Pandemic adviser with no epidemiology background reportedly pushes White House to adopt herd immunity strategy https://www.yahoo.com/news/pandemic-adviser-no-epidemiology-background-140653239.html White House adviser joins DeSantis to tout COVID strategy: Test only those with symptoms https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-house-adviser-joins-desantis-172517390.html The new bright guy is already working hard, Pushing for herd immunity and less testing. Less testing = less cases = no lockdowns. "People with no symptoms should be discouraged from testing because it leads to shutdowns". Atlas supports policies of herd immunity and has urged that the United States adopt the model Sweden has used to respond to the virus outbreak, which advocates for lifting restrictions to allow more exposure and allow people to build up immunity to the disease rather than limiting social and business interactions to prevent the virus from spreading, according to recent reporting in The Washington Post.

Went yesterday to the beach in local tourist district. No mask in sight, no social distantion, restaurants, cafe, streets vendors, attractions and aquapark work pretty much as usual. Everything was really crowded. People simply dont care anymore. And Ukraine went from 300-400 cases in May to 2000+ in August. With enough testing it would be probably at least 5000+. Country simply can't afford another lockdown. Even small regional lockdowns are not welcome by local authorities. They believe that any hard restrictions will ruin their reputation and chances for reelection so it's better to do nothing at all. With schools reopenings in a week the country is heading to a total disaster.

China had probably the strictest lockdown in the world. In many cities you couldnt even go outside at all. Everything was enforced, no idiotic encouragement or whining about freedoms. Temperature checks and tests everywhere. So people are more or less sure that it is safe to go. And stilll they go only for one particular movie. Onward bombed and Trolls sequel did pathetic numbers. Europe did not so good and covid is already back thanks to millions of tourists, parties, bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Most likely with school reopeinings it will be much worse pretty soon. And i dont even want to talk about countries like Ukraiine. Went yesterday to a beach in tourist disctrict. Everything was crowded with not a single mask in sight. You cant tell any difference compared to last year.

In Russia we have every week betweeen 10 and 15 wide releases from independent distributors. Good legs is such crowded enviroment are virtually impossible. Even Tenet probably wont stay wide for months as WB hope for.

All tickets are bought via internet. So everything is more presales loaded.

Apparently WB asked for 55% grosses of Tenet instead of usual 50%. Theaters are furious, many refusing. They say it applies for other countries too.

New Trump coronavirus adviser thinks that lockdown impedes herd immunity. "In the absence of immunization, society needs circulation of the virus, assuming high-risk people can be isolated," he wrote in an op-ed for The Hill in April. "It is very possible that whole-population isolation prevented natural herd immunity from developing. During this interview Atlas also said that it was perfectly safe for the college football season to start this fall. He said that athletes would be in a "very sophisticated environment" to prevent the spread of the disease, and claimed that being "physical specimens" meant there was "virtually zero risk" of the virus hurting them. According to a pool report from the event, Atlas said that the "risk of the disease is extremely low for children, even less than that of seasonal flu" and that the "harms of locking out the children from school are enormous." https://www.yahoo.com/news/meet-trumps-coronavirus-adviser-dr-125550223.html

I think you are just a bit too harsh. All western vaccines are first of all for making money and profit with huge competition between many different parties. And that makes things much more complicated, Russian or Chinese vaccines are funded by the government and for giving people. Not selling it at least at home, If vaccine fails it would be the goverment fail and a really big fail. If some western vaccine fail not a big deal, no one will be blamed too much,
