Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHas Covid19 killed the film business? How will they ever show a crowd scene without masks?
Will all scenes of everyday life be fiction and pretend nothing has changed?
Will all actors have to wear masks from now on?
Just been watching movies and thinking, they can't film that today and call it contemporary life.

When Becky and Darlene and their coworkers went to the break room last week everyone wore masks walking there but then took them off when they sat down at the table and started talking. Like - huh? Isnt that when you want them on, when you are within 6 ft?

Now they wear masks partially... But, they always have one in hand... I get this and am okay with it... Comedy is about delivery, and facial expressions are important.

Run thousands of tests per week per production in the name of entertainment; while front line healthcare workers look on in amazement saying: What the fuck...?

I wonder if anyone's watching over the planeload of vaccines that was flown from Belgium to Chicago. Or is it hitting the black market (for Jared's profits)
