suggest for your viewing

For all movie goers:
Regal pointe orlando with it's 6 story high movie ?????? Screen and acoustics is a marvel.
Parking next door is validated inside the theater. There's an elevator and wonderful restaurants nearby as well as nice, reasonable hotel rooms. The screen is so immense that i have found myself scanning several locations on it as fast as i could.
Here's to better days for us all.

Yes, I would if I were governor for a period of a few months until the war with CV is won - and not a minute before. These half-measure, baby steps are just incompetent "happy talk". Otherwise, we will be living with CV for the rest of our (older types) lives. We could have stopped CV cold even WITHOUT vaccines. In fact, we have so much disease in the US that it may be too late to stop it for everybody right now. Not everyone is lucky enough to have 2 shots in their bodies - and without everybody without CV, then no one is safe. Not even a 2 shot person. Too early to celebrate and do a victory dance! Nothing personal!

I have been one of the biggest proponents for wearing masks ever since this pandemic began. I am still a huge proponent of wearing a mask. Having said that, I will not wear a mask in a movie theater if I am DISTANCED from everyone else and I am munching on popcorn. Sorry if you feel I'm selfish, but I do not agree with you.

PS...... I do not wear a mask in a restaurant when I'm eating or drinking either.

A restaurant is NOT essential to life! And can cause death. Why play Russian roulette with an EVOLVING pandemic?

I thought all along I have had a hard nosed POV on mitigating this virus with mandating masking and social distancing. You have certainly surpassed what I feel are necessary measures. I applaud you but I'm certain many small businesses and restaurants would not go along with being shuttered all this time.
