yeah, keep acting normal, that's sure to bring back tourism and economies. broadway just cancelled all their shows until may of next year, a pure business decision, nothing to do with gov't policy.
i understand we're anxious and angry to return to a sense of normalcy, but make no mistake, it has nothing to do with sheer will. business cannot survive on the select few "choosing" to be reckless.
it will return when we get it under control and people's perceive risk (whether valid) goes down.
- josephcsible 6y ago> nothing to do with gov't policy Not true. If they were allowed to fill their theaters up, they'd probably have reopened already. The business decision to not reopen is because they can't be profitable with the vastly reduced capacity that the government is currently mandating.
- ookblah 6y agolook at any country with open policies. attendance at theaters and the like are at record lows. spending is down. broadway in NYC runs on tourism. you might survive for a few months, but if the science is correct, you will just shut down again or people will be afraid to go. broadway can't afford to gamble like that.
- josephcsible 6y agoLook at where exactly? The only equivalent to Broadway I know of is London's West End, and they don't have open policies.
