has also released an easy-read guide about the booster vaccinations.
You may be asked to show your NHS Covid Pass, or vaccine passport, to prove your vaccination status before you can enter some indoor venues and large indoor and outdoor events.
To get your NHS Covid Pass, you will need to download and register your details on the NHS App if you are in England or Wales, the NHS Scotland Covid Status App or the Northern Ireland Covidcert NI app. You can also choose to get a letter sent to you in the post. Find out more about Getting an NHS COVID Pass.
The NHS App is not the same as the NHS COVID-19 App which is part of the Test and Trace service in England and Test, Trace, Protect in Wales. To use the NHS App, you must be aged 13 or older and registered with a GP surgery. Download the NHS App free on your smartphone or tablet.
Under-18s, people who are taking part in vaccine trials and people who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons are exempt from vaccine passports.
Following the discovery of the Omicron coronavirus variant, the UK government reintroduced some restrictions in England. Face coverings are a requirement in most indoor settings, in shops and on public transport, unless you are under 12 years old or exempt. Children in secondary schools are strongly advised to wear face masks in communal areas.
Diabetes UK supports the continued wearing of face masks. Wearing a mask helps keep you and others safe and is a simple way to reduce the risk to clinically extremely vulnerable people as they go about their lives.
We hope employers across the UK continue to be considerate of the wellbeing of their employees and consider the benefits of encouraging face masks within their premises.
With coronavirus cases on the rise, it's important that all of us do our bit to help the most vulnerable people in our society stay safe and well.
A legal requirement to wear a face covering in certain settings also remains in place in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland:
In Scotland, masks must be worn in shops, on public transport, at work as well as in pubs, cafes and restaurants when not seated.
In Wales, masks are legally required on public transport, in taxis and in all public indoor areas apart from pubs and restaurants.
In Northern Ireland, face coverings must be worn on public transport, in shops, when entering or leaving places of worship and when leaving your seat or table at hospitality venues.
There are certain reasons why some people don't need to wear a face covering – called exemptions. These include children (depending on their age), if you have asthma, and lots more. But these exemptions are different depending on where you live, so check your national government websites for the most up-to-date list – we've added some useful links below. If these exemptions apply to you, then you don't need to wear one. But if nothing on the list applies to you, then there's no reason why you shouldn't wear a face covering.
We know it's not that simple. Wearing a mask can take some getting used to, and can feel very strange at first. Some of you have told us that wearing a mask makes you feel anxious or you find it hard to breathe. There are lots of different masks out there so try to find one that suits you best. You also could try wearing it around the house for a bit, to get used to breathing in it and moving about while it's on.
If you spot someone not wearing a mask when they're out and about, try not to make a judgement – there could be lots of invisible reasons for this and it's not something that's in your control. Some people may prefer to have something to hand that says they don't need to wear a face covering. You can print these from the UK Government website or make the message your phone screensaver.
If you get coronavirus
If you do get coronavirus, it's really important that you follow your sick day rules. This will help you to keep your blood sugars in range as much as possible, so you can stay well and fight the virus. We know it's not that always that simple. Take a look at our new courses in Learning Zone to help you remember your sick day rules and manage your blood sugar levels, and our guide on staying home and managing diabetes.
Some people are being treated for coronavirus with a steroid called dexamethasone, which can make your blood sugars go high. Find out more about the steroid dexamethasone and diabetes.
Remember, for urgent medical help, call 999.
"Thankfully this past week I've been feeling much better and I'm not as short of breath. My symptoms have definitely been in line with those of Covid-19 but I suppose I'll never know for definite if I've had the virus!"

How coronavirus can affect children with diabetes
Although children can catch the virus, they normally have very mild symptoms and we are not aware of any children with diabetes who have died from coronavirus. However, as with all people with diabetes, an illness like coronavirus can make it harder to manage your child's diabetes and they still have a risk of DKA. So it's important that you make sure your child follows social distancing and handwashing recommendations to reduce their risk of catching it.
Get more information about children and school.
