New York City restaurants will be allowed open indoor dining at 25% capacity beginning on Valentines Day, February 14, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday.
Cuomo said the city went from 7.1% positivity in January to 4.9% now, and that the current models project those numbers will continue to drop.
Statewide, the positivity rate stands at 4.65%, the lowest since December 11, which Cuomo said was the start of the post-Thanksgiving holiday surge.
New York City’s outdoor dining set ups, like those in the West Village, are not going to get much use through the weekend, with wind chills dipping into the single digits. But there is now hope on the horizon.
The rest of the state is already allowed indoor dining at 50% capacity, and many of those counties also have higher infection rates than the city. But the problem, the governor has said, is that the city’s higher density relative to other regions would allow an outbreak to spread faster.
I can’t stand eating outside in the frosty wind!
Woohoo
Why is that? Could it maybe be bc the WHO finally directed the labs to stop amplifying the PCR tests past 30 cycles after Biden was sworn in? So now we can begin to see a significant drop in the innaccurate ‘case’ numbers bh. So rigged. Criminal
We’ve already passed the holiday peak and numbers are starting to come down, and the vaccine is also reducing spread.
But why listen to reason and logic when there’s a conspiracy theory to believe in…
That only now, the numbers are REALLY starting to “come down”?
The only thing you have to go by, is what the lying liberal biased media, decides to tell you.
Diblazzio as mayor
Cuomo as governor
Trump leaves “all of a sudden” everything goes normal! And then Cuomo said in tishrei time “it’s a political issue.” NO KIDDING?!
After destroying it and blaming Trump. Knew they would do this right after the time too. Hope the brainwashed masses won’t be fooled again. What hypocrisy.
And in other Democratic states, next week. People will start dying from old age. We’ll hear of the flu c’v
Notice we didn’t hear of any flu this year? How everyone had Corona. The numbers will go down drastically and the Democrats will take credit.
Valentine’s Day. Just wait, he’ll block Megillah readings and Purim seudas with family. But as long as he makes the balloon and roses vendors happy, all is good.
Think good it will be good
