This. Their numbers are staying low because everything is still closed. Gyms, indoor dining, etc. Everyone is working from home. Once schools open up and people go back to work, it’s all over. They aren’t over this, they’re just still locked down.

Get ready for Wave #2 in NYC this fall.

NY had a real shut-down. We had a fake one. Big difference.

NY is doing the same thing Virginia and Maryland did.

New York is doing the right thing, with this decision and in handling the pandemic. I never thought they'd be ahead of the DMV in this. Hats off to them.

We suck, however.

They want to keep the numbers low. An influx of people from all over the country or world would likely result is spikes.

Word choice of rage and foolish is unnecessary. Yes it will interesting to follow.

More than parental rage. There will be teacher rage too. We will see how this all shakes out.
