Coronavirus Thread mark II: Official Apocalyptic Edition

[San Lumen]

With theater just go Live. Broadcast the plays, the musicals and concerts online.

Yep. The internet can be a quite wonderful thing.

and we can buy everything online too. No need to shop in a store or have a nice meal in a restaurant.

Yep. The internet can be a quite wonderful thing.

And it’s not a permanent measure. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

[The Black Forrest]

Indeed. Instead of this worry of a vaccine; they should be working on a fast testing kit. If it can give a local result, then gathering type events and work can be done.

Didn’t they make one kit that detects CoVID19 in 45 minutes?

They did. It needs to be faster to be practical for these environments.

[Galloism]

Hospitality industry wouldn't be ruined. Sports can be done on TV still, although it will have to change the funding model.

Theatre is a problem, I'll grant you, but given we've had the theatre for thousands of years, a 12-18 month disruption in theatre activities isn't likely to end the theatre forever.

How would you change the model.

Sports are majorly funded by ticket sales. They get some money from the networks for allowing them broadcast rights, but not near enough to cover the costs of playing the game. With the loss of most of their ticket sales due to social distancing, they would need the networks to pick up the slack.

That filters down eventually to your cable bill, especially the sports packages.

And if you can't have an audience you can't have theatre, ballets or operas. It becomes pointless to play before a empty house and just stream it.

I'll take your word for it, but that has nothing to do with what I said. Try reading it again.

How about yes. If these asshats put people at risk then it is very fitting to force them to help those people and see what their short sighted and selfish actions have caused. And it will help the healthcare system manage the virus which is one of the main points of the lockdown.

You're putting a unqualified person, who likely doesn't want to be there in an important potentially life saving occupation, that is such an idiotic idea that will literally only get more people killed.

Their not going to be involved with the medical work. Just the mundane shit like cleaning, delivering food and medicine, changing sheets etc etc to help ease the burden on medical staffs.

Lumen the internet and streaming is a thing. A thing that can make people money.

It doesn't have to be a role where they have to take care of people like a doctor.

Things like delivering supplies, delivering medication, minor jobs that can help the healthcare system deal with this without them being in a direct role.

I agree and fast track a cure too.

A cure? Well at least till it mutates. There will be a second wave.

Asia already report cases of re-infection......

Didn’t they make one kit that detects CoVID19 in 45 minutes?

15 minutes. But the machine can only handle 1 test at a time for the moment.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Maybe with more investigation we can get one that gives fast results like the influenza test. Which, in my experience getting tested, it gives results in 10 minutes.

Typically you would have them fill the support roles that are needed so doctors and nurses can focus on the life saving things.

That’s even faster if limited.

without an audience theatre becomes pointless and unprofitable. Where is the money going to come from to sustain the production costs and keep the lights on?

[Andsed]

Yep. The internet can be a quite wonderful thing.

and we can buy everything online too. No need to shop in a store or have a nice meal in a restaurant.

I mean yeah. Online shopping and delivery are quite viable. And again it is not permanent. Just until things get under control.

[Cisairse]

Is this some sort of gotcha because it's unironically true

[Satuga]

If they are ok with strolling about during a time where people should be self isolated, do you really think they're above potentially sabotaging things like food and medicine? We got idiots going around licking and spitting in or on produce, im sure someone who is being forced to work at a place isn't going to be above purposefully infecting themselves and then trying to spread it out to all the staff, or patients.

I love that he’s turning ideas down that could help these activities continue even under these strenuous circumstances.

[Salandriagado]

Spain and Italy are on a downward trend of their 1st derivative, but not of the actual slope. Total number of cases is still increasing at a rate higher than the recovery and death rate combined. It'll be awhile before that goes negative.

They haven’t reported deaths in several consecutive days though.

This doesn't seem to be true. Have you got something like "an increase in" missing from the sentence?

True but that still comes with problems as ive stated above.

Nobody does, but functionally speaking, it's what needs to happen.

Again, try reading it again.

A 12-18 month disruption is certainly financially painful, and will require some kind of a bailout, but ultimately, the theatre will start up again - either under the same ownership or new ownership. Theatre as a concept will not die because of a temporary disruption.

How is a theatre going to keep the lights on, pay production costs or actors salaries without ticket sales?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Nah, I read some bad info and then corrected my statement a few poste later.

[Greater Miami Shores]

Please find me one person in all of the world that has said this situation is permanent. Otherwise, you're flat out making shit up and then arguing against it.

There's a word for that, and stop lighting him on fire.

He fell into a ring of fire?

lol, what a coincidence I love American Country Music, Johnny Cash and Ring of Fire.

I hate mustard, I know how you feel and I feel your Pain San Lumen:

Not really. Changing sheets requires no special skills, nor does delivering a meal, and neither involves life saving.

You sell the shoes online. Duh. Like people buy boxing matches on PayPerView.

You can always sell tickets to the livestream.
