State Fair to be 100% capacity. Good for football?

Looks like no restrictions for football this year?

Gov. Cuomo: NYS Fair will have 100% capacity this summer

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Governor Andrew Cuomo is schedule to give a COVID briefing and make an announcement at the NYS Fairgrounds at 11:30 a.m. Monday. After announcing that the state has…

It's a step in the right direction.

As of May 19th, indoor arenas and stadiums were still limited to 30%.

I'm sure NYS will issue new guidelines shortly.

If only we had a retractable roof.

I meant how can the percentage of people vaccinated decline.

How can they go backwards?

People refusing to get vaccinated? New transmission vectors from large crowds at football games? A new variant from Florida?

I need a graph to be able to visualize the data.

 

[upperdeck]

backwards can just be, # people getting sick goes up or a variant breaks thru.

People moving out of state and deaths vs people moving in and births?

CDC: NY hits 70% of adults with at least 1 Covid vaccine dose

Reaching 70% means the end of most remaining pandemic rules in New York.

www.syracuse.com

Cuomo has scheduled a press conference at 12:15 p.m. today in New York City where he’s expected to make the news official and announce the end of the rules.

Social distancing requirements, capacity limits, cleaning and disinfection mandates, health screening rules and requirements to collect contact information for tracing infections will all be gone. The changes will apply to retail businesses, food services, offices, gyms, fitness centers, amusement parks, family entertainment centers, hair salons, barber shops and personal care service providers, among other commercial settings.

Covid rules will remain in a few places until more people are vaccinated. They include large event venues that seat over 5,000 people, public transportation, health care facilities, schools, homeless shelters and correctional facilities.

People moving out of state and deaths vs people moving in and births?

Sure, but that likely wouldn't move the percentage of vaccinated adults appreciably, or enough to move the number below 70% once the state initially reaches that point.

Perhaps, it may be due to the general concern for the 'Delta' variant?

Here's What You Need to Know About the Delta Variant

The more infectious strain threatens to worsen the pandemic around the world

Health officials are sounding the alarm that Delta threatens to reverse the progress made in countries, like the U.S. and U.K., that have lately been beating the pandemic into retreat and worsen conditions in countries, like India, that are still deep in crisis.

The vaccines works against the Delta variant. Pretty important detail.

I agree with all of that. That wasn't what I meant by going "backwards."

Nearly all Covid rules end as NY hits vaccine milestone

Covid rules will remain in a handful of places until more people are vaccinated.

www.syracuse.com

The changes apply to retail businesses, food services, offices, gyms, fitness centers, amusement parks, family entertainment centers, hair salons, barber shops and personal care service providers, among other commercial settings.

Distancing requirements are also gone for indoor event venues that seat fewer than 5,000 people.

Covid rules will remain in a few places until more people are vaccinated. They include large event venues that seat over 5,000 people, public transportation, health care facilities, schools, homeless shelters and correctional facilities.

But the Barclays is close to full no? What are the requirements that will be in place for the Dome going forward?

I mean... it would be kinda funny if they were stuck there and just didn't loosen restrictions, right? Kinda?

Well, I would have laughed anyway, but it wasn't meant to be.

I believe the governor is on record that the Mets and Yankees can go to 100% capacity if they limit attendance to fans who have been vaccinated. I know right now the Mets are allowed to fill the sections reserved for vaccinated fans to 100% while the sections reserved for unvaccinated fans are limited to 33% capacity.

Those are of course outdoor venues. Not sure at this point he would offer the same deal to Syracuse.

It will be interesting to follow what the Mets and Yankees do with attendance and vaccination as the summer ensues. And how much the rules change for a large venue with a roof (and a top of the line filtering system).

The Knicks were limiting ticket sales to vaccinated fans only. Not sure what the Nets are doing.

The rules will keep changing as more and more people get vaxed.

What's in place today hopefully will be obsolete by September.

For sure would have to be a bunch of variables at once. Was just thinking out loud as the initial question made me pause and ponder the possibility
