 New York City will become the first major US city to require proof of COVID vaccination for customers and staff at restaurants, gyms and other indoor businesses. This is as the country enters a new phase of battling the highly contagious delta variant. The announcement is the latest in a string of initiatives aimed at encouraging more residents to get vaccinated as the delta variant spreads in the nation's most popular city. About 60% of all New Yorkers have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and that's according to city data but certain areas largely poor communities and communities of color have lower vaccination rates. The policy will be enforced starting from September 13th. The key to NYC Pass will be a first in the nation approach. It will require vaccination for workers and customers in indoor dining, in indoor fitness facilities, indoor entertainment facilities. This is going to be a requirement. The only way to patronize these establishments indoors will be if you're vaccinating at least one dose. The same for folks in terms of work. They'll need at least one dose. It's the easiest way to go. It keeps us safe, it's a bring us together again for us to do things together. Like I think it should be a basic requirement because human beings are very difficult to manage. So the only way to go about this is to make these people understand in a polite way that they need to get the vaccine and making it a requirement to go to some places I think is good. I think that if you want to be vaccinated, you will have that right to be vaccinated. You also have the right not to be vaccinated. It should be your personal choice. I personally am vaccinated, but I don't think I have a right to tell anyone else that they should or should not be vaccinated. I think he is a hundred percent right in that one. I mean, we all just have to be, remember like a year ago, I was scared to come outside. So vaccination is very important. Well, on the one hand, I don't like it, but I do think that the public health is more important than anything else. And whatever we have to do to have our old life back where we can go everywhere we want to go and do what we want to do, I think we should just buckle down and do it.
