I don't claim to be educated in these matters... these matters are split 50/50. They are split opinions even in the big shots running all of this.
This conversation started out with an explanation (with some sarcasm lol) as to why a lot of the talent isn't working, and it is to keep not only ourselves safe, but also other people safe.
I then got called a crazy liberal or something like that LOL.
I don't personally go around yelling at people for being on this side or that, but I do consider it when deciding whether or not I want to be around the person.
There is a big difference between going back to work and doing a job where you can wash your hands, social distance, and wear masks for a disease that is spread via droplets versus doing a job where you are in close contact - even if you're not kissing - exposed to droplets... and let's get real, based on my experience, most will not see us if kissing is not involved... and the pressure will be sky high to do so in person, even if the provider is uncomfortable.
(Airborne requires a different type of isolation/masks vs droplets I believe...)
While I don't claim to know much, I have done my reading so I can rationalize somewhat and do my own risk assessment, which I believe other people have as well. I'm not going to expose myself liberally simply because I am afraid to be called stupid, and I don't think a lot of others will either, lol.
I will add: in some countries where this is legal, providers are being fined up to 20,000 for working during this time.
