Disney parks are closed for at least 2 weeks. Cirque has closed down all shows for at least a month. Colleges, Universities, High schools are closed. Many local theater companies and rental halls are closed as well. Manufacturers are having a hard time getting product or materials that are made overseas. Dealers can't get product to sell and people are canceling orders because their theaters are closed. Our industry is getting hit hard and there are so many of our friends here on CB who are losing money or their jobs. With all of this in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to start a serious discussion about COVID-19 and it's effects on our industry. Share your thoughts of what how it's effecting you? What do you plan to do about it? Do you know of any openings that might help someone here find work?
I'll start it off with some seriously bad news as of a few minutes ago, the CDC has released a new recommendation that all events larger than 50 people be canceled for at least 8 weeks... that's May 10th.
For those of you who are wanting more information about why social distancing and canceling events is important. This article is excellent and visually shows how an exponential spread works.
Sorry to all of you who are losing work, My world is personally up in the air at the moment. My school district is closed down but we hope we are going to be allowed to work and get some maintenance done, but it's touch and go at the moment. I thought I was working tomorrow and I just found out I'm supposed to stay home and wait further instructions... Hang in there friends, we'll get through this somehow.
