re UK reopening, we shall see, but no a reopening that assumes that some will "probably" test positive is not cool. The UK has done one thing well, which is the vaccination rollout. That's likely gonna change now that the EU has shut down exports but the high percentage (higher among theatre-goers no doubt, just as it is here) will help.
Re the risk, as I have related previously, the timelines you are talking about relate to the epidemiological risk (which continues until we near herd immunity) but not the personal risk. If you are vaccinated, you have immunity; if the employees are vaccinated, they have immunity; if the audience is vaccinated, they have immunity. No masks, no social distancing, just good old fashioned live theatre. All of this while the idiots who refuse to do the sane and rational thing (and who are mostly not theatre-goers anyway) continue to get sick. Also NB that the first goal is not having everyone test negative, it is eliminating symptomatic infections. We will have vaccine passports by this summer, and employees will have to be vaccinated to work.
Re performances without audiences, you have been told this before but don't seem to want to process it: we have protocols in place for performances filmed without audiences and we have them happening right here in NYC. (See, e.g., SNL.) So what's your point?
Re bashing unions, res ipsa loquitur. |
