Has anyone been to a cinema post lockdown yet?
It looks cool, but not sure i'm comfortable with risks.I may be a bit late to the party, but this looks like a good selection of films, a bit different to the usual Netflix / Prime offeringshttps://mubi.com/

Both my kids have been on separate occasions and said it was fine. Loads of space, clean and orderly. Far less crowded than your average shop or pub.
Unfortunately two American epidemiologists don't think it is a good idea to go to the cinema at the moment.
If I was a massive cinephile, my viewpoint might be different as I'd value the experience more. If I had a higher risk occupation, then the risk of a cinema visit might seem minimal compared to the risk of going to work.

They're limited to ⅓ capacity, everyone has to wear masks, everyone is sat down doing nothing, everyone faces the same way... At some point you have to ask what are you willing to do? I understand if you have a condition which means you're at increased risk but otherwise, I can't see it's much more 'risky' than leaving the house at all. The only thing that's stopped me going to see Tenet the other day was than its really long and I was feeling a bit sleepy!

Far less crowded than your average shop or pub.You don't hang around in a shop with the same people for 2-3 hours though, and given the reported outbreaks linked to pubs I wouldn't take 'not as bad as a pub' as a recommendation.The biggest screen at our local Vue has 360 seats. Ok, they're reducing capacity, spacing out groups etc. but with the current estimated infection rate in the community the chance of someone in an auditorium that size at quarter capacity having Covid-19 would be ~5%. I'm not comfortable with a 5% chance of sitting in an enclosed space for 2-3 hours with someone infected, and not because of the risk to me (the estimated hospitalisation and fatality rates for my age group are pretty small) but because I then wouldn't be happy to visit my parents afterwards. Yes, everyone's supposed to wear a mask, but you can take it off to eat and drink and I reckon enforcement of it would be about as good as on an average Tui flight from Zante...If I was a massive cinephile, my viewpoint might be different as I'd value the experience more. If I had a higher risk occupation, then the risk of a cinema visit might seem minimal compared to the risk of going to work. For me it would be the riskiest thing in terms of Covid I'd have done since March and I don't value the pay-off for that risk enough.
