I understand all that. But Schools are not the sole risk. Not nearly so much as Universities it would seem, or meat packaging plants. We can open schools and act accordingly to mitigate other societal risks. My kids go to school and are glad to be back and the school is doing a great job following the guidelines and instilling in the kids a sense of responsibility (more than can be said for many adults), but my kids also haven't seen their grand parents since last December, precisely for the reasons you highlight.
Meanwhile, we have people like this, undermining the good work. My mind races with what would be the most poetic for of justice for each and everyone of these idiots

I hope for them.
this is honestly why i think theres a decent chance bond may end up on streaming if a buyer offers the right price.
1 million is nothing. the film is 250 (net 300 or whatever) and they've already delayed one year which cost them only 12 million, peanuts in the big picture. Using this math they could even delay it for 5 years before it even mattered.
Agreed.
April we will be coming out of an apocalyptic winter of deaths and infections. It will still be wet and cold (in northern climes), people will be not confident about socialising in a cinema setting. I think that will change given a few months of warmer weather, a dropping infection rate, optimism about the vaccine etc etc.
April feels a little too close to winter for me.
But all of the other films, that got delayed, wrapped filming earlier than NTTD, some of themeven in 2018. So NTTD is still the freshest movie of them all.
So we Bond fans have to wait less than the fans of all the other franchises.
Which is why I don’t hold the COVID delays against EON, unlike a lot of entitled fans complaining about them.
The only criticism of the delays that I think are pretty valid is how MGM proceeded to keep marketing the film rather than put everything on hold, like WB has with WONDER WOMAN. Until either COVID subsides and/or a vaccine is ready for distribution, MGM really should have just waited on marketing.
Agree with this. One thing I've noticed is a couple of film magazines have put NTTD on their covers a couple times in a matter of months and will they be spinning their wheels if they do so again when it actually comes out?
The production hell is EON’s responsibility. Covid isn’t. They don’t get a pass on the former, regardless of what entitled fans think of the latter.
It looks like Dr. Fauci is also impressed with Moderna's vaccine. Seems vaccines are closer than ever now.
The problem is: it will take at least a year from now until almost everyone on this planet who wants the vaccine gets it.
There will be no "old normal" until 2022.
Yeah. Well, but at least a vaccine arriving, is good news amid this pandemic.
Precisely.
Also the way I see it, the film that Boyle was working on wasn't delayed. It was cancelled. When I think of delays regarding NTTD, I don't really include Boyle's film that was supposed to come out November 2019. It's effectively a different film, much like how Dalton's original Bond 17 script featuring cyborg henchmen was a different project from GOLDENEYE.
