What measures could theatres actually put in place to be secure? Realistically?

My local theatre is a 1,300 seater and they're currently saying they can hold 106 people in there with full distancing in place so it won't happen, I guess they're relying on the 2m rule to be dropped

and I'm sure it will be in a few weeks.

My sister got her antibody test result today and antibodies were detected (she is a nurse).

Luckily when my dad got a shielding letter she moved out for 12 weeks!

She had no symptoms at all.

I know a couple who work at a GP surgery. One of them tested positive for the antibodies (a big surprise as they had zero symptoms) but their partner didn’t (which is also weird as you’d think they’d pass it on to someone they work, live and sleep with). A weird virus

Yea, all very strange.

My partner's cousin is a doctor and she got a positive antibody test result again with experiencing no symptoms. He husband (also a doctor) is awaiting his results too.

I've applied for an antibody testing programme at the University of Ulster to hopefully get tested.

I do wonder whether it is an especially strange virus (it's a particularly nasty one, not doubt), but there are so many other viruses about that most of us have never paid anywhere near this much attention to before. Maybe human-virus interaction is just weird?

I hope you get selected, let us know how you get on!

I’ve read a few articles that liken it to there being a dark matter element to this virus, in the sense that we’re missing something important that might make it make a bit more sense.

Could be something to do with the viral load, the amount of virus present in the body. You might not get symptoms with a low load but still produce antibodies. There’s a good article about this in New Scientist.  Possibly why health professionals in the front line receive a high load an subsequently a more severe illness. Anyway glad to hear about your sister!

This is also a distinct possibility! I think it’s the sheer range of impact of this virus that seems puzzling, from completely asymptomatic, to completely destroying the lungs to the point they get splattered onto the surrounding organs.

And what about situations where a show has already sold 1000 seats? They surely can't afford to do the same show 10 nights in a row to 100 at a time. Think theatres have it the hardest.

Have to say, football being back does feel like a huge deal. To me personally this feels like one of the most significant moments yet (drug breakthroughs aside). I'm not a big shopper so this feels like the most "return to normal" thing yet. Helps that Sterling just scored of course 😁

Another possibility I've read is the idea that some are naturally immune to it from other viruses etc. 

But it does seem like there could be something being missed, like a specific trait or genetic marker

Cross immunisation from other coronavirus, that wouldn’t surprise me int the slightest. Some people may just be completely immune, but would never show any antibodies.

geezers everywhere jizzing their pants over footy starting.

For those who do footie and are three months into furlough, it's furlough heaven.

But I do realise it's the circus to go with furlough bread.

Interesting (North American) take on when things will get back to normal. Seems like they agree that sporting events/plays/gigs are likely to be the last.
