When you go into a theater, it’s not far off from getting on an airplane.
In both cases, you enter a small, enclosed area, plus rest shoulder-to-shoulder packed in with a bunch of people you’ve never met. You rest there, breathing the same air with these strangers, for hours on end. It is a recipe for the spread of COVID or any other airborne virus, so it’s no wonder that most theaters had to close down. I am only getting back to work now after being closed down for almost a full year. The movie company is unusual now, with a much stronger emphasis on air quality plus Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C systems these mornings. Thanks to COVID, all the people worries about their air quality, because terrible air could mean a long plus uncomfortable sickness. Even with social distancing, plus a lot fewer people in the theater, the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C plan needs to be functioning at a unquestionably high level to keep everything feeling cool plus clean. The large thing is that people believe that the air quality is clean. Perception is reality, so even if the air filters are dirty, cranking down the temperature plus making people believe chilly will trick them into thinking the air quality is better. At our theater I consistently change out the air filters on a correct basis, because I keep that plan blasting to the max all day long. When the venue is empty, I turn off the AC to supply it a rest. But when clients are present, the AC never stops running for a single minute.