How coronavirus can affect pregnant women with diabetes
The same rules apply to you as for everyone with diabetes. If you're pregnant and have diabetes, then you are not more at risk of getting the virus. However, if you do get the virus, you could be more at risk of developing complications and it could become harder to manage your diabetes. For that reason, it's really important you're extra careful and follow social distancing rules.
You can find all the latest information for pregnant women from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
How coronavirus can affect people in type 2 diabetes remission
Diabetes remission works differently for different people, and we still don't know enough about it. So we don't know for sure how the virus could affect you if you're in remission. Everyone, including people in diabetes remission, should carefully follow social distancing rules. You can find more general information in our guide to type 2 diabetes remission.
How coronavirus can affect people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups
The risk of death from coronavirus for some ethnic groups is higher than for people of white ethnicity. But it is important to remember that there are lots of factors involved, like age, and overall risk of dying from coronavirus is very low.
In England and Wales, data from the Office of National Statistics shows how people from certain Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups are more at risk than people of white ethnicity. Research in Scotland hasn't shown this increased risk, but the BAME population there is very small. And we don't have data on this in Northern Ireland at the moment.
Data from Office of National Statistics. Covid-19 deaths by ethnicity in England and Wales between 2 March and 10 April 2020.
We don't know why this is happening. The data takes into account factors which we know can increase risk, such as age, socioeconomic status and health, including obesity. And we do know that some ethnic minority groups are more at risk of developing conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart problems, which are linked to increased risk of death from coronavirus.
It's clear that we need further research to understand what's causing this – whether the causes are physical, cultural or social. We are pushing for clearer guidance from the government on risks to people from ethnic minority backgrounds.
Data from NHS England in May showed us that, for those who become so unwell with coronavirus that they need to go to hospital, the risk of dying is higher for people living with diabetes than people without the condition. But the risks aren't the same for everyone with diabetes. Most deaths have been in the elderly with very few under the age of 50 and none in children.
This study only looked at the number of people who have died in hospital as a result of coronavirus. It doesn't include information on the many thousands who have recovered at home or who have been successfully discharged from hospital. We are calling on the government and NHS to ensure this data is used to update guidance and policies to keep people who are at greatest risk protected and supported. Research has shown us that people with diabetes who have the highest risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from coronavirus are those over the age of 50, who have a high HbA1c (above 75mmol/mol or 9%) and have received treatment for diabetes complications.
Here our Head of Research Communications, Dr Lucy Chambers, explains more about the risk factors, including type of diabetes, age and ethnicity, and why for most people your risk of dying remains very low. Although this research is England based, we believe this level of risk will be true in all nations. And to find out more detail on these statistics, go to our coronavirus deaths in people with diabetes news story.
We're funding research projects looking at the specific ways coronavirus affects people living with diabetes. We know there's a lot more to learn about this new type of virus, and we know we need answers fast.
There is growing evidence to suggest that coronavirus might be triggering diabetes in some people, or making the condition worse for others. We've taken a look at the research so far and explain what scientists are doing to find answers.
Advice for clinically extremely vulnerable people
The advice for clinically extremely vulnerable people to 'shield' came to an end earlier this year. Shielding was a way of protecting 'clinically extremely vulnerable' people who are at a very high risk of severe illness and needing to go to hospital if they catch coronavirus. It meant staying at home almost all of the time, with no face-to-face contact.
Governments in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have each set out their own guidance for people who were listed as clinically extremely vulnerable.
Wherever you live, it's still really important to keep following any coronavirus guidance in your area and to shield if you feel it's right for you.
The shielding programme has now ended in England. This means that people who were previously considered clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) will not be advised to shield in the future or follow specific national guidance. If you were previously on the shielded list, you should receive a letter before the end of September.
Your diabetes team may provide individual advice to you about your risk, depending on your individual situation and any complications or other health conditions you may have. You could raise this at your next routine appointment.
