    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Very interesting crop of films this season. I see a lot of films that fit into that "could be a capper, could be $90 million" range. I feel like the second round will be especially important this time.
