Heres some great news!

Gov. Cuomo just announced that indoor restaurant seating will be allowed starting 9/30, at 25% capacity (maximum)

Temperature checks will be required, one person from each group will be required to give their info for contact tracing purposes, and the restaurants will need to have safe/adequate air ventilation.

Slowly but surely, NYC is showing a pulse, and signs of life bouncing back!

Bump. Any news today?

Please nothing pessimistic

For example, Virginia: Increases are in the Southwestern region, which has so far had very few cases. Northern and Eastern region are seeing declines. I'm not sure where all of the college cases are being recorded.

Is it true that it's burning through places? Or is it just when the cases spike, people shut everything down so cases then fall?

No, it’s not true. It’s magical thinking.

It may not be true but it's not "magical thinking"

In this thread a little bit ago, someone linked an article written by a mathematician and researcher bringing lots of data to support this theory. I'll try to go backwords in this thread and find the link (I'm on mobile so might take me some time to find).

Again, I'm not saying this is TRUE but there are researchers who have spoken of this theory and backed up they're hypothesis with hard data... so I'm not sure why it's so quickly dismissed as "magical thinking"?

I hope it burned itself out in NYC

As we slowwwllyy reopen, I am hopeful because our infection rates are steady at under 1% (even as we have started the reopening process).

This is really positive!! Thank you for sharing!

How come I don't hear about this anywhere else?

They will spike today. Numbers are always quiet over the weekend and high on Mondays. Not being reported isn't good news.

Never fear. The media will report Monday's spike. And imply it was due to the holiday and partygoers.

30 consecutive days of less than 1% infection rate in NYC!
