Hi chaps, this virus is spreading at a fast pace here in Italy, it doubles the cases every two days, some people just carry it, others are infected but have no symptoms, and this is why this thing is so contagious, it's hidden. When it finally shows up it might be too late, the older You are, the more lethal it is. The only sensible thing to do seems to be avoiding mass events, being it a theatre show, or taking the bus(!). In an attempt to avoid damage to the economy the truth about the virus has been whitewashed, it is clear by now that not damaging the economy in the short term will cause a greater damage in the long run. I guess this is what is happening outside of Italy right now, with a few weeks delay. Shooting has been canceled for most of the ongoing and forthcoming productions, e.g. Mission impossible 7 ran away from Venice as soon as the production company understood that the situation was iffy at best. Most of the editings have been halted, since the workplace is not a safe place, and there is no point in rushing to deliver something that can't be shown in theatres, as public gatherings are forbidden. Internet is on its knees, as too many people are working from home at once. Both me and my wife, who works on set, have suddenly turned jobless, we stay quiet at home, thinking better safe than sorry, and fearful if sneezing or coughing, which may happen, given it's winter, but still You don't know if it's ordinary flu or the killer corona virus... Yes, we can do without NAB, and if they do not cancel it'll be a flop anyway, people will be well aware of what I'm writing by the time NAB should happen, and the show will be deserted, citizens here in Italy seem to be more sensible than their government, even if we always tend to be anarchy oriented, I guess the same might apply to You all, wherever You are in the world.
Take good care of Yourselves my friends, and do not trust whoever says that the COVID-19 is not hitting Your country, the virus knows no customs, and it's pretty aggressive.
Regards, Luca Gazzolo
