I'm sure there is positive news in the world at the moment - you just seem to post nothing but negative news and put down other people like myself who are trying to stay optimistic about the film coming out on schedule.
As I said before, I live in the UK. Cinemas in the UK have been closed since late March and aren't re-opening until 4th July. You've been quite lucky compared to me (apart from your mad president compared to my idiotic Prime Minister). I have regularly checked for updates re. cinema re-openings in the UK in the meantime.
Glad to know I wasted my time talking to a liar. Your post has been flagged for spreading false information and false accusations about another member.
I provided you with a link proving you were wrong, but you decided to double down on sprouting lies.
Oh I see. Sorry, I didn't see this message. I apologize and I'm sorry that I offended you. I am just trying to stay positive about this situation so I don't why posting about film delays or death totals is helpful in the long run for anyone (obviously it's helpful at the time so as to gain some understanding of the situation but you have to try and concentrate on the positive side of things as much as you can to balance it).
As I said before, I live in the UK, so therefore I haven't been able to go to the cinema throughout this whole lockdown period. When cinemas do re-open on 4th July, I will rectify that as soon I possible.
I've already been to the cinema twice since they reopened on June 22nd - 3rd time coming tomorrow and 4th time next Tuesday. So if there's anyone who is 'using an excuse to hide away from the world', it isn't me.
I'm wasn't saying that you were but that some people will use it as an excuse.
To be honest,im actually more sad about WW84 being delayed than NTTD but i fear we will be lucky to see either of these movies this year.
+1 The best we can do now is take precautions and get to work. As for some positive news, recovery rate here might have improved significantly as does new cases, sadly, still a long way to go.
I've been to the movies 14 times since May, and I feel safe.
In my city (Hamburg/1.9 million people) we're from having more than 5000 corona cases down to 13 actual infected people at the moment.
If people as a collective really want to solve the problem, it works. But if people don't hold to the Runde you get a second wave, and that would destroy lots of cinemas.
You say that, but if the economy is badly affected, then that affects more people's lives (job losses, people can't afford rent / mortgage, possibly food at some point afterwards - millions of people already live in poverty as it is). The economy affects all of us in the end so getting things back on track (to an extent for now) is vitally important.
Cases are still surging in 27 states, and most of them are setting records daily infections rate on a daily basis. That is the reality. There has been zero downwards trend of the outbreak in the US. Yet people who report these facts will get people complaining that they are being overly negative. Maybe we should just post fake numbers that shows the outbreak is actually about to disappear from the planet because Tenet is coming out in 7 weeks.
Seeing certain members who I thought were very pragmatic are showing a serious lack of intelligence and common sense when a major world event is shattering their daily lives. I certainly wasn't expecting to see people claiming the pandemic will definitely end in time for NTTD because obviously coronavius is a James Bond fan so why would it delay the new 007 film.
We just don't know either way at this point. I, for one, am staying on the positive side as much as possible. I'd rather be unrealistically optimistic than relentlessly pessimistic about the situation. The sooner it comes out, the sooner we can finally talk about a now very long awaited new Bond film. That's the end goal of this in terms of us all being Bond fans.
Unless you want me to post fake positive news and/or fake numbers, the situation is not improving in the US. Until it does improve, no films will be coming out. The US are currently starting their second peak of the pandemic. The previous peak lasted 2 months, and didn't involve 29 states (more than half the country). Add 1 month as a precaution. That takes us to early October. This is when the second wave of the pandemic could start affecting the rest of the world again. By then, NTTD will be 1.5 month away, or maybe NTTD will still be 4/5 months away.
It's not about being optimistic or pessimistic, but realistic.
Because when a daily wage earner works he earns money that day & spends 80 to 90% of it on food & other things essential to survive. It's not just about money. This keeps him & his family of 2–4 alive. If he does not earn then he & his family starve.
The health of the economy is directly tied to the health of people, and when you trash the economy and wipe out people’s livelihoods, you throw them into all kinds of things that cause serious health problems: particularly stress, depression, loneliness and anxiety. Humans are humans, they have emotions and it's tied to their health. Most of the world doesn’t have the mostly affluent and Western luxury of going under indefinite shutdown or lockdown. If it’s a choice between starvation and staying in shutdown/lockdown, I guarantee you that 100% of people will choose eating in about 3 or 4 days. I’ve read about the fate of migrant workers in some countries, take Jordan for example which was the case i specifically read about — some migrant workers already haven’t eaten in a week, because they’re not allowed to work and the government isn’t feeding them. They have no resources and charity is running thin.
While all of this is true, what people fail to realize is we are dealing with a virus that does not care at all about any of those problems. If this daily wage earner goes to work to feed his family of 2-4, if his parents/grandparents (depending on his age) live in the same household, he will be directly responsible for killing them.
This is the main issue that no one has a solution for. Going back to normality will directly kill a vast number of the world's population. Going into lockdown until a vaccine is found (which may never be found) will directly kill a vast number of the world's population.
+1
Because people gotta work if they don't want to starve.
I'm sorry but it's the parents/grandparents' fault. It was not my decision to be born, I was brought into this world without my consent and now I don't want to starve because granddad could not keep it in his pants. Pandemics have always been a thing, when people procreate they must realize that fighting pandemics is a possibility and that going to work is a necessity. If you didn't think about the risks when you had a child, then you deserve to face the consequences.
Let me put it another way: Enough daily wage earners infect their grandparents, enough grandparents get placed into extensive care, now it is not only their grandparents they are responsible for killing, but they are now also responsible for killing cancer patients. Cancer patients that may be the same age as these daily wage earners. What did they do to deserve this? A 20 years-old suffering a heart attack or a car accident can die directly because of daily workers causing too many serious infections. What did this young man or woman do to deserve this?
We are nearly 7 months into a global pandemic and we still have people refusing to admit that how our society works is not adapted to deal with this pandemic. The simple action of going to work is directly leading to people dying.
If this isn't sarcasm, then it's an absolutely psychopathic statement.
But I'll remember it when the time comes to planning to have kids with my other half:
"Maybe we shouldn't do this, our Grandkids could kill us in the future and it would be our fault."
Nothing, but I don't see why people should lose their jobs only because a 20 year old might suffer a car accident.
I've been saying this long before the Covid outbreak and I was mocked. Ironic.
This line of thinking is incredibly dangerous. You are putting a death sentence on everyone who suffer a car accident, a heart attack, on every cancer patients, on pregnant women giving birth to new babies, etc.
Once extensive care units are full because your work is so precious, you end up causing a mass killing of your fellow citizens.
Thousands of deaths, sometimes even thousands of daily deaths all because people are unable to understand there is an ongoing pandemic so normal activities such as going to work become incredibly dangerous to others around you.
Hospitals reached the point where they need to choose between saving a Covid-19 patient or a 6 months old baby who happened to be inside a car that crashed. The lack of humanity in 2020 is truly sad to witness.
