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.

You know those chairs can move right?  And they can wear masks.  It not that complicated.

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.

Anyways, the point I was trying to make was the use of a hair dryer to propel anything airborne all over the place.

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.