You might also want to continue to take precautions to reduce your risk such as:
making sure those you are meeting have been vaccinated - you might want to wait until 14 days after everyone's second dose of COVID-19 vaccine before being in close contact with others;
considering continuing to practise social distancing if that feels right for you and your friends;
asking friends and family to take a rapid lateral flow antigen test before visiting you;
asking home visitors to wear face coverings;
avoiding crowded spaces.
You should also take up your offer of a coronavirus vaccine booster when you are offered it and your annual flu jab.
Our helpline team is here to support or provide more information. Call 0342 123 2399 to speak to one of our highly trained advisors about any questions or concerns.
There are 5 COVID-19 Protection Levels (0-4) in Scotland. All of Scotland has moved out of the levels system. You can find more information on the government website.
The guidance to shield for clinically vulnerable people in Scotland ended on 26 April.
There are 5 COVID-19 Alert Levels (0-4) in Wales. All of Wales is currently under Alert Level 0. Find out more about these rules on the government website.
Those who are clinically extremely vulnerable should have got letters with advice on how to stay safe, including things like working from home. Here's the latest Welsh government advice for people who are clinically extremely vulnerable, including where you can get more support with things like food supplies.
After 1 April, the advice for clinically extremely vulnerable people to shield in Wales ended.
The advice for people who are clinically extremely vulnerable to shield in Northern Ireland came to an end on 12 April.
If you are clinically extremely vulnerable, the recommendation is to continue to exercise great care and work from home where possible. If it is not possible, you can go to work, provided your employer has taken the proper measures to ensure social distancing.
Find more information on the Northern Ireland government website.
In England, people have been told they should work from home if at all possible.
In Scotland, employers have been told they are legally required to allow staff to work from home where possible, until at least the middle of January. A workplace testing scheme, which delivers lateral flow kits twice a week, is in place for staff who cannot work remotely.
In Northern Ireland, ministers said that more people working from home would help to reduce the risk of infection both inside and outside the workplace. However, they didn't tell employers to impose home working, but instead asked them to support it "where possible".
In Wales, employers are encouraged to let people work from home where possible. Guidance says staff should not be "required or placed under pressure to return" to the workplace unless there's a clear business need.
Wherever you live in the UK, your employer must make sure your workplace is safe – this means doing a risk assessment at work. We know that some people with diabetes don't feel safe going back to work, so we have been calling on the Government and employers to make it safer.
If you have concerns about your safety at work, we've got more information about your rights in our diabetes and work guide.
If you can't work from home and have a child with diabetes
Similarly to a workplace assessment, your child's school must do a risk assessment at school. We've got more information on children and school during the pandemic.
If you're a parent with diabetes working at home
We know some of you are worried about your child bringing the virus home from school and that's understandable. Use our quick and easy Learning Zone coronavirus course to learn how to keep yourself well. And make sure you know what your child's school should be doing about maintaining social distancing.
"I've been unsure as to what I was supposed to be doing, but the school said they don't expect to see me for the foreseeable future. It was really nice to get that reassurance."
- Jon talked to us about managing diabetes and working as a teacher during lockdown, read his story
Children and school
Everyone, including children with diabetes, can get coronavirus. The rules about on social distancing and hand washing apply to children with diabetes too.
Schools should be practicing social distancing for your child. This is to prevent the virus from spreading between children and your home. We know this is easier said than done, and can depend on how old your child is and the size of the school.
You may be worried about whether it is safe for your child to go to school if they have diabetes. Speak to the school and to your child's diabetes team about your concerns. And read our guide for parents on what you should expect from your child's school – including doing a risk assessment and having the right policies in place.
While the risk of children with diabetes becoming seriously ill with coronavirus is very low, we've been in touch with the Department for Education to raise your concerns and ask that when their school-specific guidance is published – it includes guidance on supporting children with health conditions too.
If you have coronavirus symptoms, do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital even if you have an appointment.
If you're already having treatment for something like a foot or eye problem, and you don't have coronavirus symptoms, then your appointments should still carry on. If you're worried about going to your clinic or hospital at this time or want to check whether your appointment is still going ahead, call the number on your appointment letter or speak to your GP.
