Re: Venues in NY can operate at 100% capacity..
Posted by NervousNell
So I am currently in south Jersey and there is a wedding going on at the hotel I'm in. I have a view of the reception area from my room. There are no less than 200 people PACKED in there...and I mean packed in there. The room definitely seems tight for that many guests. I think it's a cocktail hour. All mingling, no masks.
I find it hard to believe all those people are vaccinated but who knows.
However, it is very strange to see a large gathering of people, with no distancing again. I feel like I am in bizzaro world.
I mean it's just a regular wedding like you've seen 1000 times. But it seems surreal after these past 14 months.
That’s like last weekend where I went. Just went to a restaurant for a bday and had to wear mask in and out and to bathroom. Thought that was odd as I heard restaurants dropped that. No big deal as I do what I am told.

You are going to see places get back to the "old normal" very quickly.
I was at Mohegan Sun last weekend. Three days prior CT lifted the indoor mask mandate for vaccinated individuals. About half the casino didn't have masks on. Was strange but nice to see.
This was a picture I took of one of the lounges on a Saturday night. No masks. You are going to start seeing more and more of this in NY and NJ.

Wow. Big difference from when I was there in February obviously.
I found it odd here...so many more people were maskless than on Long Island. Like 95 % to Long Island's 5%. The complete reverse. No server or hostess in any restaurant wore a mask either...which was so different than in NY.
Maybe it's just the area I'm in here in Jersey.

Our mask mandate here in NJ was only lifted yesterday and honestly, every store and place I went into everyone was still masked. My guess is because it was a wedding people were quicker to get unmasked. That being said, I agree with the above and think we will see everything return to normal very quickly as the last few mandates are being lifted.

Yes but I'm here for the weekend and every restaurant, the hotel itself, the supermarket we stopped in this morning...same. barely any masks.
We are down at a shore town though so maybe it's that...

I was there last weekend and they were masked, it’s because the mandate was lifted and I’m sure the majority of staff were vaccinated.
The staff are still wearing them in North NJ. My building is not lifting the mask mandate yet.

I'm not seeing that at all in Westchester. It's actually a little weird compare to what people here are saying they are seeing on LI.
It's like no one got the memo.
I know people are going maskless at the gym down the street, but all the stores & take out places haven't changed at all.
My co-op 's pool still has reduced capacity & mask wearing when not in the water for this season (county rules.)

Yes it's definitely because they lifted it on Friday I assume. We arrive on Friday and it was like walking into bizzaro world. I'm used to LI where even though it's been lifted for like 2 weeks, you don't see many maskless. Here it was like the opposite, you don't see many masks.
The signage in our hotel says unvaccinated are ENCOURAGED to wear masks...not required, encouraged.
It just seems different than Long Island

Thanks! It's nice just to be away. But of course we had 2 weeks of gorgeous warm weather and the weekend I go away is freezing and raining non stop. Lol.
But I feel horrible for the poor bride who got married here yesterday. Imagine planning a wedding for Memorial Day weekend at a beach resort, thinking you'll be married on the beach, with beautiful weather and having the weather we had yesterday? That has to suck!

Lastly, everyone in life has a choice but with that comes consequence. You have a right to not get the vaccine but the you can't continually complain about all of the things you can't do because of that choice. Sorry but you don't get to have your cake and eat it too. We're trying to end a pandemic that crippled the ENTIRE globe, if you have to be inconvenienced for a bit until this is behind us then so be it. Don't like it? Get vaccinated.
Exactly!!!!!!
I'm so tired of the complaining and downplaying of the seriousness of this. Very selfish.
Exactly!!! The continuing chorus of "I don't want to quarantine!", "I don't want to wear a mask!", "I don't want to get the vaccine" is so tiring. "They" want this pandemic to just "go away" but refuse to help be a part of the solution. 
Do you see the numbers? We are in a great place and if that is because the vaccine, good. We do need to move on and going maskless now at most places is making things feel more normal.
Quoting myself about numbers as we were talking about this last night at a family bday get together. We all feel (and some had Covid) that people have just stopped getting tested. People are realizing they can just stay home if they feel sick like they normally would. The ones that are really bad and hospitalized are not dying as Suffolk has had no deaths in many days. They know how to control this now.

I also noticed the difference between NY and NJ a few weeks ago when I was in the city. Walking around, a lot of people were wearing masks outside. In NJ the majority of people don’t wear masks outside. This was Mother’s Day weekend.

Lastly, everyone in life has a choice but with that comes consequence. You have a right to not get the vaccine but the you can't continually complain about all of the things you can't do because of that choice. Sorry but you don't get to have your cake and eat it too. We're trying to end a pandemic that crippled the ENTIRE globe, if you have to be inconvenienced for a bit until this is behind us then so be it. Don't like it? Get vaccinated.
Exactly!!!!!!
I'm so tired of the complaining and downplaying of the seriousness of this. Very selfish.
Exactly!!! The continuing chorus of "I don't want to quarantine!", "I don't want to wear a mask!", "I don't want to get the vaccine" is so tiring. "They" want this pandemic to just "go away" but refuse to help be a part of the solution.
Do you see the numbers? We are in a great place and if that is because the vaccine, good. We do need to move on and going maskless now at most places is making things feel more normal.
Quoting myself about numbers as we were talking about this last night at a family bday get together. We all feel (and some had Covid) that people have just stopped getting tested. People are realizing they can just stay home if they feel sick like they normally would. The ones that are really bad and hospitalized are not dying as Suffolk has had no deaths in many days. They know how to control this now.
The reason it's still a good idea to get tested if you think you might have it is for the people you were around. It's unfair to not let people know they were exposed.

