I also don’t see what impact time of day has on covid cases, ridiculous. I hope they don’t introduce that here in Scotland, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Krissykins Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 And it lasts until the 30th of January. That means, due to runtime, no one in Ireland who works til 5pm can go and see Spider-Man during the week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Covid only attack after dark? I can understand reintroducing social distancing measures by leaving a seat or two gap between bookings, but a time curfew does absolutely nothing, infact it’ll likely have the opposite effect by cramming people into earlier showings because they have less options. Absolutely ridiculous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Cinemas seems to have the opposite problem compared to other sectors, they can't keep people away due to Spider-Man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I really don't get why close everything in the Night, the virus spread mostly during daytime. Instead of this bullshit they should just demand masks the whole time or require vaccination / negative test to enter the theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Again Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 What is not important to governments: stopping covid What is important to governments: perception of trying to stop covid The whole restriction and other NPI situation (and the PI situation for that matter) has become rather perverse and anti-science.

Krissykins Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Well here we have it, the UK government are considering a 2 week lockdown after Christmas Day that would see cinemas completely close. This is so unfair. Source: The Times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not suprising though, we will see ,i think that there will be more restrictions for sure but i bet that the lockdown will be last last result ( and its not even a real lockdown).As article said johnson was presented with a variety of options.

They might not be calling it a lockdown, but under those plans the only things open would be retail shops and schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danhjpn Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 What is the point of 2 weeks lockdown? Most people already fully vaccinated. Most of people who died or in serious condition are the ones didn't fully vacinnated yet. Lockdown to protect people who have not vaccinated/don't want to vacine? If number of new cases rises but the deaths still the same level, then it's not dangerous. Vaccine is doing its work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danhjpn Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Why not just require masks inside the cinema and only allow people who already fully vaccinated enter? Many countries are doing that. At worst, can apply the capacity restriction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
