DM's only hope for a resumption of Covid testing would be a change in the type of statistics that they measure. Hospitalizations are way down because of the latent benefits of previous vaccinations and from partial immunity caused by previously infected individuals. BUT, people still get sick and stay home! If you look at Covid by measuring waste water you see it is about 150% more prevalent now than when testing was stopped last June. Is there a small hope for testing to resume???? Here is a link of interest. ***** https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/COVID-19-Data-Surveillance/Wastewater

Exactly. People still get sick and stay home. This can disrupt any business
but the film industry probably even more so. It's not just the talent, but all of
the not so easy to replace support staff. And film sets can be hot close quarter
environments where Covid could really catch hold. Testing mitigates the risk
of Covid transmission that could shut down a production for weeks, and possibly
cause a domino effect for other productions that need the support staff. In short, a Covid outbreak is very bad news on any film set. Or any where else for that matter.
Again, just saying Covid test revenues for DM could be very helpful right about now.
People will say Covid is basically like the flu. Well, flu, Covid.. Both can impact a
business or film set very negatively. It's about risk management.
