Possessed said:My point is going to an empty restaraunt to buy a gift card (or even get a carry out meal) Could theoretically be safer than a crowded grocery store, but I guess I'm not really qualified to actually make that claim.
But this isn't a very productive conversation.

If you want reliable information, I suggest accessing your local government resources (e.g. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ in the UK, https://www.usa.gov/coronavirus in the USA or wherever you live) and reputable news outlets, not social media.
Remember that everyone is doing the best they can. Let's all try to help each other out instead of splaining or educating someone else to what our personal ideas are.

Not sure where the line is between giving good, sound, logical advise(or may be even that isn't allowed) and "splaining" (whatever that is) or "educating someone else to what our personal ideas are" (whatever that is supposed to be). But I will shut up now.

I suspect this sort of thing could be the fate of a few movies this year (NSFW).

Are you saying that they can make more money off a flop than they can off a hit?
Moe_Syzlak said:Sheesh, you guys are something else. I presume most of us here like movies. If you’re like me you like to support the local independent theaters. They will be among the hardest hit by this. The multiplexes are corporations that can most likely be okay. But those local theaters that movie lovers love? They are going to have a hard time. If you can buy some future tickets via gift cards now, you’ll help them make it through this. And yes, I guarantee you that any potentially struggling theater, even if they dont sell gift cards online would be thrilled to sell you one by phone. I didn’t think that sentiment would be controversial. Okay back to your regularly scheduled programming.
