Watched the news tonight, talking about businesses reopening. Showed a hair salon with a girl using a hair dryer, blasting anything airborne all over the place.

If restaraunts were to open, folks have to realize that only 1/5 to 1/4 of people are getting jobs back. And bars should never open until this is eradicated.

No way hair salons should open yet, cant cut hair 6 feet apart

Unless a breakthrough vaccine comes through, this thing won’t be eradicated for years. Herd immunity doesn’t happen until 80% of the population gets the disease. Staying home just prolongs that process. Full scale testing doesn’t eradicate it either. Just slows it down some. 
 

Bottom line, waiting for this thing to be ‘eradicated’ will result in massive employment and even bigger poverty driven public health issues.

The problem is they don’t know yet if herd immunity is a thing or not or how long it lasts. That said this can’t go on like this for years obviously so somethings gonna have to give at some point.

True, they don’t know for sure if immunity to covid is real or how long it lasts. All viruses leave some level of immunity so this one most likely does.

If it doesn’t, a vaccine will be impossible.

Theaters will come back. The studios need that box office money. I don't see these efforts of trying to sell a stream for a new movie for $20 going over well at all.

Updated April 28: Trolls World Tour made some major noise when it became the first high-profile studio release to bypass theaters for an on-demand debut. And now Universal has proof of concept for that approach to the tune of $100 million. According to The Wall Street Journal, 5 million customers have powered the cartoon sequel to $77 million in rentals, which means that the studio has made $95 million in overall rental fees. That’s a stronger revenue stream than the 2016 original — which grossed $153 million during its theatrical lifespan — in large part because Universal is able to keep 80 percent of the digital returns instead of the 50 percent the studio receives from multiplex ticket sales.

That's an interesting bit of information, and I will be interested to see how it plays out in the future.  Part of me thinks this is too unique of a situation for the studios to learn much about the idea right now.  You've got people sitting at home, bored out of their minds and a bunch of kids sitting with them and parents wanting any kind of distraction they can give them right now.

Recently I discovered the restaurant theaters and I am a fan of those, even though it comes with a premium cost.

If they pull this off it would be beyond unprecedented.

The smartest part is going ahead and producing "in case" it is right.

This goes against the age old slow method of not producing "in case" it is wrong

The reality is that those are financial decisions. If it's wrong, they've wasted a bunch of time, money, and other resources. In this situation, they're probably getting enough financial backing to make it worth their while regardless.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
