Remarkable Quotes from Alan Katz
[07:32] Size does matter. How many people can we have there? Well, the rules about guest size are going to be changing. We have to adjust with that.
[10:25] It’s really important that all the vendors have here to a strict code of ethics as far as their exposure to the virus. It saves you a lawsuit, it saves them from getting sick.
[13:45] We lead by example and we need to make sure we provide a safe environment for everybody. When it made me uncomfortable, I know that other people uncomfortable.
[21:23] We’ve got to get the government to at least agree to our ideas because people in the government won’t do anything. And if they do something, it’s because they don’t know what they’re doing and they’re just making arbitrary rules.
