I can respect a different opinion from a colleague, but I have to ask if you are familiar with Brownwood, and the location of the theater, the parking lot and the back entrance?
Where is NY are these clinics in a less populated area? Certainly not NYU on 1st Ave or Lenox Hill on E 77th. Or are they? When I was in school, Kings County Hospital had 3,000 of the first 10,000 cases of HIV. The hysteria surrounding AIDS was similar to that of COVID. There were suggestions that all AIDS cases should be sent to an Aleutian Island! The NIMBYs didn't want them anywhere near them.
Then, add the factor that these are the same exact people that you would run into at the grocery store, bank, or pharmacy. Also add that most of them will follow the protocols, stay quarantined if positive and wear a mask. I really don't think anyone should get their undies in a bunch, unless we want to require a scarlet "C" or have them yell "unclean" if anyone comes near.
