EightStrings&Whistle

@BrianLehrer @epi_dude @ColumbiaMSPH I am curious about restrictions for the elderly. While masks and distancing are off at schools, I need to show a negative covid test and stay masked when visiting my mother in a Nursing Home. I am very restricted on where I can visit with her -- how long will that continue?

We're taking calls from restaurant / nightlife workers, public school parents and teachers: How was your week in terms of the city's changing COVID safety guidelines? Call-in: 212-433-9692 We're talking to @epi_dude & @ColumbiaMSPH's Wafaa El-Sadr on NYC's new COVID phase.

@BrianLehrer @clewisreports If a restaurant can't follow the rules for checking vax status, how do I know they follow other, more complex , rules -- like keeping food at the right temp or cleaning their kitchen. Went out yesterday. Hostess asked to see proof showed photos of cards. Took 5 seconds

If you work in nightlife, dining or entertainment, how are you feeling about the new vaccine mandates announced this week? Do feel more protected or do you worry business will suffer? Call in: 646 435 7280 Now: @clewisreports explains more about the new "Key to NYC" program.

@BrianLehrer @Slerner212 @ChhayaCDC @WNYC I have been in Maine during elections with Rank Choice voting and it totally works. People are more engaged and you know that the person elected has support. If they can do it Maine we can do it here in NYC

After the news: In a Feb. 2 special election, voters in the 24th district in Queens will become the first in NYC to vote by ranked-choice. So what should we know about filling out our ballots, and what does it mean for our elections? @Slerner212 & @ChhayaCDC explain, on @WNYC

@BrianLehrer @NYCMayor @WNYC Is it allowed to have small concerts at 25% capacity in art galleries and churches? If not, WHY?

NOW: #AsktheMayor with @NYCMayor. Call in with your q's 646 435 7280 and tune in @WNYC, 93.9 FM and wnyc.org.

@RebeIbarraC @BrianLehrer I am wondering when art galleries and other small venues will be open for small classical and jazz concerts. If restaurants and stores can be open with 25% capacity why not a classical concert, with distances seating and masks? Certainly, safer then eating where masks are off.

Here's you occasional reminder that, say what you will about Mayor de Blasio, he comes on @BrianLehrer to answer questions and criticism almost every week. The same cannot be said of officials like...just off the top of my head... Governor Cuomo.

#askthemayor There is a marked increase in homeless on the streets of midtown. They are in store doorways and on the sidewalk. I called 311. They couldn't do anything as the homeless are "on private property". This is an increasingly unsafe situation. What will the mayor do?
