With vaccines and warmer weather this Spring (but more likely Summer), I hope that cases are low enough that we can start resuming life.
It'll come piecemeal. Safer outdoor events first.
To do that, we MUST help businesses and arts organizations feel "protected" as well!

So...
I think we should have laws that indemnify concert presenters of liability against lawsuits (perfection will not be attainable, ever) as long as certain rules and regulations are adhered to.
If we don't, businesses and arts organizations won't survive.
We need them to!

1. Masks required at all times.
Even though outdoor masking is a bit silly at times, in close contact/high density, it's a good move and sends the right message.

2. Adequate social distancing enforced.
Think: tons of space between blankets in concerts in New York's Central Park.
Think: really good "traffic patterns" for getting people in and out of locales. Safe entrance/egress designs. Wide lanes. Controlled ushering and movement.

3. Portable restroom facilities must be limited and very, very easy to clean frequently.
They must have good air movement. (cc @j_g_allen on how to do this).
Hygiene in these areas must be vastly improved, as this is a weak link in the chain of safety.
But doable, right Joe?

4. Best case scenario: There might even be on-sight antigen testing!!!!
This identifies if anyone has a contagious coronavirus infection.
@michaelmina_lab and his ideas could save the @nyphil and others!

Life will begin to return to normal in 2021, if all goes well.
We need to proceed carefully and supportively.
Arts organizations are HURTING.
We need to be the best patrons EVER next year. And we need to protect them.
Let's act now to help them. We need them! We miss them!
