Not sure if this has been stated yet or is obvious but it was news to me, I have an acquaintance that owns a bar down town, he was telling me earliest they’ll possibly open is last weekend in August, realistically sometime in September. Bars, Stadiums, Clubs and theaters are the last businesses to open. A whole summer without bars festivals and concerts Edit - it was surprising to me because I was thinking by June bars and such would be open again ---

> [@Onyx\_Z32](#): > > Ouch. But I’m not sure what that’s based on. I think it’s too hard to speculate at the moment. It’s really not that hard to speculate it won’t be until August. It’s a 4 phase re-open, and Erie County is HOPING to start phase 1 June 1st. Bars/restaurants are phase 3, sports/festivals/events phase 4. After each phase you have weeks of waiting and reviewing to see how badly the cases spike and contact tracing to see what caused the spike. It’s going to be a long time before we hit phase 3. > **[Here’s Cuomo’s Plan for Reopening New York (Published 2020)](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/04/nyregion/coronavirus-reopen-cuomo-ny.html)** > > Gov.

I don’t get what that last number represents for 30 contact tracers per 100k residents. 414? NYC has 2520? ---

I think Poloncarz said we need 270? So we have a population of 900,000? I’m not completely clear on that metric either. ---

I had to google contact tracing LoL I thought it was like putting stickers on the floor where people can and can’t walk. It’s definitely nothing new, people who contract permanent STDs have to contact trace. How do I know this you ask? Because I fucking paid attention in health class ---