Measures are in place to keep health and care settings safe. Patients, visitors and NHS staff are still required to continue to use face coverings and maintain social distancing in all healthcare settings.
It's likely that most appointments with your diabetes healthcare team will be on the phone or online, using a video call. There are some groups of people who need to be seen face-to-face more than others at the moment. Your diabetes healthcare team will give you advice on the best type of appointment for you at this time. Having a phone or video appointment might feel strange if you're not used to it but we've got advice on preparing for a remote appointments.
Most routine appointments like your annual diabetes review have been delayed or postponed. But you should be able to reschedule once things go back to normal. In the meantime, follow your current routine including checking your feet daily, keep to a healthy diet and try to keep active. Eye screening is still going ahead in some circumstances and for some people who are at higher risk of problems, such as pregnant women with diabetes. All eye screening clinics should be using personal protective equipment (PPE).
And remember to get your free flu jab as early as possible. Speak to your GP or go to your local pharmacy. Find out more about the flu jab.
If you are invited to an in-person appointment it's very important to attend unless you develop coronavirus symptoms. This is to make sure you stay as healthy as possible during the pandemic. Health professionals will be wearing PPE and observing social distancing where possible.
"Flu increases the risk of needing to go into hospital for people with diabetes so we must do all we can to keep protected against flu this year. That's why the free NHS flu jab is so important."
Dan Howarth, our Head of Care and Diabetes Specialist Nurse
If you spot something new you're concerned about, like a cut or blister on your foot, call your GP and explain your situation. If you can't get through, call 111 for advice. If you have any change in your vision you should contact your local screening service or optometrist.
You may be in a situation where you need medical attention – this may be something related to your diabetes, or it may be something unrelated like an injury or illness. This means you might have to go to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department of your local hospital and you might have to wait a while before being seen.
During this time, your care in hospital may be a little different to normal, for example you may not see the diabetes team or not have family with you when you go into hospital. For any problem, regardless of the current situation, you should go to hospital as you would've done before – the NHS is still open. Read our guide to managing your diabetes while in hospital.
Travel restrictions differ depending on where you live, so we recommend you check the appropriate guidance before travelling:
Guidance for England
Guidance for Scotland
Guidance for Wales
Guidance for Northern Ireland
Check the UK governmentwebsite for the latest rules on travelling. You could also check the TravelHealthPro website for the latest travel health guidance.
Take a look at our guide to travelling when you have diabetes for lots more information, including travel insurance to cover coronavirus.
We know some people have had challenges getting access to food deliveries and the food you need to stay healthy. We have written to the major supermarkets and are actively monitoring the situation.
You've also been asking about medicines and diabetes technology. There is no need for the public or NHS to stockpile insulin, diabetes medicines or tech. This could cause shortages and put other patients at risk. Pharmacies have been asked to not support patients trying to stockpile. Get more info about picking up prescriptions.
The government has been working with industry and partners to monitor the impact of coronavirus on the UK supply chain of medicines and technology and put in place measures to protect UK patients. This includes banning companies from buying medicines like insulin that are meant for UK patients and selling on for a higher price in another country. This will help to ensure an uninterrupted supply of crucial medicines like insulin for NHS hospitals treating coronavirus patients.
We want to reassure you that if you're using an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor or a flash glucose monitor (a FreeStyle Libre), you will still be able to get these – whether that's usually through prescriptions or you pay for these yourself. And if your insulin pump warranty is due to expire soon, the companies who make these will extend this or supply a replacement if that's needed at any point.
For those who need or choose to buy test strips, we have negotiated with several companies to make certain strips available through our catalogue and online shop.
You can contact NHS Volunteer Responders, who can arrange for a volunteer to deliver your shopping to you.
