Only small percent of people allowed in at one time, testing 3x/week for the privilege to wear a mask all day. And that was for the vaccinated. They said HR and legal had no clue how to bring people back. I think NYC is 18-24 months from getting business and international travel back, if ever.
Zoom is not a substitute for an in person meeting. The companies that only show up on a zoom call will be far behind the company that has their rep sitting in front of their customer, client etc.
It may sound like wishful thinking and of course maybe “it will be different this time” but history provded otherwise when these predictions were previously made.

Has it improved since prison "lockdown 1.0" yes. Is it NYC of 2018/2019/2015? NFW.
Lockdown 2.0 is coming. The C man and the good mayor will see to it.
NYC is F'd for the foreseeable future.
We had to open T2. More RJs flying.
