How does a 100% reopening of restaurants, gyms, theaters, stores and amusements parks in New Jersey make you feel? Gov Murphy said yesterday that he will lift most restrictions by May 19. I should feel excited right? Part of me wants to do backflips (I want so badly to be back to normal) but the other part of me spent so much time being scared for the past year it makes me wonder why is May 19 the day COVID can't get me anymore? I have to say some of these rules seem so arbitrary. For example, the ban on bar seating will be lifted this Friday, May 7, and dance floors will be allowed for private events.
