Pesach Programs

Or they don’t really have a choice but to try and continue until the last possible moment. To back out now would bankrupt a lot of these program operators.

Then help out the operators but these all need to be canceled.

Or they know they're highly unlikely to operate but hope (know?) that they're better off financially if customers cancel on them than the opposite.

I'm not criticizing their decisions as anyone in that business is in a really tough spot right now and I can't imagine the hit they'll be taking because of this.

They should be planning on contingency. Many of them are able to be offering a catering service to their customers possibly with arranging to have their homes set up for Pesach.

That's what insurance is for, but I wonder how many operators carry insurance policies that would cover this. I think it's crazy if they don't as there are multiple disruptive reasons than can bring about massive cancellations.

This is one of the reasons they are not canceling proactively. They are waiting for a legal reason to be covered by the insurance (like the max amount in Israel of 100 ppl and NYS 500 etc.)

So why are 500+ programs not canceled yet? Cuomo offered to shut anyone with over 500 people down if they want.
Edit: I guess they have to wait till later today for the rule to go in effect.

1) How many pesach programs are there in NY? Especially over 500 people. 2) Cuomo just announced this less than 24 hours ago.

Maybe you can rephrase your question to "how can they run a program illegally?"
Yes, they will officially cancel probably the beginning of next week regardless of insurance, but the insurance is a good incentive to wait for these legal measures.

It's getting worse. Most shuls in NY are closed this Shabbos already. Many schools across the country.

Anyone who believes there will be a Pesach program in US or Europe is being delusional.

Ironically Thailand may be one of the only programs still going.

Many.

not so many. The ones that have confirmed that they are still planning on opening are Honors Haven and Hudson Valley. I don't think the Raleigh or Oppenheimers confirmed if they're opening or not. How many more programs in NYS do you know of?
NJ has a bunch and they still think they're opening....

Many Boston shuls are closing though I find it odd that we've closed shuls before we closed in-store shopping which would seem to be much worse and a lower priority.
Boston schools sent out an email saying they'd follow what the public school system does which hasn't closed yet...

NJ with only 29 cases, they don't see it yet the same way as NY. Although it just a matter of days until the numbers goes up there too. Again, they need a legal reason to be forced to cancel it.
The same way as Broadway shows needed Cuomo to claim their insurance.

Almost no tests in NJ.
