28. Most of the state is open, actually.

We're still in phase 2 (6-foot spacing outdoor restaurants) in NYC, but Long Island and the Hudson valley regions are in phase 3 (50% capacity/6-foot spacing indoor restaurants) while the rest of the state is phase 4*.

We're scheduled to move to phase 3 on July 6th; I expect that will last about a month before we have to start dialing it back. It just isn't possible to open to that degree without a vaccine.

Ohio. Hmm . . . do you think reopening was a bit rushed? [View all] Ms. Toad Jun 2020 OP

Just a bit. LisaL Jun 2020 #1

None of those places are open here in NY (except outdoor seating at some restaurants) Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #2

Outdoor seating at restaurants was permitted May 15. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #5

You can require masks and make exceptions for children with autism, or whoever gets a doctor's note. LisaL Jun 2020 #6

Correct. That's why I phrased it the way I did. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #8

I agree, the exception for one child does not constitute a mandate. Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #10

People with autism grow up - and some are not diagnosed until late in life. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #16

Good grief! I really don't understand these mask rebels. Do they really believe they're immune?? Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #9

I don't understand them either. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #11

You're very right, wearing shirts and shoes doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #15

I try to avoid saying that mask wearing is a political issue - it isn't. It's a public health issue Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #17

I sure agree, it's hardly political and has been said many times, it isn't political anywhere else Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #20

Cute pup! Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #23

Well, I had to bring the dog in and then get him when they were done Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #24

Well, the sinus headaches come and go Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #26

They all three work on the same basic principle Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #27

Thanks! Wishing you a return to optimum health, too - especially now! Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #33

You bring up some very good points, thanks for educating me! Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #36

I live in Ohio. It is going to be shutdown again I think. Sonce i am unemployed Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #3

DeWine was actually good (much to my surprise) Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #4

Like I said before, bottom line is, he is still a Republican. LisaL Jun 2020 #7

I was SHOCKED by his proactive response early... Buckeye_Democrat Jun 2020 #30

Maybe just a tad bit. A smidge, LuckyCharms Jun 2020 #12

Yeah. Waiting another day or two would have been great. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #13

If I were king... LuckyCharms Jun 2020 #14

Watching Pence suggest masks today was surreal. Tipperary Jun 2020 #18

I missed that. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #19

I was in and out of the house, but I think he was in Texas. Tipperary Jun 2020 #21

I found a few commentaries on it. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #22

As a fellow Ohioan... yes! Buckeye_Democrat Jun 2020 #29

My beef with DeWine is that he basically punted. Bantamfancier Jun 2020 #31

Not too soon. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #32
