VIRTUAL TIMES SQUARE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

On Newsy.com it reported that due to social distancing/COVID for there first time in 113 years there will not be the standard celebration in Times Square in New York.

Instead, the area will be blocked off and closed to the public and there will be a live ball drop and celebrity performances and there is an official virtual Times Square so you can visit virtually.

The article indicates:

"Justis Kao, chief communications officer at Loop: "You'll see other people running around. You can wave to them. There's a lot of sponsors involved, so there's a lot of digital billboards, built-in teleportation into the different lounges. … We were fortunate enough to be able to partner with a great company, Ultimate Gamer and Jamestown Productions — which puts on, traditionally, the ball drop — and be part of the first virtual experience."

  1. and yet the Governor Gavin dances in Times Square after he forbade garhering for the ball drop. Those making the Law are not subject to it. That's thev way it's been all year concerning this virus
