| I appreciate your optimism but as Wednesday Addams said in Addams Family Values: "Wait." | |

| The word I have been preaching for a year now is "patience." We are waiting, but we are also seeing the results of a responsible approach to covid, something that we could not say 61 days ago. What you said was not entirely factual. It is not a fact that there will be no Broadway with masks. It is not a fact that investors will not invest until there are no masks. It is not a fact that audiences are not prepared to return (especially factoring in the robust vaccination numbers). | |

| Are the Trump supporters in Staten Island and South Brooklyn being vaccinated? Don't they go to see Broadway shows too? Will they wear masks? I'm not sure they can be required to. Is it legal to ask proof of vaccination? I hope they do get vaccinated. Last night on PBS Newshour they showed footage of Trump saying a "beautiful child" got vaccinated and then became autistic. It was a long episode with Yamiche about Republican refusal to vaccinate. You can find it online. | |

| There is no data correlating Trump support and vaccination in those areas (but it would make sense it is lower), but what we do know is that Richmond County, for instance, is about 1/4 vaccinated (first shot at least) and yes we also know that people from these zip codes buy far fewer tickets than those from the deep blue precincts. (Even more so, I am sure, for the sort of shows we can expect in the early months.) They are required to wear masks everywhere else they go in Manhattan so why would this be different? There is very little noncompliance that I can see. Why would it not be legal to ask for proof? That's what baseball is doing (for now with the alternative of rapid testing for entry), and we ask for proof for other non-covid purposes. Will their be persistent anti-vaxxers? Sure, but it will increasingly become a pain in the ass (airlines are almost definitely going to require it for instance), and once everyone else is enjoying herd immunity, no one will care. |