So I am currently in south Jersey and there is a wedding going on at the hotel I'm in. I have a view of the reception area from my room. There are no less than 200 people PACKED in there...and I mean packed in there. The room definitely seems tight for that many guests. I think it's a cocktail hour. All mingling, no masks.
I find it hard to believe all those people are vaccinated but who knows.
However, it is very strange to see a large gathering of people, with no distancing again. I feel like I am in bizzaro world.
I mean it's just a regular wedding like you've seen 1000 times. But it seems surreal after these past 14 months.
You are going to see places get back to the "old normal" very quickly.
I was at Mohegan Sun last weekend. Three days prior CT lifted the indoor mask mandate for vaccinated individuals. About half the casino didn't have masks on. Was strange but nice to see.
This was a picture I took of one of the lounges on a Saturday night. No masks. You are going to start seeing more and more of this in NY and NJ.
Wow. Big difference from when I was there in February obviously.
I found it odd here...so many more people were maskless than on Long Island. Like 95 % to Long Island's 5%. The complete reverse. No server or hostess in any restaurant wore a mask either...which was so different than in NY.
Maybe it's just the area I'm in here in Jersey.
Our mask mandate here in NJ was only lifted yesterday and honestly, every store and place I went into everyone was still masked. My guess is because it was a wedding people were quicker to get unmasked. That being said, I agree with the above and think we will see everything return to normal very quickly as the last few mandates are being lifted.
Yes but I'm here for the weekend and every restaurant, the hotel itself, the supermarket we stopped in this morning...same. barely any masks.
We are down at a shore town though so maybe it's that...
I was there last weekend and they were masked, it’s because the mandate was lifted and I’m sure the majority of staff were vaccinated.
The staff are still wearing them in North NJ. My building is not lifting the mask mandate yet.
Yes it's definitely because they lifted it on Friday I assume. We arrive on Friday and it was like walking into bizzaro world. I'm used to LI where even though it's been lifted for like 2 weeks, you don't see many maskless. Here it was like the opposite, you don't see many masks.
The signage in our hotel says unvaccinated are ENCOURAGED to wear masks...not required, encouraged.
It just seems different than Long Island
I also noticed the difference between NY and NJ a few weeks ago when I was in the city. Walking around, a lot of people were wearing masks outside. In NJ the majority of people don’t wear masks outside. This was Mother’s Day weekend.
CT too. Nobody really wears masks in CT. The only thing I can think of is many are still traumatized from just how bad NYC was hit. Nowhere else faced bodies stacked on top of one another in trailers and mass burials in a field. I definitely wear my mask less. I need to wear it all day at work and I still put it on in stores as most stores I've been to still require it. But its nice to not have to wear it all the time!

Not to mention, the "numbers" then do not reflect reality. IF, as you claim to know, "no one" is getting tested anymore, then the low numbers you are relying on are not accurate

I'm not seeing that at all in Westchester. It's actually a little weird compare to what people here are saying they are seeing on LI.
It's like no one got the memo.
I know people are going maskless at the gym down the street, but all the stores & take out places haven't changed at all.
My co-op 's pool still has reduced capacity & mask wearing when not in the water for this season (county rules.)
Agree. They got the memo. They’re ignoring the memo. I anticipate we are a long way off from no masks. Even camps are ignoring the new guidance and still requiring the kids wear masks outdoors.

Enjoy the weekend despite the weather!
Thanks! It's nice just to be away. But of course we had 2 weeks of gorgeous warm weather and the weekend I go away is freezing and raining non stop. Lol.
But I feel horrible for the poor bride who got married here yesterday. Imagine planning a wedding for Memorial Day weekend at a beach resort, thinking you'll be married on the beach, with beautiful weather and having the weather we had yesterday? That has to suck!
I'm looking forward to finally getting away soon too, I've missed that the last year. Hopefully you still a fun time despite the weather.
Definitely a terrible wedding weekend, poor bride. Not what you expect in May of all months.

Getting tested for COVID takes 5 minutes so if you suspect you have it you should absolutely get tested and give the people around you a heads up. It's a simple courtesy and helps to keep infection rates low.
Why do you argue EVERYTHING and always insist on doing the opposite of everyone else?

The fact that she thinks COVID is anything like other illnesses you may not go to the doctor for speaks volumes. I go to the doctor if I think i have strep or the flu, not for a cold or stomach virus. But we should all know by now that covid is not the same as a cold or stomach bug. You could expose someone who could die. People don't die from colds. But I am not surprised as she refuses to do anything for anyone besides herself.. Thank goodness I do not know one person this stupid in real life.

Was is your explanation of the numbers dropping then when only 46% is fully vaccinated and vaccinated people are still getting Covid?

If I have fever and Covid like symptoms, yes. I go to the dr. I was sick w fever and some symptoms - it was a stomach flu. The next time I had fever and symptoms, it was Covid.
If I get sick again and present with fever, I will test again so I can alert anyone I was around. Covid isn’t gone. It’s still here. People can still get very ill and die.
