"So glad to know Bill di Blasio wants to be the next governor."

Things seem to work well. No one is complaining, and the odd person without a mask on outside usually is wearing it around their chin and forgot to use it. It is extremely unusual to see an unmasked person.
It is hard to do vigorous exercise in a mask. It could be dangerous. We have a fitness business--yoga, martial arts etc. It is really hard to do yogic breathing in a mask due to long exhales. People won't come to class.

Why on earth are people wearing masks outside?

We've known since the massive George Floyd protests that even in screaming mobs of people, Covid doesn't spread outdoors in any meaningful sense.

I find it strange that people are okay with the police arresting someone who doesn't cover their face outdoors. I guess no more 'defund the police?'

Sounds like a fun time.

Thanks for giving me another place to add to my list of places to never go.

So as a tourist, you briefly visited an area with over million inhabitants and thousands of businesses and are going to tell us how it’s going for “them”?
I rate this post
A+ For arrogance
F- for credibility

As I said, Monterrey, Mexico, a city of 4.5 million, seems to operate just fine with the mandates. It's only the spreadneck fear mongers who complain in the USA and Canada.

I'm here for six months. I am loving the compliance and concerns for other citizens people have here, as opposed to the spreadnecks in Florida.