Tips for picking up your prescriptions
Pharmacies are working hard to make sure that everyone with diabetes gets the medicines they need. Help them to help you by following these tips:
Follow government advice and don't go to a pharmacy if you or anyone in your household has a temperature or a new and continuous cough, even if mild. Some organisations like Boots pharmacy have an online service and are encouraging customers to choose for their medicines to be delivered to their homes – you don't have to sign for these now, the delivery driver will leave the package somewhere safe and let you know.
Plan ahead where possible. Our advice is to try and order your next prescription at least 14 days before it is due.
Put your contact details on prescriptions so pharmacies can let you know when your medicines are ready, so you won't need to be in the pharmacy for as long. Please don't ring the pharmacy unless it's urgent.
If you're self-isolating, see if family, friends or neighbours can pick up your medication for you. If you don't have anyone who can collect your medicine, speak to your community pharmacy for advice about how they can help. There might be community or voluntary groups ready to help in your area.
If you're well and can visit the pharmacy yourself, think about how you can help family, friends and neighbours who are self-isolating by collecting their medicines on their behalf (you may need to take ID with you and will need to know the name and address of the person you are collecting for).
Don't ask for extra medicine. Continue to get medicines as normal and don't stockpile.
Ask your prescriber about electronic repeat dispensing, so you can order your repeat prescriptions online.
Where can I get more support?
We know some people may not have friends and family able to help while they are isolated at home. You may be able to get help from voluntary groups in your area or your local councils or local authorities. Check your government websites for more information.
You could also find out if there's a diabetes local group in your area. Use our postcode search.
You might be feeling worried and anxious about coronavirus and how it might affect you or your family and friends. We know this could be a stressful time, so you may need support with how you're feeling.
We have some helpful information to help you cope with stress and other emotions, or you might like to call our helpline to talk it through with someone. We also have a useful coronavirus thread on our online forum, where members are sharing information and experiences so you might find answers to any more questions.
We recently arranged for Devanshi, who is living with type 1 diabetes and living in Leicester, to meet Anna who works on our helpline. Did you know that you don't need a question about diabetes to call us? Find out what Anna and Devanshi chatted out.

Rural Outreach Concerts
Rural Outreach Concerts is an initiative whereby each of the concerts are taken on the road to small rural towns in eastern Iowa. The goal is to bring high-quality chamber music to rural audiences in a non-threatening way in the comfort of their own environments.
By collaborating with these rural communities, we develop a broad audience for chamber music, serve the cultural needs of the under-served rural population in Iowa, and offer expanded performance opportunities for the participating musicians.
Rural Outreach Concerts was initiated in FY99 with a concert at Sts. Peter & Paul Community Center — a former Catholic Church in Solon, Iowa with strong ties to the local Czech community. It is located on a gravel road in the country near Solon, and has become an activity center that draws audience from many surrounding rural communities. Since 1999 rural performances has expanded to rural libraries, early twentieth-century opera houses, restored historical churches, and more. One example is the St. Wenceslaus Church in Spillville, Iowa, where Antonin Dvorak played the organ when he resided in this rural Czech community with his family in the summer of 1893. Our concerts served over a dozen rural sites.
A strong and long-time collaborator is the Ainsworth Opera House. Mike Zahs, the Programming Director, volunteers to collaborate in identifying and subsequently bringing Red Cedar performances to other small Eastern Iowa Communities. Mr. Zahs is about bringing culture to rural communities. He writes:
"We had over 100 people attend the Red Cedar Chamber Music concert (near our capacity), and they enjoyed the experience greatly. Our community, as well as most other small Iowa communities, has a great and appreciative audience. Most of the opera house audience would not feel comfortable attending a chamber music concert in Iowa City. At the opera house, they can sit with people they know and be more at ease being in the audience."
The program is funded, in part, by generous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Augustine Foundation, Chamber Music America, and The Iowa Arts Council.
Sts Peter & Paul Chapel is a picturesque country church, no a community center, near Solon, Iowa (pop ,000). It is maintained by a strong community of rural Iowans who share a Strong Czech heritage.
The Fayette Opera House located in Fayette Iowa (population 1,300) was lovingly restored by dedicated volunteers. Lovely acoustics.
