People breathing unmasked around other people in a public place puts each other (and other future contacts not even in that environment) at risk. If you don’t understand that then that is the thing that is truly perplexing. My point, which is sad that I have to spell it out, was that there is...

You got that right.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03518-4 “In some regions of the United States, more than half of people who test positive provide no details of contacts when asked. These statistics come not from the first wave of COVID-19, but from November, long after initial lockdowns gave...

Contact tracing is only useful when the number of infections in a community is relatively low. It is simply not possible to identify the source of every infection when there is unchecked, widespread community transmission. Do you actually believe that every person with a positive COVID-19 test...

You’re talking nonsense. Again I ask you, where is the data that shows the location of where everyone has been infected?

Right, contact tracing in the US is an absolute joke. You can only get useful information from something like that when the numbers are very low in the community. So saying there hasn’t been any confirmed cases of someone contracting COVID from any particular type of place is meaningless...

I had my second dose last week, so I’ll be fully vaccinated in May. I plan on keeping an eye on the number of infections in the community and what is happening with the variants and how that impacts vaccine efficiency over the next two months. Depending on how things look, I think there’s a...

Wait, how do you know where the everyone who died got infected? Where’s the list of that data, I must have missed it.

I’m glad you’re doing well Jeff. Your story is a perfect example of what I’ve been saying to people for a long time now. The greatest risk of contracting this illness is not from the guy you pass in the isle at CVS or the girl giving you your takeout pizza. It’s from close friends and family...

Dwayne Johnson and his whole family recently recovered from the virus. "I could tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me, too, personally as well.”...

They have significantly reduced ticket prices and said concessions would be discounted as well, so buying extra seats isn’t too rough I suppose. I don’t think I’ll risk it anytime soon, but I also like to know my options. Here’s hoping over the next few months that we continue to hear of things...

I was looking at the Cinemark info, and it said they would block out seats next to parties. Like if you go with a significant other or household member you’d be sitting right next to each other and the seats on each side would be blocked. But what about if you wanted to go with your friend...

Working at a vaccine production site, in a state where face coverings at work places is mandatory per the governor, and the company also mandates that masks are mandatory except while eating I can 100% confirm that we cannot rely on others to comply to this reasonable (and respectful) behavior...

Far from it. Just an analytical chemist in Quality Control. A cog in the machine. But I’ll take the “Rocket” part, as I strongly identify with this wonderful, broken character. I think James Gunn and I would really get along (as he is Rocket, and I’m kinda Rocket too).

As Robert said, a vaccine. That pretty much should put the level of risk and anxiety back to relatively normal. Other possibilities that would maybe make me comfortable enough to go to a theater without a vaccine would be knockout therapeutics that dramatically reduce the fatality rate. Just...

Yes, a quarantine of the entire cast and production for two weeks prior to the start of filming and continuing through the entire run of principal photography is definitely a way to go. You need food and lodging for the entire crew, and “policing” to prevent anyone from breaking quarantine...

As I make vaccines for a living and am a scientist/biologist in education and world view I have some rather strong feelings towards anti-vaxxers. Though, if a vaccine becomes available that is highly effective my gut response to them is “You don’t want it? Great. More available for those who...

I’m going to cross post this here because after posting in the Matrix 4 thread I realized that as a general topic it probably applies more here. On the subject of film and TV productions resuming this summer: I think it may be possible for a lot of productions to resume in that timeframe if...

May be too late now, but maybe your friend would take this to heart:
