NYC restaurants threatenen to sue for indoor dining,hrs later Cuomo suggests to ban outdoor dining

[It’s so Joever]

At this point, New York should reopen indoor dining.
They have such a low positivity rate and case rate. I get that they are traumatized from Spring, but with the current trends, they have no reason to keep it closed.
Closing outdoor seating is ridiculous and definitely a horrible move.

NJ opened indoor dining today and it seems to be going smoothly. Supermarket dining areas were spaced out properly, bigger restaurants are opening quickly with well-spaced out tables while smaller restaurants are still figuring it out and may wait out 50% capacity. We'll see what the numbers say in a few weeks.

That’s the way to do it.
As long as the numbers are low, states should slowly reopen, but not be afraid to pull back if s**t hits the fan. Colorado did that to an extent and we are doing fine. I was skeptical at first but I will admit I was wrong and that Polis was smart in his reopening.
 (although we won’t be doing well soon because of schools but that’s a whole different story)

My current opinion on schools is that middle and high schools (along with colleges) should continue to be remote, while some of their buildings should be temporarily converted to house smaller elementary classes. We can't continue to pretend remote education is in any way suitable for little kids who can't lose a critical year of development, while older kids can continue to learn and do classwork from their computer.

That’s my stance as well.
Not primarily because of the education issues, but because younger kids don’t spread it as well whereas older kids spread it at the same level as adults.
