Yeah, those are the ones. They’re supposed to wear their masks through the entire show and then they rip them off the second the lights go down, and then they get in fights with ushers who tell them to put them back on. They also crowd onto the subways in big maskless mobs, even though you still have to mask on public transportation here. I could go on….

No, all the names were not even this month. Craig, SJP and Broderick were early April. Jackman was months ago.

No one said it was this month but actors are still catching it right and left.

No they didn’t “all caught it since then”.

You're right, I never said anyone did though. Simply responding to the question. They caught it while things were rather strict. FTR lots of people are catching or have caught covid.
Were you checking IDs?

Does New York still have mask mandates?
I didn’t realize there was anyplace left that still had them.

You know what's funny?
They still mask toddlers I believe.
Looks like they left them in place through at least 5/31 although vaccine mandates were lifted yesterday. Somehow though, those filthy tourists have still found a way to infect some performers.

Looks like we need to do more research for our summer plans, NY isn‘t on our list but Washington DC is, we (apparently foolishly) thought masks were gone everywhere and we wouldn’t have to worry about them. After months of not wearing masks we won’t be visiting anyplace that requires them, unless necessary for work or family reasons.
I thought NV and CA were some of the last to drop them and we dropped them way back in Feb.

Leave for Hawaii in a few days and they even dropped them.

New York still has mask mandates on public transportation as well as when seeing live events on stage such as Broadway shows and concerts.

Since you feel that way, please make sure never to visit here.

We didn't drop until March locally. Spring break was our first time in public without them since summer 2021. DC does not currently have any mandates outside of transportation (unless at a couple universities)

Thanks for the clarification, are the Broadway rules self imposed by the theaters and their cast members?
Other than that it sounds like the rules in NY are similar to the rest of the country. Personally I wouldn’t go to a show until they’re gone but if a company wants to enact extra rules for their business I have no problem with that.

Yes, it is by their choice. May also be at least partially driven by the unions.

Just got back from a 7 day trip to Universal and Disney and had a great time. Me and my wife have been very cautious through the whole pandemic and regularly wore mask in public places until fairly recently. I fully expected that I would not feel comfortable at Disney and would continue to mask, but we didn't put one on for the entire trip except when we had to go to the First Aid in Magic Kingdom since they still required there, although I would assume they could provide one if you didn't have one with you.
At Universal I did not notice any lingering impacts from the pandemic, not just the lack of mitigations, but all their offerings seemed to be back to pre-pandemic state and staffing felt adequate.
Disney on the other hand still has lingering impacts, plexi-glass in a lot of queues, things still not open or back to pre-pandemic state, and there were definitely places that seemed to be under staffed. Despite all that we had a great time and none of that really impacted our enjoyment.
Masking was almost non-existent at both resorts, although I think I noticed more masks on CM's then on guests.
