Daredevil star Jennifer Garner has shared an interview she conducted with medical expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, and while they cover a number of topics, there's one, in particular, we think will be of interest. The actress the top U.S. doctor about a potential vaccine, and despite hopes that one will be available by November, Fauci makes it clear that's unlikely right now. 

He also points out that a vaccine doesn't guarantee an immediate safety for people, and when Garner asked when he believes it will be safe for people to sit in theaters again or go to performances which have been cancelled due to the pandemic, Fauci ended up dropping quite the bombshell.

The doctor believes that it will take at least a year for a vaccine to make places like that safe, with communities only gaining an immunity providing general health safety practices are followed.

As a result, Fauci doesn't believe that it would be safe to sit in a theater without a mask until Fall 2021! Ultimately, it depends on when a vaccine is released, and how effective that proves to be. Needless to say, this is even more bad news for the movie industry, and even next Fall might be optimistic.

In Canada our theaters are open, at least where i am in Southern Ontario.

The way its being done is. 2 seats open, skip 4 seats, 2 seats open, skips 4, 2 open in each row, every other row.

Works out to 36 seats per showing.

@billnye69 - Will that theater even be able to keep its doors open?

@billnye69 - yeah, its not like theaters won't be back open until then... its just that long (estimated) until the vaccine (theoretical) has been out and in use (for those that take vaccines) to where attendance levels may be allowed to return to prior levels assuming the theaters don't panic at who is the first to enact full seating again... due to possibly being wrong.

@billnye69 - where I am they go with having the seat in front and behind you empty and two empties seats to your left and right.

In the best scenario it works out 50, but that never really happens anyway
