Someone I work with flew for vacation two weeks ago. She said planes were full.

I can't make sense of these numbers either:

74% of COVID spread in New York is from household gatherings.
1.43% comes from bars and restaurants — the fifth highest cause of infections.

I read somewhere Cuomo said he can't stop household gatherings so he will stop the only thing he can, indoor dining.

Actually it doesn't. You are interrupting the livelihood of so many people and not even making a dent in stopping the spread of Covid.

Restaurants should just close up for good. Let the city rot.

I hope more of these great eateries make it out the city. Sucks for the walking crowd of Manhattan, but I’d love to actually drive to restaurant and seek out great spots, outside the city .

Enjoy your Starbucks and Paneras Manhattan !,

Summer and fall were great on LI we went out 2-3 times enjoying inside seating.

Maybe if SI revolts, other business owners will too?

Madison County is 14.1% and others upstate are well into the double digits as well.

The only part of NYC that has had a real problem lately is Staten Island where the numbers are much higher than they are anywhere else in the city. So why the whole city? Shoulda just closed Staten Island down since that has been the real problem.
Or maybe he is just too chicken to close only S.I. There would be too much pushback.
Restaurants are closed to indoor dining in Buffalo, and have been since the area went Orange several weeks ago.

Closing restaurants permanently and firing all staff is the only prudent business decision those in the industry should make at this point.

That way, he lets people think that he’s doing “something positive” to control the spread of the virus. So when he attempts to run for office again, or even the presidency, he’ll still get votes, while he risks a small percentage of them - restaurant owners.
Except everyone in their households knows what an ape he is. We all know that he is ruining lives and businesses. But guess what.

Cuomo takes his cut of the business. The remainder of it goes to you. That remainder is still much larger here than anywhere else in the country except Cali where this Ponzi scheme also happens.

Since your cut is big too, you sit their quietly for twenty years reaping the cash flow knowing this man will ruin your life. The people who are here, know this. We don’t suffer the most. You know who suffers? The people who don’t have property, the people who live in apartment buildings, the people who take less in come than they spend, the people who come here to NY because of “attractions”, city life, etc.

Those new people, hippies or whatever you may call them, for example have a problem with crime in the city, and react to bad laws. The rest of us don’t care if there is crime or bad laws because we are here to make money and that’s it. Don’t want crime? Don’t buy a house in hood. Make sure your real estate agents don’t sel homes in white areas to hood people. This involves sexism racism etc. we all know that. We signed the “agreement”.

The coronavirus thing just highlights the problem hat always existed and the people complaining here online are phablet realizing the problems just know and i only wish we took their internet privileges away because it’s getting annoying to hear their whining.

No shyt, restaurants closed, riots happening, what did you expect this place to be, Disneyland? Taxes going up because fk you.
