NYC Resumes Indoor Dining -- Sorta


So the good news is that NYC restaurants may offer indoor dining again on September 30th. But it comes with all kinds of rules that almost make it pointless -- 25% capacity, temperture checks at the door, tables at least 6 feet apart, strict air-filtration requirements, at least one diner must leave contact tracing info with the management, masks on at all times except when at the table, no bar service. I don't know how any of these restaurants, with all this extra work and limited clientele, will be able to earn enough money each night to make this worth it. Also, these rules really show that re-starting indoor dining probably isn't safe and worth doing. But the desire for normality is strong -- even if the way to make "normal" possible is totally bizarre.
