Hmmmm... I read the article, and MT seems to think COVID guidelines are "hyper-paranoid". I think it's just a tradeoff at the end of the day. These projects are often very expensive, and they are systems that rely on the health of a few key components. Even a few sick days for talent has a price for production. Film sets are crowded affairs. I think it makes sense to be a little draconian in this setting. Anyways... doesn't matter what anyone here thinks LOL -- plenty of bodies willing to work in the film industry. This sort of stuff will start to disappear when either: 1. COVID becomes a less harmful and less contagious virus. 2. Studios and production execs stop caring about wasted money or failed projects. But even then, the specter of a liability lawsuit will probably keep these staff employed for the duration of the decade.
