New York City will become the first U.S. city to require proof of vaccination for a variety of activities for workers and customers — indoor dining, gyms and performances — to put pressure on people to get vaccinated, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday morning.
The program, similar to mandates issued in France and Italy last month, will start later this month, and after a transition period, enforcement will begin in mid-September, when schools are expected to reopen and more workers could return to offices in Manhattan.
“It’s time for people to see vaccination as literally necessary to living a good and full and healthy life,” Mr. de Blasio said at a news conference.
“Not everyone is going to agree with this, I understand that,” he said. “But for so many people, this is going to be a lifesaving act, that we are putting a mandate in place that is going to guarantee a much higher level of vaccination in this city. And that is the key to protecting people, and the key to our recovery.”
On the short-term view yeah.
Small biz will get choked, big biz will weather it (by design).
Next step will be to roll out in any blue city that locked shit down last year, then expand to every good/service possible.
I'm not under the impression that they are going to stop with this. This is the begining I've easing in to locking down the unvaxxed completely. I lived there for years. It would be awful to live there but basicly have to stay in your apt. It will go there. Groceries delivery only.
Obviously many people willm eave, but tons of people can't leave. It will be hell for them
I lve in the mountains with a nice garden . I hardly leave anyway, but New York would be awful if you couldn't actually do all the things that make it worth while to be there, and just stayed at your apt.

Oh well these business will close.
