IMO, start with the eat-in restaurants. Allow 50% occupancy so the diners sit apart, with the clean-up crew conspicuously spraying down the tables. In another month, go to 100%.
Yeah, it's a pain to have someone do a head count at the door, but it's a lot better than completely closed. Get that cash flow going again.
Wrong answer!
High-risk people can be given extra protection. Everyone else needs to have all freedom restored this month, or there could be riots.
Escape from NY? Do you want the other states infected?
RE: High-risk people can be given extra protection.
Well, here’s the challenge -— how to differentiate between “everyone else” and “High risk”.
All I know is that the ChiCom leadership is having a good giggle at what the Kung Flu has done to us. How we found it necessary to ruin our economy to defeat it.
Total US flu deaths are lower than last years flu season
RE: Total US flu deaths are lower than last years flu season
1. Where’s the source for this?
2. What about total Covid-19 deaths vs Flu deaths?
Little Napoleon Fauci has very high trust and popularity ratings. Higher than Trumps. This is why Kudlow and Trump tip toe around Fauci and Birx.

So add in Covid 19 deaths and you have your numbers. Preliminary or not.
No, we need to wall NY off and make a prison. Except for Kurt Russell.
Massage parlors and car repair shops have been open throughout this ordeal in California. Hair salons, not so much.
I think if everyone WEARS MASKS indoors and outdoors in densely populated areas, continues with the 6 ft (personally I think it should be 18 ft) distance along with sanitizing work areas and surfaces, things can be reopened slowly, starting with the states which have the lowest CV rates. Sorry NY, you got a long way to go!
A plan for reopening and necessary behavior should have been communicated daily to the American public instead of a “hair on fire” approach the day before it opens, which is likely to be how it will be handled if the past month is any indication.
We can say goodbye this year to going to the movies, sporting events, anything with a large crowd that can become a super-spreading event! Take some lessons from the Spanish Flu!
WASH. YOUR. HANDS!!! Don’t shake hands ever again!
I am amazed at how the American public are usually a bunch of sheeple, wanting to be told what to do by their government until there is a freaking pandemic, then they don’t want anyone telling them they need to wear a mask and stop shaking hands and put a little distance between themselves and their fellow man for awhile.
Churches should be allowed to have drive-in services or even outdoor services where everyone spreads out. It is clear that being in a mob under a roof is not a good idea RIGHT NOW!
This! So much this!
You can see that the government hacks and media snakes are getting their pay checks. Some pigs are more special than others.
Flu season began last October 1st. The first U.S. coronavirus death was on February 29th so the flu had a 5 month head start.
