It has been estimated that by lockdown’s end, roughly 12,000 bars and restaurants will have closed their doors for good. This possibility has led to widespread outrage at De Blasio and Cuomo over their enforced lockdown strategy, with many claiming that New York has been ‘destroyed’ by power-hungry Democratic politicians.
What New Yorkers are currently experiencing is a mirror image of other states in the U.S. including California with its stringent lockdown procedures. As a matter of fact, California has been challenged in court by multiple religious organizations over the constitutionality of prohibiting religious gatherings.
Just recently, New York lost in court against religious groups over prohibitions on large gatherings in religious settings.
Could we be seeing another big court battle in the making? This time, it will be restaurants and bars versus the state, not churches.