The Fairfax Public Library, Fairfax, Iowa(pop 2,100). Because the train runs just a half block away, the sound of whistles and the rhythm of the rails occasionally accompany us!
The The Ainsworth Opera House (Ainsworth, Iowa: population 569) is a special place. We have performed there annually for more than 15 years. People in surrounding counties watch the Ainsworth schedule carefully and drive for miles to the many varied events here.
The Williamsburg Library (Williamsburg, Iowa: population 3,100) draws audience for chamber music from surrounding counties.


Legal & General announces that it has purchased the Sovereign Shopping Centre in the centre of Weston-Super-Mare, in partnership with North Somerset Council.
On completion, the shopping centre will immediately be fully let to North Somerset Council, enabling them to retain over 60% of the shopping centre's income with no borrowing or expenditure of their own. This will generate a long-term revenue stream for the council, allow for further local investment, and enable North Somerset to curate the town centre more effectively.
The investment is part of a wider strategy for Weston-super-Mare, including converting several shops and car parks in the town centre to residential housing; regenerating the town and creating much-needed housing for local people, whilst focusing retail demand on the Sovereign Centre, to the benefit of the council's revenue.
The purchase of the Sovereign Centre supports the council's vision for local growth and regeneration in Weston-super-Mare's town centre. The major expansion and development of Weston College, the construction of Dolphin Square leisure complex, significant improvements to the seafront, creation of the Italian Gardens - coupled with planned housing growth and further business development will continue to impact positively on the local economy and life choices of residents and visitors alike making Weston an even better place to live and work.
By partnering with a progressive and proactive council, we can enable the regeneration of necessary retail provision for the area, deliver them sizeable revenue surpluses, and act as a catalyst for their plans for wider regeneration, boosting local jobs, homes, and driving economic growth.


Shares of Eli Lilly (LLY) declined after reporting third quarter earnings before the open Tuesday morning. The slide could present an attractive opportunity to bullish investors.
The pharmaceutical giant is giving back all of its early week gains, and then some, as morning selling volume picks up. The earnings release that provided a stock pop in early morning hours has turned into a slide that took the stock down as much 5% directly after the call.
Still, the company's long-term value proposition presents opportunities, according to analysts.
"The growth prospects for LLY's key drugs - Trulicity, Jardiance, Taltz and Verzenio- as well as its pipeline assets, especially in pain, are underappreciated, in our view," Credit Suisse analyst Louise Chen wrote in her take on the earnings release.
Chen added that recent efficacy studies and pursuit of yet more drug approvals as well as the profitable spinoff of Elanco Animal Health Sciences support an undervalued thesis for the pharmaceutical stock.
She set a $128 per share price target and a "Overweight" rating for the stock.
Not all analysts were as enthusiastic on the growth statistics of many key drugs.
Credit Suisse analyst Vamil Divan homed in on the laggard products as he elucidated his mixed review.
"Performance of key products that are part of the new product story were mixed," he said. "Olumiant US sales of $800K were surprisingly light in its first full quarter on the US market, while Humalog sales came in below expectations."
Olumiant, a drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis, was the smallest part of the "New Medicines" revenue segment with just $55.6 million in global revenues as compared to Trulicity's $816.2 million in revenue.
Humalog, an insulin drug and the most profitable established drug for the company, meanwhile saw a 5% decline in revenue globally and a 12% drop in domestic sales.
There also remains the worry over generic drug competition cutting further into these traditional cash cow offerings.
Even still, Divan was not ready to sell Eli Lilly, issuing a "Neutral" rating and a $112 price target, still above Tuesday's midday price.
According to FactSet data, the sentiment on the Street is largely bullish.
Six of eight analysts surveyed in the last month are issuing "Buy" rating for the drug maker, with all six raising price targets amidst regulatory and efficacy tailwinds.
Volume charts suggest the slide might be due to some profit taking from traders after the stock's nearly 40% run over the past six months.
