New York Auto Show Canceled Amid Delta Spike

Didn't see this posted here.

"For the second straight year, organizers are pumping the brakes on the New York International Auto Show.

In an emailed statement Wednesday afternoon, auto show president Michael Schienberg announced that the convention -- set to begin on Aug. 20 -- was canceled, citing spiking COVID-19 caseloads from the hyper-contagious delta variant and state and local safety measures for the cancellation."

I cannot believe, with the swirling uptick in Delta variant, that the NYC powers that be are still going ahead with the Central Park Concert (anticipated audience of 60,000!)
