Georgia with an interesting experiment

@Axtremus said in Georgia with an interesting experiment:
I am more comfortable with reopening movie theaters. With assigned seating and leaving, say, 80% of the seats unoccupied, the theater would some way of enforcing social distancing. Unlike gym and restaurants, movie goers can wear masks at all times. Concession sales will take a big hit, but the public health aspect is manageable.
How about the making money aspect with 80% of the seats empty and no concessions?
I don't think you would want to have to manage that budget.

Jack up the ticket prices.
Most of the time when there are movies playing, most seats in theaters are empty anyway. Even before the pandemic, it's not unusual that I would go into a movie theater and find that over 80% of the seats are unoccupied throughout the movie.

Trump was for it before he was against it.
Seems believable. How do you go from ‘LIBERATE MICHIGAN’ to ‘I disagree strongly’ with Georgia in a single day?

Extraordinary flip-flopping of epic proportions!

I find the lack of coordination in your country extraordinary. Your death toll is heading for 60k and the government will simply say "I wouldn't do that if I were you" but allow a governor to drop the donkey in a minefield.

It's because they invented freedom and now they have no idea what to do with it.
In completely unrelated news, I've recently tattooed 'Help Me' on my eyelids.

Well he has practice. “This is not a pandemic” to “I always knew it was a pandemic”.

Part of it is constitutional. But not all. The federal government can coordinate supply for example, but Trump publicly waffles on how much he wants to be responsible for that.
Personally I’m very happy that my governor is making the calls for NY rather than Trump.

We talked about gyms.
How about nail salons? Doesn’t it seem just a matter of time until the nail lady gets it from a customer? They spend, what, 15+ minutes face to face in pretty close quarters with each successive customer? Even with masks on that’s a lot of time. Then when the employee gets it they spend some number of infectious asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic days that close to numerous customers.
Strikes me as up there with gyms on the list of places that I wouldn’t open on the first wave.

From our local (400 feet away from my place) grocer:
"Dear Shoppers,
It is our duty to report that an employee tested positive for COVID-19 today, April 23rd. We have consulted with the health department and our particular situation has been deemed a 'low risk' exposure, and have been cleared to stay open. We have since conducted a deep sanitation to the best of our ability and have scheduled a professional COVID santitation cleaning for tomorrow afternoon. As we did not want to leave anyone in the community without any needed goods, we will remain open for limited hours tomorrow, April 24th, from 8AM-1PM. During this time, we will be offering curbside pickup so that customers do not need to enter into the store if they so choose.
We will reopen on Saturday, April 25th at 7:30AM. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."

I remember the halcyon days of late March and early April when the grocery stores would bother to tell us those things.

Nail salons? More like coffin nail salons, if people go there these days, if you know what I mean.
I mean people will die if they go to nail salons.

Considering how prevalent the virus has proven to be, it is clearly absurd to worry much about that sort of thing now.

This Long Term Care facility is adjacent to my old neighborhood that I moved out of last summer. My cousin's father-in-law lives there.

Too funny, I started this post with ‘Copper’, thinking this was his post, had to go back and edit when I noticed it was actually you.
Anyway I’m not all that worried about massive deaths in nail salons, these Vietnamese slave girls tend to be quite young.
It’s more the thought process of the governor. One would think the early waves would be businesses with lots of economic bang for your epidemiological buck, and I don’t see how nail salons fit that bill.
