| North Dakota may be stupid but they really cannot hold a candle to South Dakota host of the Sturgis motorcycle rally and a state which unlike its northern sibling still does not have a mask mandate. Broadway's reopening I think depends on the effectiveness of the vaccine and of the vaccine's rollout. We have been promised that everyone in the country who wants a vaccine will be able to get a vaccine by May but of course we have been promised many things by government before ("anyone who wants a test can get a test" and to be non-partisan "if you like your doctor you will be able to keep your doctor") so we have to see How both things go. If 70% or more of the country is vaccinated by June and the vaccine according to the numbers appears to be working, it is very probable that a reopening of Broadway can begin to roll out and at a capacity of more than 40% (which would not be practical for most shows) Getting people to the theater in supportable numbers would probably be the real challenge especially until such time as tourism begins to pick up in New York City which given the state of a post pandemic recovery will take more than a bit of time, I think. | |

| I always get the Dakotas mixed up so mea culpa. (Not that ND has anything to be bragging about atm.) I agree that everything is vaccine dependent and we are only guessing right now. I also agree that shows can't reopen until the audiences for those shows (which are not the same of course) are ready willing and able to buy tickets and again, we are only guessing right now. As I have said, the economy may be a bigger challenge than the virus. | |

| I always mix up the Dakota and the San Remo. :) Not that it negates any of your points, but FWIW, I saw my doctor this afternoon and he's expecting vaccines to be in general distribution (beyond the initial targeted groups) by spring. He's not one to parrot the party line if he disagrees, and he's an infectious diseases guy. I'll still believe it when it happens, but I put more stock in his opinion than that of a politician or pundit. Still doesn't put me back to work, but it makes me a little more hopeful for fall or maybe summer. Though Unemployment is still going to run out before my lack of employment, so... |

| "I always mix up the Dakota and the San Remo. :) " The San Remo was originally supposed to be called the Dakota, and the two towers would have been North Dakota and South Dakota. When that fell through, they were going to call the San Remo the North Dakota and the Dakota the South Dakota. That fell through too. I think your doc is probably right. Still, it'll take a while for that general distribution to happen, and remember there are a lot of people who, while not being anti-vaxxers, plan to wait until they can let the side effects play out in the general population. I hope you get back sooner rather than later. I've been sayin' the Fall since the Spring. |
