If they aren’t willing to lockdown protests then I can’t quite see the point of locking down otherwise.

NYC is my canary in the coal mine. As long as NYC does not see a resurgence I will believe that the level of herd immunity in NYC is enough, combined with common sense hygiene practices, to keep Rt below 1.

Winter will be interesting both in terms of the NYC economy and covid. Once it's too cold for outdoor dining more businesses will likely close (there's just no way to avoid this, as someone with family in the restaurant industry I find it dumb that more people don't acknowledge how slim the margins of most restaurants are).

It'll be interesting to see how the remaining population in the city fares. If I wasn't waiting to see if I had an office in March or had a lease that I couldn't break there's no way I'd be staying here.
