Do you know which sign will be a good one to indicate that we're more safe?
When they'll open movie theaters (indoors).
007 - No Time To Die
They already opened a few in Texas. Screening for temperature upon entering, masks required for employees and encouraged for customers, seating every other row and groups spaced 6 feet apart. That will probably be the new normal when they open elsewhere.
I hope that cases and deaths go down everywhere, obvs. It's really hard to tell what's what when graphs from different sources can vary so differently, on top of it being within a two-week preliminary period. So here are two articles about how to read the data and what experts are thinking:

Groups going to a theater are typically 1 to 4 in size and almost nobody sits in like the first 3 rows anyway. That would mean a sold out show would be what 10 to 15% of what a pre corona virus sold out show was? I don't know if theaters are even profitable at a best case scenario at this point.

Cool. I would wear a mask myself, because of the air conditioning (AC) system.
And I also think 3D movies are safer than 2D movies.

That is certainly true. And speaking for myself I am in no rush in returning to movie theaters. Watching 4K Blus @ home is just fine for now and for the next while.
They could release 'Tenet' and 'No Time To Die' earlier on 4K Blu-Ray and I wouldn't complain one iota bit.
While some businesses gear up to reopen, others are grappling with what to do next after Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced not all businesses would be able to open up come Saturday.
Indoor malls, gyms, and salons are among some of the businesses that have to stay closed. Restaurants also must stick to curb-side and delivery only.
With no certain date of re-opening set, many said they are in limbo. “72 hours before this is supposed to expire we’re told, ‘oh, well now we’re changing the way we’re looking at things’ and it was just kind of unfortunate,” Joe Garcia, vice president of Weck’s, said.
Garcia and president of Weck’s, Art Kaplan, said on Tuesday, they were one of about 500 restaurants in the state on a Zoom call with the governor’s office. There, Kaplan and Garcia said they laid out their 70-plus page plan on how to host customers safely.
Some of the measures include no waiting in the lobby, 50% capacity, sanitizing tables between customers, personal protective equipment for employees, and distance between customers. After presenting the plan on Tuesday, they got the news they didn’t want to hear on Wednesday.
“More than anything, disbelief. If this isn’t what we needed, then we’re looking for answers on why. We don’t feel like we’ve been kept in the loop,” Garcia said.
While recognizing his business can financially withstand the pandemic more than others, Kaplan said the restaurant lost about $525,000 in April and spent another $250,000 getting ready to open again. This included upping food production and buying over $10,000 worth of sanitizer.
He wants to open his restaurants at 50% capacity. “Many of us just can’t function, can’t pay our bills even at 25% occupancy. Can’t pay our bills doing to go and delivery,” he said. “Economically, none of us can go on much longer. Restaurants across the state are closing.”
Gyms and salons are also among the businesses that can’t open until further notice. Earlier in the week, Orange Theory Fitness sent members an email saying they would be ready to open, with restrictions in place, on May 18. After the governor’s announcement, the gym sent a follow-up email saying it will have to stay closed.
Owners of Town’s Hair Shop, Bree Barela, and Brittany Moreno, said they were preparing to welcome customers back in. They were cleaning the shop and scheduling a few clients at a time over extended hours to ensure social distancing when they opened. The owners called the extended closure ‘daunting.’
In a press conference on Wednesday, the governor said these types of businesses had to remain closed since they involve a lot of person-to-person contact over an extended period of time. The governor said it will look at re-opening these businesses in early June but noted that could only happen if the state shows progress in slowing the spread of COVID-19.
Businesses are skeptical their closures won’t get extended again. “We don’t have a whole lot of confidence that come June first or the first of June the rules won’t change again and that’s not a good feeling, especially when I have 400 employees that depend on us,” Garcia said.

Yup she's doing whatever she wants without listening to these suffering employees and business owners. It's time for a new governor.
Yes Penton-Man, I wear prescription glasses so I'm mostly protected in that regard (mostly, because they aren't safety glasses) Agree that it's good practice to wear eye protection in close quarters.
It kinds of make our freedom right to privacy a little moot ...
...Like living under strict orders (regime).
There's a balance ⚖ between health ⚕ and privacy ⚜
It's ☯️
And the clock ⏰ is still ticking and it will for all the years to come.
Coronavirus is another bad virus (very bad) that we'll have to live and adapt with in the now and for the future of next generations ... grand grandchildren. ... till they'll get over 60 and 70 and beyond if they're lucky. ...I think.
We all hope to make the best decisions, same as our elected leaders.
And, we sure want healthy leaders all the way...Physically and Mentally.
...All world's leaders from all world's countries.
When it comes to global human health there's no substitute for negotiation and margin of error. It's more serious than life and death...it's our children's future.
The sacrifices we make today is for humanity's survival...everything we worked for, everything we fought for, everything we live for. ...Our independence and freedom, our liberty (liberation and deliverance).
...Our health.
What's the difference anyways? We just lost another shot at privacy/freedom this week:
The Senate on Wednesday narrowly defeated a measure seeking to prevent Americans’ internet browsing and search histories from warrantless surveillance by the federal government.
The vote was 59 in favor, 37 opposed ― short of the necessary 60 votes needed for adoption.
1 vote short of passing the bill.
Quote:
“Is it right at this unique time when millions of law-abiding citizens are at home, for the government to be able to spy on their internet searches and web browsing without a warrant?” Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked on Wednesday, referring to the coronavirus epidemic. “That’s exactly what the government has the power to do without our amendment.”
Watch the personal attacks please. Stay in your house forever...the world will keep on turning with or without you.
There is no personal attack. Please stop telling people what to do...including me....in this very post.
Unless you're a medical professional (and since you REFUSE to tell us what you do up there in Albany, we don't know), I'll go ahead and ignore any advice you may have for anyone.
Meanwhile, I just got off the phone with another friend who's recovering from it. Hellacious side effects and it really put him through the wringer. Oh...and btw Dr. Albany, he's 27.
