New York City, along with much of the tri-state area, eased many restrictions on 19 May, as restaurants, gyms, and salons began operating again at 100 percent capacity… so as long as they can allow six feet of space between customers.
Governor Andrew Cuomo called it an “exciting moment” for the state after a “dark, dark hellish year.”
The New York Times reported it will be up to businesses if they want to enforce mask mandates for individuals who have been vaccinated. The report said restaurants can move tables closer as long as they have a five-foot-tall partition to divide them, which has stirred debate among health professionals.

“Studies have shown that plastic barriers can actually be harmful because they block proper ventilation of that space,” Dr. Linsey Marr, a professor of environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, told the paper.
And on the social distancing and table distancing rules being imposed by politicians and their bureaucratic flunkies, as we extensively noted in this and previous issues of the Trends Journal, they lack a shred of scientific evidence to support their mandates.
