dreamachine - the target demographic going to see these films aren't put off, and the recent record breaking box office numbers go some way to show this.

LPD
Demand is there (tick)
Big franchise films ready to go (tick)
Established cinema chains (tick)
Global well established vaccination programmes (tick)

Anymore ticks?

"I don't know the future... I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you how it's going to begin."

Morning all especially dreamachine
From the BBC:

President Joe Biden is expected to address the nation on Tuesday but the White House said he was not planning on "locking the country down".

Another encouraging sign from the latest South African figures is the consecutive drop in cases from the peak.

I read from this that by the it peaks in other countries we will have a number of real world references because it looks like this wave is a narrow and tall peaked wave.

Anyway interesting backdrop to offset any knee jerk reactions

Onlyonewhufc - yes really encouraging.

The virus fighting duo of booster vaccines and his unlikely partner omicron (does sound like a transformer) battling his deadly and evil brother delta.

A Marvel plot is ever there was one!

Dr John Campbell just released his daily analysis with a view on the US worth a watch especially for the non-shorters amongst us.

Christmas Day guidance in Scotland 'will not change, Nicola setting the standard and stealing Boris's thunder.

Another interesting perspective on omicron:

Onlyonewhufc exactly 8.53 not 16 like the weekends scare story

Held up well today all things considered given the ammount of media FUD.

The current situation with 1,2nd and booster programs is night and day different from where we were last year.

More time to consider the real facts seems like an optimal approach to me.

Opps well spotted... 45 deaths were recorded today, a decrease of 66 from last week's 111 and percentage decrease of 59.5 %

KickThePuss agree 8 to 16 looks mightily suspicious and that article seemed very biased...

Reppyrr stats can tell whatever story you'd like, imagine if on hospital admission they asked have you been Christmas shopping.

85% of hospital admittance had been Christmas shopping in the last week.

Hospital admittance goes up in the winter, and hence I believe with a more infectious but milder variant the numbers are being conflated.

What we have learned should provide some reassurance in the comming days and weeks as to the backdrop that may or may not impact CINE.

The hypothesis was omicron displaces delta and early studies showing bronchial infections upper respiratory, 70 times that of delta, but ten times less in lower respiratory the important part for oxygen exchange.

Deaths 110% lower from last week. Of course with more omicron cases non omicron addmitance will be recorded as omicron hospitalisations....

The above is good news

smalltrader - " seems like $250 could be reached" - could be double that

Tegop - "up to another year of lockdown" - no chance - billions of doses of vaccines - get vaccinated and learn to live alongside it - like the common cold

Apologies MrDribbles - for using words as tokens in communication and not thinking about all the interpretations of how each token would be processed.

Anyway have a look at Dr John's video https://youtu.be/_T6C-2FNy8I?t=591

I trust the remaining shareholders that weren't swayed by earlier events in the week aren't the sort of investors to succumb to a fear campaign.
