Forcing people to work without adequate testing , or having a system in place to produce enough medical supplies for public protections is absent . By not knowing the real infection rates from refusing mass testing will fail badly , and these politicians promoting reopening will soon be having a change of heart, if they have one. Its still unsafe and many people will not return , and why trump and Moscow Mitch are refusing more stimulus checks, they're trying to starve us into prematurely returning while an active pandemic from this virus is still attacking us. Its clear to me this is already backfiring and trump is now suggesting schools return . Remember they haven't cleaned anything yet , including all ventilation systems , or know what kids could be carriers now without testing. It looks to me trump is intentionally trying to hurt us now with this pandemic to improve his re-election chances, it won't . Its backfiring on them already, and you know it is because Moscow Mitch is already trying to put it into law lawsuits against them cannot be done,which to me shows they know it is a mistake , and leaves them at great legal risk. The people going out soon will also change their minds when it blows up even worse from this, and it will, only making this last longer.

course he is.. but does he have to prove ad infinitum?

The real reason is buried at the end of the article. Opening their doors would cost them more than staying closed.

It isn't just that opening now would be more expensive... they don't have a product to sell.

I'm sure that, at least in theory, some areas of the country are ready to open up gradually... but movie theaters aren't going to benefit from that for some time.


Add to all of that the fact that just about every pandemic movie ever shown includes a scene of people being infected at a theater...
