The new normal for partying in Palm Springs?

 It will be most interesting to see how the long road back to normal will be. I hope things work out for these folks.

From The Desert Sun:


On Sunday, nearly 300 people plan to gather at Oscar’s Café and Bar in downtown Palm Springs for a “fully-vaccinated” afternoon of dancing and drinking, according to owner Dan Gore. The event — which will require prior proof of COVID-19 vaccination, identification and a signed HIPPA waiver to attend — illustrates one potential “new normal” standard for safe partying.

“We photocopied everything,” Gore said. “In the event that someone needs to see proof, we will be able to access it on the fly.”

Participants will be required to wear masks at all times except when seated at a table, according to Gore, who noted that there was no indoor seating at Oscar’s. Gore said he employed an attorney to help ensure that everything about the event was in full compliance with current Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local regulations regarding COVID safety.
