I have a one on one spa and live in Oneonta NY this is rediculous, I have been waiting so long for a date to open, I have no unemployment still can not get through, no money coming in still needing to pay rent on a business, and forget a house and family to take care of.
Does the limit on gathering numbers expire on Friday the 15th, i.e. are churches free to open if 6′ social distancing can be accommodated?
Is the county comfortable accepting the presence 60 baseball teams and their families from all over the country to attend All Star Village? An estimated 3600 per week For the rest of the summer? Just curious.
