I have a friend who's arguing that you shouldn't, because the vaccination rates aren't high enough yet, and since apparently people are stupid enough to go to the theater unvaccinated, they could get COIVD from being there and then spread it to other unvaccinated people.
However, in my state, getting the vaccine is very accessible and open to anyone over 16 now, and those with immunocompromised conditions have been able to get one since early/mid march, so, to me, it seems like anyone without one at this point is simply choosing not to get one. So, why should I continue to give up something as seemingly safe as sitting in a 200+ seat room with only like 10-15 people in it, socially distanced, with masks on, just because some assholes won't get the vaccine? I mean, both my friend and I work retail-type jobs that put us in contact w/ the public, so I don't see how the theater is any more of a potential spreading risk than work. So, unless you're still just isolating yourself completely in your home every day, is there really that much harm in going to theater once you're vaccinated?
I don't see the rush to going back to normal. All the people who didn't believe in the virus or the vaccine are going to be indoors, like they have been this whole time. My mother is coming to visit and wants to eat indoors with us. I'm like, why?
Even besides the risk numbers, which may or may not be ok, I just don't want to be thinking about it the whole time. It would ruin a movie or a meal for me at this point.
