IT’S COME TO THIS: Oscars Attendees Must Wear Masks… But Only Off-Camera.

But okay, here’s my question: How does a virus know when a camera is pointed at you and when it isn’t?

How is this filming protocol supposed to work, scientifically speaking? If two actors are in the same shot together, breathing the same air, what is the benefit of making them put on masks as soon as the scene is over? Does the virus just wait off-camera until they’re done?

And if Hollywood celebrities don’t need to wear masks while they’re on the clock, or sitting in the audience at the Oscars, why do the rest of us need to wear masks? Does a virus get star-struck? Does it say, “Oh no, I’d better not infect this guy, he’s Leonardo Di Caprio”?

Well yes. As America’s Newspaper of Record has reported: In Show Of Solidarity, COVID-19 Vows Not To Infect Anyone Protesting Inequality.
