Sorry Man but that’s a bit insulting just because some disagree with you.
Perhaps so... I certainly didn't intend it that way, so apologies for that.

Sorry Man but that’s a bit insulting just because some disagree with you.
In the coming months, we'll see what happens as they analyze the upcoming spikes that will surely take place with the sudden collapse of social distancing and PPE compliance.RE: others, I get that you all disagree there's any meaningful differences, and I can see I probably won't convince you otherwise.
So be it... but I do think most of you are falling into false dichotomies and absolutes about much of this... instead of reasonably scrutinizing meaningful details and differences and weighing accordingly.
Ultimately, much of this comes down to risk management, and generally, that doesn't work w/ an overly simplistic, all-or-nothing, one-size-fits-all approach to problems that ignores context and differences...

You can argue the severity but I'd say that going out without a mask and DUI are the same in the sense that people have the misconception that they'll be fine if they do it and that both show a high level of disregard for other people. No one hops in a car drunk and thinks that someone will be killed by that action but it can happen. The same goes for not adhering to social distancing rules. It's not really a hard thing to do so to not do it is just selfish.
I'm not sure others were arguing just that specific point!My main, original point (along this line) was really whether we should make use of certain rules and whether they can be effective enough to help despite lack of perfect compliance.
Most others don't seem to think a mask-wearing rule would help much (for any theater going context). And I was arguing that maybe it can be effective enough to help enough in some contexts like Carnegie Hall concerts while far less so in the avg movie theater setting (and I provided some diffs I saw between those contexts). And also, I wasn't saying that's all that's needed either...
Yes, I do generally agree w/ your point about both being significant disregard, but would disagree w/ the level of disregard if someone is asymptomatic (and not tested positive) not wearing mask vs someone driving while intoxicated.

Like I keep saying - with no malice and no hard feelings - 2020 for entertainment in public is over. It may not be official yet, but it is for me and I suspect it will be official for everyone before too long.
I'm not so sure about that. I can see a revamped show taking place as Jake indicated. It wouldn't surprise me either way.Absolutely will be postponed.
The academy has ruled that anything released on streaming that was originally intended for theaters as long as they are released during the pandemic are Oscar eligible.The Academy is considering a postponement of the 2021 Oscars:
Film Academy Considering Postponing 2021 Oscars (EXCLUSIVE)
The date for the 93rd Oscars may be changing due to the coronavirus pandemic.variety.com
As I recall, the governor of California had previously said that live theatre events would be among the last to come back there, and of course the Oscars traditionally involves thousands of people packing into the Dolby Theatre. So this does not surprise me much. They might be able to keep the date In February if they wanted to figure out a way to do it remotely, but there's no way if it involves an in-person mass gathering like usual.
Also, of course, if movie theaters keep pushing back their reopening, there's a question of how many movies would be released and able to be honored. Even though they are now allowing streaming films to compete if they had a theatrical release planned pre-coronavirus, the whole point of the Oscars is to promotemovies, and that would be hard to do until theaters are open again.

That much I agree with!Right, but the Oscars are used to promote the moviegoing experience. I'm not sure whether they would want to do that in the same way if theaters are still closed next year. We'll have to see what happens.
If they still want to do it in the same way, a remote live show is possible, or a postponement. But there's no way that there will be thousands of celebrities gathered together in the Dolby next February.
The CDC now proclaims C-19 doesn't get transmitted via surfaces all that easily, so maybe that'll help people not freaking out about encountering surfaces in theaters, restaurants, etc. going forward.
Congratulations?There is absolutely no way I'm going to watch a movie with a mask on.
