I know it's the first day and people are excited to vote but the Covid-19 Safety Guidelines should still apply. Not everyone is wearing mask properly and No Social Distancing is being enforced! It's even more crowded inside the voting area. So if you are like me and don't want people in your space and want to feel safe while voting, go during the week. Less People means Safer Environment.

I visited a friend here yesterday and it went well. There is lots of parking. The security staff is thorough and kind. You have to lock up your belongings, right next to the security station, it's not a big deal. You get a name tag with your picture on it, go up on an elevator to the ward. There you ring a bell and a staff member opens the door and takes you to the lounge to wait for your friend or family member. There were others in the lounge visiting and sharing a meal. The staff person who had me sign in as a visitor was lovely. Probably like many New Yorker's who pass this building often, I was nervous about visiting. But it was really fine, quite clean and well tended, staff helpful and nice, and you can imagine my friend was very happy for the company.
