My wife and I went to the movies the other day. You had to wear a mask and there were only about 8 of us in the theatre and far apart. It was good to go to a movie again. Movie was an action film and pretty good. The Dolby sound makes for even more enjoyment. I'm not afraid of the virus I'm more afraid of losing my freedom.

END LOCKDOWNS NOW

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-kno...-screens-in-us
Debacle continues and yes the lockdowns do need to be ended. We're not getting rid of Covid 19 anytime soon so why continue locking down and compounding the problem with economic misery as well.
Oh yeah - there's an election coming up. Guess this continues for at least another month - the blue state governors will make sure of it.

That poster is so excited about learning a new word, she's posted the same thing several times. Really compelling and intelligent post as a rebuttal.

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose your job.

You are not losing any freedom if theaters close, it's just business.

Wait until April, when banks are allowed to start foreclosing on homes where the owners are behind on mortgage payments. We haven’t seen the worst of the economic turmoil yet.

How are you "Losing your freedom"? You went to the movie didn't you? They were open for business but only 8 people showed up. Do you expect them to remain open without customers CHOOSING to attend? Nobody restricted attendance. No "freedoms" were lost.

How many businesses would stay open with such a huge drop in revenue?

I actually went to tennessee and saw a movie. The theater was packed. The notion of people scared to go is a fallacy projected by fake news.

Obviously many are choosing not to go to movie theaters aside from state restrictions, just claiming we need to reopen isn't solving anything.
