When...
The economic pressure on the city’s finances is stark: the Independent Budget Office suggested that the loss in tax revenue may be even worse than the city was predicting.
Because the city’s economy is densely interwoven, reviving it is likely to be a halting process.
Swiftly shutting down the city’s more than 25,000 restaurants and bars was one thing. But getting customers back may not be a matter of simply allowing them to reopen, even with servers in masks and gloves and diners ordering from an app on their phones.
“When are companies going to start hosting events at restaurants and bars again?” “When are the tourists going to start coming back?”
That is a question that has been haunting Broadway and the rest of the city’s entertainment sector as well.

The Beef...
At this time I have more questions than answers about the current Covid-19 Vaccines.
First: The Food and Drug administration authorized the use of these vaccines under Emergency Use Only. In other words, it is not approved just for the use of every one. The benefits should outweigh the risk. And there is risk here associated with the current practice.
Second: The duration of protection from these vaccines are not identified yet. Pfizer said it protects for more than 6 months.
Third: We don't even have enough information about the elderly who have been vaccinated. How effective the vaccines are, how many vaccinated, who contracted the disease, how many died, what problems are happening from the vaccines, and when would it be the after Six Month start of revaccination for the elderly?
Fourth: I see the marching drums from the politicians on a daily basis standing in front of the Camera and saying ...... I would like one of these Media outlet to end the conference with one reporter asking "Where Is The Beef"
We vaccinated millions, the best in the world... Hurd Immunity, New variants, then Curve and Percent which appears to be a moving target. So far no tangible results to be measured?
Just a thought
S. Africa...
Pfizer's and BioNTech's vaccine has been a phenomenal success story, from the breathtakingly fast development to the jaw-dropping efficacy. And now there's even more good news. Here's why Pfizer's and BioNTech's COVID vaccine could be even better than expected.
A new trial took place in South Africa, where the variant, known as B.1.351, first emerged. Some scientists worry that it might be able to escape existing vaccines.
In the Pfizer-BioNTech trial, six cases of the variant were observed, none of them in people who had been given the vaccine.
There have been 312 identified cases of the strain in the U.S., according to the latest figures from the CDC.
Success of the Pfizer Vaccines against South Africa variant appears to be 100 %.
Keep our fingers crossed. Just a thought.

Covid 20...
The Empire Station Complex plan sets out to eventually overhaul the transit hub with revenue generated by a massive real estate deal in the surrounding blocks.
A key hurdle for the project, at least in the short-term, rests in the state budget negotiations as Cuomo tries to ram a $1.3 billion bond deal past some reluctant lawmakers.
The Empire Station proposal would be “generation-changing” not just for Midtown, but for all of Manhattan, said State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan), who opposes the project and is working to remove it from this year’s state budget.
“Why do we want Andrew Cuomo to be Robert Moses suddenly?” she told The City.
Even as he contends with twin investigations over sexual harassment allegations and using his office to cover up nursing home deaths, Cuomo and the state’s Empire State Development Corporation are doggedly pursuing the potentially legacy-making plan.
The Governor is building up for the next Disaster in New York City, Pile up the people and hide the death of humanity for the mighty dollar. Just a thought.
