Staggered multiple minyanim. I saw somewhere that wedding halls in Bnei Brak stated that they will have an easy time dealing with this, as most people just like to come in, say mazel tov, maybe dance for a minute or two and then leave, so it's easy to maintain no more than 100 people in there at a time.
If you have 500 people coming in at different times what does that accomplish? This isn't something that should be gamed.

A sick person will come in contact with less people.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Then why allow 499 at the other event ?
The only thing I can think of is that less density is better. If the venue has capacity for only 500 they want it to be less crowded

Eg. If an event is held in a place with a maximum stated capacity of 400 people, only 200 people are allowed to come.
I understood what it meant, I just didn't understand why a larger event should be able to have 500

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Except when they congregate for something.

Correct, no one believes it will stop all spread, but a sick person among 100,000 people can pass it on to many more people than a sick person among a few hundred.

You missed the point. Splitting 500 into 2 x 250 doesn't accomplish much and is gaming the system. Just cancel the event knowing you will be helping the situation.

Just heard that Cuomo said they are considering banning all elective surgeries and converting public buildings into temporary hospitals. Good thinking IMHO.

I don't like Cuomo, but whenever he ran I haven't seen a better alternative put up against him. I don't think he's as bad as his father was.

Temp hospitals should be done on a national level. It is mindboggling the silence we have at the national level.

We have multiple levels of government. States can and should do what they can. The Feds should backstop.

This is a national crisis and direction needs to come from the top. Yes states should do what they can but we need one plan!!!

That one plan seems to be now a travel ban from Schengen area countries. (Countries with totally open borders between them).

Cities & states need to get their act together in times of crisis & not sit around waiting for the federal government. We see this by natural disasters. The states that sit around waiting for the feds are screwed. (I’m from NY, where they’re always boasting how they ignore the federal governments rules)

The effectiveness of banning outside travelers is blunted once it is already in the US and not being effectively controlled internally.

True but it helps. He gets credit for at least doing something even it is very minor.
