I really kind of hate that you say, "the less time spent in NY, the better." New York is one of the states that's doing better in the US, did you not know that? We've flattened our curve here. And where would you suggest the women play, then? It's the USO, after all. I don't see why the women should play elsewhere. You haven't read the protocols, I take it. They have minimized some events in order to keep the distancing possible. No mixed doubles. No singles players can play doubles. Wheelchair and juniors will be at the end. (or maybe no juniors.) There will be very strict precautions taken, including distancing in locker rooms, and the players have to stick to their hotels and the tennis center.
it is in English not my fault if IQ too low to read it crazy woman new yorkly city is not safe no matter that you say.
I agree with your wise post if usta and french tennis want too be greedy, at least Nadal should get major 20 which he would already have if not for the covid-19 how lucky can federer get.
NYC is respecting much of those same protocols. Why are we such a pariah? Some people here can't keep up with the news. I'm not making light of this pandemic, but you seem to have missed my point that there are plenty of tennis professionals who will no longer have a career, if this goes on too long. If you think Australia can do it well enough with careful protocols, why not NYC?
because Austrailan open five months away woman, us open is this month its much closer, Also NYC have lot people who don,t follow the rules it does not matter how safe protocols are covid-19 can go though anything it does not care. only takes one person to wreak everything, you are making light of the Covid-19, lifes are more important at the end of the day. also speak in English so we understand LOL
I don't understand your facile notion of the science. That the virus might mutate within a week of the tournament. I don't think it works that simply. This is not a sci-fi film. The virus, as I understand it, came in in a very virulent strain. It killed it's hosts immediately. That's not an effective virus, because it can't survive that way, if it kills off its hosts too quickly. So the next wave was a version that didn't kill as quickly, or effectively, so that it could proliferate, and that's the one we've been fighting. Less deadly, but still highly contagious. And that's the problem...if it doesn't kill all of its hosts, it has the chance to spread. Cunning little bastards.
Vince Event is right just because its safe right now, does not mean it will be safe by the time us open starts, or mid way though the event don,t need be so salty woman we just want the players to be safe and NCY not 100% safe NO matter that you say NO city is. thats why Nadal might not play and other players have already said they are not going to play. big city's like NYC or Melbourne have A lot of people who don,t care about the rules only themselves which is why country towns are doing really well here in Austraila.
Here's where you're wrong, on two fronts: it doesn't matter that the AO is 5 months away, because there will still be no vaccine. And you are wrong about people not following the rules in NYC. I live here. We were ground zero in the US, and we have taken it very seriously. We DO follow the rules, and we have flattened our curve. You're mistaking us with places like Florida and Georgia and even Los Angeles and Texas where people don't go in for mask-wearing or respecting physical distancing. Those are the places that are suffering right now. We're in a good place in New York. And we aren't getting complacent about it, either. People here are mostly used to doing the right thing, and we keep it going. Mostly everyone here wears a mask. You can't go into a shop or get into a cab without one. We practice physical distancing, and in a city this dense, it really is a dance. And when we don't have to be somewhere, we are still staying at home. There is still a lot of lockdown going on here. Please stop acting like NYC is the epicenter of the virus in the US. Far from it. In my business, film industry, everyone wants to shoot here right now because all of the other US film centers are hot spots. And my industry is leading-edge of respecting work protocols. I do believe tennis can do it, too, if they do it right.
I also understand that there are lingering health effects of this virus, which is something that is being too much ignored. I am not in the least saying not to take it seriously, but I'm also saying that we can't just stay at home for the next 18 more months. I am back to work, but with a great deal of caution. I am in a kind of a bubble with a certain number of crew, but we know that's not perfect, and we don't let our guard down. Three weeks now, and no one is sick, but we're demanding everyone take a test. I have my first COVID test in the next few days...wish me luck!
LIKE I SAID in my other post just because its safe now does not mean its always going to be in NYC also I hope your right about Us open I want to see A 2020 us open where everyone is safe, so its not like I dont want to happen I would be with you if its 100% safe. second dont talk to me like I know why that states are better in US I dont live there so clearly would be right about that stuff. finally do you know every single person in NYC? NO so you can not say its 100% safe which is all I care about I like NYC and would like go where one day by the way. and your wrong about the Covid-19 bill gates is close to a vaccine its clear to everyone lol.
I'm not being salty. But there is no 100% safe. Not even outside of pandemic. Life is fraught with peril. If you feel like big cities are scary places, that's on you. But don't tell me that people here don't care about the rules. I live here and you don't. I've told you how seriously it is being taken here. You will believe what you want to, but don't tell me what it's like where I live, as if you know, thank you. I recognize that everyone has their own threshold of fear and anxiety in this pandemic. I respect that. Some of us feel that, with caution and good protocols, we can go out and work, and be safe, within the margin of error. Others feel it's not time. Everyone should have the right to choose, and without prejudice or judgement, but everyone just staying home forever until there's a vaccine is also not a very practical option. And believe me, when I'm not doing what I absolutely must do, we're still isolated here at home. We're in this for the long haul, but we do venture out.
